Mitochondria from the embryos of brine shrimp ( Artemia franciscana ) do not undergo Ca 2+ -induced permeability transition in the presence of a profound Ca 2+  uptake capacity. Furthermore, this crustacean is the only organism known to exhibit bongkrekate-insensitive mitochondrial adenine nucleotide exchange, prompting the conjecture that refractoriness to bongkrekate and absence of Ca 2+ -induced permeability transition are somehow related phenomena. Here we report that mitochondria isolated from two other crustaceans, brown shrimp ( Crangon crangon ) and common prawn ( Palaemon serratus ) exhibited bongkrekate-sensitive mitochondrial adenine nucleotide transport, but lacked a Ca 2+ -induced permeability transition. Ca 2+  uptake capacity was robust in the absence of adenine nucleotides in both crustaceans, unaffected by either bongkrekate or cyclosporin A. Transmission electron microscopy images of Ca 2+ -loaded mitochondria showed needle-like formations of electron-dense material strikingly similar to those observed in mitochondria from the hepatopancreas of blue crab ( Callinectes sapidus ) and the embryos of  Artemia franciscana . Alignment analysis of the partial coding sequences of the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) expressed in  Crangon crangon  and  Palaemon serratus  versus the complete sequence expressed in  Artemia franciscana  reappraised the possibility of the 208-214 amino acid region for conferring sensitivity to bongkrekate. However, our findings suggest that the ability to undergo Ca 2+ -induced mitochondrial permeability transition and the sensitivity of adenine nucleotide translocase to bongkrekate are not necessarily related phenomena.

Absence of Ca2+-Induced Mitochondrial Permeability Transition but Presence of Bongkrekate-Sensitive Nucleotide Exchange in C. crangon and P. serratus
