Two types of the NADH-quinone reductase were isolated from Thermus thermophilus HB-8 membranes, by use of the nonionic detergent, dodecyl beta-maltoside, and NAD-agarose affinity, DEAE-cellulose, hydroxyapatite, and Superose 6 column chromatography. One of these (NADH dehydrogenase 1) is a complex composed of 10 unlike polypeptides, and the other (NADH dehydrogenase 2) exhibits a single band (Mr 53,000) upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The NADH-ubiquinone-1 reductase activity of the isolated NADH dehydrogenase 1 was about 14 times higher than that of the dodecyl beta-maltoside extract and partially rotenone sensitive. The NADH-ubiquinone-1 reductase activity of the isolated NADH dehydrogenase 2 was about 30-fold as high as that of the dodecyl beta-maltoside extract and rotenone insensitive. The purified NADH dehydrogenase 1 contained noncovalently bound FMN, non-heme iron, and acid-labile sulfide. The ratio of FMN to non-heme iron to acid-labile sulfide was 1:11-12:7-9. The high content of iron and labile sulfide is suggestive of the presence of several iron-sulfur clusters. The purified NADH dehydrogenase 2 contained noncovalently bound FAD and no non-heme iron or acid-labile sulfide. The activities of both NADH dehydrogenases were stable at temperatures of greater than or equal to 80 degrees C. The occurrence of two distinct types of NADH dehydrogenase as a common feature in the membranes of various aerobic bacteria is discussed.

Hepatocyte cytotoxicity caused by substituted benzoquinones was associated with increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. p-Benzoquinone-induced hepatotoxicity was enhanced when the hepatocytes were loaded with Ca2+ by preincubation with ATP. A similar order of potency of the substituted benzoquinones in releasing Ca2+ from isolated mitochondria and inducing hepatocyte cytotoxicity was found; in decreasing order, this was 2-Br-, unsubstituted-, 2-CH3-, 2,6-(CH3O)2-, 2,6-(CH3)2-, 2,5-(CH3)2-, 2,3,5-(CH3)3-, and 2,3,5,6-(CH3)4-benzoquinones (duroquinone). The cellular products of quinone metabolism, hydroquinones and glutathione conjugates, did not cause mitochondrial Ca2+ release. Benzoquinone-induced mitochondrial Ca2+ release was preceded by GSH conjugate formation and NAD(P)H oxidation but followed by mitochondrial swelling. With duroquinone, a slow GSH and NADPH oxidation preceded Ca2+ release, but GSH oxidation did not occur with Se-deficient mitochondria lacking glutathione peroxidase activity. Cyanide-insensitive respiration was also observed with duroquinone but not with benzoquinone, suggesting that duroquinone undergoes redox cycling. GSH was depleted by both arylation and oxidation with 2,6-(CH3O)2-, 2,6-(CH3)2-, 2,5(CH3)2-, and 2,3,5-(CH3)3-benzoquinones. Benzoquinone concentrations that totally depleted GSH did not cause Ca2+ release until intramitochondrial NAD(P)H was oxidized. Ca2+ release was also prevented when NAD(P)H generation was stimulated by the presence of isocitrate or 3-hydroxybutyrate. This suggests that mitochondrial Ca2+ release is associated with NAD(P)H oxidation catalyzed by NADH dehydrogenase with benzoquinone or by the glutathione peroxidase-glutathione reductase system with duroquinone.

The rate of irreversible loss of mitochondrial phosphorylating respiratory function with NAD-linked substrates during zero flow myocardial autolysis at 37 degrees C was gradual and relatively linear with time, progressing at about 1% of the control activity per minute. State 3 respiratory rates and initial rates of inner membrane potential development dropped off in close parallel with one another as well as with NADH-coenzyme Q (CoQ) reductase activity, suggesting that oxygen uptake as well as membrane potential development were rate limited by the increasing impairment of electron flow through complex I. Although the initial rate of membrane potential development dropped off gradually, the time course for the loss of the ability to ultimately develop and hold a full potential was slower still, there being only a moderate impairment of this ability at 80 min of autolysis. This sustained ability to develop and hold a membrane potential after more than 1 h of autolysis suggested that inner membrane leakiness contributed little or not at all to the functional impairment observed. The irreversible loss of mitochondrial inner membrane competence emerged in these studies as a relatively late development in the sequence of cellular alterations which characterize the myocardial ischemic process.

