The alternative oxidase (AOX) is part of an alternative pathway of electron transport in the mitochondrial respiratory chain that bypasses the cytochrome c axis, promoting oxygen consumption, and therefore decreasing the amount of reactive oxygen species resulted from the respiration process. When expressed in lines of Drosophila melanogaster with neurological and mitochondrial dysfunctio…
In theory, the activity of the mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) decreases ATP production by the respiratory chain of fruitflies that express this enzyme transgenically. Preliminary data show that carbohydrate poor diets have a significant impact on the development of AOX-expressing flies. To analyze in details this negative effect of AOX in conditions of nutritional stress, diverse…
