Oxidative phosphorylation in rat oral mucosal mitochondria.

Oral mucosal mitochondria were isolated and characterized morphologically by electron microscopy. Polarographic measurements were made of respiration and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondrial preparations. ADP:O ratios approaching or slightly exceeding the theoretical maxima and stabilized respiratory control ratios were achieved with malate + glutamate, succinate and ascorbate-N,N,N1N1 tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) as substrates. Inhibition by rotenone, antimycin A, azide, and cyanide established the classical electron transport chain as the major pathway of mitochondrial respiration. Respiration of the oral mucosal mitochondria was stimulated by DNP in the presence of succinate. DNP-stimulated respiration exceeded that observed in the presence of ADP plus Pi and increasing the concentration of DNP progressively inhibited respiration.

The ATP-to-oxygen stoichiometries of oxidative phosphorylation by rat liver mitochondria. An analysis of ADP-induced oxygen jumps by linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

Uncertainty exists as to the proton stoichiometries of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and consequently as to the ATP stoichiometries. In rat liver mitochondria, ADP/O ratios were determined from the total and extra oxygen consumed during ADP-stimulated respiration under conditions of quantitative conversion of ADP to ATP. For succinate, glutamate plus malate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, and 2-oxoglutarate, respectively, ADP/total O was 1.71, 2.71, 2.61, and 3.45. ADP/extra O was 2.03, 3.04, 3.23, and 4.15. The results were interpreted in terms of linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It was shown that ADP/extra O = Z/q where Z is the phenomenological stoichiometry and q is the degree of coupling. q was determined from the dependence of respiratory rate on delta Gp, the phosphorylation potential, and was about 0.98 for all substrates. The results were consistent with ideal ATP/O stoichiometries of 2 for succinate, 3 for glutamate plus malate, 3 or 3 1/4 for 3-hydroxybutyrate, and 4 for 2-oxoglutarate. Taking into account the oxidation-reduction free-energy changes measured across Sites 1 + 2 at static head (J.J. Lemasters, R. Grunwald, and R.K. Emaus J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3058-3063), an ideal ATP/O stoichiometry of 3 1/4 for 3-hydroxybutyrate is proposed. The lower ATP/O for glutamate plus malate is then accounted for by proton translocation linked to glutamate/aspartate exchange. The data suggest a new 13-proton scheme of chemiosmotic coupling in which proton stoichiometries are 3 for the F1Fo-ATPase, 1 for the exchange of ATP for ADP and Pi, and 5, 4, and 4 for Sites 1, 2, and 3.

Focused proteomics: monoclonal antibody-based isolation of the oxidative phosphorylation machinery and detection of phosphoproteins using a fluorescent phosphoprotein gel stain.

We have raised monoclonal antibodies capable of immunocapturing all five complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation for evaluating their post-translational modifications. Complex I (NADH dehydrogenase), complex II (succinate dehydrogenase), complex III (cytochrome c reductase), complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase), and complex V (F1F0 ATP synthase) from bovine heart mitochondria were obtained in good yield from small amounts of tissue in more than 90% purity in one step. The composition and purity of the complexes was evaluated by Western blotting using monoclonal antibodies against individual subunits of the five complexes. In this first study, the phosphorylation state of the proteins without inducing phosphorylation or dephosphorylation was identified by using the novel Pro-Q Diamond phosphoprotein gel stain. The major phosphorylated components were the same as described before in sucrose gradient enriched complexes. In addition a few additional potential phosphoproteins were observed. Since the described monoclonal antibodies show cross reactivity to human proteins, this procedure will be a fast and efficient way of studying post-translational modifications in control and patient samples using only small amounts of tissue.

[Detection of a paramagnetic product developing during oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria].

It was shown by ESR technique using flow system combined with ESR-spectrometer that paramagnetic product appearing in the course of oxidative phosphorylation was directly associated with mitochondrial ATPase operation. A decrease of ESR signal intensity and the changes of its form observed on mitochondria uncoupled by 2,4-dinitrophenol as compared with those inhibited by olygomicin suggest that in the case of olygomycin block a free radical ATPase linked intermediate can be recorded, the ESR signal of which seems to be partly due to flavin semiquinone of ATPsynthetase itself.

High phosphate requirement for oxidative phosphorylation and low affinity for phosphate transport in newborn rat liver mitochondria.

