The topography of the inner mitochondrial membrane was investigated using inhibitors of electron transport on preparations of beef heart mitochondria and electron transport particles of opposite orientation. Reductions of juglone, ferricyanide, indophenol, coenzyme Q, duroquinone, and cytochrome c by NADH are inhibited to different extents on both sides of the membrane by the impermeant hydrophilic chelators bathophenanthroline sulfonate and orthophenanthroline. The extent of inhibition for each acceptor increased in the order given. At least two chelator-sensitive sites are present on each membrane face between the flavoprotein and coenzyme Q and a chelator-sensitive site is present on the matrix face between the sites of coenzyme Q and duroquinone interaction. Duroquinol oxidation in mitochondria only is stimulated by bathophenanthroline sulfonate. Juglone reduction is stimulated in electron transport particles (only) by p-hydroxymercuribenzenesulfonate, but after mercurial treatment, juglone reduction in both particles and mitochondria is more sensitive to bathophenanthroline sulfonate. Succinate dehydrogenase components are inhibited by hydrophilic orthophenanthroline or bathophenanthroline sulfonate in mitochondria only. Electron flow between the dehydrogenases of succinate and NADH occurs via a chelator-sensitive site located on the matrix face of the membrane. Inter-complex electron flow is prevented by rotenone or thenoyltrifluoroacetone. The lack of succinate-indophenol reductase inhibition by bathophenanthroline sulfonate in the presence of rotenone or thenoyltrifluoroacetone indicates that the rotenone-sensitive site may be located on the matrix face and demonstrates that electrons flow between the NADH and succinate dehydrogenases via a hydrophilic chelator and rotenone-thenoyltrifluoroacetone-sensitive site on the matrix face of the membrane. Inhibiton by hydrophilic chelators only in mitochondria indicates that succinate dehydrogenase as well as NADH dehydrogenase has a transmembranous orientation.

We have recently described a Chinese hamster cell line with a greatly reduced rate of respiration. In this report we conclude that the defects is in NADH-coenzyme Q reductase (NADH oxidase), the first part of the electron transport chain. The conclusion is based on the following observations. (a) In this and in the earlier report we determined that the relevant enzymes of the Krebs cycle are present and active. (b) Oxygen consumption by isolated mitochondria is normal when driven by succinate and alpha-glycerolphosphate. (c) Difference spectra between reduced and oxidized forms indicate that all cytochromes are present and functional. (d) In contrast, substrates such as malate, glutamate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and isocitrate which generate NADH do not stimulate oxygen consumption in mutant mitochondria. (e) A direct assay of the rotenone-sensitive NADH oxidase in Lubrol-treated mitochondria from mutant cells revealed less than one-tenth of the activity when compared with wild type mitochondria. (f) The treatment of wild type cells with rotenone, a specific inhibitor of NADH-CoQ reductase, yielded an exact phenocopy of the mutant by several criteria. This is the first report of a respiration-deficient mammalian cell mutant in tissue culture.

1. Several ring-substituted derivatives of diphenyleneiodonium catalyse the exchange of Cl- and OH- ions across the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria. They also inhibit state 3 and state 3u oxidations of glutamate plus malate in the presence of Cl- more than in its absence. Most have activities similar to diphenyleneiodonium, although 2,4-dichlorodiphenyleneiodonium is up to 50 times more active. 2. Diphenyleneiodonium inhibits soluble rat liver NADH dehydrogenase and NADH oxidation by rat liver sub-mitochondrial particles directly; 2,4-dichlorodiphenyleneiodonium is only about twice as inhibitory. 3. Liver mitochondria contain two classes of binding sites for diphenylene[125I]iodonium, namely high-affinity sites with an affinity constant of 3 X 10(5) M-1 (1--2 nmol/mg of protein), and low-affinity sites with an affinity constant of 1.3 X 10(3) M-1 (80 nmol/mg of protein). Both sites occur in hepatocytes with a relative enrichment of the low-affinity site. Nadh dehydrogenase preparations only apparently contain high-affinity binding sites. Only low-affinity sites occur in erythrocytes. 4. 2,4-Dichlorodiphenyleneiodonium competes with diphenylene[125I]iodonium for both low- and high-affinity sites, whereas tri-n-propyltin only competes for the low-affinity sites. 5. The high-affinity sites are apparently associated with NADH dehydrogenase and the low-affinity sites probably represent electrostatic binding of diphenylene[125I]iodonium to phospholipids. The high-affinity site does not appear to be associated with a rate-limiting stage of NADH oxidation.

