Electron flow converges at the Q-junction from respiratory Complexes I and II (CI+II e-input), glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and electron-transferring flavoprotein. Convergent electron flow corresponds to the operation of the TCA cycle and mitochondrial substrate supply in vivo.
Additive effect
Convergent electron flow simultaneously through CI+II into the Q-junction supports higher OXPHOS capacity and ETS capacity than separate electron flow through either CI or CII. Physiological substrate combinations supporting convergent CI+II e-input are required for reconstitution of intracellular TCA cycle function. The convergent CI+II effect may be completely or partially additive, suggesting that conventional bioenergetic protocols with mt-preparations have underestimated cellular OXPHOS capacities.