The effect of asphyxia and subsequent resumption of respiration on the content of adenine nucleotides and some amino acids in heart tissue and mitochondria, as well as respiration of heart mitochondria was studied in rats. The depression of cardiac contractile function during asphyxia showed a better correlation with losses in mitochondrial adenine nucleotides (ATP + ADP + AMP) than those in cardiac tissue. The decrease in the heart work index was accompanied by a decrease in state 3 respiration with glutamate and malate as well as uncoupled respiration with these substrates. This did not occur with succinate. Nonphosphorylating (state 4) respiratory rates and ADP/O ratios were slightly affected by asphyxia, when respiratory substrates of both types were used. The decreased level of glutamic acid in the tissue and mitochondria of asphyxic hearts was simultaneously observed with a significant increase of alanine in cardiac tissue and of aspartic acid in the mitochondria. The losses of intramitochondrial ATP and respiratory activity with NAD-dependent substrates during asphyxia were associated with a reduction of glutamic acid level in mitochondria. The recovery of cardiac function during resumption of respiration was related to the restoration of mitochondrial respiration supported by glutamate and malate, as well as to the restoration of mitochondrial adenine nucleotides and glutamic acid. The results suggest that the depression of cardiac function caused by acute respiratory hypoxia may be attributed to impairment of electron transport, particularly in complex I of the respiratory chain and changes in metabolism of glutamic acid.

The effect of acute hypoxia on adenine nucleotides, glutamate, aspartate, alanine and respiration of heart mitochondria was studied in rats. The losses of intramitochondrial adenine nucleotides (ATP+ADP+AMP) during hypoxia were related to depression of state 3 respiration supported by glutamate and malate, as well as decrease in uncoupled respiration. Hypoxia had less prominent effect on succinate-dependent state 3 respiration. Non-phosphorylating (state 4) respiratory rates and ADP/O ratios were slightly affected by oxygen deprivation. Glutamate fall in tissue and mitochondria of hypoxic hearts was concomitant with significant increase in tissue alanine and mitochondrial aspartate. The losses of intramitochondrial ATP and respiratory activity with NAD-dependent substrates during hypoxia were related to a decrease in mitochondrial glutamate. The results suggest that hypoxia-induced impairment of complex I of respiratory chain and a loss of glutamate from the matrix may limit energy-producing capacity of heart mitochondria.

We examined the activity of heme synthesis when ferrochelatase purified from rat liver mitochondria was incubated with ferric chloride and mesoporphyrin IX as substrates in the absence of reducing reagents. In the presence of the NADH dehydrogenase-rich fraction and NAD(P)H, mesoheme was synthesized; the addition of FMN or FAD markedly enhanced the activity. These results indicate that the NAD(P) H-oxidizing system reduces ferric ion to ferrous ion. This ferrous ion is then utilized for heme synthesis by ferrochelatase. The effect of lead on NAD(P)H-dependent heme synthesis was also examined. Lead reduced NAD(P)H-dependent heme synthesis by 50% at 10(-5) M, but had no effect when ferrous ion was used as substrate. Zn-Porphyrin synthesis was not changed in the presence of Pb2+ at 10(-5) M. Thus, heme synthesis from ferric ion was more susceptible to Pb2+ than heme synthesis from ferrous ion.

