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.

Membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli prepared by osmotic lysis of lysozyme ethylenediaminetetracetate (EDTA) spheroplasts have approximately 60% of the total membrane-bound reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase (ED 1.6.99.3) and Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (EC 3.6.1.3) activities exposed on the outer surface of the inner membrane. Absorption of these vesicles with antiserum prepared against the purified soluble Mg2+-ATPase resulted in agglutination of approximately 95% of the inner membrane vesicles, as determined by dehydrogenase activity, and about 50% of the total membrane protein. The unagglutinated vesicles lacked all dehydrogenase activity and may consist of outer membrane. Lysozyme-EDTA vesicles actively transported calcium ion, using either NADH or adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as energy source. However, neither D-lactate nor reduced phenazine methosulfate energized calcium uptake, suggesting that the observed calcium uptake was not due to a small population of everted vesicles. Transport of calcium driven by either NADH or ATP was inhibited by simultaneous addition of D-lactate or reduced phenazine methosulfate. Proline transport driven by D-lactate oxidation was inhibited by either NADH oxidation or ATP hydrolysis. These results suggest that the portion of the total population of vesicles capable of active transport, i.e., the inner membrane vesicles, are functionally a homogeneous population but cannot be categorized as either right-side-out or everted, since activities normally associated with only one side of the inner membrane can be found on both sides of the membrane of these vesicles. Moreover, the data indicate that oxidation of NADH or hydrolysis of ATP by externally localized NADH dehydrogenase or Mg2+-ATPase establishes a protonmotive force of the opposite polarity from that established through D-lactate oxidation.

An Escherichia coli mutant (tolI) previously shown to be tolerant to colicins Ia and Ib is defective in several functions of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. When compared with its parental strain, X36, whole cells of tolI show reduced rates of respiration with succinate, malate, or lactate as the substrate but near-normal rates with glucose or glycerol. Cell membrane preparations prepared from tolI cells exhibit reduced succinate and D-lactate oxidase activity but elevated levels of reduced-form nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase. tolI cells have reduced levels of succinate and D-lactate dehydrogenase but normal levels of NADH dehydrogenase. Glycerol-grown tolI cells and membrane vesicles prepared from such cells are defective in the active transport of several amino acids and thiomethyl-beta-D-galactoside; however, they accumulate higher levels of alpha-methylglucoside when compared with X36 whole cells or vesicles. Although tolI cells adsorb less colicin Ia at high colicin concentrations than do X36 cells, it is shown that the adsorption of an Ia molecule to tolI cells has a lower probability of eliciting cell death than does Ia adsorption to strain X36 cells. It is concluded that a single mutation can lead to an alteration in several aspects of cytoplasmic membrane function and colicin I sensitivity.

In isolated plant mitochondria the oxidation of both succinate and exogenous NADH responded in the expected manner to the addition of ADP or uncoupling agents, and the uncoupled rate of respiration was often in excess of the rate obtained in the presence of ADP. However, the oxidation of NAD+-linked substrates responded in a much more complex manner to the addition of ADP or uncoupling agents such as carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone to mitochondria oxidizing pyruvate plus malate failed to result in a reliable stimulation; this uncoupled rate could be stimulated by adding AMP or ADP in the presence of oligomycin or bongkrekic acid. Spectrophometric measurements showed that the addition of AMP or ADP resulted in the simultaneous oxidation of endogenous nicotinamide nucleotide and the reduction of cytochrome b. ADP was only effective in bringing about these changes in redox state in the presence of Mg2+ whereas AMP did not require Mg2+. It was concluded that AMP activated the flow of electrons from endogenous nicotinamide nucleotide to cytochrome b, possible at the level of the internal NADH dehydrogenase.

We report a patient with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and strokelike episodes treated with riboflavin and nicotinamide for 18 months, during which time previously frequent encephalopathic spells ceased. To confirm clinical benefit, we withdrew treatment and monitored response with muscle 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and sural nerve conduction studies. Of three prospectively chosen MRS variables, two changed coincidentally with clinical end points; phosphocreatine (PCr)/adenosine triphosphate recovery rates fell in parallel with sural nerve sensory amplitudes, and a drop in muscle bioenergetic efficiency (relationship of inorganic phosphate/PCr to the accelerating force of contracting muscle) coincided with development of encephalopathy. Investigations revealed a deficiency of respiratory complex I and mutation of the mitochondrial tRNA(Leu)(UUR). We suggest that a defective cellular energy state in mitochondrial disease may be partially treatable and that changes seen in appropriate muscle spectroscopy studies may parallel improvement in brain and peripheral nerve function.

