The temperature dependence of EPR spectra of oxidized [4Fe-4S](-1,-2) ferredoxins (previously designated HiPIP) and a reduced [4Fe-4S](-2,-3) ferredoxin have been analyzed so as to determine the energy of a low-lying excited electronic state. The values obtained were: Center S-3 from beef heart, 44 cm-1; Center S-3 from mung bean, 53 cm-1; the [4Fe-4S](-1,-2) ferredoxin from Thermus thermophilus, 78 cm-1; Center N-2 of NADH ubiquinone reductase, 83 cm-1. Increasing axial distortion in the EPR spectra of the [4Fe-4S](-1,-2), ferrodoxins was associated with higher energy differences. Center N-2, a [Fe-4S](-2,-3) iron-sulfur cluster does not fit this relationship.

The electron spin relaxation of iron-sulphur centres and ubisemiquinones of plant mitochondria was studied by microwave power saturation of the respective EPR signals. In the microwave power saturation technique, the experimental saturation data were fitted by a least-squares procedure to a saturation function which is characterized by the power for half-saturation (P1/2) and the inhomogeneity parameter (b). Since the theoretical saturation curves were based on a one-electron spin system, it became possible to differentiate between EPR signals of iron-sulphur centres which have similar g values but different P1/2 values. If the difference in the P1/2 values of the overlapped components was small, no significant deviation from these theoretical saturation curves was observed, as shown for the overlapped signals of centre S-3 and the Ruzicka centre of mung bean mitochondria. By contrast, the microwave power saturation data for the g = 1.93 signal (17--26 K) of Arum maculatum submitochondrial particles reduced by succinate could not be fitted using one-electron saturation curves. Reduction by NADH resulted in a stronger deviation. Since the iron-sulphur centres of Complex I were present only in an unusually low concentration in A. maculatum mitochondria, it was proposed that an iron-sulphur centre of the external NADH dehydrogenase contributes to the spectrum of centre S-1. For mung bean mitochondria, the g = 1.93 signal below 20 K could be attributed mainly to centre N-2. The microwave power saturation technique was also suitable for detecting magnetic interactions between paramagnetic centres. From the saturation data of the complex spectrum attributable to centre S-3 and an interacting ubisemiquinone pair in mung bean mitochondria (oxidized state) followed that centre S-3 has a faster electron spin relaxation than the ubisemiquinone molecules. It is noteworthy that the differences in the relaxation rates were maintained despite the interaction between centre S-3 and the ubisemiquinones. Furthermore, a relaxation enhancement was observed for centre S-1 of A. maculatum submitochondrial particles upon reduction of centre S-2 by dithionite. This indicated a magnetic interaction between centres S-1 and S-2.

Sera containing antimitochondrial antibodies (MTA) were tested for binding to intact mitochondria, sonic fragments (SMP), Complex I + III and to oligomycin sensitive ATPase (OS-ATPase) from bovine heart by indirect immunofluorescence. Antigens capable of binding to MTA were present in mitochondria and its fragments tested. Maximum binding was observed with SMP. It appears that one or more antigen binding sites are present on the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane or some location exterior to the inner membrane. Normal human serum or sera containing MTA did not effect the respiration of intact mitochondria or sonic particles. However, NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity of complex I + III was enhanced by 10-60% by sera containing MTA antibodies.

The enzyme system from Clostridium sticklandii catalyzing the NADH-dependent reduction of D-proline was co-purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose at pH 8.2 and ammonium sulfate fractionation, and resolved into fractions containing three different protein components, NADH dehydrogenase, D-proline reductase and a third protein factor, by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose at pH 7.0. Upon recombination of the fractions containing the three different protein components, the NADH-dependent reduction of D-proline was successfully reconstituted. The NADH dehydrogenase fractions oxidized NADH in the presence of artificial electron acceptors, and were inhibited by p-hydroxymercuriphenylsulfonate (50% at 80 nM). They contained 3--4 different enzyme bands as revealed by polyacrylamide-gel electropherograms stained with the NADH-dependent reduction of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride. D-Proline reduction was also coupled to a leuco-methylene blue-generating system containing D-glucose and glucose-oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4). Circumstantial evidence indicated that, among the clostridial proteins, only D-proline reductase and the third protein factor were needed for this reaction.

NAD+ had a biphasic effect on the NADH oxidase activity in electron transport particles from Mycobacterium phlei. The oxidase was inhibited competitively by NAD+ at concentrations above 0.05 mM. NAD+ in concentrations from 0.02 to 0.05 mM resulted in maximum stimulation of both NADH oxidation and oxygen uptake with concentrations of substrate both above and below the apparent K-M. Oxygen uptake and cyanide sensitivity indicated that the NAD+ stimulatory effect was linked to the terminal respiratory chain. The stimulatory effect was specific for NAD+. NAD+ was also specific in protecting the oxidase during heating at 50 degrees and against inactivation during storage at 0 degrees. NAD+ glycohydrolase did not affect stimulation nor heat protection of the NADH oxidase activity if the particles were previously preincubated with NAD+. Binding studies revealed that the particles bound approximately 3.6 pmol of [14C1NAD+ per mg of electron transport particle protein. Although bound NAD+ represented only a small fraction of the total added NAD+ necessary for maximal stimulation, removal of the apparently unbound NAD+ by Sephadex chromatography revealed that particles retained the stimulated state for at least 48 hours. Further addition of NAD+ to stimulated washed particles resulted in competitive inhibition of oxidase activity. Desensitization of the oxidase to the stimulatory effect of NAD+ was achieved by heating the particles at 50 degrees for 2 min without appreciable loss of enzymatic activity. Kinetic studies indicated that addition of NADH to electron transport particles prior to preincubation with NAD+ inhibited stimulation. In addition, NADH inhibited binding of [14C]NAD+. The utilization of artificial electron acceptors, which act as a shunt of the respiratory chain at or near the flavoprotein component, indicated that NAD+ acts as at the level of the NADH dehydrogenase at a site other than the catalytic one resulting in a conformational change which causes restoration as well as protection of oxidase activity.

