Control and virus-transformed baby hamster kidney cells resistant to ethidium bromide. II. Membrane properties.

Aspects of membrane structure and functions were studied in ethidium bromide resistant cells. Submitochondrial particles were solubilized and electrophoresed. The gel patterns, representing mitochondrial membrane proteins, demonstrated qualitative and quantitative alterations in mitochondrial preparations derived from virus-transformed cells and ethidium bromide resistant cells as compared to the control cells. The plasma membrane glycoproteins were labelled by the sodium borohydride method. The glycoproteins were pleased with Triton X-100 and electrophoresed. Fluorograms of the gels demonstrated some marked differences between the ethidium bromide resistant cells and their parental strain. The observed alterations in the membrane glycoproteins did not result in altered glucose transport properties or in the elution patterns of plasma membrane glycopeptides as analyzed by Sephadex G-50 chromatography. Dye uptake and binding studies with intact parental and drug resistant cells and their isolated mitochondria demonstrated no alteration of the membrane permeability or the number of binding sites for ethidium bromide. Similar results were also obtained with a cyanine dye. This latter finding was significant in that it permitted one to exclude dye exclusion as a mechanism for ethidium bromide resistance.

Release of the inhibitory action of the natural ATPase inhibitor protein on the mitochondrial ATPase.

The rate of ATP hydrolysis by submitochondrial particles prepared from bovine heart mitochondria in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP increases from a value of 0.4 mumol min-1 mg-1 to 6-7 mumol min-1 mg-1 upon incubation for 5-6 h at 38 degrees C. The increase in activity does not occur in particles that have been passed through a Sephadex column. The activation is prevented and partially reversed by ATP. This indicates that the increase in hydrolytic activity is due to abolition of the inhibitory action of the natural ATPase inhibitor protein of Pullman and Monroy [(1963) J. Biol. Chem. 238, 3762-3769]. At maximal activation approximately 50% of the inhibitor protein of the starting preparation remains in the particles as inferred from direct assay of inhibitor protein content and by its interaction with 125I-labeled antibodies directed against the inhibitor protein. The extent of the activation, which presumably is an index of the equilibrium between active and inactive enzymes, is strictly dependent on salts. The rate of the activation depends on the concentration of salts and is favored by alkaline pH. From results of experiments on the effect of temperature on the rate of activation of the ATPase, it was calculated that the activation energy, delta H not equal to and delta S not equal to of the process were 53.34 kJ/mol, 50.83 kJ/mol and -158.99 J mol-1 K-1, respectively. The data indicate that in its native inhibiting state, the interaction of the inhibitor protein with the enzyme involves electrostatic interactions. Also it is concluded that abolition of the inhibitory action of the protein on ATPase activity is not compulsorily linked to release of the protein into the water space.

Benzoyl peroxide interaction with mitochondria: inhibition of respiration and induction of rapid, large-amplitude swelling.

When micromolar concentrations of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) are added to rat liver mitochondria, inhibition of mitochondrial NADH-oxidase and succinoxidase is observed. The addition of 2,4-dinitrophenol, an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, results in only partial release of this inhibition, suggesting that BPO inhibits both electron and energy transfer in mitochondria. Release of inhibition is also observed when an electron donor, N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, is added, suggesting that inhibition occurs on the substrate side of cytochrome c. When BPO is added to respiring submitochondrial particles, only reduced cytochrome b is observed to accumulate in the difference spectrum (reduced minus oxidized) in a manner analogous to that observed in the presence of antimycin A. These results indicate that BPO interacts at coupling site II between cytochromes b and c1. When respiring SMP are treated with BPO in the presence of the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide, electron spin resonance signals attributable to the hydroxyl and superoxide adducts are observed. Catalase and superoxide dismutase inhibit the formation of these adducts, suggesting the involvement of both hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radicals in this process. BPO also induces rapid, large-amplitude swelling of mitochondria; the swelling is dependent on the presence of monovalent cations but is independent of the presence of calcium, oxygen, and respiratory substrate. BPO-induced swelling appears to be disassociated from radical production and lipid peroxidation.

