Highly active succinate-ubiquinone reductase has been purified from cytoplasmic membranes of aerobically grown Paracoccus denitrificans. The purified enzyme has a specific activity of 100 units per mg protein, and a turnover number of 305 s-1. Succinate-ubiquinone reductase activity of the purified enzyme is inhibited by 3'-methylcarboxin and thenoyltrifluoroacetone. Four subunits, with apparent molecular masses of 64.9, 28.9, 13.4 and 12.5 kDa, were observed on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme contains 5.62 nmol covalently bound flavin and 3.79 nmol cytochrome b per mg protein. The 64.9 kDa subunit was shown to be a flavoprotein by its fluorescence. Polyclonal antibodies raised against this protein cross-reacted with the flavoprotein subunit of bovine heart mitochondrial succinate-ubiquinone reductase. The 28.9 kDa subunit is likely analogous to the bovine heart iron protein, and the cytochrome b heme is probably associated with one or both of the low-molecular-weight polypeptides. The cytochrome b is not reducible with succinate but is reoxidized with fumarate after prereduction with dithionite. Iron-sulfur clusters S-1 and S-3 of the Paracoccus oxidoreductase exhibit EPR spectra very similar to their mitochondrial counterparts. Paracoccus succinate-ubiquinone reductase complex is thus similar to the bovine heart mitochondrial enzyme with respect to prosthetic groups, enzymatic activity, inhibitor sensitivities, and polypeptide subunit composition.

Cardiac mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase (Cytochrome c reductase, EC1.6.99.3) catalyses the reduction of ferricytochrome c to ferrocytochrome c by NADH. In the presence of the anthracycline anti-tumour drug, adriamycin, electron transfer from NADH is subverted to dioxygen. Using the electron spin resonance technique of spin trapping with the spin trapping agent 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) adriamycin was found to stimulate the formation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals in the NADH/NADH dehydrogenase reaction. Hydroxyl radical formation is dependent on the availability of trace amounts of redox active metal ions - particularly ferric ions. Trace amounts of ferric ions catalyse the formation of hydroxyl radicals by both superoxide-dependent and adriamycin-dependent one electron reduction of hydrogen peroxide. The metabolism of adriamycin by cardiac mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase may be an important etiological factor in adriamycin-induced cardiotoxicity. It may be therapeutically beneficial to keep nonessential ferric/ferrous ions in the myocardium at minimum levels with siderophoric iron chelators - providing the anti-tumour activity of adriamycin is not impaired.

Complex I (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-ubiquinone reductase) is a complex enzyme system located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It has the ability to catalyze several different enzymatic reactions in electron transport, and is known to be one of the respiratory chain components most sensitive to ischaemia. Mitochondria and two complexes I (complex IA and complex IB) were isolated from normal and ischaemic myocardial tissue. Enzymatic activities, polypeptide composition, as well as other components such as non-haem iron, acid-labile sulphur and ubiquinone, were determined. The results indicated that complex IB reflected the enzymatic changes in the mitochondria during myocardial ischaemia, but complex IA did not. The lesion that resulted from ischaemia was localised as altered enzymatic activities due to a different polypeptide composition, as well as loss of ubiquinone and non-haem iron from complex IB.

The thermodynamic and EPR characteristics of the iron-sulfur clusters of NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase have been examined in various subfractions and subunits of the enzyme. These were obtained by fragmentation of the enzyme with chaotropic agents and detergent and salt fractionation. We provide evidence for the presence of three tetranuclear clusters and five or six binuclear clusters, accounting well for the chemically determined iron content of this enzyme (22-24 atoms/molecule of FMN). Some of the clusters can be identified with EPR-detectable species in intact NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase and, by combining information on subunit topography and spin-spin interactions between redox centers in the native enzyme, we propose a tentative scheme for the spatial organization of these iron-sulfur clusters in the enzyme and in the membrane.

