Cephalothin inhibits the activities of platelet enzymes, succinic dehydrogenase and NADH-cytochrome-c-reductase in patients with chronic renal failure. Two hours after Cephalothin administration the return of enzyme activities to baseline values was dependent on the severity of the chronic renal failure, and the higher the serum-creatinine concentration, the slower was the return to original enzyme activities.

Ability of mitochondria and submitochondrial particles (SMP) to generate a membrane potential on the addition of unpenetrating electron donors and acceptors and trimethylhydroquinone was used for specification of organization of the electron transfer chain. Ferri- and ferrocyanide added to mitochondria induce the membrane potential generation exchanging electrons only with cytochromes c or c1. Ferricyanide added to SMP induces the membrane potential taking electrons in three places: from NAD-H dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and in the presence of antimicyne A from cytochrome beta region. The difference of two sides of mitochondrial membrane is in agreement with the chemielectric hypothesis. According to this hypothesis protons from internal part of mitochondria are taken up to input H+-channel after electrons. That is why electrons come near the inner surface of the membrane and can be transferred from respiratory chain to water soluble acceptors. In output channels protons move under the action of intramembrane electrostatic field and in the direction of rising polarization of the medium. Protons are released to output channels while electrons are transferred to next carrier within the hydrophobic part of the membrane far from external surface of the membrane and cannot be transferred to water soluble acceptors.

To evaluate further the basis for the reduced activity of platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) found in chronic schizophrenic patients, a number of characteristics of the enzyme were compared between patients and controls. Equivalent and statistically significant reductions in activity of the enzyme were found in the patients when tyramine and benzylamine were used as the substrates in comparison to previously reported reductions with tryptamine as the substrate. Michaelis constants for platelet MAO from chronic schizophrenic patients with reduced enzyme activity were not different from controls. Dialysis of the enzyme from patients and controls yielded no changes in activity. Studies of other platelet enzymes, including succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome C reductase, and lactate dehydrogenase in patients, normal controls, and a subgroup of normal controls with reduced MAO activity, showed no parallel reductions in activity in patients or controls with low MAO activity. These findings suggest that the reduced MAO activity found in chronic schizophrenic patients is apparently not accounted for by nonspecific changes in platelets or platelet mitochondria.

The separation of inner and outer membrane of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides has been achieved by means of sucrose density gradient (20%, 40%, 60%, w/w) centrifugation. The upper fraction of the gradient, with a specific density 1.181 (g/cm3), is high in cytochrome and succinate dehydrogenase activities, low in lipopolysaccharides and it is designated the inner membrane fraction. The bottom fraction of the gradient, with a specific density 1.240, is high in lipopolysaccharide and contains neither cytochrome nor succinate dehydrogenase activities. This fraction is the cell wall or outer membrane fraction. The intermediate band on the gradient is an unseparated fraction of inner and outer membrane fragments. This fraction has a specific denisty of 1.211 and represents less than 3% of total crude envelope. Thin sections of the vesicles of the inner membrane fraction and those of outer membrane provide morphological evidence for the identity of the individual membrane fractions. At least 22 protein bands are resolved by employing sodium dodecyl sulfate slab gel electrophoresis. Six bands are present only in the inner membrane and two bands are found exclusively in the outer membrane. Most of the remaining polypeptides are present in greater amounts in the inner membrane relative to the outer membrane fractions.

Intact but fragile mitochondria were isolated from unsporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella. The mitochondria respired in response to succinate, malate plus pyruvate, and L-ascorbate at rates of 1.00, 0.40, and 0.25 mu1 O2/min/mg protein, respectively. Spectrophotometric analyses of the cytochromes in mitochondria and whole oocysts revealed b-type and o-type cytochromes, at roughly similar levels, but no cytochrome c could be detected. The mitochondrial respiration was inhibited by cyanide, azide, carbon monoxide, antimycin A, and 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide, but was relatively resistant to rotenone and amytal. The quinolone coccidiostats buquinolate, amquinate, methyl benzoquate, and decoquinate were identified as very powerful inhibitiors of succinate and malate plus pyruvate supported respiration in E. tenella mitochondria. None of these four drugs exhibited any inhibitory effect on chicken liver mitochondria. Only 3 pmol of the quinolones per mg mitochondrial protein was needed to achieve 50% inhibition. The inhibition could not be reversed by coenzymes Q6 or Q10. Since the quinolones did not affect L-ascorbate-supported respiration or the activities of submitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase and NADH dehydrogenase, the site of action of the quinolone coccidiostats was tentatively identified as probably near cytochrome b in E. tenella mitochondria. Mitochondria isolated from an E. tenella amquinate-resistant mutant were much less susceptible to quinolone coccidiostats; 50% inhibition was attained by 300 pmol of the drugs/mg mitochondrial protein. The results suggest that the mechanisms of action of quinolone coccidiostats is by inhibiting the cytochrome-mediated electron transport in the mitochondria of coccidia. 2-Hydroxynaphthoquinone coccidiostats were identified as inhibitors of mitochondrial respiration of both E. tenella and chicken liver. They inhibited submitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase and NADH dehydrogenase of E. tenella, and remained equally active against the mitochondrial function of E. tenella amquinolate-resistant mutant.

