An improved light-dependent assay was used to characterize the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH) in thylakoids of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The enzyme was sensitive to rotenone, confirming the involvement of a complex I-type enzyme. NADPH and NADH were equally good substrates for the dehydrogenase. Maximum rates of activity were 10 to 19 &mgr;mol electrons mg-1 chlorophyll h-1, corresponding to about 3% of linear electron-transport rates, or to about 40% of ferredoxin-dependent cyclic electron-transport rates. The NDH was activated by light treatment. After photoactivation, a subsequent light-independent period of about 1 h was required for maximum activation. The NDH could also be activated by incubation of the thylakoids in low-ionic-strength buffer. The kinetics, substrate specificity, and inhibitor profiles were essentially the same for both induction strategies. The possible involvement of ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase (FNR) in the NDH activity could be excluded based on the lack of preference for NADPH over NADH. Furthermore, thenoyltrifluoroacetone inhibited the diaphorase activity of FNR but not the NDH activity. These results also lead to the conclusion that direct reduction of plastoquinone by FNR is negligible.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH):ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the largest multiprotein enzyme complex of the respiratory chain. The nuclear-encoded NDUFS8 (TYKY) subunit of complex I is highly conserved among eukaryotes and prokaryotes and contains two 4Fe4S ferredoxin consensus patterns, which have long been thought to provide the binding site for the iron-sulfur cluster N-2. The NDUFS8 cDNA contains an open reading frame of 633 bp, coding for 210 amino acids. Cycle sequencing of amplified NDUFS8 cDNA of 20 patients with isolated enzymatic complex I deficiency revealed two compound heterozygous transitions in a patient with neuropathologically proven Leigh syndrome. The first mutation was a C236T (P79L), and the second mutation was a G305A (R102H). Both mutations were absent in 70 control alleles and cosegregated within the family. A progressive clinical phenotype proceeding to death in the first months of life was expressed in the patient. In the 19 other patients with enzymatic complex I deficiency, no mutations were found in the NDUFS8 cDNA. This article describes the first molecular genetic link between a nuclear-encoded subunit of complex I and Leigh syndrome.

The proton-pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase is the first of the respiratory chain complexes in many bacteria and mitochondria of most eukaryotes. The bacterial complex consists of 14 different subunits. Seven peripheral subunits bear all known redox groups of complex I, namely one FMN and five EPR-detectable iron-sulfur (FeS) clusters. The remaining seven subunits are hydrophobic proteins predicted to fold into 54 alpha-helices across the membrane. Little is known about their function, but they are most likely involved in proton translocation. The mitochondrial complex contains in addition to the homologues of these 14 subunits at least 29 additional proteins that do not directly participate in electron transfer and proton translocation. A novel redox group has been detected in the Neurospora crassa complex, in an amphipathic fragment of the Escherichia coli complex I and in a related hydrogenase and ferredoxin by means of UV/Vis spectroscopy. This group is made up by the two tetranuclear FeS clusters located on NuoI (the bovine TYKY) which have not been detected by EPR spectroscopy yet. Furthermore, we present evidence for the existence of a novel redox group located in the membrane arm of the complex. Partly reduced complex I equilibrated to a redox potential of -150 mV gives a UV/Vis redox difference spectrum that cannot be attributed to the known cofactors. Electrochemical titration of this absorption reveals a midpoint potential of -80 mV. This group is believed to transfer electrons from the high potential FeS cluster to ubiquinone.