The ethanol-extracted respiratory chain-linked NADH dehydrogenase of Acholeplasma laidlawii has been purified 25-35-fold. This purification involved delipidation of the ethanol-extracted minute non-sedimentable membrane fragments by detergent treatment and gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-200. Sodium deoxycholate-sucrose density gradient centrifugation was followed by dialysis of the active NADH dehydrogenase fractions which caused flocculation of 60% of the membrane proteins while the NADH dehydrogenase remained suspended. Poylacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified NADH dehydrogenase gave one major and two minor bands after staining with Coomassie Blue. The purified enzyme gave straight line kinetics in Lineweaver-Burk plots and a Km = 0.510 mM and V = 0.236 mumol/min. Fatty acid supplementation of A. laidlawii membranes had negligible effect on the membrane-bound or ethanol-extracted dehydrogenase, but substantiated the values of the Km and V. Purification, however, altered the constants by 2-4-fold, suggesting that alteration of the microenvironment or fragmentation of the dehydrogenase was significant. The purified dehydrogenase was very susceptible to a rapid inhibition was much slower (90 min) and less complete. Consideration of published purification procedures of NADH dehydrogenase strongly suggested that the purified A. laidlawii respiratory chian-linked NADH dehydrogenase was over 90% pure and certainly one of the most purified respiratory chain-linked bacterial NADH dehydrogenases.

An Escherichia coli mutant (tolI) previously shown to be tolerant to colicins Ia and Ib is defective in several functions of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. When compared with its parental strain, X36, whole cells of tolI show reduced rates of respiration with succinate, malate, or lactate as the substrate but near-normal rates with glucose or glycerol. Cell membrane preparations prepared from tolI cells exhibit reduced succinate and D-lactate oxidase activity but elevated levels of reduced-form nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase. tolI cells have reduced levels of succinate and D-lactate dehydrogenase but normal levels of NADH dehydrogenase. Glycerol-grown tolI cells and membrane vesicles prepared from such cells are defective in the active transport of several amino acids and thiomethyl-beta-D-galactoside; however, they accumulate higher levels of alpha-methylglucoside when compared with X36 whole cells or vesicles. Although tolI cells adsorb less colicin Ia at high colicin concentrations than do X36 cells, it is shown that the adsorption of an Ia molecule to tolI cells has a lower probability of eliciting cell death than does Ia adsorption to strain X36 cells. It is concluded that a single mutation can lead to an alteration in several aspects of cytoplasmic membrane function and colicin I sensitivity.

In isolated plant mitochondria the oxidation of both succinate and exogenous NADH responded in the expected manner to the addition of ADP or uncoupling agents, and the uncoupled rate of respiration was often in excess of the rate obtained in the presence of ADP. However, the oxidation of NAD+-linked substrates responded in a much more complex manner to the addition of ADP or uncoupling agents such as carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone to mitochondria oxidizing pyruvate plus malate failed to result in a reliable stimulation; this uncoupled rate could be stimulated by adding AMP or ADP in the presence of oligomycin or bongkrekic acid. Spectrophometric measurements showed that the addition of AMP or ADP resulted in the simultaneous oxidation of endogenous nicotinamide nucleotide and the reduction of cytochrome b. ADP was only effective in bringing about these changes in redox state in the presence of Mg2+ whereas AMP did not require Mg2+. It was concluded that AMP activated the flow of electrons from endogenous nicotinamide nucleotide to cytochrome b, possible at the level of the internal NADH dehydrogenase.

Triamcinoline acetonide (10 mg per kg of body weight a day) was administered to rabbit fed on a laboratory chow diet. The content of flavins in liver but not in kidney, muscle and brain started to decrease 24 h after a single dose. The activities of enzymes in the liver were determined: the activities of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, lipoamide dehydrogenase (NADH:lipoamide oxidoreductase EC 1.6.4.3), NADH dehydrogenase (NADH : (acceptor) oxidoreductase EC 1.6.99.3) and D-amino acid oxidase (D-amino acid: oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) EC 1.4.3.3) were decreased but those of succinate dehydrogenase (succinate : (acceptor) oxidoreductase EC 1.3.99.1) and xanthine oxidase (xanthine : oxygen oxidoreductase EC 1.2.3.2) remained unchanged. The activities of enzymes in the kidney, however, remained unchanged except the decrease in the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