The inhibitory effect of cationic proteins from rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes on the oxidation of NADH by staphylococcal membrane preparations is described. Both cyanide and haematin are shown to interfere with the inhibitory process, by different mechanisms. Other authors have shown that glucose repressed staphylococci are diverted to a fermentative mode of metabolism. These findings were confirmed by demonstrating that membrane preparations from staphylococci grown in the presence of glucose have diminished cytochrome and succinic dehydrogenase levels. From a comparison of the effect of the cationic proteins on NADH oxidation in membrane preparations from organisms grown normally and under conditions of glucose repression, and from knowledge of the different susceptibility to the cationic proteins of the two types of organisms, it is suggested that the cationic proteins exert their bactericidal action on staphylococci following an energy dependent binding to the membrane.

Cytochrome-c-oxidase (complex IV) was histochemically studied in oncocytic adenoma (n = 10) and carcinoma of the thyroid gland (n = 3), cystadenolymphomas and oncocytic adenomas of the major salivary glands (n = 9), oncocytic neoplasia of the kidney (n = 1) and in 21 parathyroid glands with primary hyperparathyroidism and adenomatous proliferation (n = 17) and secondary hyperparathyroidism with hyperplasia (n = 4). Only in the parathyroids defects of cytochrome-c-oxidase were found being expressed in all 4 glands with hyperplasia (14 defects) and in 5 of the 17 adenomas (11 defects). All defects were confined to foci with oxyphil cell differentiation, the defect areas varying from 0.09 to 21.10 sq mm in hyperplastic glands and from 0.11 to 13.88 sq mm in adenomas, the size of the oxyphil foci varying from 0.12 sq mm-105.38 sq mm. However, not every oxyphil nodule of a gland was devoid of cytochrome-c-oxidase activity. Of 6 predominantly oxyphil adenomas, 4 showed no defects. No defects were observed either in 2 adenomas without oxyphil cells. Further enzymes of the respiratory chain, succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) and ATP synthetase, (complex V) were devoid of defects. In parathyroids with hyperplasia and oxyphil areas, defects of cytochrome-c-oxidase occurred significantly more often and tended to be larger than in adenomas, statistical analysis revealing a significant correlation between the occurrence of defects and the number of oxyphil foci but not with the total oxyphil area.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effect of lead on hepatic mitochondria and microsomes of chick embryo was studied with special attention to the role of lipid peroxidation in the manifestation of lead toxicity. Mitochondrial enzymes such as succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome C oxidase and ATPase were found to decrease in a dose dependent manner upon lead administration. Further, mitochondrial cytochromes, microsomal cytochrome P-450 and heme levels were reduced considerably with concomitant increase of mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxides. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to correlate the lead induced lipid peroxidation, the loss of mitochondrial and microsomal hemoproteins and the inhibition of mitochondrial enzymes in chick embryo.

Mitochondrial succinate-ubiquinone reductase is composed of two parts, a water-soluble succinate dehydrogenase and a two-polypeptide membrane-anchoring protein fraction (QPs). The larger polypeptide of QPs is believed to be associated with cytochrome b560 (QPs1). The structure of QPs1 was studied by immunochemistry and molecular cloning and sequencing. Antibodies against QPs1 were raised in rabbits, purified, and characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting. The purified antibodies inhibited 75% of the reconstitutive activity of QPs and reacted with both submitochondrial particles (SMP) and mitoplasts. The binding of these antibodies to SMP was greatly increased when succinate dehydrogenase was removed from SMP by alkaline treatment, indicating that QPs1 is a transmembranous protein and that some of its specific epitopes are covered by succinate dehydrogenase. Anti-QPs1 antibodies were used to screen one cDNA clone encoding QPs1 from a bovine heart cDNA lambda gt11 expression library. The cDNA insert is 946 base pairs with an open reading frame of 396 base pairs that encodes for 132 amino acid residues. The molecular weight of QPs1, calculated from the deduced amino acid sequence, is 14,320. Although the apparent molecular weight of QPs1, estimated by high resolution SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, is approximately 11,000, the existence of a presequence was ruled out by mass spectrometric analysis of protein fragments. QPs1 is a very hydrophobic protein. Three probable membrane-spanning segments were revealed by a hydropathy plot of the sequence. QPs1 has a higher sequence similarity to the sdhC peptide of Escherichia coli than to the sdhC peptide (cytochrome b558) of Bacillus subtilis. Like the bacterial proteins, QPs1 has 2 conserved histidines at positions 34 and 90. The conserved nature and similar location of these 2 histidines, on the matrix-side surface of the membrane, suggest that they are involved in heme ligation of cytochrome b560.

Myocardial hypoxia and reperfusion injury models were made on isolated rabbit hearts. Myocardial mitochondria were isolated. The activities of succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase as well as cytochrome contents were studied. Comparing with normal controls, no significant alteration in succinate dehydrogenase activity and cytochrome contents were observed in hypoxia group while cytochrome oxidase activity compensative increased. In reperfusion group, the activities of the two respiratory enzymes and the contents of cytochromes decreased significantly, suggesting that reperfusion injury resulted in severe damage in respiratory enzyme system of myocardial mitochondria.
