Slow active/inactive transition of the membrane-bound mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase (Kotlyar, A.B. and Vinogradov, A.D. (1990) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1019, 151-158) is sensitive to Ca2+ and other divalent cations. Millimolar concentrations of Ca2+ drastically reduce the rate of the turnover-dependent activation of NADH-ubiquinone reductase. When NADH oxidase, the rotenone-sensitive NADH-ubiquinone reductase or the succinate-supported delta mu H+-dependent NAD+ reduction were initiated by the deactivated enzyme preparations all the three activities were strongly inhibited by Ca2+; no sensitivity of these reactions to Ca2+ was observed when the assays were started by the activated enzyme preparations. The affinity of the deactivated enzyme to polyvalent cations was in the following order: Ni2+ greater than Co2+ greater than La3+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Ca2+ approximately Mg2+ greater than Ba2+. Monovalent metal cations had no effect on the slow turnover-dependent enzyme activation. The apparent affinity of the deactivated enzyme to Ca2+ was strongly pH-dependent. The KCa2+ values of 5.7 mM and 0.6 mM at pH 7.5 and 8.5 were determined from the presteady-state kinetics parameters. The spontaneous temperature-dependent deactivation of the enzyme was insensitive to Ca2+. Ca2+ increases the reactivity of the enzyme sulfhydryl group in the deactivated preparations towards N-ethylmaleimide. This effect was also used to quantitate Ca2+ affinity for the enzyme. The KCa2+ values of 1.2 mM and 0.4 mM at pH 8.0 and 9.0, respectively, were determined. The data obtained suggest that Ca2+ content in the mitochondrial matrix may play an important role in the control of NADH oxidation by the respiratory chain.

Mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the most complicated enzyme in the respiratory chain and is composed of at least 26 distinct polypeptides. Two hydrophilic subfractions of bovine heart complex I were systematically resolved into individual polypeptides by chromatography. Three polypeptides (51, 24, and 9 kDa) were isolated from the flavoprotein fraction (FP) of complex I, and the complete amino acid sequence of the 9 kDa polypeptide was determined. The 9 kDa polypeptide is composed of 75 amino acids with a molecular weight of 8,437. This protein exhibits no obvious sequence similarity to other proteins. The iron-sulfur protein fraction (IP) of complex I was separated into eight polypeptides, 75, 49, 30, 20, 18, 15, 13 kDa-A, and 13 kDa-B. The 20 kDa polypeptide was recognized as a novel component of IP for the first time. The N-terminal and several peptide sequences of the 20 kDa polypeptide were determined. Comparison of the sequences revealed significant sequence similarities of the 20 kDa polypeptide to the psbG gene products encoded in the chloroplast genome. The conserved sequence in these proteins was also found in the small subunit of the nickel-containing hydrogenases. These results suggest that complex I is related to other redox enzyme complexes.

The energy-transducing NADH-ubiquinone (Q) oxidoreductase of Paracoccus denitrificans is composed of 14 dissimilar subunits and contains at least four iron-sulfur clusters [Yagi, T. (1993) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1141, 1-17]. The complete DNA sequence of the gene cluster encoding the energy-transducing NADH-Q oxidoreductase of P. denitrificans has been determined. This paper reports the expression of the 25-kilodalton (kDa) (NQO2) subunit of the P. denitrificans enzyme complex in Escherichia coli and the characterization of the iron-sulfur cluster bound to the expressed subunit. The 25-kDa subunit was expressed in the cytoplasmic phase but not in the membrane fraction of E. coli cells and then purified using an affinity nickel chelation column. The purified subunit contains 1.44 mol of non-heme iron and 1.33 mol of acid-labile sulfide/mol of subunit. EPR analysis of the reduced form of this subunit indicates that the expressed subunit contains a single binuclear [2Fe-2S] cluster. This cluster exhibits a spectrum of rhombic symmetry with g values of gx,y,z = 1.913, 1.942, and 1.996, which is very similar to the spectrum of the [2Fe-2S] cluster in the resolved flavoprotein II subfraction (subunit 24 + 9 kDa) of bovine heart complex I [Ragan, C. I., Galante, Y. M., Hatefi, Y., & Ohnishi, T. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 590-594; Ohnishi, T., Ragan, C. I., & Hatefi, Y. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 2782-2788]. The assignment of the binuclear iron-sulfur cluster of the 25-kDa subunit to an EPR-visible iron-sulfur cluster in the Paracoccus NADH-Q oxidoreductase in situ is discussed.

The sequence pattern CxxCxnGxCxxxGxmGCPP, thus far found in the small subunits from 21 different nickel hydrogenases, appears also to be present in the PSST polypeptide from NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) of beef-heart mitochondria. There is only one difference: the first cysteine residue is a leucine in the PSST subunit. The large nickel-binding subunit of nickel hydrogenases shows a surprising homology with the 49 kDa subunit of mitochondrial Complex I.

The cytoplasmic, NAD-reducing hydrogenase (SH) of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 is a heterotetrameric enzyme which contains several cofactors and undergoes a complex maturation during biogenesis. HoxH is the Ni-carrying subunit, and together with HoxY it forms the hydrogenase dimer. HoxF and HoxU represent the flavin-containing diaphorase moiety, which is closely related to NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase and mediates NADH oxidation. A variety of mutations were introduced into the four SH structural genes to obtain mutant enzymes composed of monomeric and dimeric forms. A deletion removing most of hoxF, hoxU, and hoxY led to the expression of a HoxH monomer derivative which was proteolytically processed at the C terminus like the wild-type polypeptide. While the hydrogenase dimer, produced by a strain deleted of hoxF and hoxU, displayed H2-dependent dye-reducing activity, the monomeric form did not mediate the activation of H2, although nickel was incorporated into HoxH. Deletion of hoxH and hoxY led to the production of HoxFU dimers which displayed NADH:oxidoreductase activity. Mixing the hydrogenase and the diaphorase moieties in vitro reconstituted the structure and catalytic function of the SH holoenzyme.

