Various authors have suggested that nitric oxide (.NO) exerts cytotoxic effects through the inhibition of cellular respiration. Indeed, in intact cells .NO inhibits glutamate-malate (complex I) as well as succinate (complex II)-supported mitochondrial electron transport, without affecting TMPD/ascorbate (complex IV)-dependent respiration. However, experiments in our lab using isolated rat heart mitochondria indicated that authentic .NO inhibited electron transport mostly by reversible binding to the terminal oxidase, cytochrome a3, having a less significant effect on complex II- and no effect on complex I-electron transport components. The inhibitory action of .NO was more profound at lower oxygen tensions and resulted in differential spectra similar to that observed in dithionite-treated mitochondria. On the other hand, continuous fluxes of .NO plus superoxide (O.(2)(-)), which lead to formation of micromolar steady-state levels of peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-), caused a strong inhibition of complex I- and complex II-dependent mitochondrial oxygen consumption and significantly inhibited the activities of succinate dehydrogenase and ATPase, without affecting complex IV-dependent respiration and cytochrome c oxidase activity. In conclusion, even though nitric oxide can directly cause a transient inhibition of electron transport, the inhibition pattern of mitochondrial respiration observed in the presence of peroxynitrite is the one that closely resembles that found secondary to .NO interactions with intact cells and strongly points to peroxynitrite as the ultimate reactive intermediate accounting for nitric oxide-dependent inactivation of electron transport components and ATPase in living cells and tissues.

The lipophilic iron chelator 1,10-phenanthroline has been used in mechanistic studies on intracellular oxidant damage because iron is assumed to play a role in the endogenous formation of highly reactive oxygen species. This study shows that 1,10-phenanthroline has enzyme-modulatory properties in addition to its antioxidant activity. In rat hepatocytes, 1,10-phenanthroline caused inhibition of respiration and enhancement of cellular ATP content, pyruvate release and CO2 formation from glycerol resulting from a modulatory action of 1,10-phenanthroline on various enzymes involved in cellular energy metabolism. In intact mitochondria and in submitochondrial particles, oxygen consumption, complex I activity, and ATPase degradation are inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline. In submitochondrial particles, complex II activity can also be suppressed by 1,10-phenanthroline. The purified cytosolic enzymes lactate dehydrogenase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase are inhibited while purified glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is activated by 1,10-phenanthroline. The results suggest that 1,10-phenanthroline modulates various enzyme activities linked to cellular energy metabolism and that this property must be taken into account when using 1,10-phenanthroline as a tool in experiments on oxidant effects in cells.

A new chromatographic procedure has been developed for the isolation of F1F0-ATPase and NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from a single batch of bovine heart mitochondria. The method employed dodecyl beta-delta-maltoside, a monodisperse, homogeneous detergent in which many respiratory complexes exhibit high activity, for solubilization and subsequent purification by ammonium sulphate fractionation and column chromatography. A combination of anion-exchange, gel-filtration, and dye-ligand affinity chromatography was used to purify both complexes to homogeneity. The F1F0-ATPase preparation contains only the 16 known subunits of the enzyme. It has oligomycin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis activity and, as demonstrated elsewhere, when reconstituted into lipid vesicles it is capable of ATP-dependent proton pumping and of ATP synthesis driven by a proton gradient [Groth and Walker (1996) Biochem. J. 318, 351-357]. The complex I preparation contains all of the subunits identified in other preparations of the enzyme, and has rotenone-sensitive NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase and NADH:ferricyanide oxidoreductase activities. The procedure is rapid and reproducible, yielding 50-80 mg of purified F1F0-ATPase and 20-40 mg of purified complex I from 1 g of mitochondrial membranes. Both preparations are devoid of phospholipids, and gel filtration and dynamic light scattering experiments indicate that they are monodisperse. Therefore, the preparations fulfil important prerequisites for structural analysis.

We investigated the effects of 2,6-diisopropylphenol on oxidative phosphorylation of isolated rat liver mitochondria. Diisopropylphenol strongly inhibits state-3 and uncoupled respiratory rates, when glutamate and malate are the substrates, as a direct consequence of the limitation of electron transfer at the level of complex I. In addition, diisopropylphenol acts as an uncoupler in non-phosphorylating mitochondria, which leads to an increase in respiratory rate and a large decrease in proton-motive force. However, such effects cannot be due to the classical protonophoric property of this drug, since addition of ADP plus oligomycin before diisopropylphenol avoids this increase in proton permeability, and in phosphorylating mitochondria, the ATP/O ratio is not significantly affected by diisopropylphenol addition. In the absence of added ADP, diisopropylphenol modifies some mitochondrial ATPases in such a way that they become insensitive to oligomycin and unable to couple proton movement to ATP synthesis or hydrolysis. However, these modified enzymes can catalyse passive proton permeability, which leads to uncoupling. Addition of ADP before diisopropylphenol prevents these changes. We propose that ADP induces a change in conformation of ATPase, which leads to insensitivity of this complex towards diisopropylphenol. In conclusion, we show that diisopropylphenol has two main effects on rat liver mitochondria: inhibition of the respiratory chain at the level of complex I level and modification of ATPase such that, in the absence of phosphorylation, it catalyses a H+ leak, which becomes negligible when oxidative phosphorylation is functional.