[Reasons causing a lag period in the oxidative phosphorylation process. Isn't ATP an internal uncoupler of ATP synthetase?].

The kinetics of oxidative phosphorylation catalyzed by bovine heart submitochondrial particles was studied in a range of MgATP and MgADP concentrations from 0.3 to 10 mM. It is shown that, at a low uncoupler concentration (0.9 microM of tetrachlorotrifluoromethylbenzimidazole, the lag period of the reaction increases from 12 s to 2-3 min, and KM for Pi increases severalfold; the value of Vmax remains practically unchanged. Increasing the [MgATP]/[MgADP] concentration ratio, with their total concentration being unchanged, leads to similar changes in the kinetics of oxidative phosphorylation. The value of delta pH generated on the membrane of AS particles at delta microH+ = 60 delta pH was measured using 9-aminoacridine. It was found that the electrochemical potential of H+ ions shows the same thermodynamic shift in the reaction of energy-dependent Pi -ATP exchange throughout the [MgATP]/[MgADP] concentration range studied, from 0.1 to 10: the synthesis on the ATP molecule is provided by the transmembrane transfer of two H+ ions. It was shown that the binding of ATP and/or ADP in the allosteric site, whose saturation is necessary for the functioning of ATP synthase, occurs with equal constants, 1-2 mM. It is concluded that the lag period in the synthesis of ATP indicates the monomolecular transition ATP hydrolase-->ATP sysnthase, which comes about by the action of transmembrane potential. The binding of MgADP or MgATP renders the enzyme structure "more coupled" or "less coupled", respectively. Structural distinctions manifest themselves in a kinetically different behavior of mitochondrial ATP synthase at [MgATP] > [MgADP] and [MgATP] < [MgADP] and do not suggest futile leakage of H+ through the membrane.

The effect of metal ions on mitochondrial pyridine dinucleotide transhydrogenase.

Bovine heart submitochondrial particle transhydrogenase is inhibited by cations in a concentration and pH-dependent manner, and non-energy-linked transhydrogenation is inhibited to a greater extent by metals than the energy-linked reaction. The inhibition of the enzyme by Mg2+ is competitive with the NADP substrate and non-competitive with the NAD substrate. Mg2+ stimulates inactivation of the enzyme by 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), and protects against thermal and proteolytic inactivation. This suggests that Mg2+ binding in the NADP site alters transhydrogenase to a more thermostable conformation, which is less susceptible to attack by trypsin and more reactive with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). Other cation inhibitors mimic Mg2+ in these properties. The order of effectiveness of the inhibitors tested is La3+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Ca2+ congruent to Mg2+ greater than Sr2+ greater than Na+ congruent to K+. This order is described by the Irving-Williams order for the stability of metal-ligand complexes, suggesting that carboxylates or amines may comprise the inhibitory cation binding site.

Exploration of delta-subunit interactions in beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase by monoclonal antibodies.

Three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) recognizing distinct epitopes on the delta-subunit of beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase were studied for their reactivity towards the delta-subunit both in isolated F1 and in the F0-F1 complex of submitochondrial particles. Two of the antibodies termed mAb delta 195 and mAb delta 239 had free access to delta in F1 and the F0-F1 complex. Partial hindrance was observed for the third antibody mAb delta 22. By a double antibinding assay, it was found that the binding sites for mAb delta 195 and mAb delta 239 were close to each other and possibly overlapping. Mapping studies conducted with the isolated delta-subunit showed that mAb delta 195 and mAb delta 239 interacted with the N-terminal portion of delta extending from Ala-1 to Met-16, whereas mAb delta 22 interacted with the fragment spanning Ser-17-Glu-68. It was concluded that the Ala-1-Met-16 segment of the delta-subunit in F1 and the F0-F1 complex is freely accessible from the outside, whereas the Ser-17-Glu-68 segment of delta is partially hidden, possibly as a result of interactions with other subunits.

