Treatment of submitochondrial particles (ETP) with trypsin at 0 degrees destroyed NADPH leads to NAD (or 3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide, AcPyAD) transhydrogenase activity. NADH oxidase activity was unaffected; NADPH oxidase and NADH leads to AcPyAD transhydrogenase activities were diminished by less than 10%. When ETP was incubated with trypsin at 30 degrees, NADPH leads to NAD transhydrogenase activity was rapidly lost, NADPH oxidase activity was slowly destroyed, but NADH oxidase activity remained intact. The reduction pattern by NADPH, NADPH + NAD, and NADH of chromophores absorbing at 475 minus 510 nm (flavin and iron-sulfur centers) in complex I (NADH-ubiquinone reductase) or ETP treated with trypsin at 0 degrees also indicated specific destruction of transhydrogenase activity. The sensitivity of the NADPH leads to NAD transhydrogenase reaction to trypsin suggested the involvement of susceptible arginyl residues in the enzyme. Arginyl residues are considered to be positively charged binding sites for anionic substrates and ligands in many enzymes. Treatment of ETP with the specific arginine-binding reagent, butanedione, inhibited transhydrogenation from NADPH leads to NAD (or AcPyAD). It had no effect on NADH oxidation, and inhibited NADPH oxidation and NADH leads to AcPyAD transhydrogenation by only 10 to 15% even after 30 to 60 min incubation of ETP with butanedione. The inhibition of NADPH leads to NAD transhydrogenation was diminished considerably when butanedione was added to ETP in the presence of NAD or NADP. When both NAD and NADP were present, the butanedione effect was completely abolished, thus suggesting the possible presence of arginyl residues at the nucleotide binding site of the NADPH leads to NAD transhydrogenase enzyme. Under conditions that transhydrogenation from NADPH to NAD was completely inhibited by trypsin or butanedione, NADPH oxidation rate was larger than or equal to 220 nmol min-1 mg-1 ETP protein at pH 6.0 and 30 degrees. The above results establish that in the respiratory chain of beef-heart mitochondria NADH oxidation, NADPH oxidation, and NADPH leads to NAD transhydrogenation are independent reactions.

The purified respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli oxidizes NADH with either dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP). ferricyanide, or menadione as electron acceptors, with values for NADH are similar with the three electron acceptors (approximately 50 muM). The purified enzyme contains no flavin and has an absolute requirement for FAD, with Km values around 4 muM. The pH optimum of the enzyme appears to be between 6.5 and 7; the optimum is difficult to establish because of nonenzymatic reduction of DCIP at the lower pH values. Potassium cyanide stimulates the DCIP reductase activity about 2-fold, but has no effect on ferricyanide reductase. The enzyme exhibits hyperbolic kinetics with respect to NADH concentration in both the ferricyanide and DCIP reductase assays, but cooperatively is seen in the menadione reductase reaction. NAD+ is an effective competitive inhibitor of the reaction (Ki congruent to 20 muM); in the presence of NAD+, the NADH saturation curve becomes cooperative, even in the DCIP reductase assay. Many adenine containing nucleotides are competitive inhibitors of the enzyme. The apparent Ki values for these nucleotides as inhibitors of the purified enzyme, the membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase, and the NADH oxidase are equivalent. An examination of inhibitory effects of a series of adenine nucleotides suggests that the inhibitors act as analogues of NAD+, which is the true physiological inhibitor. The results suggest that the enzyme in situ is always partially inhibited by the levels of NAD- in the E coli cell, and thus behaves in a cooperative fashion to changes in the NAD+/NADH ratio. An antibody has been elicited against the purified NADH dehydrogenase. Immunodiffusion and crossed immunoelectrophoresis show that the antibody is directed principally against the NADH dehydrogenase, with some activity against minor contaminants in the purified preparation. The antibody inhibits NADH dehydrogenase activity 50% at saturating levels. When this antibody preparation is used to examine solubilized membrane preparations, two major immunoprecipitates are found. A parallel inhibition of the membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase and NADH oxidase activities is seen, supporting the hypothesis that the purified enzyme is indeed a component of the respiratory chain-dependent NADH oxidase pathway.

The soluble NADH dehydrogenase of low molecular weight, isolated from complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.5.3) of the respiratory chain, has been shown to have NADPH dehydrogenase and NADPH leads to NAD transhydrogenase activities. Both activities are greatly increased in the presence of added guanidine-HCl and at pH values less than 6.5. The chromophores of the soluble enzyme (flavin and iron--sulfur centers) are reduced by NADH and NADPH to the same extent. The latter reduction is extremely slow, and is considerably stimulated in the presence of guanidine-HCl. The soluble dehydrogenase has little or no NADH leads to NADP and NADPH leads to NADP transhydrogenase activity. The former reaction is known to be energy-linked in submitochondrial particles; the latter was shown in the present studies also to be energy-linked. In view of the above and earlier results, possible mechanisms for dehydrogenation and transhydrogenation (nonenergy-linked and energy-linked) involving reduced and oxidized NAD and NADP are proposed.

