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.

The reductant dependence of iron mobilization from isolated rabbit reticulocyte endosomes containing diferric transferrin is reported. The kinetic effects of acidification by a H(+)-ATPase are eliminated by incubating the endosomes at pH 6.0 in the presence of 15 microM FCCP to acidify the intravesicular milieu and to dissociate 59Fe(III) from transferrin. In the absence of reductants, iron is not released from the vesicles, and iron leakage is negligible. The second-order dependence of rate constants and amounts of 59Fe mobilized from endosomes using ascorbate, ferrocyanide, or NADH are consistent with reversible mechanisms. The estimated apparent first-order rate constant for mobilization by ascorbate is (2.7 +/- 0.4) x 10(-3) s-1 in contrast to (3.2 +/- 0.1) x 10(-4) s-1 for NADH and (3.5 +/- 0.6) x 10(-4) s-1 for ferrocyanide. These results support models where multiple reactions are involved in complex processes leading to iron transfer and membrane translocation. A type II NADH dehydrogenase (diaphorase) is present on the endosome outer membrane. The kinetics of extravesicular ferricyanide reduction indicate a bimolecular-bimolecular steady-state mechanism with substrate inhibition. Ferricyanide inhibition of 59Fe mobilization is not detected. Significant differences between mobilization and ferricyanide reduction kinetics indicate that the diaphorase is not involved in 59Fe(III) reduction. Sequential additions of NADH followed by ascorbate or vice versa indicate a minimum of two sites of 59Fe(III) residence; one site available to reducing equivalents from ascorbate and a different site available to NADH. Sequential additions using ferrocyanide and the other reductants suggest interactions among sites available for reduction. Inhibition of ascorbate-mediated mobilization by DCCD and enhancement of ferrocyanide and NADH-mediated mobilization suggest a role for a moiety with characteristics of a proton pore similar to that of the H(+)-ATPase. These data provide significant constraints on models of iron reduction, translocation, and mobilization by endocytic vesicles.

In the cattle filarial parasite Setaria digitata the mitochondria like particles have been shown to possess NADH dependent fumarate reduction coupled with site I electron transport associated phosphorylation. This reduction is catalysed by the fumarate reductase system. The Km for fumarate is 1.47 mM and that for NADH is 0.33 mM. This activity is sensitive to rotenone, antimycin A and o-Hydroxy diphenyl. One ATP is produced for each pair of electrons transferred to fumarate. The fumarate reductase system consisting of NADH-coenzyme Q reductase, cytochrome b like component(s) and succinate dehydrogenase/fumarate reductase is thus very important and hence specific inhibitors of the system may prove useful in the effective control of filariasis.

The structural gene of the Paracoccus denitrificans NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase encoding a homologue of the 75-kDa subunit of bovine complex I (NQO3) has been located and sequenced. It is located approximately 1 kbp downstream of the gene coding for the NADH-binding subunit (NQO1) [Xu, X., Matsuno-Yagi, A., and Yagi, T. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 6422-6428] and is composed of 2019 base pairs and codes for 673 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 73,159. The M(r) 66,000 polypeptide of the isolated Paracoccus NADH dehydrogenase complex is assigned the NQO3 designation on the basis of N-terminal protein sequence analysis, amino acid analysis, and immuno-cross-reactivity. The encoded protein contains a putative tetranuclear iron-sulfur cluster (probably cluster N4) and possibly a binuclear iron-sulfur cluster. An unidentified reading frame (URF3) which is composed of 396 base pairs and possibly codes for 132 amino acid residues was found between the NQO1 and NQO3 genes. When partial DNA sequencing of the regions downstream of the NQO3 gene was performed, sequences homologous to the mitochondrial ND-1, ND-5, and ND-2 gene products of bovine complex I were found, suggesting that the gene cluster carrying the Paracoccus NADH dehydrogenase complex contains not only structural genes encoding water-soluble subunits but also structural genes encoding hydrophobic subunits.

Defective complex I activity has been linked to Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, but little is known of the regional distribution of this enzyme in the brain. We have developed a quantitative autoradiographic assay using [3H]dihydrorotenone ([3H]DHR) to label and localize complex I in brain tissue sections. Binding was specific and saturable and in the cerebellar molecular layer had a KD of 11.5 +/- 1.3 nM and a Bmax of 11.0 +/- 0.4 nCi/mg of tissue. Unlabeled rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion competed effectively for DHR binding sites. Binding was markedly enhanced by 100 microM NADH. The distribution of complex I in brain, as revealed by DHR autoradiography, is unique but somewhat similar to that of cytochrome oxidase (complex IV). This assay may provide new insight into the roles of complex I in brain function and neurodegeneration.

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)

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.

Cytochromes c6 from three cyanobacteria were tested as substrates for membranous cyt. c oxidase(aa3) of Anacystis and Synechocystis using intact spheroplasts or isolated plasma(CM) and thylakoid(ICM) membranes. Neither spheroplasts nor CM/ICM gave significant O2 uptake rates with NADH without added cyt. c. Horse cyt. c (at low ionic strength) or cyt. c6 from Anacystis, Synechocystis or Microcystis (at high ionic strength) supported substantial HCN- & CO-sensitive NADH oxidase activity, consistent with in vivo O2 uptake. Cyanobacterial respiratory electron transport involves NADH dehydrogenase(fpN), plastoquinone, cyt. b/c(f), cyt. c6 & cyt. aa3, in both CM & ICM. In ICM, fpN and cyt. aa3 are functionally replaced in the light by PS II and PS I, respectively. In both membranes, cyt. c6 is an obligatory electron donor to cyt. aa3 &/or to P700. Respiratory action of acidic cyt. c6 (in unicellular species) may be unmasked only under conditions of elevated ionic strength.

Neutrophil myeloperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and chloride constitute a potent antimicrobial system with multiple effects on microbial cytoplasmic membranes. Among these is inhibition of succinate-dependent respiration mediated, principally, through inactivation of succinate dehydrogenase. Succinate-dependent respiration is inhibited at rates that correlate with loss of microbial viability, suggesting that loss of respiration might contribute to the microbicidal event. Because respiration in Escherichia coli can be mediated by dehydrogenases other than succinate dehydrogenase, the effects of the myeloperoxidase system on other membrane dehydrogenases were evaluated by histochemical activity stains of electrophoretically separated membrane proteins. Two bands of succinate dehydrogenase activity proved the most susceptible to inactivation with complete loss of staining activity within 20 min, under the conditions employed. A group with intermediate susceptibility, consisting of lactate, malate, glycerol-3-phosphate, and dihydroorotate dehydrogenases as well as three bands of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, was almost completely inactivated within 30 min. The relatively resistant group, including the dehydrogenases for glutamate, NADH, and NADPH and the remaining bands of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, retained substantial amounts of diaphorase activity for up to 60 min of incubation with the myeloperoxidase system. The differential effects of myeloperoxidase on dehydrogenase inactivation could not be correlated with published enzyme contents of flavin or iron-sulfur centers, potential targets of myeloperoxidase-derived oxidants. Despite the relative resistance of NADH dehydrogenase/diaphorase activity to myeloperoxidase-mediated inactivation, electron transport particles prepared from E. coli incubated for 20 min with the myeloperoxidase system lost 55% of their NADH oxidase activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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.