The genome of Pyrococcus furiosus contains the putative mbhABCDEFGHIJKLMN operon for a 14-subunit transmembrane complex associated with a Ni-Fe hydrogenase. Ten ORFs (mbhA-I and mbhM) encode hydrophobic, membrane-spanning subunits. Four ORFs (mbhJKL and mbhN) encode putative soluble proteins. Two of these correspond to the canonical small and large subunit of Ni-Fe hydrogenase, however, the small subunit can coordinate only a single iron-sulfur cluster, corresponding to the proximal [4Fe-4S] cubane. The structural genes for the small and the large subunits, mbhJ and mbhL, are separated in the genome by a third ORF, mbhK, encoding a protein of unknown function without Fe/S binding. The fourth ORF, mbhN, encodes a 2[4Fe-4S] protein. With P. furiosus soluble [4Fe-4S] ferredoxin as the electron donor the membranes produce H2, and this activity is retained in an extracted core complex of the mbh operon when solubilized and partially purified under mild conditions. The properties of this membrane-bound hydrogenase are unique. It is rather resistant to inhibition by carbon monoxide. It also exhibits an extremely high ratio of H2 evolution to H2 uptake activity compared with other hydrogenases. The activity is sensitive to inhibition by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, an inhibitor of NADH dehydrogenase (complex I). EPR of the reduced core complex is characteristic for interacting iron-sulfur clusters with Em approximately -0.33 V. The genome contains a second putative operon, mbxABCDFGHH'MJKLN, for a multisubunit transmembrane complex with strong homology to the mbh operon, however, with a highly unusual putative binding motif for the Ni-Fe-cluster in the large hydrogenase subunit. Kinetic studies of membrane-bound hydrogenase, soluble hydrogenase and sulfide dehydrogenase activities allow the formulation of a comprehensive working hypothesis of H2 metabolism in P. furiosus in terms of three pools of reducing equivalents (ferredoxin, NADPH, H2) connected by devices for transduction, transfer, recovery and safety-valving of energy.

The current knowledge on the Na(+)-translocating NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase of the Na(+)-NQR type from Vibrio alginolyticus, and on Na(+) transport by the electrogenic NADH:Q oxidoreductases from Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (complex I, or NDH-I) is summarized. A general mode of redox-linked Na(+) transport by NADH:Q oxidoreductases is proposed that is based on the electrostatic attraction of a positively charged Na(+) towards a negatively charged, enzyme-bound ubisemiquinone anion in a medium of low dielectricity. A structural model of the [2Fe-2S]- and FAD-carrying NqrF subunit of the Na(+)-NQR from V. alginolyticus based on ferredoxin and ferredoxin:NADP(+) oxidoreductase suggests that a direct participation of the Fe/S center in Na(+) transport is rather unlikely. A ubisemiquinone-dependent mechanism of Na(+) translocation is proposed that results in the transport of two Na(+) ions per two electrons transferred. Whereas this stoichiometry of the pump is in accordance with in vivo determinations of Na(+) transport by the respiratory chain of V. alginolyticus, higher (Na(+) or H(+)) transport stoichiometries are expected for complex I, suggesting the presence of a second coupling site.

By using AFLP technique polymorphism analysis was performed between a fuzzlesslintless mutant line and its isogenic wild-type line, Xuzhou 142. Out of 6,360 bands produced by 64 pairs primers, a fragment, named as CF1, appearing stably in wild-type line, Xuzhou 142. This polymorphism was further verified using several normal fiber varieties and F2, F3 populations from the cross of fuzzless-lintless mutant line with a high-lint-percentage variety Yumian No. 1. The cosegregation of CF1 and fibrogenesis was proved, which suggested that CF1 can be used as a molecular marker for cotton fibrogenesis. The CF1 segment was cloned into PUCm-T Vector and then sequenced. The putative amino acid sequences, is an analogue to phenol hydroxylase alpha subunit, outer surface protein C, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1, NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase, 2-oxoacid ferredoxin oxidoreduct and hypothetical 14.5kD protein.

The proton-pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, also called respiratory complex I, couples the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone with the translocation of protons across the membrane. One FMN and up to 9 iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters participate in the redox reaction. There is discussion that the EPR-detectable Fe/S cluster N2 is involved in proton pumping. However, the assignment of this cluster to a distinct subunit of the complex as well as the number of Fe/S clusters giving rise to the EPR signal are still under debate. Complex I from Escherichia coli consists of 13 polypeptides called NuoA to N. Either subunit NuoB or NuoI could harbor Fe/S cluster N2. Whereas NuoB contains a unique motif for the binding of one Fe/S cluster, NuoI contains a typical ferredoxin motif for the binding of two Fe/S clusters. Individual mutation of all four conserved cysteine residues in NuoB resulted in a loss of complex I activity and of the EPR signal of N2 in the cytoplasmic membrane as well as in the isolated complex. Individual mutations of all eight conserved cysteine residues of NuoI revealed a variable phenotype. Whereas cluster N2 was lost in most NuoI mutants, it was still present in the cytoplasmic membranes of the mutants NuoI C63A and NuoI C102A. N2 was also detected in the complex isolated from the mutant NuoI C102A. From this we conclude that the Fe/S cluster N2 is located on subunit NuoB.

