Background: Respiratory supercomplexes are known to exist, but their function remains to be revealed.Results: Plant supercomplexes are affected by hypoxia and a concomitant drop in pH.Conclusion: Respiratory supercomplexes are dynamic structures that are affected by the intracellular environment.Significance: Supercomplexes could have a regulatory function in guiding electrons through alternative respiratory pathways.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
