The protein complexes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) etioplasts, etio-chloroplasts and chloroplasts were examined using 2D Blue Native/SDS-PAGE. The most prominent protein complexes in etioplasts were the ATPase and the Clp and FtsH protease complexes which probably have a crucial role in the biogenesis of etioplasts and chloroplasts. Also the cytochrome b(6)f (Cyt b(6)f) complex was assembled in the etioplast membrane, as well as Rubisco, at least partially, in the stroma. These complexes are composed of proteins encoded by both the plastid and nuclear genomes, indicating that a functional cross-talk exists between pea etioplasts and the nucleus. In contrast, the proteins and protein complexes that bind chlorophyll, with the PetD subunit and the entire Cyt b(6)f complex as an exception, did not accumulate in etioplasts. Nevertheless, some PSII core components such as PsbE and the luminal oxygen-evolvong complex (OEC) proteins PsbO and PsbP accumulated efficiently in etioplasts. After 6 h de-etiolation, a complete PSII core complex appeared with 40% of the maximal photochemical efficiency, but a fully functional PSII was recorded only after 24 h illumination. Similarly, the core complex of PSI was assembled after 6 h illumination, whereas the PSI-light-harvesting complex I was stably assembled only in chloroplasts illuminated for 24 h. Moreover, a battery of proteins responsible for defense against oxidative stress accumulated particularly in etioplasts, including the stromal and thylakoidal forms of ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase and PsbS.

G93A SOD1 transgenic mice overexpressing CCS protein develop an accelerated disease course that is associated with enhanced mitochondrial pathology and increased mitochondrial localization of mutant SOD1. Because these results suggest an effect of mutant SOD1 on mitochondrial function, we assessed the enzymatic activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in the spinal cords of CCS/G93A SOD1 and control mice. CCS/G93A SOD1 mouse spinal cord demonstrates a 55% loss of complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) activity compared with spinal cord from age-matched non-transgenic or G93A SOD1 mice. In contrast, CCS/G93A SOD1 spinal cord shows no reduction in the activities of complex I, II, or III. Blue native gel analysis further demonstrates a marked reduction in the levels of complex IV but not of complex I, II, III, or V in spinal cords of CCS/G93A SOD1 mice compared with non-transgenic, G93A SOD1, or CCS/WT SOD1 controls. With SDS-PAGE analysis, spinal cords from CCS/G93A SOD1 mice showed significant decreases in the levels of two structural subunits of cytochrome c oxidase, COX1 and COX5b, relative to controls. In contrast, CCS/G93A SOD1 mouse spinal cord showed no reduction in levels of selected subunits from complexes I, II, III, or V. Heme A analyses of spinal cord further support the existence of cytochrome c oxidase deficiency in CCS/G93A SOD1 mice. Collectively, these results establish that CCS/G93A SOD1 mice manifest an isolated complex IV deficiency which may underlie a substantial part of mutant SOD1-induced mitochondrial cytopathy.

The role of insect saliva in the first contact between an insect and a plant is crucial during feeding. Some elicitors, particularly in insect regurgitants, have been identified as inducing plant defence reactions. Here, we focused on the salivary proteome of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae. Proteins were either directly in-solution digested or were separated by 2D SDS-PAGE before trypsin digestion. Resulting peptides were then identified by mass spectrometry coupled with database investigations. A homemade database was constituted of expressed sequence tags from the pea aphid Acyrtosiphon pisum and M. persicae. The databases were used to identify proteins related to M. persicae with a nonsequenced genome. This procedure enabled us to discover glucose oxidase, glucose dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase, alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase in M. persicae saliva. The presence of these enzymes is discussed in terms of plant-aphid interactions.

Mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the largest enzyme of the oxidative phosphorylation system, with subunits located at the matrix and membrane domains. In plants, holocomplex I is composed of more than 40 subunits, 9 of which are encoded by the mitochondrial genome (NAD subunits). In Nicotiana sylvestris, a minor 800-kDa subcomplex containing subunits of both domains and displaying NADH dehydrogenase activity is detectable. The NMS1 mutant lacking the membrane arm NAD4 subunit and the CMSII mutant lacking the peripheral NAD7 subunit are both devoid of the holoenzyme. In contrast to CMSII, the 800-kDa subcomplex is present in NMS1 mitochondria, indicating that it could represent an assembly intermediate lacking the distal part of the membrane arm. L-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (GLDH), the last enzyme in the plant ascorbate biosynthesis pathway, is associated with the 800-kDa subcomplex but not with the holocomplex. To investigate possible relationships between GLDH and complex I assembly, we characterized an Arabidopsis thaliana gldh insertion mutant. Homozygous gldh mutant plants were not viable in the absence of ascorbate supplementation. Analysis of crude membrane extracts by blue native and two-dimensional SDS-PAGE showed that complex I accumulation was strongly prevented in leaves and roots of Atgldh plants, whereas other respiratory complexes were found in normal amounts. Our results demonstrate the role of plant GLDH in both ascorbate biosynthesis and complex I accumulation.

Rearrangements of mitochondrial DNA in MSC16 mutant of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) affect mitochondrial functioning due to the alteration mainly of Complex I resulting in several metabolic changes. One-dimensional Blue-Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) and densitometric measurements showed that the level and in-gel capacity of Complex I were lower in MSC16 leaf and root mitochondria as compared to wild-type (WT). The level and capacity of supercomplex I+III(2) were always lower in leaf but not in MSC16 root mitochondria. Two-dimensional BN/SDS-PAGE indicated that the band abundance for most of the subunits of Complex I was lower in MSC16 leaf and root mitochondria. Supercomplex I+III(2) level was only altered in MSC16 leaf mitochondria as measured after 2D BN/SDS-PAGE. No differences in the qualitative composition of the subunits of Complex I and supercomplex I+III(2) between MSC16 and WT mitochondria were observed. In MSC16 mitochondria Complex I impairment could be compensated to some extent by additional respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenases. A higher capacity and level of NDB-1 protein of external NADH dehydrogenase was observed in MSC16 leaf and root mitochondria as compared to WT. The level of COX II, mitochondrial-encoded subunit of Complex IV, was higher in MSC16 leaf and root mitochondria. However, the capacity of Complex IV was slightly higher only in MSC16 leaf mitochondria. The levels of complexes: III(2) and V and Complex V capacity did not differ in mitochondria between genotypes. An abundance of the subunits of respiratory complexes is one of the key factors determining not only their structure and functional stability but also a formation of the supercomplexes. We discuss here mitochondrial genome rearrangements in MSC16 mutant in a relation to assembly and/or stability (the lower level and capacity) of Complex I and supercomplex I+III(2).

Photosystem I (PSI) is severely damaged by chilling at 4 degrees C in low light, especially in the chilling sensitive plant cucumber. To investigate the early events in PSI photoinhibition, we examined structural changes in the level of pigment-protein complexes in cucumber leaves in comparison with pea leaves. The complexes were separated on a native green gel and an increase in the intensity of a band was observed only in light-chilled cucumber leaves. The 77 K fluorescence emission spectrum of this green band indicated that the band was mainly composed of PSI with light-harvesting complex I. Each lane was cut from the green gel and separated on a fully denaturing SDS-PAGE in the second dimension. The new green gel band observed after light-chilling in cucumber leaves lacked 19, 18, and 16.5 kDa polypeptides. These results suggest that light-chilling facilitates the release of three peripheral polypeptides as an early event of chilling stress in vivo, which results in the inactivation of PSI in intact cucumber leaves.

