NADH is impermeable to mitochondrial memebrane. So they use shuttle system to transfer the reducing equivalents for energy production.
In repsonse to low oxygen HIF-1 Alpha act as master regulator. It shifts the aerobic respiration to a anaerobic. It does by activating the glycolyic enzymes and inhibiting the TCA cycle regulators.
IF-1 is more active during Acidic pH but as proton gradient across mitochondrial memebrane leads to increase in pH. At high pH IF1 make tetramer and not able to inhibit the ATP synthase enzyme.
IF-1 dimerization affects the aerobic respiration output, by inhbiting the Oxidative phosphorylation. It happens in most of the cancerous situation which is relied on glycolysis.
