An azidoubiquinone derivative, 3-azido-2-methyl-5-methoxy [3H]-6-decyl-1,4-benzoquinone ([3H]azido-Q), was used to study the ubiquinone-protein interaction and to identify ubiquinone-binding proteins in bovine heart mitochondrial succinate-ubiquinone reductase. When the reductase was incubated with [3H]azido-Q and illuminated with long wavelength UV light, the decrease in the enzymatic activity correlated with the amount of azido-Q incorporated into the protein. When the illuminated, [3H]azido-Q-treated reductase was extracted with organic solvent and subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, radioactivity was found primarily in the QPs1 subunit. The [3H]azido-Q-labeled QPs1 was purified from labeled reductase by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate fractionation, dialysis, organic solvent extraction, lyophilization, preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and cold acetone precipitation. The purified, [3H]azido-Q-labeled QPs1 protein was subjected to reductive carboxymethylation prior to digestion by trypsin. One azido-Q-linked peptide, with a retention time of 66.9 min, was obtained by high performance liquid chromatographic separation. The partial amino-terminal sequence of this peptide is GLTISQL-, indicating that this tryptic peptide comprises amino acid residues 113-140 of the revised amino acid sequence of QPs1. The Q-binding domain, using the proposed structure of QPs1, is probably located in the stretch connecting transmembrane helices 2 and 3 that extrude from the surface of the M side of the inner membrane.

In the filarial parasite, Setaria digitata, the mitochondria like particles (MLP) show NAD reduction with sodium lactate. The MLP also reduces dye and ferricyanide with lactate. The ferricyanide reduction by lactate is found to be sensitive to the cytochrome o inhibitor orthohydroxy diphenyl (OHD) and complex I inhibitor rotenone, modulated by ADP (+) and ATP (-) and inhibited by pyruvate and oxaloacetate. MLP shows lactate oxidation sensitive to OHD, rotenone and sodium malonate. Thus, the lactate utilizing complex system, consisting of an NADH generating MLP bound lactate dehydrogenase and a lactate flavocytochrome reductase tightly linked to complex I and cytochrome o, produces ATP in functional association with fumarate reductase complex and other enzyme systems. Hence, this study provides new dimensions to the study of metabolism in filarial parasites.

The effects of BRB-I-28 and its derivatives (GLG-V-13, SAZ-VII-22 and SAZ-VII-23), a novel group of antiarrhythmic agents, were investigated on the rat heart mitochondrial respiratory chain. The results indicate that BRB-I-28 and its derivatives have concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on NADH oxidase and NADH-CoQ reductase (complex I), but they have no significant effects on succinate oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase (complex II), CoQ-cytochrome c reductase (complex III), cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV), and NADH-K3Fe(CN)6 reductase. The site of inhibition of BRB-I-28 and its derivatives on the respiratory chain was localized between flavoprotein n (FPn) and CoQ, which is similar to the effect of rotenone and several other antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone, propranolol, etc. BRB-I-28 and its derivatives also have significant inhibitory effects on mitochondrial ATPase activity as reported for other antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone, propranolol, quinidine, and lidocaine. However, BRB-I-28 and its derivatives have no direct effects on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. The inhibitory effects of BRB-I-28 and its derivatives on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation may result in the depletion of ATP. This effect, in combination with their effects on Na+,K(+)-ATPase, could possibly produce an increase in Ca2+ concentration in cytosol. This may be another mechanism by which these DHBCN derivatives produce an increase in systemic arterial blood pressure and contractile force of isolated cardiac muscle. On the other hand, inhibition on mitochondrial respiration may account for some of the potential toxic effects of these diheterabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives.

Tordon herbicide, which is a mixture of 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), depresses the phosphorylation efficiency of the rat liver mitochondria, as inferred from the decrease of the respiratory control coefficient and the ADP/O ratios when NAD(+)-dependent substrates were used; NADH oxidase and NADH cytochrome c reductase were also inhibited, without any effect on the other enzymatic complexes of the respiratory chain. Tordon (66.2 nmol picloram + 270 nmol 2,4-D mg-1 protein) affected the amplitude of swelling induced by glutamate, succinate, (N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenyldiamine + sodium ascorbate and ATP. These results characterize an interaction of Tordon with complex I of the respiratory chain and also a partial collapse of the proton motive force of the mitochondrial inner membrane without affecting its elasticity.