Matrix NADH dehydrogenases of plant mitochondria and sites of quinone reduction by complex I.

In order to distinguish the pathways involved in the oxidation of matrix NADH in plant mitochondria, the oxidation of NADH and nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide (reduced form) was investigated in submitochondrial particles prepared from beetroot (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Derwent Globe) and soybeans (Glycine max L. cv. Bragg). Nicotinamide-hypoxanthine-dinucleotide(reduced form)-oxidase activity was more strongly inhibited by rotenone than the NADH-oxidase activity but both of the rotenone-inhibited activities could be stimulated by adding ubiquinone-1. The corresponding ubiquinone-1-reductase activities were inhibited by rotenone (to 69%) and further inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (to 79%), whilst the K3Fe(CN)6-reductase activities were not sensitive to either rotenone or N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Immunological analysis of mitochondrial proteins using an antiserum raised against purified beetroot complex I indicated very few differences between soybean and fresh and aged beetroot mitochondria, despite their varying sensitivities to rotenone. We confirm that there are two dehydrogenases capable of oxidising internal NADH and that only one of these, namely complex I, is inhibited by rotenone. Further, we conclude that complex I has two potential sites of quinone reduction, both sensitive to N,N'-dicyclohexycarbodiimide inhibition but only one of which is sensitive to rotenone inhibition.

A competitive inhibition of the mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) by ADP-ribose.

Considerable quantitative variations in the competitive inhibition of NADH oxidase activity of bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) by different samples of NAD- were observed. ADP-ribose (ADPR) was identified as the inhibitory contaminating substance responsible for variations in the inhibition observed. ADPR competitively inhibits NADH oxidation with Ki values (25 degrees C, pH 8.0) of 26 microM, 30 microM, and 180 microM for SMP, purified Complex I and three-subunit NADH dehydrogenase (FP), respectively. ADPR decreases NADH-induced flavin reduction and prolongs the cyclic bleaching of FP during aerobic oxidation of NADH. Ki for inhibition of the rotenone-sensitive NADH oxidase in SMP by ADPR does not depend on delta mu H+. The initial rate of the energy-dependent NAD+ reduction by succinate is insensitive to ADPR. The inhibitor increases the steady-state level of NAD+ reduction reached during aerobic succinate-supported reverse electron transfer catalyzed by tightly coupled SMP. The results obtained are consistent with the proposal on different nucleotide-binding sites operating in the direct and reverse reactions catalyzed by the mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase.

Effects of a herbicide formulation, Tordon 75D, and its individual components on the oxidative functions of mitochondria.

This investigation evaluates the toxicity of a herbicide formulation, as well as testing its active and other components (other components comprise all components of Tordon 75D excluding the active components: i.e. the solvents, triisopropanolamine and diethyleneglycol monoethyl ether, a silicone defoamer and a proprietary surfactant, polyglycol 26-2). The results showed that Tordon 75D (a mixture of the triisopropanolamine salts of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) and its other components) impaired the oxidative functions of submitochondrial particles (SMPs). The effective concentrations that caused 50% inhibition of SMP activity (EC50s) for Tordon 75D were in the low micromolar range for 2,4-D and picloram in the presence of the other components, while in the absence of the other components exposure to 136 times higher concentrations of the triisopropanolamine forms of 2,4-D and picloram administered as a mixture were required to inhibit the oxidative functions of SMPs. Tordon 75D also significantly decreased the respiratory control ratio of intact rat liver mitochondria. The results show that the toxic effects of Tordon 75D on SMPs (at the EC50) and intact rat liver mitochondria were not due to any additive or synergistic actions of a mixture of its active and other components, but rather were caused solely by the proprietary surfactant. Since mitochondria are responsible for over 90% of the energy production in all eukaryotic organisms, the use of the SMP assay provides a convenient in vitro assay for evaluating cellular toxicity and can be regarded as an informative screening assay when designing chemical products which contain mixtures of chemicals.