Succinate dehydrogenase is a conserved membrane-bound enzyme consisting of two nonidentical subunits: a flavo iron-sulfur protein (Fp) subunit, containing a covalently bound flavin, and an iron-sulfur protein (Ip) subunit. Bacillus subtilis succinate dehydrogenase in wild type bacteria and 12 well characterized succinate dehydrogenase-defective mutants were examined by low temperature EPR spectroscopy to characterize the enzyme and study subunit location and biosynthesis of its iron-sulfur clusters. The wild type B. subtilis enzyme contains iron-sulfur clusters which are analogous to clusters S-1 and S-3 of bovine heart succinate dehydrogenase but with slightly different EPR characteristics. Spins from cluster S-2 were not detectable as in the case of the intact form of bovine heart succinate dehydrogenase. However, dithionite reduction of the B. subtilis enzyme greatly enhanced spin relaxation of the ferredoxin-type cluster S-1, indicating the presence of the cluster S-2. Iron-sulfur cluster S-1 was found to be assembled in soluble succinate dehydrogenase subunits in the cytoplasm, but only if full-length Fp polypeptides and relatively large fragments of Ip polypeptides were present. Cluster S-1 was not detected in mutants with soluble mutated Fp polypeptides or in a mutant totally lacking Ip subunit polypeptide. Iron-sulfur clusters S-1, S-2, and S-3 were assembled also when the covalently bound flavin in the Fp subunit was absent. Clusters S-1 and S-3 in the membrane-bound flavin-deficient succinate dehydrogenase were not reduced by succinate but could be reduced by electron transfer from NADH dehydrogenase via the menaquinone pool.

Fe(III) complex of an antitumoral antibiotic carminomycin has been studied. Using potentiometric and spectroscopic measurements we have shown that carminomycin forms with Fe(III) a well-defined species in which three molecules of drug are chelated to one Fe(III) ion. This occurs with the release of one proton per molecule of drug. Magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest that six oxygen atoms are bound to iron. The stability constant is 3 X 10(34). The in vitro inhibition of P 388 leukemia cell growth by this complex compares with that of the free drug. This complex, unlike the free drug, does not catalyze the flow of electrons from NADH to molecular oxygen through NADH dehydrogenase.

Results of comparative studies on stimulation of the rates of cofactor consumption, superoxide generation and hydrogen peroxide production by mitoxantrone (Novantrone; dihydroxyanthracenedione; MXN), ametantrone (AM), doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DNR) in the presence of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, NADH dehydrogenase, or rabbit hepatic microsomes have been reported. MXN and AM were substantially less effective in stimulating the rate of cofactor oxidation, superoxide formation or hydrogen peroxide production relative to the anthracyclines. In the presence of P-450 reductase, the rate of NADPH oxidation or superoxide generation produced by 100 microM MXN or AM was only 15% and 2% respectively of that produced by 100 microM anthracycline. The effects of MXN and AM on lipid peroxidation in hepatic microsomes, cardiac sarcosomes and cardiac mitochondria were determined and compared with those produced by ADM. MXN and AM at 50 microM inhibited the basal rate of NADPH-dependent rabbit liver microsomal lipid peroxidation by 50%; in contrast, DOX enhanced the rate of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation by 2- and 2.5-fold at 100 and 200 microM, respectively. Rabbit cardiac sarcosomal NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation was inhibited completely at 100 microM anthracenedione. NADH-dependent lipid peroxidation in cardiac mitochondria was diminished by 50 microM MXN and AM, whereas 50 microM DOX produced a 2-fold stimulation in lipid peroxidation. The anthracenediones also effectively inhibited DOX-stimulated lipid peroxidation with 50% inhibition occurring at 4 microM (MXN) and 6 microM (AM). Moreover, both MXN and AM potently inhibited iron (100 microM)-stimulated lipid peroxidation in rabbit hepatic microsomes with 80% inhibition produced by 15 microM anthracenedione.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

This study investigated the effect of doxorubicin-related oxygen radical formation on Ca2+ uptake by rat heart sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. Enzymatic activation of doxorubicin by cardiac NADH dehydrogenase produced a dose-related inhibition of Ca2+ uptake that was enzyme- and cofactor-dependent and that was inhibited by catalase, various hydroxyl radical scavengers, and the iron chelator deferoxamine. Furthermore, inhibition of Ca2+ uptake paralleled the production of the hydroxyl radical by NADH dehydrogenase after doxorubicin treatment. These results suggest that doxorubicin-stimulated reactive oxygen metabolism can alter Ca2+ transport by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and may represent one pathway involved in the cardiac toxicity of this potent antineoplastic agent.