[NiFe] hydrogenases are well-characterized enzymes that have a key function in the H2 metabolism of various microorganisms. In the recent years a subfamily of [NiFe] hydrogenases with unique properties has been identified. The members of this family form multisubunit membrane-bound enzyme complexes composed of at least four hydrophilic and two integral membrane proteins. These six conserved subunits, which built the core of these hydrogenases, have closely related counterparts in energy-conserving NADH:quinone oxidoreductases (complex I). However, the reaction catalyzed by these hydrogenases differs significantly from the reaction catalyzed by complex I. For some of these hydrogenases the physiological role is to catalyze the reduction of H+ with electrons derived from reduced ferredoxins or poly-ferredoxins. This exergonic reaction is coupled to energy conservation by means of electron-transport phosphorylation. Other members of this hydrogenase family mainly function to provide the cell with reduced ferredoxin with H2 as electron donor in a reaction driven by reverse electron transport. As complex I these hydrogenases function as ion pumps and have therefore been designated as energy-converting [NiFe] hydrogenases.

Hydrogenosomes are double-membraned ATP-producing and hydrogen-producing organelles of diverse anaerobic eukaryotes. In some versions of endosymbiotic theory they are suggested to be homologues of mitochondria, but alternative views suggest they arose from an anaerobic bacterium that was distinct from the mitochondrial endosymbiont. Here we show that the 51-kDa and 24-kDa subunits of the NADH dehydrogenase module in complex I, the first step in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, are active in hydrogenosomes of Trichomonas vaginalis. Like mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase, the purified Trichomonas enzyme can reduce a variety of electron carriers including ubiquinone, but unlike the mitochondrial enzyme it can also reduce ferredoxin, the electron carrier used for hydrogen production. The presence of NADH dehydrogenase solves the long-standing conundrum of how hydrogenosomes regenerate NAD+ after malate oxidation. Phylogenetic analyses show that the Trichomonas 51-kDa homologue shares common ancestry with the mitochondrial enzyme. Recruitment of complex I subunits into a H2-producing pathway provides evidence that mitochondria and hydrogenosomes are aerobic and anaerobic homologues of the same endosymbiotically derived organelle.

Mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase (complex I) of plants includes quite a number of plant-specific subunits, some of which exhibit sequence similarity to bacterial gamma-carbonic anhydrases. A homozygous Arabidopsis knockout mutant carrying a T-DNA insertion in a gene encoding one of these subunits (At1g47260) was generated to investigate its physiological role. Isolation of mitochondria and separation of mitochondrial protein complexes by Blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation revealed drastically reduced complex I levels. Furthermore, the mitochondrial I + III2 supercomplex was very much reduced in mutant plants. Remaining complex I had normal molecular mass, suggesting substitution of the At1g47260 protein by one or several of the structurally related subunits of this respiratory protein complex. Immune-blotting experiments using polyclonal antibodies directed against the At1g47260 protein indicated its presence within complex I, the I + III2 supercomplex and smaller protein complexes, which possibly represent subcomplexes of complex I. Changes within the mitochondrial proteome of mutant cells were systematically monitored by fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis using 2D Blue-native/SDS and 2D isoelectric focussing/SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Complex I subunits are largely absent within the mitochondrial proteome. Further mitochondrial proteins are reduced in mutant plants, like mitochondrial ferredoxin, others are increased, like formate dehydrogenase. Development of mutant plants was normal under standard growth conditions. However, a suspension cell culture generated from mutant plants exhibited clearly reduced growth rates and respiration. In summary, At1g47260 is important for complex I assembly in plant mitochondria and respiration. A role of At1g47260 in mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism is supported by micro-array analyses.