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is an entry point for electrons into the respiratory chain in many eukaryotes. It couples NADH oxidation and ubiquinone reduction to proton translocation across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Because complex I deficiencies occur in a wide range of neuromuscular diseases, including Parkinson's disease, there is a clear need for model eukaryotic systems to facilitate structural, functional and mutational studies. In the present study, we describe the purification and characterization of the complexes I from two yeast species, Pichia pastoris and Pichia angusta. They are obligate aerobes which grow to very high cell densities on simple medium, as yeast-like, spheroidal cells. Both Pichia enzymes catalyse inhibitor-sensitive NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreduction, display EPR spectra which match closely to those from other eukaryotic complexes I, and show patterns characteristic of complex I in SDS/PAGE analysis. Mass spectrometry was used to identify several canonical complex I subunits. Purified P. pastoris complex I has a particularly high specific activity, and incorporating it into liposomes demonstrates that NADH oxidation is coupled to the generation of a protonmotive force. Interestingly, the rate of NADH-induced superoxide production by the Pichia enzymes is more than twice as high as that of the Bos taurus enzyme. Our results both resolve previous disagreement about whether Pichia species encode complex I, furthering understanding of the evolution of complex I within dikarya, and they provide two new, robust and highly active model systems for study of the structure and catalytic mechanism of eukaryotic complexes I.

Two-dimensional blue native/SDS-PAGE is widely applied to investigate native protein-protein interactions, particularly those within membrane multi-protein complexes. MS has enabled the application of this approach at the proteome scale, typically by analysis of picked protein spots. Here, we investigated the potential of using LC-MS/MS as an alternative for SDS-PAGE in blue native (BN) analysis of protein complexes. By subjecting equal slices from BN gel lanes to label-free semi-quantitative LC-MS/MS, we determined an abundance profile for each protein across the BN gel, and used these profiles to identify potentially interacting proteins by protein correlation profiling. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by considering the oxidative phosphorylation complexes I-V in the native human embryonic kidney 293 mitochondrial fraction, showing that the method is capable of detecting both the fully assembled complexes as well as assembly/turnover intermediates of complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Using protein correlation profiling with a profile for subunits NDUFS2, 3, 7 and 8 we identified multiple proteins possibly involved in the biogenesis of complex I, including the recently implicated chaperone C6ORF66 and a novel candidate, C3ORF60.

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the entry enzyme of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. To obtain the structural information on inhibitor/quinone binding sites, we synthesized [3H]benzophenone-asimicin ([3H]BPA), a photoaffinity analogue of asimicin, which belongs to the acetogenin family known as the most potent complex I inhibitor. We found that [3H]BPA was photo-crosslinked to ND2, ND1 and ND5 subunits, by the three dimensional separation (blue-native/doubled SDS-PAGE) of [3H]BPA-treated bovine heart submitochondrial particles. The cross-linking was blocked by rotenone. This is the first finding that ND2 was photo-crosslinked with a potent complex I inhibitor, suggesting its involvement in the inhibitor/quinone-binding.

The NADH dehydrogenase complex (complex I) of the respiratory chain has unique features in plants. It is the main entrance site for electrons into the respiratory electron transfer chain, has a role in maintaining the redox balance of the entire plant cell and additionally comprises enzymatic side activities essential for other metabolic pathways. Here, we present a proteomic investigation to elucidate its internal structure. Arabidopsis thaliana complex I was purified by a gentle biochemical procedure that includes a cytochrome c-mediated depletion of other respiratory protein complexes. To examine its internal subunit arrangement, isolated complex I was dissected into subcomplexes. Controlled disassembly of the holo complex (1000 kD) by low-concentration SDS treatment produced 10 subcomplexes of 550, 450, 370, 270, 240, 210, 160, 140, 140, and 85 kD. Systematic analyses of subunit composition by mass spectrometry gave insights into subunit arrangement within complex I. Overall, Arabidopsis complex I includes at least 49 subunits, 17 of which are unique to plants. Subunits form subcomplexes analogous to the known functional modules of complex I from heterotrophic eukaryotes (the so-called N-, Q-, and P-modules), but also additional modules, most notably an 85-kD domain including gamma-type carbonic anhydrases. Based on topological information for many of its subunits, we present a model of the internal architecture of plant complex I.