Kinetics of transhydrogenase reaction catalyzed by the mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) imply more than one catalytic nucleotide-binding sites.

The steady-state kinetics of the transhydrogenase reaction (the reduction of acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide (APAD+) by NADH, DD transhydrogenase) catalyzed by bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP), purified Complex I, and by the soluble three-subunit NADH dehydrogenase (FP) were studied to assess a number of the Complex I-associated nucleotide-binding sites. Under the conditions where the proton-pumping transhydrogenase (EC 1.6.1.1) was not operating, the DD transhydrogenase activities of SMP and Complex I exhibited complex kinetic pattern: the double reciprocal plots of the velocities were not linear when the substrate concentrations were varied in a wide range. No binary complex (ping-pong) mechanism (as expected for a single substrate-binding site enzyme) was operating within any range of the variable substrates. ADP-ribose, a competitive inhibitor of NADH oxidase, was shown to compete more effectively with NADH (Ki = 40 microM) than with APAD+ (Ki = 150 microM) in the transhydrogenase reaction. FMN redox cycling-dependent, FP catalyzed DD transhydrogenase reaction was shown to proceed through a ternary complex mechanism. The results suggest that Complex I and the simplest catalytically competent fragment derived therefrom (FP) possess more than one nucleotide-binding sites operating in the transhydrogenase reaction.

Lipid protein interactions in mitochondria. VII. A comparison of the effects of lipid removal and lipid perturbation of the kinetic properties of mitochondrial ATPase.

We investigated the kinetics of mitochondrial ATPase in bovine heart mitochondria and submitochondrial particles upon treatment with phospholipase A2, or upon addition of n-butanol to perturb the lipid protein interactions. The changes observed are the following: (1) Lipid removal or perturbation with butanol is accompanied by loss of ATPase activity with decrease of both V and of the KM for ATP. (2) There are changes of activation energy of ATPase activity at temperatures above the discontinuity normally observed for membrane-bound enzymes in mitochondria. In particular, butanol abolishes the discontinuity, and induces a constant activation energy of about 32 kcal/mol in the range 8--37 degrees C. (3) Butanol modifies the pH dependence of ATPase shifting the pH optimum from around 10 to less alkaline values. The optimum for Mg2+ concentrations is increased by the solvent. (4) Treatment with phospholipase A2 results in a removal of oligomycin-sensitive ATPase, whereas butanol addition prevents oligomycin inhibition of ATPase. (5) In beef heart mitochondria, a spin-labelled analog of the inhibitor, dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, did not show any change in environment upon butanol addition, unlike that found in mitochondria from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Binding properties of an intrinsic ATPase inhibitor and occurrence in yeast mitochondria of a protein factor which stabilizes and facilitates the binding of the inhibitor to F1F0-ATPase.

The content of an intrinsic ATPase inhibitor in mitochondria was determined by a radioimmunoassay procedure which showed the molar ratio of the inhibitor to ATPase to be 1:1. The ratio in submitochondrial particles, where half of the enzyme was activated, was the same as that of mitochondria, indicating that the inhibitor protein has affinity for the mitochondrial membrane as well as for F1-ATPase. The inhibitor protein could be removed from the mitochondrial membrane by incubation with 0.5 M Na2SO4 and concomitantly the enzyme was fully activated. The enzyme fully activated by the salt treatment was inactivated again by the externally added ATPase inhibitor in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. The enzyme-inhibitor complex (inactive) on the mitochondrial membrane was more stable than the solubilized enzyme-inhibitor complex but gradually dissociated in the absence of ATP and Mg2+. However, in mitochondria, the enzyme activity was inhibited even in the absence of the cofactors. A protein factor stabilizing the enzyme-inhibitor complex on the mitochondrial membrane was isolated from yeast mitochondria. This factor stabilized the inhibitor complex of membrane-bound ATPase while having no effect on that of purified F1-ATPase. It also efficiently facilitated the binding of the inhibitor to membrane-bound ATPase to form the complex, which reversibly dissociated at slightly alkaline pH.