The reduction of duroquinone (DQ) and 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-decyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DB) by NADH and ethanol was investigated in intact yeast mitochondria with good respiratory control ratios. In these mitochondria, exogenous NADH is oxidized by the NADH dehydrogenase localized on the outer surface of the inner membrane, whereas the NADH produced by ethanol oxidation in the mitochondrial matrix is oxidized by the NADH dehydrogenase localized on the inner surface of the inner membrane. The reduction of DQ by ethanol was inhibited 86% by myxothiazol; however, the reduction of DQ by NADH was inhibited 18% by myxothiazol, suggesting that protein-protein interactions between the internal (but not the external) NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase and ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase (the cytochrome bc1 complex) are involved in the reduction of DQ by NADH. The reduction of DQ and DB by NADH and ethanol was also investigated in mutants of yeast lacking cytochrome b, the iron-sulfur protein, and ubiquinone. The reduction of both quinone analogues by exogenous NADH was reduced to levels that were 10 to 20% of those observed in wild-type mitochondria; however, the rate of their reduction by ethanol in the mutants was equal to or greater than that observed in the wild-type mitochondria. Furthermore, the reduction of DQ in the cytochrome b and iron-sulfur protein lacking mitochondria was myxothiazol sensitive, suggesting that neither of these proteins is an essential binding site for myxothiazol. The mitochondria from the three mutants also contained significant amounts of antimycin- and myxothiazol-insensitive NADH:cytochrome c reductase activity, but had no detectable succinate:cytochrome c reductase activity. These results suggest that the mutants lacking a functional cytochrome bc1 complex have adapted to oxidize NADH.

Structural mitochondrial damage accompanies the cytotoxic effects of several drugs including tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Using various inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport we have investigated the mechanism of TNF-mediated cytotoxicity in L929 and WEHI 164 clone 13 mouse fibrosarcoma cells. Inhibitors with different sites of action modulated TNF cytotoxicity, however, with contrasting effects on final cell viability. Inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport at complex III (cytochrome c reductase) by antimycin A resulted in a marked potentiation of TNF-mediated injury. In contrast, when the electron flow to ubiquinone was blocked, either at complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) with amytal or at complex II (succinate-ubiquinone reductase) with thenoyltrifluoroacetone, cells were markedly protected against TNF cytotoxicity. Neither uncouplers nor inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation nor complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) inhibitors significantly interfered with TNF-mediated effects, ruling out the involvement of energy-coupled phenomena. In addition, the toxic effects of TNF were counteracted by the addition of antioxidants and iron chelators. Furthermore, we analyzed the direct effect of TNF on mitochondrial morphology and functions. Treatment of L929 cells with TNF led to an early degeneration of the mitochondrial ultrastructure without any pronounced damage of other cellular organelles. Analysis of the mitochondrial electron flow revealed that TNF treatment led to a rapid inhibition of the mitochondria to oxidize succinate and NADH-linked substrates. The inhibition of electron transport was dose-dependent and became readily detectable 60 min after the start of TNF treatment, thus preceding the onset of cell death by at least 3-6 h. In contrast, only minor effects were observed on complex IV activity. The different effects observed with the mitochondrial respiratory chain inhibitors provide suggestive evidence that mitochondrial production of oxygen radicals mainly generated at the ubisemiquinone site is a causal mechanism of TNF cytotoxicity. This conclusion is further supported by the protective effect of antioxidants as well as the selective pattern of damage of mitochondrial chain components and characteristic alterations of the mitochondrial ultrastructure.

The antineoplastic benzanthroquinone drug doxorubicin can undergo flavoenzyme-catalyzed one-electron reduction which, in an aerobic environment, leads to the generation of oxygen-derived species. We therefore sought to determine whether doxorubicin in the presence of NADH dehydrogenase and the transition metal ions Fe(III) or Cu(II) induces DNA base modifications in isolated human chromatin. NADH dehydrogenase-catalyzed reduction of doxorubicin (25-100 microM) caused hydroxyl radical production detected as methane generated from dimethyl sulfoxide; addition of isolated human chromatin to the system produced a concentration-dependent quenching of detectable hydroxyl radical formation. Doxorubicin (5-50 microM)-stimulated enzyme-catalyzed oxidation of NADH was also diminished, but still detectable, in the presence of chromatin. Doxorubicin-induced DNA base modifications in chromatin were measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring. Production of modified bases required the addition of transition metal ion and was enhanced by the addition of active flavoenzyme. The non-redox cycling analogue 5-iminodaunorubicin induced significantly less base modification than did doxorubicin. In the presence of Fe(III), NADH dehydrogenase-catalyzed reduction of doxorubicin caused enhancement in the content of all modified bases over control levels. Substitution of Cu(II) for Fe(III) altered both the degree and the pattern of doxorubicin/NADH dehydrogenase-induced base modifications. The scavengers of hydroxyl radical mannitol and dimethyl sulfoxide or catalase did not significantly affect doxorubicin/NADH/NADH dehydrogenase/transition metal ion-induced base modifications. Superoxide dismutase further enhanced production of all base modifications. The data demonstrate that flavoenzyme-catalyzed redox cycling of doxorubicin generates typical hydroxyl radical-induced base modifications in the DNA of isolated human chromatin, suggesting a possible mechanism for the mutagenicity of doxorubicin in vivo.