We measured metabolites of tyrosine and tryptophan (TRP) in the frontal cortex, putamen (PT), and pars compacta of the substantia nigra (SN) of control and Parkinson's disease (PD) brain tissues. Dopamine concentrations were significantly decreased in the PT and SN of PD tissue, regardless of L-dopa therapy. However, 3-O-methyldopa (3OMD) concentration showed a significant increase in each region of the PD group treated with L-dopa (PD[+]) as compared with both the control group and the PD group without L-dopa therapy (PD[-]). Therefore, 3OMD concentration appears to be a reliable marker of L-dopa therapy. Serotonin concentration was lower in each region of the PD groups than in the control group. Although the magnitude of decrease was greater in the PD(+) group, there was no statistical significance between the two PD groups. The same patterns of decrease were present in kynurenine (KYN) and kynurenic acid (KYA) concentrations, but the molar ratios of TRP to KYN and KYN to KYA were unchanged among three groups. In contrast, 3-hydroxykynurenine (3OHKY) concentration was increased in the PT PD(-) group and in three regions of the PD(+) group. Since the KYN pathway leads to formation of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH), the present results may be a further indication of a defect in NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) in mitochondria in PD.

In order to distinguish the pathways involved in the oxidation of matrix NADH in plant mitochondria, the oxidation of NADH and nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide (reduced form) was investigated in submitochondrial particles prepared from beetroot (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Derwent Globe) and soybeans (Glycine max L. cv. Bragg). Nicotinamide-hypoxanthine-dinucleotide(reduced form)-oxidase activity was more strongly inhibited by rotenone than the NADH-oxidase activity but both of the rotenone-inhibited activities could be stimulated by adding ubiquinone-1. The corresponding ubiquinone-1-reductase activities were inhibited by rotenone (to 69%) and further inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (to 79%), whilst the K3Fe(CN)6-reductase activities were not sensitive to either rotenone or N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Immunological analysis of mitochondrial proteins using an antiserum raised against purified beetroot complex I indicated very few differences between soybean and fresh and aged beetroot mitochondria, despite their varying sensitivities to rotenone. We confirm that there are two dehydrogenases capable of oxidising internal NADH and that only one of these, namely complex I, is inhibited by rotenone. Further, we conclude that complex I has two potential sites of quinone reduction, both sensitive to N,N'-dicyclohexycarbodiimide inhibition but only one of which is sensitive to rotenone inhibition.