Importance of loops of mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier for its transport activity deduced from reactivities of its cysteine residues with the sulfhydryl reagent eosin-5-maleimide.

The effects of various compounds such as the transport substrate ADP and the transport inhibitors carboxyatractyloside (CATR) and bongkrekic acid (BKA) on the labeling of cysteine residues in the ADP/ATP carrier of bovine heart submitochondrial particles by the SH reagent eosin-5-maleimide (EMA) were studied. Of the four cysteine residues in the carrier, the labeling of Cys159 by EMA progressed predominantly and rapidly, and those of Cys56 and Cys256 moderately, but Cys128 was not labeled, as we reported previously [Majima, E., et al. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 22181-22187]. ADP inhibited the labelings of Cys56, Cys159, and Cys256 by EMA. BKA markedly inhibited the labeling of Cys159 by EMA, and also the labeling of Cys256, but did not affect the labeling of Cys56, suggesting that it binds from the matrix side to a region close to Cys159 in the second loop facing the matrix space. CATR completely inhibited the labeling by EMA when added on the cytosolic side, but had no effect when added on the matrix side. From these results, the conformational changes of the carrier induced by CATR, BKA, and ADP are discussed. Furthermore, a mechanism of adenine nucleotide transport through the ADP/ATP carrier in association with change in its conformation is proposed.

[Two sites of ubisemiquinone binding in mitochondrial succinate oxidase].

The inhibiting effects of several phenol compounds on electron transfer in the respiratory chain of submitochondrial particles were studied. It was shown that the terminal part of the succinate dehydrogenase complex contains a site, which specifically binds the negatively charged phenols (e. g. pentachlorophenol, 2,4-dibromophenol, 2-methoxy-4,6-dibromophenol). The efficiency of the inhibitor anion binding by this site is increased 12-fold after introduction of a methoxy-group into the o-position of 2,4-dibromophenol. Since this site binds both methoxy- and negatively charged phenol groups, it can also act as a possible site of ubisemiquinone interaction with succinate dehydrogenase. Based on the structural similiarity of the b-c1 complex inhibitors, e. g. antimycin, o-hydroxybenzoic acid amides, 2-hydroxy-3-alkyl-1,4-quinones, and ubisemiquinone, an assumption has been made on possible ubisemiquinone binding between cytochromes b and c1. A structural analysis of phenols inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase and the b-c1 complex revealed that in the region between cytochromes b and c1 there act only the inhimitors which contain: a) a negatively charged phenol group; b) a group comprising a heteroatom with an undepleted electron pair and which can act as a ligand, and c) a hydrophobic residue.

The multiplicity and stoichiometry of the prosthetic groups in QH2: cytochrome c oxidoreductase as studied by EPR.

1. The EPR signal in the g = 2 region of the reduced QH2: cytochrome c oxidoreductase as present in submitochondrial particles and the isolated enzyme is an overlap of two signals in a 1 : 1 weighted ratio. Both signals are due to [2Fe-2S]+1 centers. 2. From the signal intensity it is computed that the concentration of each Fe-S center is half that of cytochrome c1. 3. The line shape of one of the Fe-S centers, defined as center 1, is reversibly dependent on the redox state of the b-c1 complex. The change of the line shape cannot be correlated with changes of the redox state of any of the cytochromes in QH2: cytochrome c oxidoreductase. 4. Lie the optical spectrum, the EPR spectrum of the cytochromes is composed of the absorption of at least three different b cytochromes and cytochrome c1. 5. The molar ratio of the prosthetic groups was found to be c1 : b-562 : b-566 : b-558 : center 1 : center 2 = 2 : 2 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1. The consequences of this stoichiometry are discussed in relation to the basic enzymic unit of QH2 : cytochrome c oxidoreductase.