1. Oxidation of NADPH by various acceptors catalyzed by submitochondrial particles and a partially purified NADH dehydrogenase from beef heart was investigated. Submitochondrial particles devoid of nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase activity catalyze an oxidation of NADPH by oxygen. The partially purified NADH dehydrogenase prepared from these particles catalyzes an oxidation of NADPH by acetylpyridine-NAD. In both cases the rates of oxidation are about two orders of magnitude lower than those obtained with NADH as electron donor. 2. The kinetic characteristics of the NADPH oxidase reaction and reduction of acetylpyridine-NAD by NADPH are similar with regard to pH dependences and affinities for NADPH, indicating that both reactions involve the same binding site for NADPH. The binding of NADPH to this site appears to be rate limiting for the overall reactions. 3. At redox equilibrium NADPH and NADH reduce FMN and iron-sulphur center 1 of NADH dehydrogenase to the same extents. The rate of reduction of FMN by NADPH is at least two orders of magnitude lower than with NADH. 4. It is concluded that NADPH is a substrate of NADH dehydrogenase and that the nicotinamide nucleotide is oxidized by submitochondrial particles via the NADH--binding site of the enzyme.

The ability of the isomeric quinone metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene-6,12-dione, benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-dione, and benzo[a]pyrene-3,6-dione to undergo reversible, univalent oxidation-reduction cycles involving the corresponding benzo[a]pyrenediols and intermediate semiquinone radicals has been characterized. Under anaerobic conditions, all three benzo[a]pyrenediones are easily reduced to benzo[a]pyrenediols, even by mild biological agents such as NAD(P)H, cysteamine, and glutathione. The benzo[a]pyrenediols, in turn, are very rapidly autoxidized to the benzo[a]pyrenediones when exposed to air. Substantial amounts of hydrogen peroxide are produced during these autoxidations, and other reactive reduced oxygen species, such as the superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, are probably formed transiently as well. The benzo[a]pyrenediol-benzo[a]pyrenedione interconversions proceed by one-electron steps; the corresponsing semiquinone radicals can be monitored by electron spin resonance spectroscopy as inter mediates during these reactions carried out at high pH. Benzo[a]pyrenediones induce DNA strand scission when incubated with bacteriophage T7 DNA. This damage is modified by conditions which indicate that reduced oxygen species propagate the free-radical reactions responsible for the strand scission. Benzo[a]pyrenediones are electron-acceptor substrates for NADH dehydrogenase from Clostridium kluyveri. Catalytic amounds of these benzo[a]pyrene metabolites, together with this respiratory enzyme function as cyclic oxidation-reduction couples which link NADH and molecular oxygen in the continuous production of hydrogen peroxide. These data, together with preliminary results with cells in culture, indicate that benzo[a]pyrenediones are potentially harmful metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene, acting by processes which lead to their regeneration rather than depletion; nucleic acid and call damage is probably produced by the reactive reduced oxygen species resulting from such regenerative oxidation-reduction cycles.

The actions of Dexon on the NADH-ferricyanide oxidoreductase and the NADPH oxidase system of electron transfer particles (ETP) from beef heart as well as on the NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase from brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces carlsbergensis Hansen) were investigated. The inhibition of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of ETP and that of the yeast enzyme correspond with respect to the following characteristics: 1) increase in the inhibition, 2) enhancement of the Dexon sensitivity by one order of magnitude after preincubation in the presence of NAD(P)H, 3) irreversibility of the inhibition, 4) no detectable changes in the spectral properties and in coenzyme activity of FMN after acid extraction from Dexon-treated enzyme. The inhibition of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of ETP is diminished by both NAD+ and FMN. However, no interaction of Dexon with NAD(P)H or FMN could be detected in the absence of enzyme or apoenzyme. The concentration of half-inhibition by Dexon for the yeast enzyme corresponds with its FMN concentration. It is proposed that both apoenzyme, NAD(P)H and FMN are involved in the interaction with Dexon. Possible mechanisms of binding are both complanar complexations of the ring systems and a triazene formation between FMNH2 and Dexon. The NADPH oxidase activity of the ETP is partly inhibited; the share inhibited by Dexon may represent the pathway via the transhydrogenase reaction.