The plant NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (or complex I) was isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum) mitochondria. The multisubunit enzyme was solubilized with detergents, Triton X-100 and 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), out of the inner mitochondrial membranes and purified by hydroxylapatite and gel filtration chromatography. The preparation was found to be virtually free of any ATPase or transhydrogenase contamination. Complex I of potato is composed of at least 32 individual subunits as detected in silver-stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and has a total molecular mass of about 900 kDa. The enzyme preparation showed an NADH:ubiquinone-2 reductase activity of 11.5 mumol x min-1 x mg-1 and is strongly inhibited by rotenone. Heterologous polyclonal antibodies against the 70- and 49-kDa subunits of the Neurospora crassa complex I and against the wheat NAD9 subunit cross-reacted specifically with the respective potato subunits. Four of the 10 NH2-terminal sequences determined show significant similarities to Neurospora or bovine complex I subunits and allow a tentative assignment of these subunits.

Previous in vitro studies have shown that isolated mitochondria can generate oxygen radicals. However, whether a similar phenomenon can also occur in intact organs is unknown. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that resumption of mitochondrial respiration upon reperfusion might be a mechanism of oxygen radical formation in postischemic hearts, and that treatment with inhibitors of mitochondrial respiration might prevent this phenomenon. Three groups of Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts were subjected to 30 min of global ischemia at 37 degrees C, followed by reflow. Throughout ischemia and early reperfusion the hearts received, respectively: (a) 5 mM KCl (controls), (b) 5 mM sodium amobarbital (Amytal, which blocks mitochondrial respiration at Site I, at the level of NADH dehydrogenase), and (c) 5 mM potassium cyanide (to block mitochondrial respiration distally, at the level of cytochrome c oxidase). The hearts were then processed to directly evaluate oxygen radical generation by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, or to measure oxygen radical-induced membrane lipid peroxidation by malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) content of subcellular fractions. Severity of ischemia, as assessed by 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of cardiac ATP, phosphocreatine, and pH, was similar in all groups. Oxygen-centered free radical concentration averaged 3.84 +/- 0.54 microM in reperfused control hearts, and it was significantly reduced by Amytal treatment (1.98 +/- 0.26; p < 0.05), but not by KCN (2.58 +/- 0.96 microM; p = not significant (NS)), consistent with oxygen radicals being formed in the mitochondrial respiratory chain at Site I. Membrane lipid peroxidation of reperfused hearts was also reduced by treatment with Amytal, but not with KCN. MDA content of the mitochondrial fraction averaged 0.75 +/- 0.06 nM/mg protein in controls, 0.72 +/- 0.06 in KCN-treated hearts, and 0.54 +/- 0.05 in Amytal-treated hearts (p < 0.05 versus both groups). Similarly, MDA content of lysosomal membrane fraction was 0.64 +/- 0.09 nM/mg protein in controls, 0.79 +/- 0.15 in KCN-treated hearts, and 0.43 +/- 0.06 in Amytal-treated hearts (p < 0.05 versus both groups). Since the effects of Amytal are known to be reversible, in a second series of experiments we investigated whether transient mitochondrial inhibition during the initial 10 min of reperfusion was also associated with beneficial effects on subsequent recovery of cardiac function after wash-out of the drug. At the end of the experiment, recovery of left ventricular end-diastolic and of developed pressure was significantly greater in those hearts that had been treated with Amytal during ischemia and early reflow, as compared to untreated hearts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The Na+-activated NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase of Vibrio alginolyticus was extracted from the membranes with lauryldimethylamine-N-oxide and purified by two successive anion exchange columns. This preparation, yielding four major and several minor stained bands after SDS-PAGE, retained the NADH-dehydrogenase activity (with menadione as an artificial electron acceptor) and ubiquinone-1 (Q) reductase activity. On further fractionation of the enzyme, the Q-reductase activity essentially disappeared. Chemical analyses revealed the presence of FAD but not FMN, of non-heme iron and of acid-labile sulfur and tightly-bound ubiquinone-8 in the purified Q-reductase preparation. The participation of an iron-sulfur cluster of the [2Fe-2S] type in the electron translocation was demonstrated by the appearance of a typical EPR signal for this prosthetic group after the reduction of Q-reductase with NADH. A strong EPR signal typical for a radical observed upon reduction of the enzyme might arise from the formation of quinone radicals. In the absence of Na+, the path of the electrons apparently ends with the reduction of ubiquinone-1 to the semiquinone derivative which in the presence of O2 becomes reoxidized with concomitant formation of superoxide radicals. In the presence of Na+, these oxygen radicals are not formed and the semiquinone is further reduced to the quinol derivative. These results indicate that the Na+-dependent step in the electron transfer catalyzed by NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase is the reduction of ubisemiquinone to ubiquinol. After reconstitution of the purified Q-reductase into proteoliposomes, NADH oxidation by ubiquinone-1 was coupled to Na+ transport with an apparent stoichiometry of 0.5 Na+ per NADH oxidized. The transport was stimulated by valinomycin (+ K+) or by the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). The transport of Na+ is therefore a primary event and does not involve the intermediate formation of a proton gradient.

