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.

The physicochemical properties of the iron-sulfur clusters present in the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase of Paracoccus denitrificans have been examined in the cytoplasmic membrane particles by redox potentiometry and EPR spectroscopy. Analogous to the iron-sulfur clusters present in the mitochondrial NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase, we have found two binuclear and three tetranuclear EPR detectable iron-sulfur clusters, namely, N-1a, N-1b, N-2, N-3, and N-4. In the bacterial system, the two binuclear clusters differ in line shape and in Em values; the cluster with more rhombic symmetry (gx,y,z = 1.918, 1.937, 2.029) has the Em7.0 value of -150 while the almost axial one (gx,y,z = 1.929, 1.941, 2.019) has Em7.0 of -270 mV. The Em of the former cluster is pH dependent (-60 mV/pH) as in the case of mammalian N-1a while the latter is pH independent as is the mammalian cluster N-1b. The pH-dependent P. denitrificans [2Fe-2S] cluster, which we have labeled N-1a, has an Em7.0 as high as that of N-2, in contrast to the mammalian N-1a. Thus N-1a is reducible with a physiological reductant, NADH in this bacterial system. The Em of the cluster N-2 is also pH dependent (Em7.0 = -130 mV) with a pK value near 7.7. The Em values of all other clusters exhibit no pH dependence as in the case of their mammalian counterparts. We have found that the cluster N-1a is the most labile component among the five iron-sulfur clusters and may give rise to variable relative spin concentrations and extremely low Em values due to the facile modifications of the microenvironment of the cluster. The P. denitrificans NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase provides a unique and useful site I model system where redox composition is similar to the mitochondrial enzyme but with fewer numbers of polypeptides (Yagi, T. (1986) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 250, 302-311).

The method described for the isolation of mitochondrial complex I (NADH-ubiquinone reductase) from bovine hearts could not be applied to donkey hearts as unacceptably large losses in enzyme activity occurred. This method was modified for the isolation of complex I using donkey hearts and two complexes were obtained: complex IA which was physiologically inactive and complex IB which was physiologically active as it catalyzed the reaction from NADH to ubiquinone. Both complexes had relatively low enzyme activity with artificial electron acceptors, except with potassium ferricyanide, and had more or less the same amount of acid-labile sulfur and nonheme iron although the polypeptide composition differed to a great extent.

The number and type of iron-sulfur clusters present in the NADH dehydrogenase of the mammalian respiratory chain were studied by a combination of low temperature magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and quantitative electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. MCD was used with the high molecular weight, soluble enzyme, and EPR was used with both the purified enzyme and Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). The results of the EPR experiments of the two types of preparations agreed with each other, as well as with the data in the literature for various types of membrane-bound preparations. The two methods gave concordant results showing the presence of one binuclear and of three tetranuclear NADH-reducible iron-sulfur clusters. Earlier studies using the cluster extrusion technique indicated a higher ratio of binuclear to tetranuclear clusters which may be explained by cluster interconversion during the extrusion process.

An ubiquinone-binding protein (QP) was purified from mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase (Complex I). Complex I was separated into 3 fragments: a fraction of hydrophobic proteins, that of soluble iron-sulfur protein (IP) and soluble NADH dehydrogenase of flavoprotein by a procedure involving the resolution with DOC and cholate, followed by ethanol and ammonium acetate fractionations. About 40% of the total ubiquinone was recovered in the IP fragment which consisted of 12 polypeptides. The QP was purified from the IP fragment with a hydrophobic affinity chromatography. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the purified QP corresponded to 14-kDa polypeptide of the IP fragment and was a different protein from the QP (12.4 kDa) in Complex III. The purified QP (14 kDa) contained one mol ubiquinone per mol. The ubiquinone-depleted IP fragment could rebind ubiquinone. These results indicate that an ubiquinone-binding site in Complex I is on the 14-kDa polypeptide of the IP fragment.

An NADH dehydrogenase complex was isolated from the plasma membranes of aerobically grown Paracoccus denitrificans cells by extraction with NaBr and purification on an NAD-agarose column. The NADH-ubiquinone-1 reductase activity of the isolated NADH dehydrogenase complex was about 10 times higher than that of the NaBr extract. The preparation was composed of 10 (6 major and 4 minor) unlike polypeptides, and lacked identifiable components and activities characteristic of other enzyme complexes of the oxidative phosphorylation system. The purified enzyme contained noncovalently bound FMN, nonheme iron, and acid-labile sulfide. The ratio of FMN to nonheme iron to acid-labile sulfide was 1:13 approximately 14:11 approximately 12, suggestive of the presence of multiple iron-sulfur clusters. The isolated NADH dehydrogenase complex cross-reacted with antisera to beef heart mitochondrial complex I and protein fraction derived therefrom, indicating the presence in the Paracoccus enzyme of antigenic sites similar to those in the intact complex I and its iron-sulfur protein and possibly hydrophobic protein fractions.