This paper presents data on two sisters with a mitochondrial myopathy characterised by weakness, marked exercise intolerance and a fluctuating lactic acidaemia. Both patients also experienced episodes of increased weakness which could be brought on by unaccustomed activity, going without food or by taking small quantities of alcohol. Metabolic studies during exercise showed a marked and sudden rise in blood lactate and pyruvate levels. Biochemical studies in one case showed that mitochondrial respiratory rates were markedly decreased with all NAD-linked substrates tested but were normal with succinate and with TMPD + ascorbate. The mitochondrial cytochrome components were normal as determined by low temperature spectroscopy and the addition of uncoupler did not enhance state 3 respiratory rates utilising NAD-linked substrates. It was concluded, therefore, that the mitochondrial lesion was located at the level of the NADH-CoQ reductase complex.

Previous work has shown that irrespective of the route of exposure methyl isocyanate (MIC) caused acute lactic acidosis in rats (Jeevaratnam et al., Arch. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 19, 314-319, 1990) and the hypoxia was of stagnant type due to tissue hypoperfusion resulting from hypovolemic hypotension in rabbits administered MIC subcutaneously (Jeevarathinam et al., Toxicology 51, 223-240, 1988). The present study was designed to investigate whether MIC could induce histotoxic hyperoxia through its effects on mitochondrial respiration. Male Wistar rats were used for liver mitochondrial and submitochondrial particle (SMP) preparation. Addition of MIC to tightly coupled mitochondria in vitro resulted in stimulation of state 4 respiration, abolition of respiratory control, decrease in ADP/O ratio, and inhibition of state 3 oxidation. The oxidation of NAD(+)-linked substrates (glutamate + malate) was more sensitive (five- to sixfold) to the inhibitory action of MIC than succinate while cytochrome oxidase remained unaffected. MIC induced twofold delay in the onset of anerobiosis, and cytochrome b reduction in SMP with NADH in vitro confirms inhibition of electron transport at complex I region. MIC also stimulated the ATPase activity in tightly coupled mitochondria while lipid peroxidation remained unaffected. As its hydrolysis products, methylamine and N,N'-dimethylurea failed to elicit any change in vitro; these effects reveal that MIC per se acts as an inhibitor of electron transport and a weak uncoupler. Administration of MIC sc at lethal dose caused a similar change only with NAD(+)-linked substrates, reflecting impairment of mitochondrial respiration at complex I region and thereby induction of histotoxic hypoxia in vivo.

O2- production by homogenates and isolated membranes of E. coli has been examined. Approximately one-fourth of the O2- generated by extracts in the presence of NAD (P) H is attributable to the membranes. The autoxidizable membrane component is a member of the respiratory chain, since O2- production is NADH-specific, amplified by cyanide, and absent from membranes lacking the respiratory NADH dehydrogenase. Other respiratory substrates (succinate, 1-phosphoglycerol, D-lactate, and L-lactate) supported O2-production at efficiencies between 3 and 30 O2- released per 10,000 electrons transferred, under conditions of substrate saturation. Membranes from quinoneless mutants quantitatively retain the ability to evolve O2-, indicating that the dehydrogenases are the sites of O2- production. Relative O2- production was greater at low substrate concentrations, probably reflecting the facilitation of unpairing of electrons that may occur when enzymes with multiple redox centers are only partially reduced. Respiration rate, cell volume, rates of membraneous and cytosolic O2- production, and SOD levels were used to calculate a steady-state concentration of O2- between 10(-10) and 10(-9) M in well-fed, aerobic, SOD-proficient cells.

Both the external oxidation of NADH and NADPH in intact potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Bintje) tuber mitochondria and the rotenone-insensitive internal oxidation of NADPH by inside-out submitochondrial particles were dependent on Ca2+. The stimulation was not due to increased permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Neither the membrane potential nor the latencies of NAD(+)-dependent and NADP(+)-dependent malate dehydrogenases were affected by the addition of Ca2+. The pH dependence and kinetics of Ca(2+)-dependent NADPH oxidation by inside-out submitochondrial particles were studied using three different electron acceptors: O2, duroquinone and ferricyanide. Ca2+ increased the activity with all acceptors with a maximum at neutral pH and an additional minor peak at pH 5.8 with O2 and duroquinone. Without Ca2+, the activity was maximal around pH 6. The Km for NADPH was decreased fourfold with ferricyanide and duroquinone, and twofold with O2 as acceptor, upon addition of Ca2+. The Vmax was not changed with ferricyanide as acceptor, but increased twofold with both duroquinone and O2. Half-maximal stimulation of the NADPH oxidation was found at 3 microM free Ca2+ with both O2 and duroquinone as acceptors. This is the first report of a membrane-bound enzyme inside the inner mitochondrial membrane which is directly dependent on micromolar concentrations of Ca2+. Mersalyl and dicumarol, two potent inhibitors of the external NADH dehydrogenase in plant mitochondria, were found to inhibit internal rotenone-insensitive NAD(P)H oxidation, at the same concentrations and in manners very similar to their effects on the external NAD(P)H oxidation.