Heart mitochondria can be made to oxidize extramitochondrial NADH via the exogenous NADH dehydrogenase. Oxidation of extramitochondrial NADH was found to be associated with the disappearance of H+ from the suspension medium. Our studies on the possible pathway through which H+ may disappear from the extramitochondrial space were focused on (i) an unspecific transmembranous H+ leakage along the electrochemical H+ gradient following peroxidative membrane alteration, (ii) stimulation of a controlled H+ reconduction through the H+ channel of the ATP synthase, and (iii) stimulation of the Na+/H+ counterporter by Ca2+ release. Our experiments revealed that none of these H+ pathways was involved in the observed alkalinization of the extramitochondrial space during respiration of external NADH. The latter effect was inhibited when oxidation of external NADH via the respiratory chain was blocked and could be turned into the opposite when artificial e- acceptors of the exogenous NADH dehydrogenase were used to reactivate NADH consumption. Stoichiometric analysis of H+ disappearance and O2 consumption revealed that reducing equivalents of external NADH were transferred to oxygen via cytochrome oxidase and H+ from the suspension was used to release water.

Two candidate photoaffinity probes are designed from 4-substituted quinazolines known to be potent insecticides/acaricides and NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase inhibitors acting at or near the rotenone site. 4-(11-Azidoundecyl-2-amino)quinazoline, based on the undecylamino analog SAN 548A as a prototype, was synthesized in 18% overall yield from ethyl 10-undecenoate by oxidation of the terminal double bond, reductive amination, coupling to 4-chloroquinazoline, and functional group manipulation of the terminal ethyl ester to an alcohol, a mesylate and finally nucleophilic displacement with azide ions. 4-(4-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl)phenethoxy)quinaz oline [the (trifluoromethyl)diazirinyl analog of fenazaquin insecticide/acaricide] was prepared from 4-bromophenethyl alcohol in 31% overall yield by first introducing the trifluoromethylketone moiety followed by its conversion to the (trifluoromethyl)-diazirine and finally coupling to 4-chloroquinazoline as above. Both candidate photoaffinity probes have the inhibitory potency of rotenone (IC50 of 3-4 nM in each case). The azidoundecylamino compound has inadequate photoreactivity whereas that of the (trifluoromethyl)diazirinyl analog is ideal at 350 nm. Radiosynthesis of the latter photoaffinity ligand included introduction of the diazirinyl moiety as the carbene precursor, oxidation of (trifluoromethyl)diazirinylphenethyl alcohol to the corresponding acid with Jones' reagent, and reduction of the phenacetyl chloride intermediate with sodium borotritide to incorporate tritium.

Acidaminococcus fermentans is able to ferment glutamate to ammonia, CO2, acetate, butyrate, and H2. The molecular hydrogen (approximately 10 kPa; E' = -385 mV) stems from NADH generated in the 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase reaction (E degrees ' = -240 mV) of the hydroxyglutarate pathway. In contrast to growing cells, which require at least 5 mM Na+, a Na+-dependence of the H2-formation was observed with washed cells. Whereas the optimal glutamate fermentation rate was achieved already at 1 mM Na+, H2 formation commenced only at > 10 mM Na+ and reached maximum rates at 100 mM Na+. The acetate/butyrate ratio thereby increased from 2.0 at 1 mM Na+ to 3.0 at 100 mM Na+. A hydrogenase and an NADH dehydrogenase, both of which were detected in membrane fractions, are components of a model in which electrons, generated by NADH oxidation inside of the cytoplasmic membrane, reduce protons outside of the cytoplasmic membrane. The entire process can be driven by decarboxylation of glutaconyl-CoA, which consumes the protons released by NADH oxidation inside the cell. Hydrogen production commences exactly at those Na+ concentrations at which the electrogenic H+/Na+-antiporter glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase is converted into a Na+/Na+ exchanger.