In this paper we report the up to now ignored fluorescence properties of the specific Cu(I)-chelator bathocuproine disulfonate and their application in assays of total copper and Cu(I). The method is based on the linear quenching of the bathocuproine disulfonate emission at 770 nm (lambda(ex)580 nm) by increasing concentrations of Cu(I), at pH 7.5. Copper concentrations as low as 0.1 microM can be determined. Other metal ions (iron, manganese, zinc, cadmium, cobalt, nickel) do not interfere. The procedure for total copper determination in proteins includes HCl treatment to release the copper, neutralization to pH 7.5 in the presence of citrate to stabilize the copper, and reduction of the copper to Cu(I) by ascorbate in the presence of the chelator. This assay gave results coincident with the analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy in two selected proteins. In addition, conditions are described (omitting HCl treatment and reduction by ascorbate) for direct measurement of Cu(I) in native proteins, as illustrated for the Escherichia coli NADH dehydrogenase-2. Data show that the fluorometric assays described in this paper are simple and convenient procedures for total copper and direct Cu(I) quantification in determined biological samples.

Iron is an essential nutrient to most organisms, and is actively involved in oxygen delivery, electron transport, DNA synthesis, and many other biochemical reactions important for cell survival. We previously reported that nickel (Ni) ion exposure decreases cellular iron level and converts cytosolic aconitase (c-aconitase) to iron-regulatory protein-1 in A549 cells (Chen H, Davidson T, Singleton S, Garrick MD, Costa M. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 206:275-287, 2005). Here, we further investigated the effect of Ni ion exposure on the activity of mitochondrial iron-sulfur (Fe-S) enzymes and cellular energy metabolism. We found that acute Ni ion treatment up to 1 mM exhibits minimal toxicity in A549 cells. Ni ion treatment decreases the activity of several Fe-S enzymes related to cellular energy metabolism, including mitochondrial aconitase (m-aconitase), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), and NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). Low doses of Ni ion for 4 weeks resulted in an increased cellular glycolysis and NADH to NAD+ (NADH/NAD+) ratio, although glycolysis was inhibited at higher levels. Collectively, our results show that Ni ions decrease the activity of cellular iron (Fe)-containing enzymes, inhibit oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), and increase cellular glycolytic activity. Since increased glycolysis is one of the fundamental alterations of energy metabolism in cancer cells (the Warburg effect), the inhibition of Fe-S enzymes and subsequent changes in cellular energy metabolism caused by Ni ions may play an important role in Ni carcinogenesis.

The proton-pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, the respiratory complex I, couples the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone with the translocation of protons across the membrane. The Escherichia coli complex I consists of 13 different subunits named NuoA-N (from NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), that are coded by the genes of the nuo-operon. Genetic manipulation of the operon is difficult due to its enormous size. The enzymatic activity of variants is obscured by an alternative NADH dehydrogenase, and purification of the variants is hampered by their instability. To overcome these problems the entire E. coli nuo-operon was cloned and placed under control of the l-arabinose inducible promoter ParaBAD. The exposed N-terminus of subunit NuoF was chosen for engineering the complex with a hexahistidine-tag by lambda-Red-mediated recombineering. Overproduction of the complex from this construct in a strain which is devoid of any membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase led to the assembly of a catalytically active complex causing the entire NADH oxidase activity of the cytoplasmic membranes. After solubilization with dodecyl maltoside the engineered complex binds to a Ni2+-iminodiacetic acid matrix allowing the purification of approximately 11 mg of complex I from 25 g of cells. The preparation is pure and monodisperse and comprises all known subunits and cofactors. It contains more lipids than earlier preparations due to the gentle and fast purification procedure. After reconstitution in proteoliposomes it couples the electron transfer with proton translocation in an inhibitor sensitive manner, thus meeting all prerequisites for structural and functional studies.

Most methanogenic archaea reduce CO(2) with H(2) to CH(4). For the activation of H(2), they use different [NiFe]-hydrogenases, namely energy-converting [NiFe]-hydrogenases, heterodisulfide reductase-associated [NiFe]-hydrogenase or methanophenazine-reducing [NiFe]-hydrogenase, and F(420)-reducing [NiFe]-hydrogenase. The energy-converting [NiFe]-hydrogenases are phylogenetically related to complex I of the respiratory chain. Under conditions of nickel limitation, some methanogens synthesize a nickel-independent [Fe]-hydrogenase (instead of F(420)-reducing [NiFe]-hydrogenase) and by that reduce their nickel requirement. The [Fe]-hydrogenase harbors a unique iron-guanylylpyridinol cofactor (FeGP cofactor), in which a low-spin iron is ligated by two CO, one C(O)CH(2)-, one S-CH(2)-, and a sp(2)-hybridized pyridinol nitrogen. Ligation of the iron is thus similar to that of the low-spin iron in the binuclear active-site metal center of [NiFe]- and [FeFe]-hydrogenases. Putative genes for the synthesis of the FeGP cofactor have been identified. The formation of methane from 4 H(2) and CO(2) catalyzed by methanogenic archaea is being discussed as an efficient means to store H(2).
