METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR MODULATING ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE (ATP) IN CELLS AND PREVENTING CELL INJURY OR DEATH VIA POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS TO ATP SYNTHASE

摘要

Compositions and methods for modulating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in cellsvia altering post-translational modifications of ATP synthase subunits orprecursors thereof such as the ATP synthase .beta. chain and its precursor areprovided. These compositions and methods are useful in preconditioning organsand preventing cell injury or cell death via regulating ATP synthesis orhydrolysis in cells of the organs.