1. Incubation of NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) with chymotrypsin caused loss of rotenone-sensitive ubiquinone-1 reduction and an increase in rotenone-insensitive ubiquinone reduction. 2. Within the same time-course, NADH-K(3)Fe(CN)(6) oxidoreductase activity was unaffected. 3. Mixing of chymotrypsin-treated Complex I with Complex III did not give rise to NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase activity. 4. Gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate revealed selective degradation of several constituent polypeptides by chymotrypsin. 5. With higher chymotrypsin concentrations and longer incubation times, a decrease in NADH-K(3)Fe(CN)(6) oxidoreductase was observed. The kinetics of this decrease correlated with solubilization of the low-molecular-weight type-II NADH dehydrogenase (subunit mol.wts. 53000 and 27000) and with degradation of a polypeptide of mol.wt. 30000. 6. Phospholipid-depleted Complex I was more rapidly degraded by chymotrypsin. Specifically, a subunit of mol.wt. 75000, resistant to chymotrypsin in untreated Complex I, was degraded in phospholipid-depleted Complex I. In addition, the 30000-mol.wt. polypeptide was also more rapidly digested, correlating with an increased rate of transformation to type II NADH dehydrogenase.

1. Whole cells of Methylomonas Pl1 contained ubiquinone, identified as ubiquinone-8. No naphthaquinone was detected. Ubiquinone was located predominantly in the particulate fraction, which also contained most of the NADH oxidase activity. 2. Aerobic incubation of cells with formaldehyde or methanol resulted in about 20% reduction of ubiquinone, irrespective of the presence or absence of dinitrophenol. On inhibition of the respiration by cyanide, ubiquinone became partly reduced by endogenous substrates (15--25%), and a further reduction occurred only in the presence of formaldehyde (up to 60%). When endogenous substrates were completely exhausted, then 44 and 23% of ubiquinone was reduced by formaldehyde or methanol respectively. 3. The difference spectra at room and liquid-N2 temperatures revealed the presence of cytochrome b and two cytochromes c (c-552.5 and c-549) all tightly bound to the membrane. Cytochrome c-552.5 was also found in the soluble fraction. 4. Redox changes of cytochromes b and c, with methanol or formaldehyde as substrates, respond to the aerobic and anaerobic states of the cell and to KCN inhibition in a manner characteristic of the electron carriers of the respiratory chain. 5. The merging point for electron transport from NADH dehydrogenase and formaldehyde dehydrogenase is suggested to be at the level of ubiquinone.

The actions of Dexon on the NADH-ferricyanide oxidoreductase and the NADPH oxidase system of electron transfer particles (ETP) from beef heart as well as on the NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase from brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces carlsbergensis Hansen) were investigated. The inhibition of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of ETP and that of the yeast enzyme correspond with respect to the following characteristics: 1) increase in the inhibition, 2) enhancement of the Dexon sensitivity by one order of magnitude after preincubation in the presence of NAD(P)H, 3) irreversibility of the inhibition, 4) no detectable changes in the spectral properties and in coenzyme activity of FMN after acid extraction from Dexon-treated enzyme. The inhibition of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of ETP is diminished by both NAD+ and FMN. However, no interaction of Dexon with NAD(P)H or FMN could be detected in the absence of enzyme or apoenzyme. The concentration of half-inhibition by Dexon for the yeast enzyme corresponds with its FMN concentration. It is proposed that both apoenzyme, NAD(P)H and FMN are involved in the interaction with Dexon. Possible mechanisms of binding are both complanar complexations of the ring systems and a triazene formation between FMNH2 and Dexon. The NADPH oxidase activity of the ETP is partly inhibited; the share inhibited by Dexon may represent the pathway via the transhydrogenase reaction.

The plasma membrane of the Ehrlich ascites tumor cell contains an NADH dehydrogenase. This activity was shown not to be due to contamination by other subcellular membranes. A variety of electron acceptors have been compared as to rate with the following result: ferricyanide greater than cytochrome c greater than cytochrome b5 greater than glyoxylate greater than dichlorophenolindophenol. Oxygen acceptance could not be detected. The optimum assay temperature and pH ranges were 30--40 degrees C and pH 6--8, respectively. With respect to either NADH or ferricyanide, the kinetics yielded linear double-reciprocal plots. Inhibition of the enzyme by sulfhydryl reagents could be blocked by excess NADH. Detergents such as Triton X-100 or cholate resulted in solubilization of the enzymatic activity, but phospholipase A2 did not. The activity differed from that of the mitochondria in that it was not inhibited by rotenone or antimycin A. The possible involvement of NADH oxidation in the energetics of plasma membrane transport is discussed.

Mouse fibroblasts resistant to the drug rutamycin were isolated and found also to be respiratory deficient. These cells produce large amounts of lactic acid, and oxygen consumption data indicate that the first complex of the electron transport chain, NADH-coenzyme Q reductase, is defective. Levels of rotenone-sensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase and pyruvate decarboxylase of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex are markedly depressed in the mutant cells. Other components of the electron transport chain appear to be fully functional. The mutant cells were enucleated and fused with another cell line, and the resulting cybrid demonstrated a similar pattern of respiratory deficiency as did the original mutant. These results indicate that this defect in respiration is a cytoplasmically inherited characteristic in this cell line.
