It has been reported that the mitochondrial cytochromes and citrate cycle enzymes occur in constant proportions to each other and increase or decrease roughly in parallel in response to various stimuli. The purpose of this study was to determine whether this proportionality is an obligatory consequence of the way in which mitochondria are assembled. Severe iron deficiency was used to bring about decreases of the iron-containing constituents of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in skeletal muscle. Cytochrome c concentration and cytochrome oxidase activity were decreased approximately 50%, while succinate dehydrogenase and NADH dehydrogenase activities were decreased by 78% in iron-deficient muscle. On electron microscopic examination, mitochondria in iron-deficient muscles had relatively sparse numbers of cristae. The iron deficiency had little or no effect on the levels of a range of mitochondrial matrix enzymes, including citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, fumarase, aspartate aminotransferase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase, and acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase. These results show that the usual constant proportions between the constituents of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and matrix enzymes are not obligatory; they provide evidence that mitochondrial matrix enzymes and respiratory chain constituents can be incorporated into mitochondria independently and that the ratios between them can vary within wide limits.

Interaction between the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase was detected with a variety of techniques including polyethylene glycol precipitation, ultracentrifugation, and centrifugal gel filtration on a Sepharose 6B column. The interaction was specific in that citrate synthase, cytosolic malate dehydrogenase, and NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase did not interact with alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. The interaction was not inhibited by either 0.1 M KCl or 0.4 M (NH4)2SO4, but was completely prevented by 5% glycerol. A new method for the preparation of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase resulted in an enzyme having a protein subunit composition similar to that of classical complex I preparation. Evidence is given for the existence of ternary complexes containing NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase-alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex-NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase and NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase-alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex-succinate thiokinase. These data suggest that a part of the citric acid cycle may be located in the vicinity of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase. These complexes may facilitate the transport of metabolites among these enzymes without their equilibrating with the whole compartment.

1. Increased specific activities of cytochrome c oxidase, catalase, succinate dehydrogenase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and malate dehydrogenase were observed during glucose de-repression of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. 2. The cell-cycle of this organism was analysed by three different methods: (a) harvesting of cells at intervals from a synchronous culture, (b) separation of cells by rate-zonal centrifugation into different size classes and (c) separation of cells by isopycnic-zonal centrifugation into different density classes. 3. Measurement of enzyme activities during the cell-cycle showed that all the enzymes assayed [cytochrome c oxidase, catalase, acid p-nitrophenylphosphatase, NADH-dehydrogenase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP) and fumarate hydratase] show periodic expression as ;peaks'. 4. Cytochrome c oxidase shows a single maximum at 0.67 of a cycle, whereas succinate dehydrogenase exhibits two maxima separated by 0.5 of a cell-cycle. 5. All other enzymes assayed showed two distinct maxima per cell-cycle; for catalase, malate dehydrogenase and NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase there is the possibility of multiple fluctuations. 6. The single maximum of cytochrome c oxidase appears at a similar time in the cycle to one maximum of each of the other enzymes studied, except for NADH dehydrogenase. 7. These results are discussed with reference to previous observations on the expression of enzyme activities during the cell-cycle of yeasts.

Spheroplast membranes (spheroplast envelopes) of strain 2091 of group B Neisseria meningitidis were prepared by a procedure that included lysozyme treatment of the cells and osmotic lysis of the resulting spheroplasts. Electron microscopy revealed that the membranes consisted of two unit layers, generally parallel to each other. The membrane preparation migrated as a single component in a 40 to 70% sucrose gradient and consisted of 62% protein, 28% lipid, 9% ribonucleic acid, small amounts of carbohydrate, hexosamine, and deoxyribonucleic acid. When 1 or 10 mug (dry weight) was injected intravenously into rabbits, a mild pyrogenic reaction was elicited. In immunodiffusion tests, immune rabbit serum prepared against spheroplast membranes produced three major precipitin lines, with the homologous antigen solubilized with sodium dodecyl sulfate, and a single line with untreated antigen. The immune serum also reacted with a cell wall antigen, and to a lesser extent with some of the cytoplasmic antigens. Succinate dehydrogenase and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase activities were found to be associated with the spheroplast membranes. NADH dehydrogenase also was associated with the membranes but was gradually released and recovered in other fractions. Glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate, glucose-6-phosphate, and isocitrate dehydrogenase activities were not found in the membrane preparation. About one-third of these enzymatic activities were recovered in the supernatant fluid after the sedimentation of the spheroplasts and two-thirds were recovered in the cytoplasmic fraction. N-acetylneuraminic acid (NAN)-condensing enzyme and cytidine monophosphate-NAN synthesizing enzyme also were identified in this organism. These enzymes were not associated with the membranes and were recovered from extracts from whole cells, spheroplasts, or cells exposed to osmotic shock, as well as from spheroplast supernatant and shock fluids. It is concluded that the spheroplast membranes of the strain of meningococci used in these studies are typical of those recovered from gram-negative bacteria.

NADH:ubiquinone reductase (complex I) of the mitochondrial inner membrane respiratory chain binds a number of mitochondrial matrix NAD-linked dehydrogenases. These include pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase, and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. No binding was detected between complex I and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, NAD-isocitrate dehydrogenase, lipoamide dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, or fumarase. The dehydrogenases that bound to complex I did not bind to a preparation of complex II and III, nor did they bind to liposomes. The binding of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase to complex I is a saturable process. Based upon the amount of binding observed in these in vitro studies, there is enough inner membrane present in the mitochondria to bind the dehydrogenases in the matrix space. The possible metabolic significance of these interactions is discussed.