Rat liver mitochondria are not fully functional at birth. The relationship between this deficiency and the affinity for phosphate, in oxidative phosphorylation or in phosphate transport, have been studied. The phosphate concentration necessary to observe maximal rate of succinate oxidation in the presence of ADP was higher for newborn than for adult rat liver mitochondria. After preincubation of newborn rat liver mitochondria with ATP, the rate of succinate oxidation in the presence of ADP increased with phosphate concentration similarly for newborn and adult rat liver mitochondria. The maximal rate of phosphate-acetate exchange, which is an indirect measure of the rate of phosphate transport across the mitochondrial membrane, was not significantly different for adult and newborn rat liver mitochondria. On the contrary the apparent affinity for phosphate was about ten-fold lower for newborn than for adult mitochondria.

Stimulation of oxidative phosphorylation by electrophoretic K+ entry associated to electroneutral K+/H+ exchange in yeast mitochondria.

The effect of the addition of KCl, at constant osmolarity, was investigated on oxidative phosphorylation in isolated yeast mitochondria. KCl stimulated both respiration and ATP synthesis rates without changing the ATP/O ratio. KCl did not change the relationships between respiration rates and the protonmotive force. Since the K+/H+ exchange activity was active under these conditions, the stimulatory effect of respiration could be explained by the net proton entry caused by the electrophoretic K+ entry/electroneutral K+/H+ exchange cycle. On the other hand, K+ entry stimulated phosphate accumulation and transport under non-phosphorylating conditions and decreased the kinetic control by phosphate transport under phosphorylating conditions. Additionally, the stimulation of ATP synthesis strongly depended on the activity of phosphate transport. Taken together, these data showed that electrophoretic K(+)-entry and electroneutral K+/H+ exchange occurred in phosphorylating yeast mitochondria but did not promote any uncoupling between respiration and ATP synthesis.

The role of energy in hyperthermia-induced mammalian cell inactivation: a study of the effects of glucose starvation and an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation.

When cultured Chinese hamster cells were exposed to 43 degrees C hyperthermia, effects due to glucose deprivation and to the presence of the uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, carbonylcyanide-3-chlorophenylhydrazone, during the 43 degrees C treatment proved to be strongly accelerated compared to the effects at normal temperature (37 degrees C). This strongly indicates that the availability of energy plays an important role in the response of these cells to hyperthermia. One of the reasons cells die after hyperthermia may be a lethal lack of energy. Cells heated before glucose deprivation were able to maintain viability for a longer period during deprivation than cells without the preheat treatment. As the cells might develop thermotolerance after the heat exposure, this suggests that cells in the thermotolerant state use energy in a more economical way.

Serum CK, calcium, magnesium, and oxidative phosphorylation in mdx mouse muscular dystrophy.

Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) contents of skeletal muscle and isolated mitochondria, as well as oxidative phosphorylation of X-linked muscular dystrophic (mdx) mice were compared with normal control animals at ages 5, 10, and 23 weeks. Serum CK is elevated in mdx mice at all ages, with highest activities at 5 weeks. The Ca content of dystrophic skeletal muscle is increased at all ages, whereas no clearly abnormal trend in muscle Mg levels was observed. Noncollagen protein (NCP), which was used as a reference base, is significantly diminished in muscle from 10- and 23-week-old mdx animals. Isolated mitochondria from mdx mice have elevated calcium content and decreased respiratory control ratios with NAD-linked substrates pyruvate/malate. The findings are distinct from those in dystrophic mice, strain 129/ReJ, but similar to observations in dystrophic hamsters and Duchenne muscular dystrophy and reflect the occurrence of overt muscle cell necrosis.

Effects of enhancing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation with reducing equivalents and ubiquinone on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium toxicity and complex I-IV damage in neuroblastoma cells.

