RESUMO

Determination of cellular ATP levels, a key indicator of metabolic status, is essential for the quantitative analysis of metabolism. The biciliate green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an excellent experimental organism to study ATP production pathways, including photosynthesis and respiration, particularly because it can be cultured either photoautotrophically or heterotrophically. Additionally, its cellular ATP concentration, [ATP], is reflected in the beating of its cilia. However, the methods currently used for quantifying the cellular ATP levels are time consuming or invasive. In this study, we established a rapid method for estimating cytosolic [ATP] from the ciliary beating frequency in C. reinhardtii. Using an improved method of motility reactivation in demembranated cell models, we obtained calibration curves for [ATP]-ciliary beating frequency over a physiological range of ATP concentrations. These curves allowed rapid estimation of the cytosolic [ATP] in live wild-type cells to be ∼2.0 mM in the light and ∼1.5 mM in the dark: values comparable to those obtained by other methods. Furthermore, we used this method to assess the effects of genetic mutations or inhibitors of photosynthesis or respiration quantitatively and noninvasively. This sensor-free method is a convenient tool for quickly estimating cytosolic [ATP] and studying the mechanism of ATP production in C. reinhardtii or other ciliated organisms.
