The ability of injected Photofrin II, a preparation enriched in hydrophobic dihaematoporphyrin ethers and esters, to photosensitize selected mitochondrial and cytosolic enzymes during illumination in vitro was examined. Preparations of R3230AC mammary tumours, obtained at designated times after a single dose of Photofrin II, displayed a time-dependent photosensitivity. Maximum inhibition of mitochondrial enzymes occurred at 24 hours post-treatment, whereas no inhibition of the cytosolic enzyme, pyruvate kinase, was observed over the 168 hour time course. At the selected 24 hour time point, mitochondrial enzyme photosensitisation was found to be drug dose (5.25 mg kg-1 Photofrin II) and light dose dependent, the rank order of inhibition being cytochrome c oxidase greater than F0F1 ATPase greater than succinate dehydrogenase greater than NADH dehydrogenase. We conclude that porphyrin species contained in Photofrin II accumulate in mitochondria of tumour cells in vivo and produce maximum photosensitisation at 24-72 hours after administration to tumour-bearing animals. The time course observed here with Photofrin II is similar to that seen previously with the more heterogenous haematoporphyrin derivative preparation in this in vivo-in vitro model.

Impairment of mitochondrial respiration in early myocardial ischemia was studied with special reference to myocellular irreversible injury. The technique used was total ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, followed by reconstruction of coronary blood flow, in the dog. State 3 respiratory activity reduced significantly to 76% of that of the non-ischemic myocardium in subendocardial muscle (Endo) as early as 30 min after occlusion, and at 60 min to 84% in the subepicardium (Epi). The activity was not recovered by reperfusion. The activity of complex I of sonicated submitochondrial particles decreased at 30 min to 67% in Endo and at 60 min to 71% in Epi, and was not recovered by reperfusion. Complex II and IV activities were kept in the control level until 60 min of ischemia. DNP-stimulated ATPase activity reduced to 79% in Endo at 15 min and to 70% in Epi at 30 min, but recovered significantly by reperfusion until 30 min of ischemia. Mitochondrial respiratory activity was impaired irreversibly in ischemia for 30 min in Endo and this spread to Epi later. Degradation of complex I is considered to be one of the causes of myocardial irreversibility in early ischemia.

In this paper selected data from 43 patients with histologically defined mitochondrial myopathies who have been investigated biochemically as previously described are presented. The defect was localized to NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) in 22 cases and to ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (complex III) in a further 10. Two patients had defects of more than one respiratory enzyme complex and another had a deficiency of H+-ATPase. The lesion was not localized in two cases and in vitro mitochondrial studies were normal in five cases.

A transcribed segment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from Nicotiana tabacum contains the F0-ATPase subunit 9 gene, an open reading frame with homology to the E. coli small subunit ribosomal protein S13 and an open reading frame with homology to a portion of the mammalian "URF 1" protein, recently shown to be a component of the NADH:ubiquinone reductase complex (NADH:Q 1). The transcriptional patterns of the tobacco ATPase 9 gene and S13-like open reading frame share eight RNA species indicating the two sequences are part of the same transcriptional unit. A maize mtDNA fragment contains the S13 homologous sequence and the NADH:Q 1 homologous sequence in an orientation similar to tobacco. The S13-like sequence is present as a single copy in maize and tobacco, as two copies in wheat, and is absent in pea and bean. We discuss the distribution and orientation of the S13-like and "URF 1"-like sequences and the possibility that they are active genes.

The mechanism of coupling between mitochondrial ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) and nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (EC 1.6.1.1) was studied in reconstituted liposomes containing both purified enzymes and compared with their behavior in submitochondrial particles. In order to investigate the mode of coupling between the transhydrogenase and the ATPase by the double-inhibitor and inhibitor-uncoupler methods, suitable inhibitors of transhydrogenase and ATPase were selected. Phenylarsine oxide and A3'-O-(3-(N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino)propionyl)-NAD+ were used as transhydrogenase inhibitors, whereas of the various ATPase inhibitors tested aurovertin was found to be the most convenient. The inhibition of the ATP-driven transhydrogenase activity was proportional to the inhibition of both the ATPase and the transhydrogenase. Inhibitor-uncoupler titrations showed an increased sensitivity of the coupled reaction towards carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP)--an uncoupler that preferentially uncouples localized interactions, according to Herweijer et al. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 849 (1986) 276-287)--when the primary pump was partially inhibited. However, when the secondary pump was partially inhibited the sensitivity towards FCCP remained unchanged. Similar results were obtained with submitochondrial particles. These results are in contrast to those obtained previously with the ATP-driven reverse electron flow. In addition, the amount of uncoupler required for uncoupling of the ATP-driven transhydrogenase was found to be similar to that required for the stimulation of the ATPase activity, both in reconstituted vesicles and in submitochondrial particles. Uncoupling of reversed electron flow to NAD+ required much less uncoupler. On the basis of these results, it is proposed that, in agreement with the chemiosmotic model, the interaction between ATPase and transhydrogenase in reconstituted vesicles as well as in submitochondrial particles occurs through the delta mu H+. In contrast, the energy transfer between ATPase and NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase appears to occur via a more direct interaction, according to the above-mentioned results by Herweijer et al.