The effects of increasing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), by enhancing electron transport chain components, were evaluated on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) toxicity in brain neuroblastoma cells. Although glucose is a direct energy source, ultimately nicotinamide and flavin reducing equivalents fuel ATP produced through OXPHOS. The findings indicate that cell respiration/mitochondrial O(2) consumption (MOC) (in cells not treated with MPP+) is not controlled by the supply of glucose, coenzyme Q(10) (Co-Q(10)), NADH+, NAD or nicotinic acid. In contrast, MOC in whole cells is highly regulated by the supply of flavins: riboflavin, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN), where cell respiration reached up to 410% of controls. In isolated mitochondria, FAD and FMN drastically increased complex I rate of reaction (1300%) and (450%), respectively, having no effects on complex II or III. MPP+ reduced MOC in whole cells in a dose-dependent manner. In isolated mitochondria, MPP+ exerted mild inhibition at complex I, negligible effects on complexes II-III, and extensive inhibition of complex IV. Kinetic analysis of complex I revealed that MPP+ was competitive with NADH, and partially reversible by FAD and FMN. Co-Q(10) potentiated complex II ( approximately 200%), but not complex I or III. Despite positive influence of flavins and Co-Q(10) on complexes I-II function, neither protected against MPP+ toxicity, indicating inhibition of complex IV as the predominant target. The nicotinamides and glucose prevented MPP+ toxicity by fueling anaerobic glycolysis, evident by accumulation of lactate in the absence of MOC. The data also define a clear anomaly of neuroblastoma, indicating a preference for anaerobic conditions, and an adverse response to aerobic. An increase in CO(2), CO(2)/O(2) ratio, mitochondrial inhibition or O(2) deprivation was not directly toxic, but activated metabolism through glycolysis prompting depletion of glucose and starvation. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that the mechanism of action for MPP+, involves the inhibition of complex I and and more specifically complex IV, leading to impaired OXPHOS and MOC. Moreover, flavin dervatives control the rate of complex I/cellular respiration and Co-Q10 augments complex II [corrected].

Possible involvement of the 29 kDa protein in H+-ATPase in the action of cationic uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. Effect of the (o-phenanthroline)2-Cu2+ complex as a cationic uncoupler.

The divalent cation (o-phenanthroline)2-Cu2+ complex was found to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. Its uncoupling activity depended on inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the incubation medium, and was inhibited by the SH-reagent N-ethylmaleimide, and retarded by ATP. The uncoupling by the (o-phenanthroline)2-Cu2+ complex was suggested to be due to its modification of sulfhydryl groups in the 29 kDa protein in H+-ATPase.

Mitochondrial translocation of DNMT3L suppresses oxidative phosphorylation and restrains megakaryopoiesis.

DNMT3L, a catalytically inactive member of the DNA methyltransferase family, is identified here as a negative regulator of megakaryopoiesis. In K562 cells undergoing PMA-induced megakaryocytic differentiation, DNMT3L protein levels declined progressively, and shRNA-mediated depletion enhanced differentiation, whereas overexpression attenuated it. Consistent with these findings, Dnmt3l-knockout mice exhibited elevated peripheral blood platelet counts and expanded bone marrow megakaryocytes. Mechanistically, megakaryocytic differentiation triggered rapid mitochondrial translocation of DNMT3L within 6 h; mitochondrial DNMT3L suppressed oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity and ATP production and downregulated mitochondrial-encoded genes spanning Complex I, III, IV, and ATP synthase, without altering mitochondrial DNA copy number. This metabolic suppression was mediated through compartment-specific remodeling of DNMT3L-containing protein complexes: upon differentiation, DNMT3L selectively dissociated from DNMT1 and DNMT3B in mitochondria, relieving the repressive constraint on OXPHOS, whereas in the nucleus DNMT3L remained associated with DNMT3A, which concomitantly accumulated during differentiation. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism by which a catalytically inactive epigenetic co-regulator spatially redistributes to coordinate mitochondrial metabolic output with nuclear epigenetic control, thereby facilitating terminal megakaryocytic maturation.

Influence of the anesthetic 2,6-diisopropylphenol on the oxidative phosphorylation of isolated rat liver mitochondria.

Isolated rat liver mitochondria have been incubated in the presence of the general anesthetic 2,6-diisopropylphenol (0-100 microM) and the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation has been evaluated by measuring the respiratory rates, the rates of ATP synthesis or hydrolysis and the magnitude of the transmembrane electrical potential. The results obtained indicate that: (a) in mitochondria energized either by succinate or by ATP, 2,6-diisopropylphenol decreased the transmembrane electrical potential and increased the rates of either electron transfer or ATP hydrolysis; (b) in succinate-energized mitochondria 2,6-diisopropylphenol, at concentrations causing substantial depression of the transmembrane electrical potential, did not modify either the rate of phosphorylation of added ADP or the rate of ADP-stimulated respiration: (c) in succinate-energized mitochondria 2,6-diisopropylphenol caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the uncoupler-stimulated rate of succinate oxidation. These findings suggest that under the experimental conditions reported 2,6-diisopropylphenol affected the generation and/or maintenance of the transmembrane electrical potential while leaving unchanged the coupling between the electron flow in the respiratory chain and the synthesis of ATP.