The energy metabolism of the English E-CMO strain of contagious equine metritis bacterium was studied in whole cells and cell extracts. This bacterium appears to have an active Krebs cycle and probably obtains energy by oxidative phosphorylation since glycolysis and the hexose monophosphate pathways appear to be absent. These conclusions are based on the findings that [U-14C]glucose incorporation by this bacterium is below the level of detection, and that respiration is stimulated by Krebs cycle intermediates (i.e., malate, citrate, and succinate), but not by glucose, fructose, maltose, or sucrose. Furthermore, support comes from the fact that enzymes generally associated with the Krebs cycle and electron transport (i.e., malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, fumarate hydratase, malate dehydrogenase [decarboxylating], cytochrome oxidase, superoxide dismutase, NADH dehydrogenase, and catalase) were detected. Those enzymes normally associated with glycolysis and the hexose monophosphate pathways (i.e., hexokinase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, fructose biphosphate aldolase, glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, pyruvate kinase, phosphate acetyl transferase, acetate kinase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and lactate dehydrogenase) were below the level of detection.

Oxidative stress is associated with the formation of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in the cells, which can form mixed disulfide with proteins leading to alteration of their function. The present study looks at the effect of in vitro exposure of GSSG on intestinal mitochondria and brush border membrane (BBM). Incubation with 1 mM GSSG increased the protein bound GSH in mitochondria by 15-fold. This was associated with loss of activity of certain mitochondrial enzymes such as succinic dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, total ATPase and NADH dehydrogenase whereas NADH oxidase was not affected. A similar treatment of BBMV with GSSG increased the protein bound GSH by 4.7-fold without altering its enzyme activity. Exposure to GSSG had no effect on the Na(+)-dependent glucose transport by BBMV. These studies suggest that GSSG formed during oxidative stress may modify thiol groups in proteins by forming mixed disulfides leading to functional alteration of certain cellular proteins.

Mitochondria isolated from rabbit soleus (98% type I) and gracilis (99% type IIb) skeletal muscle were compared for compositional differences. Whole muscle mitochondrial contents were 14.5 +/- 1.2 mg/g of wet weight in soleus and 5.3 +/- 0.6 mg/g in the gracilis muscle, a 2.7-fold difference. Maximal pyruvate plus malate oxidase activity in gracilis mitochondria was roughly 75% of that in soleus mitochondria. In contrast, glycerol 3-phosphate (G-3-P) oxidation was 10-fold greater in gracilis mitochondria. Both soleus and gracilis mitochondria exhibited additive pyruvate and G-3-P oxidase activities. In general, citric acid cycle enzyme activities were higher in soleus mitochondria. A notable exception was isocitrate dehydrogenase, which was twofold higher in gracilis mitochondria. Substrate cytochrome c reductase activities indicated that the electron transport chain (ETC) of soleus mitochondria possess roughly twice the capacity for both NADH and succinate oxidation. Similarly, the maximal activities of NADH dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase were roughly twofold higher in soleus mitochondria. The findings demonstrate that mitochondria isolated from types I and IIb skeletal muscle differ substantially in composition. Furthermore, the relatively similar pyruvate plus malate oxidase activities in the face of markedly different ETC capacities suggest that the interaction between matrix dehydrogenases and the ETC may differ in mitochondria isolated from types I and IIb skeletal muscle.

Mitochondrial biogenesis was studied during differentiation of two immortalized cell lines (C2C12, 3T3) with enzyme measurements, Northern blots, and quantitative ultrastructure. Citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (nuclear encoded, mitochondrial matrix location) showed linear, four- to sixfold increases in enzymatic activity in C2C12 cells but increased exponentially in 3T3 cells. Cytochrome oxidase and NADH dehydrogenase (nuclear and mitochondrial encoded, cristae location) increased to a lesser extent and with a pattern dissimilar to the first group. Northern blots and activity of succinate dehydrogenase (cristae location but entirely nuclear encoded) suggested the groupings were based on location of the genes rather than the mature enzyme. However, quantitative electron microscopy and comparisons with adult tissue suggested that mitochondrial ultrastructure can influence the change in cristae enzymes. Cristae surface area per unit mitochondrial volume and per unit cell volume increased much less than did cristae enzymes. Available space on the inner membrane may become limiting and account for some aspects of the pattern of change in electron transport enzymes during differentiation.

The effect of alpha-tocopherol pretreatment (6 mg/100 g body wt/day, orally for a period of 90 days) on mitochondrial electron transport in myocardial infarction induced by isoproterenol (20 mg/100 g body wt, subcutaneously for two days) was studied in rats. A significant decrease was observed in the activities of isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase in heart mitochondria of isoproterenol administered rats. The cytochrome content and the oxidation of succinate in state 3 and state 4 decreased significantly in the cardiac mitochondria treatment. In alpha-tocopherol pretreated rats, the activities of TCA cycle enzymes, concentration of cytochromes and the oxidation of succinate in state 3 and state 4 were retained at near normal values, following isoproterenol administration.