Peroxynitrite anion, the reaction product of superoxide and nitric oxide, is a potent biological oxidant, which inactivates mammalian heart mitochondrial NADH-coenzyme Q reductase (complex I), succinate dehydrogenase (complex II), and ATPase, without affecting cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV). In this paper, we evaluated the effect of peroxynitrite on mitochondrial membrane integrity and permeability under low calcium concentration. Phosphate buffer was used in most of our experiments since Hepes, Tris, mannitol, and sucrose were found to inhibit the oxidative chemistry of peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite (0.1-1.0 mM) caused a dose-dependent decrease in the ability of mitochondria to build up a membrane potential when N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine/ascorbate were used as substrate. Elimination of the membrane potential was accompanied by penetration of the osmotic support (KCl/NaCl) into the matrix as judged by the parallel occurrence of mitochondrial swelling. This swelling was partially inhibited by dithiothreitol (DTT) or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and was insensitive to ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, ADP, and cyclosporin A. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of solubilized membrane proteins indicated that alterations in membrane permeability were associated with the production of protein aggregates due to membrane protein thiol cross-linking. The protective effect of DTT on both mitochondrial swelling and protein polymerization suggests the involvement of disulfide bonds in the membrane permeabilization process. In addition, the increase in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and the partial inhibitory effect of BHT indicate the occurrence of lipid peroxidation. These results support the idea that under our experimental conditions peroxynitrite causes mitochondrial structural and functional alterations by Ca2+-independent mechanisms through lipid peroxidation and protein sulfhydryl oxidation.

Employing antisera against various subfractions of rat liver mitochondria (mitoplast, inner membrane, intermembrane, and matrix) as well as metabolically radiolabeled BRL-3A rat liver cells, we undertook a search for the presence of glycoproteins in this major cellular compartment for which little information in regard to glycoconjugates was available. Subsequent to [35S]methionine labeling of BRL-3A cells, a peptide:N-glycosidase-sensitive protein (45 kDa) was observed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the inner membrane immunoprecipitate, which was reduced to a molecular mass of 42 kDa by this enzyme. The 45-kDa protein was readily labeled with [2-3H]mannose, and indeed the radioactivity of the inner membrane immunoprecipitate was almost exclusively present in this component. Moreover, antisera directed against mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) or F1F0-ATPase (complex V) also precipitated a 45-kDa protein from BRL-3A cell lysates as the predominant mannose-radiolabeled constituent. Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase completely removed the radiolabel from this glycoprotein, and the released oligosaccharides were of the partially trimmed polymannose type (Glc1Man9GlcNAc to Man8GlcNAc). Cycloheximide as well as tunicamycin resulted in total inhibition of radiolabeling of the inner membrane glycoprotein, and moreover, pulse-chase studies employing metrizamide density gradient centrifugation demonstrated that the glycoprotein was initially present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and subsequently appeared in a mitochondrial location. Early movement of the glycoprotein to the mitochondria after synthesis in the ER was also evident from the limited processing undergone by its N-linked oligosaccharides; this stood in contrast to lysosomal glycoproteins in which we noted extensive conversion to complex oligosaccharides. Our findings suggest that the 45-kDa glycoprotein migrates from ER to mitochondria by the previously observed contact sites between the two organelles. Furthermore, the presence of this glycoprotein in at least two major mitochondrial multienzyme complexes would be consistent with a role in mitochondrial translocations.

MI-D (4-phenyl-5-(4-nitro-cinnamoyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazolium-2-phenylami ne chloride), a new mesoionic compound, depressed the phosphorylation efficiency of liver mitochondria as deduced from an accentuated decrease of the respiratory control coefficient and ADP/O ratio. Analysis of segments of the respiratory chain suggested that the MI-D inhibition site is further on than complex I and between complexes II and III. The transmembrane electrical potential (delta psi) was collapsed dependent on MI-D concentration. ATPase activity was dramatically increased by MI-D in intact mitochondria, but inhibited in carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP)-uncoupled mitochondria. These results suggest that MI-D acts as an uncoupler agent, a property closely related to its structural characteristics.

Mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi(m)) was determined in intact isolated nerve terminals using the membrane potential-sensitive probe JC-1. Oxidative stress induced by H2O2 (0.1-1 mM) caused only a minor decrease in delta psi(m). When complex I of the respiratory chain was inhibited by rotenone (2 microM), delta psi(m) was unaltered, but on subsequent addition of H2O2, delta psi(m) started to decrease and collapsed during incubation with 0.5 mM H2O2 for 12 min. The ATP level and [ATP]/[ADP] ratio were greatly reduced in the simultaneous presence of rotenone and H2O2. H2O2 also induced a marked reduction in delta psi(m) when added after oligomycin (10 microM), an inhibitor of F0F1-ATPase. H2O2 (0.1 or 0.5 mM) inhibited alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and decreased the steady-state NAD(P)H level in nerve terminals. It is concluded that there are at least two factors that determine delta psi(m) in the presence of H2O2: (a) The NADH level reduced owing to inhibition of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is insufficient to ensure an optimal rate of respiration, which is reflected in a fall of delta psi(m) when the F0F1-ATPase is not functional. (b) The greatly reduced ATP level in the presence of rotenone and H2O2 prevents maintenance of delta psi(m) by F0F1-ATPase. The results indicate that to maintain delta psi(m) in the nerve terminal during H2O2-induced oxidative stress, both complex I and F0F1-ATPase must be functional. Collapse of delta psi(m) could be a critical event in neuronal injury in ischemia or Parkinson's disease when H2O2 is generated in excess and complex I of the respiratory chain is simultaneously impaired.

Two complementary methods were used to determine how the rate of respiration and that of ATP hydrolysis were controlled in rat liver submitochondrial particles. In the first, 'direct control analysis' method, respiration was titrated with malonate, antimycin or cyanide at 20, 30 and 37 degrees C, to determine the flux control exerted by succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome bc1 complex and cytochrome c oxidase, respectively. Together, the three respiratory complexes only controlled the flux by about 50%, leaving the other 50% of flux control to the H+ leak. In the second, 'elasticity based' method, the elasticity coefficients of the respiratory chain or the H+-ATPase and the H+ leak towards the H+ gradient were determined. Then, the flux control coefficients were calculated using the connectivity and summation laws of metabolic control theory. The correspondence between the flux control coefficients determined in the two ways validated the two methods. This allowed us to use the second method to analyse what was the kinetic origin of the observed distribution of control. Control of ATP hydrolysis by the ATPase decreased with increasing ATPase activity; hence, the control exerted by the H+ leak increased with increasing ATPase activity, due to a diminishing elasticity towards the H+ gradient. Reverse electron transport was mainly controlled by the ATPase; the sum of flux control coefficients of succinate dehydrogenase, NADH-CoQ oxidoreductase, and H+-ATPase yielded a value greater than one, indicating that the H+ leak exerted a significant negative control on this pathway.

Kidney proximal tubule cells developed severe energy deficits during hypoxia/reoxygenation not attributable to cellular disruption, lack of purine precursors, the mitochondrial permeability transition, or loss of cytochrome c. Reoxygenated cells showed decreased respiration with complex I substrates, but minimal or no impairment with electron donors at complexes II and IV. This was accompanied by diminished mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)). The energy deficit, respiratory inhibition, and loss of DeltaPsi(m) were strongly ameliorated by provision of alpha-ketoglutarate plus aspartate (alphaKG/ASP) supplements during either hypoxia or only during reoxygenation. Measurements of (13)C-labeled metabolites in [3-(13)C]aspartate-treated cells indicated the operation of anaerobic pathways of alphaKG/ASP metabolism to generate ATP, yielding succinate as end product. Anaerobic metabolism of alphaKG/ASP also mitigated the loss of DeltaPsi(m) that occurred during hypoxia before reoxygenation. Rotenone, but not antimycin or oligomycin, prevented this effect, indicating that electron transport in complex I, rather than F(1)F(0)-ATPase activity, had been responsible for maintenance of DeltaPsi(m) by the substrates. Thus, tubule cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation can have persistent energy deficits associated with complex I dysfunction for substantial periods of time before onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition and/or loss of cytochrome c. The lesion can be prevented or reversed by citric acid cycle metabolites that anaerobically generate ATP by intramitochondrial substrate-level phosphorylation and maintain DeltaPsi(m) via electron transport in complex I. Utilization of these anaerobic pathways of mitochondrial energy metabolism known to be present in other mammalian tissues may provide strategies to limit mitochondrial dysfunction and allow cellular repair before the onset of irreversible injury by ischemia or hypoxia.