Recent studies have shown that intrarectal administration of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) in ethanol or intramural injection of TNBS in saline produces an acute and possibly chronic colitis in rats. It has been assumed that interstitial TNBS initiates the inflammatory response via macrophage-mediated recognition and degradation of TNBS-modified mucosal cells and proteins. However, it is known that certain flavoproteins and/or reductants interact with compounds containing the nitro functional group to generate pro-inflammatory, nitrogen-centered free radicals and reactive oxygen metabolites. The objective of this study was to assess the ability of the rat colon, using either colon homogenates, isolated colonocytes, or intestinal interstitial fluid, to produce reactive oxygen species via enzymatic and/or nonenzymatic metabolism of TNBS. It was found that the addition of TNBS (1 mmol/L) to the 10,000 x g supernatant of rat colon homogenates increased the rate of superoxide production from normally undetectable levels to 2.6 +/- 0.23 nmol.min-1.mg protein-1. Addition of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form (NADH; 1 mmol/L) to colon homogenates containing TNBS significantly enhanced superoxide production to 10.4 +/- 0.9 nmol.min-1.mg-1. Similarly, addition of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form (NADPH; 1 mmol/L) to colon extracts containing TNBS produced an even further increase in the rate of superoxide formation to 25.2 +/- 1.1 nmol.min-1.mg-1. Addition of NADH or NADPH to the colon homogenate in the absence of TNBS produced no detectable superoxide formation, suggesting that TNBS was required for the enhanced oxidative metabolism. In a separate series of experiments, it was found that isolated colonocytes produced small but significant amounts of superoxide (3.15 +/- 0.6 nmol/2 x 10(6) cells) that were significantly increased in the presence of ethanol to 6.55 +/- 1.14 nmol/2 x 10(6) cells. Using purified preparations of two flavoproteins found in the rat colon, it was shown that the addition of TNBS (1 mmol/L) to purified NADH dehydrogenase or glutathione reductase increased the rate of superoxide formation by these enzymes from normally undetectable levels to 1.6 nmol/min and 1.2 nmol/min, respectively. In addition, it was found that intestinal interstitial fluid (lymph) initiated redox cycling of TNBS such that 28.1 +/- 1.6 nmol of oxygen was consumed per minute per milliliter of lymph. This increase in oxygen consumption was inhibited by the addition of superoxide dismutase and catalase. One possible metabolite involved in both mucosal and lymph-mediated metabolism of TNBS is ascorbic acid.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The control exerted in vivo by mitochondrial functions on the dynamics of glycolysis was investigated in starved yeast cells that were metabolizing glucose semianaerobically. Glycolytic oscillations were triggered after a pulse of glucose by inhibition of mitochondrial respiration with KCN, myxothiazol and antimycin A or in mutants in the bc1 complex (ubiquinol:cytochrome c reductase) that were largely deficient in respiratory capacity. Inhibition of the adenine nucleotide translocator by preincubation with bongkrekic acid also triggered a train of damped sinusoidal oscillations after glucose addition. The oscillations consisted of cycles of reduction and oxidation of the intracellular pool of nicotinamide nucleotides with periods of 45 s to 1 min and amplitudes of 0.8 mM or lower. Preincubation with the uncoupler carbonyl cyamide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP) annihilated cyanide-induced oscillations of NAD(P)H. Evidence for de-energization of mitochondrial membranes in vivo was obtained by mitochondrial staining with dimethylaminostyryl-methyl-pyridiniumiodine (DASPMI) of starved cells. The low rates of NADH reoxidation shown by respiratory mutants and the FCCP-treated X2180 strain open up the possibility that mitochondrial dehydrogenases also control glycolytic oscillations. Low rates of cytosolic NADH reoxidation induced by pyrazole, an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, were also associated with the disappearance of glycolytic oscillations. From experimental evidence and model calculations we conclude that the modulation of the levels of cytosolic ATP by mitochondrial functions in turn modulates the approach of the dynamic behavior of glycolysis to an oscillatory domain. The mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase and the glycolytic steps associated with NADH reoxidation downstream from pyruvate appear to provide another control level of glycolysis dynamics in vivo.

We report the clinical, electroencephalographic, neurophysiologic, and neuroimaging findings in eight children with infant-onset progressive myoclonus epilepsy, all of whom had muscle biopsies performed as as part of the diagnostic evaluation. Each child had myoclonic seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and neurologic regression or marked developmental delay. Four children died before 3 years of age. Electroencephalograms in seven children showed an abnormally slow background with bilateral multifocal paroxysmal discharges but no burst suppression pattern or photoparoxysmal response. Muscle biopsy specimens were submitted for histopathology and respiratory-chain enzyme studies. Nonspecific abnormalities on light microscopy or electron microscopy were found in seven samples, including increased subsarcolemmal deposits of mitochondria or morphologic mitochondrial changes, but no ragged-red fibers were seen. Respiratory-chain enzyme studies were performed on five samples and in three children (all of whom had a history of elevated lactate in serum or cerebrospinal fluid), there were low levels of rotenone-sensitive reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) cytochrome c reductase characteristic of a defect in the complex I part of the respiratory-chain pathway. This study has shown that infant-onset progressive myoclonus epilepsy can be distinguished from other myoclonic epilepsy syndromes of infancy by clinical and electrographic features. Furthermore, respiratory-chain enzyme defects are a relatively common cause of infant-onset progressive myoclonus epilepsy. The absence of ragged-red fibers on muscle histopathology does not preclude a mitochondrial enzyme abnormality.
