✦ Synopsis

Two sites for β-oxidation of fatty acids in pea (Pisum sativum L.) cotyledons exist. One site is the microbody, the other the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial β-oxidation of fatty acids is carnitine-dependent. The fatty acid permeates the membrane as palmitoylcarnitine which is formed from cytosolic-side palmitoyl-CoA by a carnitine palmitoyltransferase located on the exterior face of the inner mitochondrial membrane as a peripheral protein. A single-gated pore integral membrane translocator is proposed to exchange the palmitoylcarnitine for carnitine or acetylcarnitine across the membrane. An internal (matrix side) carnitine palmitoyltransferase then reforms palmitoyl-CoA which enters β-oxidation and subsequently the tricarboxylic-acid cycle.

The tonoplast is usually characterized by the presence of two electrogenic proton pumps: a vacuolartype H+-ATPase and a pyrophosphatase, as well as a putative water-channel-forming protein (y-TIP). Using a post-embedding immunogold labelling technique, we have detected the presence of these transpor

Mitochondria from pea (Pisurn sativum L.) seeds were separated into two fractions, mitoplasts (intact inner membrane) and the outer-membrane fraction. The mitoplasts only oxidised palmitate in the presence of carnitine and added outermembrane fraction. Mitoplasts were able to oxidise palmitoylCoA in

## Abstract SDS‐PAGE of clathrin coated vesicle (CCV) fractions prepared from developing pea cotyledons are characterized by the presence of a 28 kDa polypeptide. Like clathrin light chains, this polypeptide is heat‐stable and can bind calcium ions. However, the distribution of this polypeptide is