The nucleotide sequence (56,410 base-pairs) of the large single-copy region of chloroplast DNA from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has been determined. The sequence starts from one end (JLA) of the large single-copy region and encompasses genes for 21 tRNAs, six ATPase subunits (atpA, atpB, atpE, atpF, atpH and atpI), two photosystem I polypeptides (psaA and psaB), four photosystem II polypeptides (psbA, psbC, psbD and psbG), five ribosomal proteins (rps2, rps4, rps7, rps'12 and rps14), and three RNA polymerase subunits (rpoB, rpoC1 and rpoC2). In addition, we detected 18 open reading frames ranging from 29 to 2136 amino acid residues long, four of which share significant amino acid sequence homology to those of an Escherichia coli malK protein (designated mbpX), human mitochondrial ND2 (ndh2) and ND3 (ndh3) of a respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase, or a bacterial antenna protein of a light-harvesting complex (lhcA). Sequence analysis suggests that four tRNA genes and six protein genes might be split by introns; they are trnG(UCC), trnK(UUU), trnL(UAA), trnV(UAC), atpF, ndh2, rpoC1, rps'12, ORF135 and ORF167. In the large single-copy region described here, the gene organization deduced is highly conserved with respect to that of higher plants, but an inversion of some 30,000 base-pairs flanked by trnL(CAA) and trnD(GUC) was seen between the liverwort and tobacco chloroplast genomes.

We investigated mechanisms of mitochondrial phototoxicity caused by the cationic cyanine dye N,N'-bis(2-ethyl-1,3-dioxylene)kryptocyanine (EDKC), examining the role of the mitochondrial membrane potential on the dye uptake by carcinoma cells in vitro, and both the dark and photosensitizing effects of the dye on the function of isolated mouse liver mitochondria. When human bladder carcinoma cells (EJ) were pretreated with 2,4-dinitrophenol or nigericin, cellular uptake of EDKC decreased or increased, respectively, consistent with dye uptake that is dependent on membrane potentials. In isolated liver mitochondria, during NADH linked substrate oxidation (using glutamate plus malate or beta-hydroxybutyrate as substrates), low concentrations of the dye (0.25-0.5 microM) sensitized mitochondria to illumination with long wavelength light and inhibited both basal and ADP-stimulated respiration. Similar effects were observed during succinate oxidation, but only at higher concentrations of EDKC (greater than 5 microM) and at 10-fold greater light doses. NADH coenzyme Q reductase (Complex I) activity was inhibited by dye with or without light to an extent comparable to the inhibition of glutamate plus malate oxidation. Activity of cytochrome c oxidase, the terminal enzyme in the electron transport chain, was photosensitized with high dye doses (greater than 5 microM) and light, but the extent of inhibition was much less than the inhibition of respiration with succinate as substrate. ATP synthetase (F0F1 ATPase) activity was minimally affected by 4.0 microM EDKC with or without 24 J/cm2 light. We conclude that at low concentrations of dye, respiratory Complex I is a primary target for EDKC dark and light-induced toxicities. If Complex I is bypassed by using succinate as a respiratory substrate, the mitochondria can tolerate much higher dye concentrations and light doses.

Dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide (DCCD) inhibition of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase was studied in submitochondrial particles and in the isolated form, together with the binding of the reagent to the enzyme. DCCD inhibited the isolated enzyme in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Over the concentration range studied, a maximum inhibition of 85% was attained within 60 min. The time course for the binding of DCCD to the enzyme was similar to that of activity inhibition. The NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity of the submitochondrial particles was also sensitive to DCCD, and the locus of binding of the inhibitor was studied by subsequent resolution of the enzyme into subunit polypeptides. Only two subunits (molecular masses 13.7 and 21.5 kDa) were labelled by [14C]DCCD, whereas, when the enzyme in its isolated form was treated with [14C]DCCD, six subunits (13.7, 16.1, 21.5, 39, 43 and 53 kDa) were labelled. Comparison with the subunit labelling of F1F0-ATPase and ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase indicated that the labelling pattern of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, and enzyme complex with a multitude of subunits, is unique and not due to contamination by other inner-membrane proteins. The correlation between the electron- and proton-transport functions and the DCCD-binding components remains to be established.

The mitochondrial nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase from beef heart was investigated with respect to minimal assembly of the purified enzyme and of the enzyme in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Studies of the hydrodynamic properties of the purified enzyme in the presence of 0.3% Triton X-100 allowed determination of the Stokes radius, sedimentation constant, partial specific volume, frictional ratio, and molecular weight. Under these conditions transhydrogenase existed as an inactive monomer, suggesting that monomerization may be accompanied by inactivation. Radiation inactivation was used to determine the functional molecular size of purified detergent-dispersed transhydrogenase and transhydrogenase in beef heart submitochondrial particles. Under these conditions the catalytic activity of both the purified and the membrane-bound enzyme was found to be catalyzed by a dimeric form of the enzyme. These results suggest for the first time that the minimal functional assembly of detergent-dispersed as well as membrane-bound transhydrogenase is a dimer, which is not functionally associated with, for example, complex I or ATPase. In addition, the results are consistent with the possibility that the two subunits of transhydrogenase are catalytically active in an alternating fashion according to a previously proposed half-of-the-sites reactivity model.

The maximum Gibbs free energies of reverse electron transfer from succinate to NAD+ and from cytochrome c to fumarate driven by ATP hydrolysis in submitochondrial particles from beef heart were measured as a function of the Gibbs free energy of ATP hydrolysis. The ratio of the energies delta G'redox/delta G'ATP was 1.40 from succinate to NAD+ and 0.89 from cytochrome c to succinate. The ratio, equivalent to a thermodynamic P/2e-ratio, was dependent on whether the electrochemical proton gradient was primarily a membrane potential or a pH gradient for the cytochrome c to fumarate reaction. The results are consistent with H+/ATP = 3 for F1 ATPase, H+/2e- = 4 for NADH-CoQ reductase, and H+(matrix)/2e- = 2 for succinate-cytochrome c reductase.