Steady-state kinetic formalism applied to multienzyme complexes, oxidative phosphorylation, and interacting enzymes.

A kinetic formalism, quite generally valid for free energy transducing, steady-state, macromolecular systems in biology, is applied here to multienzyme complexes, oxidative phosphorylation, and interacting enzymes. Systems of this type, comprising several interacting subunits, each with its own discrete set of states, present no new features in principle. Hence, they may be handled by the earlier kinetic formalism without modification. However, the kinetic diagram can become quite complicated because the state of each subunit (enzyme) must be specified in order to specify any one state of the system (complex) as a whole. Cycles, forces, fluxes, free energy levels, and state probabilities are considered.

Effect of uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation on microtubule location and surface structure in murine mast cells.

"Uncouplers" of oxidative phosphorylation (sodium azide, DNP, and oligomycin) alter the location of microtubules within murine mast cells. Both cytoplasmic microtubules, perpendicular to the plasma membrane within cell surface folds, and intranuclear microtubules were observed. In addition, one or more dense plaque-like structures adjacent the plasma membrane in mast cells appeared following incubation in the antimetabolities. Intranuclear microtubules and cytoplasmic microtubules within the cell surface ridges disappeared in azide-treated mast cells that were reincubated or "recovered" in PBS. However, both these structures remained in oligomycin- and DNP-treated murine mast cells following reincubation.

Abnormalities in gastrointestinal motility are associated with diseases of oxidative phosphorylation in children.

OBJECTIVE: Disorders of the mitochondrial electron transport chain enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) have neurologic, musculoskeletal, ophthalmologic, cardiac, and GI manifestations. Many adult and pediatric patients with disorders of OXPHOS have abnormalities in intestinal motility. The purpose of this study was to describe pediatric patients who initially presented with signs of GI dysmotility and were later evaluated and found to have a disorder of OXPHOS. METHODS: Data were collected on six patients, including initial GI and neurologic symptoms, histology of skeletal muscle biopsies, mitochondrial DNA mutational analysis, OXPHOS enzyme assay, upper GI barium imaging, technetium-99M liquid gastric emptying scan, upper GI endoscopy, esophageal manometry, and antroduodenal manometry. RESULTS: All six children presented with symptoms of GI dysmotility within 2 wk of life. Patients later developed symptoms of neurologic disorders. All patients had abnormalities in OXPHOS enzyme analysis. Muscle histology showed nonspecific changes with no ragged red fibers. Sequencing of the mitochondrial DNA showed no recognized mutations. No patient had any evidence of intestinal obstruction or malrotation by upper GI barium imaging. Four patients had delayed gastric emptying. Three patients had endoscopic and histologic evidence of esophagitis. All six had demonstrable neuropathic abnormalities by antroduodenal manometry, including the following: nonpropagated antral bursts, absent migrating motor complexes, postprandial antral hypomotility, retrograde migrating motor complexes, and tonic contractions with the migrating motor complex. CONCLUSIONS: Abnormalities in GI motility may be an early presenting sign of disorders of OXPHOS in children.

Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation by divalent cationic cyanine dye. Participation of phosphate transporter.

The trinuclear cationic cyanine dye tri-S-C4(5) was found to be an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. Its uncoupling required inorganic phosphate (Pi) or arsenate, which is transported into mitochondria via the Pi transport system, and was abolished by the Pi-transport inhibitor N-ethylmaleimide or mersalyl. The dye stimulated Pi uptake into mitochondria, and its uncoupling action was accompanied by swelling of the mitochondria. The adenine nucleotides ADP and ATP protected mitochondria from uncoupling by the dye. The dye taken up by mitochondria was released into the incubation medium on induction of uncoupling. In the absence of Pi, the dye did not cause uncoupling, but its uptake was much greater than in the presence of Pi. The cyanine dye is suggested to induce uncoupling by acting on the membrane, rather than after its electrophoretic transfer into the mitochondria.