A membrane-associated NADH dehydrogenase from beef neutrophils was purified to homogeneity, using detergent (cholate plus Triton X-100) extraction and chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, agarose-hexane-NAD, and hydroxylapatite. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed an apparent subunit molecular weight of 17,500, but the enzyme was highly aggregated (Mr greater than 450,000) in nondenaturing gels containing 0.1% Triton X-100. The protein band in nondenaturing gels was also stained for activity using NADH and nitro blue tetrazolium. The enzyme showed greatest electron acceptor activity with ferricyanide (100%), followed by cytochrome c (3.5%), dichloroindophenol (2.7%), and cytochrome b5 (0.34%). No activity was seen with oxygen. The Km values for NADH and ferricyanide were 18 and 9.5 microM, respectively, and NAD+ was a weak competitive inhibitor (Ki = 118 microM). No activity was seen with NADPH. No effects were seen with mitochondrial respiratory inhibitors such as azide, cyanide, or rotenone, but p-chloromercuribenzoate was strongly inhibitory and N-ethylmaleimide was weakly inhibitory. No free flavin was detectable in enzyme preparations. Based upon kinetic, physical, and inhibition properties, this NADH dehydrogenase differs from those previously described in microsomes and erythrocyte plasma membrane.

The cationic fluorescent dyes, berberines, have been observed to inhibit NAD-linked respiration in rat liver mitochondria. Low concentrations inhibit electron transport in the NAD-ubiquinone span after penetration into mitochondria. More hydrophobic alkyl derivatives proved to be stronger inhibitors showing more rapid onset of inhibition. The inhibition was totally dependent on the energization of the membrane; however, the addition of a hydrophobic anion stimulated the inhibition effects in uncoupled mitochondria. Substantially higher concentrations of berberines are needed for the inhibition of the oxidation of succinate. The excess of dye interacting with surface dipoles in the energized state can inhibit the energy transduction through the complex bc1. On the basis of the difference in the rate of fluorescence response when berberines are added to coupled mitochondria and the corresponding inhibition effects, the presence minimally of two binding sites was suggested. The dye bound on the outer surface is highly fluorescent and inhibits the energy transduction if added in excess. The remaining dye interacting with NADH dehydrogenase does not fluoresce. The accumulation of alkylberberine in mitochondria results in additional effects in the region of cytochrome b the nature of which is not fully understood.

The fluorescence signal of flavoproteins of rat liver mitochondria was investigated to determine the respective contributions of the various flavoenzymes. About 50% of the overall signal were found to be NAD-linked and caused by alpha-lipoamide dehydrogenase flavin (Em7.4 = -283 mV). Roughly 25% were due to a flavoprotein reducible in a non-NAD-linked reaction. This fluorescent flavoenzyme (Em7.4 = -52 mV) has been tentatively identified as a flavoprotein of the fatty-acid-oxidizing system, most probably the electron transfer flavoprotein. The remaining 25% of the signal are accounted for by flavoenzymes which are reducible by dithionite only. These flavoenzymes were not involved in the flavoprotein fluorescence alterations accompanying changes in electron flow through the respiratory chain. Contributions of other mitochondrial flavoproteins such as succinate dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, proline dehydrogenase, and choline oxidase, to the overall flavin fluorescence signal of isolated rat liver mitochondria can be neglected.

Monodehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.6.5.4) was purified from cucumber fruit to a homogeneous state as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The cucumber monodehydroascorbate reductase was a monomer with a molecular weight of 47,000. It contained 1 mol of FAD/mol of enzyme which was reduced by NAD(P)H and reoxidized by monodehydroascorbate. The enzyme had an exposed thiol group whose blockage with thiol reagents inhibited the electron transfer from NAD(P)H to the enzyme FAD. Both NADH and NADPH served as electron donors with Km values of 4.6 and 23 microM, respectively, and Vmax of 200 mol of NADH and 150 mol of NADPH oxidized mol of enzyme-1 s-1. The Km for monodehydroascorbate was 1.4 microM. The amino acid composition of the enzyme is presented. In addition to monodehydroascorbate, the enzyme catalyzed the reduction of ferricyanide and 2,6-dichloroindophenol but showed little reactivity with calf liver cytochrome b5 and horse heart cytochrome c. The kinetic data suggested a ping-pong mechanism for the monodehydroascorbate reductase-catalyzed reaction. Cucumber monodehydroascorbate reductase occurs in soluble form and can be distinguished from NADPH dehydrogenase, NADH dehydrogenase, DT diaphorase, microsome-bound NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase, and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase by its molecular weight, amino acid composition, and specificity of electron acceptors and donors.