Recently, we described a patient with severe lactic acidosis due to congenital complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) deficiency. We now report further enzymatic and immunological characterizations. Both NADH and ferricyanide titrations of complex I activity (measured as NADH-ferricyanide reductase) were distinctly altered in the mitochondria from the patient's tissues. In addition, antisera against complex I immunoprecipitated NADH-ferricyanide reductase from the control but not the patient's mitochondria. However, immunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of complex I polypeptides demonstrated that the majority of the 25 polypeptides comprising complex I were present in the affected mitochondria. A more detailed analysis using subunit selective antisera against the main polypeptides of the iron-protein fragments of complex I revealed a selective absence of the 75- and 13-kD polypeptides. These findings suggest that the underlying basis for this patient's disease was a congenital deficiency of at least two polypeptides comprising the iron-protein fragment of complex I, which resulted in the inability to correctly assemble a functional enzyme complex.

We have investigated the structure of two-dimensional crystals from preparations of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase from beef-heart mitochondria. The crystal structure of these crystals was previously determined to be equivalent with two native enzyme molecules per unit cell, i.e. a p2 symmetry [Boekema, E. J., Van Heel, M. G. & Van Bruggen, E. F. J. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 787, 19-26]. However, the optical diffraction patterns of the crystals displayed a clear fourfold symmetry. A Fourier analysis carried out on the calculated diffraction pattern proved unambiguously that the crystal symmetry was p42(1)2. Following crystallographic rules the unit cell therefore contained eight identical molecules. As a consequence, only a subcomplex of the enzyme rather than the intact enzyme formed the crystal. Electron microscopy of isolated, single molecules of the iron-sulphur protein, a dissociation product of complex I, revealed the presence of square complexes with sides of approximately 15 nm. Since these complexes were indistinguishable from the building blocks (unit cells) of the two-dimensional crystals, the crystals could be composed of Fe-S protein fragments only. The nature of the fragments in the unit cell was probed by immuno-labelling with monovalent antibodies (Fab's), raised against the 75-kDa subunit from the Fe-S protein, followed by image analysis. We found at least four binding sites for the anti-(75-kDa subunit) Fab per unit cell, indicating the presence of at least four copies of the antigen. In order to account for these observations we postulate the hypothesis that the two-dimensional crystals obtained from complex I are composed of iron-sulphur protein molecules in an octameric arrangement.

A mitochondrial NADH:Q6 oxidoreductase has been isolated from cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by a simple method involving extraction of the enzyme from the mitochondrial membrane with Triton X-100, followed by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and blue Sepharose CL-6B. By this procedure a 2000-fold purification is achieved with respect to whole cells or a 150-fold purification with respect to the mitochondrion. The purified NADH dehydrogenase consists of a single subunit with molecular mass of 53 kDa as indicated by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme contains FAD, non-covalently linked, as the sole prosthetic group with Em,7.6 = -370 mV and no iron-sulphur clusters. The enzyme is specific for NADH with apparent Km = 31 microM and was found to be inhibited by flavone (I50 = 95 microM), but not by rotenone or piericidin. The purified enzyme can use ubiquinone-2, -6 or -10, menaquinone, dichloroindophenol or ferricyanide as electron acceptors, but at different rates. The greatest turnover of NADH was obtained with ubiquinone-2 as acceptor (2500 s-1). With the natural ubiquinone-6 this value was 500 s-1. The NADH:Q2 oxidoreductase activity shows a maximum at pH 6.2, the NADH:Q6 oxidoreductase activity is constant between pH 4.5-9.0. The amount of enzyme in the cell is subject to glucose repression; it increases slightly when cells, grown on glucose or lactate, enter the stationary phase. The experiments performed so far suggest that the enzyme purified in this study is the external NADH:Q6 oxidoreductase, bound to the mitochondrial inner membrane and that it is involved in the oxidation of cytosolic NADH. The relation of this enzyme with respect to various other NADH dehydrogenases from yeast and plant mitochondria is discussed.

The site of synthesis of the iron-sulfur subunits of the flavoprotein and iron-protein fractions of the human respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase has been investigated to test the possibility that any of them is synthesized in mitochondria. For this purpose, antibodies specific for individual subunits of the bovine enzyme, which cross-reacted with the homologous human subunits in immunoblot assays, were tested against HeLa cell mitochondrial proteins labeled in vivo with [35S]methionine in the absence or presence of inhibitors of mitochondrial or cytoplasmic protein synthesis. The results clearly indicated that all the iron-sulfur subunits of the flavoprotein and iron-protein fractions of human complex I are synthesized in the cytosol and are, therefore, encoded in nuclear genes.