A simple procedure for preparation of highly purified soluble succinate-ubiquinone reductase from bovine heart mitochondrial particles is described. The enzyme exhibits four major bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis and contains (nmol per mg protein): covalently bound flavin, 6; non-heme iron, 53; acid-labile sulfur, 50; cytochrome b-560 heme, 1.2. The enzyme catalyzes thenoyltrifluoroacetone, or carboxin-sensitive (pure non-competitive with Q2) reduction of Q2 by succinate with a turnover number close to that in parent submitochondrial particles. The succinate reduced enzyme exhibits ferredoxin-type iron-sulfur center EPR-signal (g = 1.94 species) and a semiquinone signal (g = 2.00). An oxidized preparation shows a symmetric signal centered around g = 2.01. An unusual dissociation of the enzyme in the absence of a detergent is described. When added to the assay mixture from a concentrated protein-detergent solution, the enzyme does not reduce Q2 being highly reactive towards ferricyanide ('low Km ferricyanide reactive site'; Vinogradov, A.D., Gavrikova, E.V. and Goloveshkina, V.G. (1975) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 65, 1264-1269). The ubiquinone reductase, not the ferricyanide reductase was observed when the enzyme was added to the assay mixture from the diluted protein-detergent solutions. Thus the dissociation of succinate dehydrogenase from the complex occurs in the absence of a detergent dependent on the concentration of the protein-detergent complex in the stock preparation where the samples for the assay are taken from. An active antimycin-sensitive succinate-cytochrome c reductase was reconstituted by admixing of the soluble succinate-ubiquinone reductase and the cytochrome b-c1 complex, i.e., from the complexes which both contain the ubiquinone reactivity conferring protein (QPs). Cytochrome c reductase was also reconstituted from the succinate-ubiquinone reductase and succinate-cytochrome c reductase containing inactivated succinate dehydrogenase. The reconstitution experiments suggest that there exists a specific protein-protein (or lipid) interaction between QPs and a certain component(s) of the b-c1 complex.

In the accompanying paper (Davies, K. J. A., and Doroshow, J. A. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 3060-3067), we have demonstrated that anthracycline antibiotics are reduced to the semiquinone form at Complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. In the experiments presented in this study we examined the effects of doxorubicin (Adriamycin), daunorubicin, and related quinonoid anticancer agents on superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical production by preparations of beef heart submitochondrial particles. Superoxide anion formation was stimulated from (mean +/- S.E.) 1.6 +/- 0.2 to 69.6 +/- 2.7 or 32.1 +/- 1.5 nmol X min-1 X mg-1 by the addition of 90 microM doxorubicin or daunorubicin, respectively. However, the anthracycline 5-iminodaunorubicin, in which an imine group has been substituted in the C ring quinone moiety, did not increase superoxide production over control levels. In the presence of rotenone, initial rates of oxygen consumption and superoxide formation were identical under comparable experimental conditions. Furthermore, H2O2 production increased from undetectable control levels to 2.2 +/- 0.3 nmol X min-1 X mg-1 after treatment of submitochondrial particles with doxorubicin (200 microM). The hydroxyl radical, or a related chemical oxidant, was also detected after the addition of an anthracycline to this system by both ESR spectroscopy using the spin trap 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide and by gas chromatographic quantitation of CH4 produced from dimethyl sulfoxide. Hydroxyl radical production, which was iron-dependent in this system, occurred in a nonlinear fashion with an initial lag phase due to a requirement for H2O2 accumulation. We also found that two quinonoid anti-cancer agents which produce less cardiotoxicity than the anthracyclines, mitomycin C, and mitoxantrone, stimulated significantly less or no hydroxyl radical production by submitochondrial particles. These experiments suggest that injury to cardiac mitochondria which is produced by anthracycline antibiotics may result from the generation of the hydroxyl radical during anthracycline metabolism by NADH dehydrogenase.