Reactive oxygen species affect mitochondrial electron transport complex I activity through oxidative cardiolipin damage.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the activity of complex I and on the cardiolipin content in bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP). ROS were generated through the use of xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO) system. Treatment of SMP with X/XO resulted in a large production of superoxide anion, detected by acetylated cytochrome c method, which was blocked by superoxide dismutase (SOD). Exposure of SMP to ROS generation resulted in a marked loss of complex I activity and to parallel loss of mitochondrial cardiolipin content. Both these effects were completely abolished by SOD+catalase. Exogenous added cardiolipin was able to almost completely restore the ROS-induced loss of complex I activity. No restoration was obtained with other major phospholipid components of the mitochondrial membrane such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, nor with peroxidized cardiolipin. These results demonstrate that ROS affect the mitochondrial complex I activity via oxidative damage of cardiolipin which is required for the functioning of this multisubunit enzyme complex. These results may prove useful in probing molecular mechanisms of ROS-induced peroxidative damage to mitochondria, which have been proposed to contribute to those pathophysiological conditions characterized by an increase in the basal production of reactive oxygen species such as aging, ischemia/reperfusion and chronic degenerative diseases.

[Inhibition of the transport of citrate during ADP-ribosylation of inner membrane proteins of the mitochondria].

The ability of rat liver submitochondrial particles to catalyze NAD+ hydrolysis with a transfer of ADP-ribose residues to protein membranes has been demonstrated ADP-ribosylation is directly dependent on NAD+ concentration upon saturation with 1 mM NAD+ and is inhibited by physiological compounds (e.g., ATP, 10 mM; nicotinamide, 10 mM); besides, it is an artificial acceptor of ADP-ribose, arginine methyl ester. It was found that ADP-ribose is accepted by inner mitochondrial membrane protein, whose molecular masses amount to 25-30 kDa. The fact that 5'-AMP is a product of ADP-ribose degradation by snake venom phosphodiesterase suggests that the inner membrane vesiculate proteins are modified by mono(ADP-ribose). Covalent modification of membrane proteins by ADP-ribose leads to citrate transport inhibition in inner membrane vesicles the [14C]citrate uptake is significantly decreased thereby. The ability of ADP-ribosylation inhibitors to restore the citrate transport rate is suggestive of a direct regulatory effect of NAD+-dependent ADP-ribosylation on the activity of citrate-translocating system of inner mitochondrial membranes.

Labeling of succinate-cytochrome c reductase with 125I. Accessibility of the peptides to the aqueous phases on the cytosolic and matrix sides of the mitochondrial membrane.

Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed radioiodination was used to study the arrangement of the component peptides of succinate-cytochrome c reductase with respect to the aqueous phases on each side of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mitochondria depleted of their outer membrane and inside-out vesicles purified from submitochondrial particles by the lectin-affinity procedure (D'Souza, M. P., and Lindsay, J. G. (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 640, 463-472) were iodinated using immobilized preparations of lactoperoxidase. The labeled membranes were solubilized in detergent and the succinate-cytochrome c reductase was purified by immunoprecipitation with specific IgG. Analysis of the radioiodine distribution after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and comparison with peptide stain patterns show that bands 2 (64 kilodaltons), 6 (30 kilodaltons), 9 (15 kilodaltons), and 11 (less than 10 kilodaltons) are labeled from the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane. Bands 1 (72 kilodaltons), 4 (48 kilodaltons), and 8 (20 kilodaltons) appear to be labeled on the matrix side of the membrane, while bands 3 (52 kilodaltons), 5 (35 kilodaltons), 7 (25 kilodaltons), and 10 (11 kilodaltons) are labeled from both sides of the membrane. Tentative identification of the labeled bands suggests that band 1 is the large subunit of succinate dehydrogenase. Bands 3 and 4 represent proteins which have been referred to as core proteins I and II. Bands 5 and 6 are the proteins associated with cytochromes b and c1, respectively; band 7 is the Rieske iron-sulfur protein.
