The NADH-ubiquinone reductase preparation (Complex I) of bovine hart mitochondria catalysed in the presence of reduced coenzymes and ADP-Fe3+ the lipid peroxidation of liposomes prepared from mitochondrial lipids. The apparent Km values for the coenzymes and the optimal pH of the reactions agreed well with those of the lipid peroxidation of the submitochondrial particles treated with rotenone. On assay of the reduction of ADP-Fe3+ chelate by the reduction of cytochrome c in the presence of superoxide dismutase and antimycin A or by the oxidation of reduced coenzymes, the reactions were not affected by rotenone but were inhibited by thiol-group inhibitors. The properties of the ADP-Fe3+ reductase activity were highly consistent with those of the lipid-peroxidation reaction. These observations suggest that electrons from reduced coenzymes are transferred to ADP-Fe3+ chelate from a component between a mercurial-sensitive site and the rotenone-sensitive one of the NADH dehydrogenase and that the reduction of ADP-Fe3+ chelate by the NADH dehydrogenase is an essential step in the lipid peroxidation.

Various kinds of flavoenzymes such as NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase, xanthine oxidase, lipoamide dehydrogenase and NADH dehydrogenase supplemented with their electron donors exhibited the sulfoxide reductase activity in the presence of a partially purified soluble factor from guinea pig liver. The present study suggests that new electron transfer systems in which the soluble factor functions as an electron carrier coupled with flavoenzymes described above are responsible for the sulfoxide reduction.

We investigated the changes of the inner-membrane components and the electron-transfer activities of bovine heart submitochondrial particles induced by the lipid peroxidation supported by NADPH in the presence of ADP-Fe3+. Most of the polyunsaturated fatty acids were lost as a result of the peroxidation, and phospholipids were changed to polar species. Ubiquinone was also modified to polar substances as the peroxidation proceeded. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed the disappearance of 27000-Mr and 30000-Mr proteins and the appearance of highly polymerized substances. Flavins and cytochromes were not diminished, but the respiratory activity was lost. The reactions of NADH oxidase and NADH-cytochrome c reductase were most sensitive to the peroxidation, followed by those of succinate oxidase and succinate-cytochrome c reductase. Succinate dehydrogenase and duroquinol-cytochrome c reductase were inactivated by more extensive peroxidation, but cytochrome c oxidase was only partially inactivated. NADH-ferricyanide reductase was not inactivated. The pattern of the inactivation indicated that the lipid peroxidation affected the electron transport intensively between NADH dehydrogenase and ubiquinone, and moderately at the succinate dehydrogenase step and between ubiquinone and cytochrome c.

A significant lag in the thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA)-sensitive succinate: ubiquinone reductase activity was observed when a ubiquinone-deficient resolved preparation of the enzyme was assayed in the presence of exogenous ubiquinone-2 (Q2) and 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol. No such lag was seen when the free radical of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (Wurster's Blue) was used as the terminal electron acceptor, or when the reduction of Q2 was directly measured. The apparent Km value for exogenous Q2 was determined in the Q2-mediated TTFA-sensitive succinate: Wurster's Blue reductase reaction. When the enzyme activity was measured directly by monitoring Q2 reduction without terminal acceptors, the time course of the reaction deviated from zero-order kinetics at Q2 concentrations which were much higher than those expected from the KQ2m value determined in the presence of Wurster's Blue. The time course of Q2 reduction fits a curve describing a competitive interrelationship between oxidized and reduced Q2 at the specific binding site. The data obtained are in agreement with the Q-pool behavior of ubiquinone in mitochondrial membranes and suggest that the rate of ubiquinone reduction by succinate is dependent on the Q/QH2 ratio.

Nanaomycin D reductase which is involved in the biosynthesis of the antifungal antibiotic nanaomycin catalyzes the formation of nanaomycin A from nanaomycin D in the presence of NADH under anaerobic conditions. On the other hand, under aerobic conditions NADH is consumed and nanaomycin A formation is markedly reduced. These findings suggest that nanaomycin A synthesis is not due to the direct reduction of the 5-membered lactone ring of nanaomycin D. Reduction of various quinones by the enzyme was examined. It was found that nanaomycin A is converted to its hydroquinone derivative in the presence of NADH under anaerobic conditions, whereas NADH consumption alone is observed under aerobic conditions. When p-benzoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone or menadione is used instead of nanaomycin D, NADH is also consumed. These results indicate that: (1) these compounds act as electron acceptors, (2) O2 functions as final electron acceptor under aerobic conditions, and (3) nanaomycin D reductase is, in fact, an NADH dehydrogenase (quinone). Changes in the UV-absorption spectrum of a reaction mixture containing nanaomycin D and NADH indicate that a hydroquinone derivative is formed as an intermediate during nanaomycin A formation. Similar results were obtained when nanaomycin D is reduced chemically with NaBH4 or Zn powder. It was concluded that nanaomycin D is converted to a hydroquinone derivative and that nanaomycin A is then formed nonenzymatically through intramolecular electron transfer.

A new peroxide compound (ML-X) was isolated from an autoxidation product of methyl linoleate and was determined as methyl 9-hydroperoxy-12, 13-epoxy-10-octadecenoate. This compound inhibited state 3 respiration of rat heart- and liver mitochondria when glutamate and malate were used as substrates, but not when the substrate was succinate. State 4 respiration of mitochondria was not affected when glutamate-malate was used as the substrate, but it was stimulated when the substrate was succinate. ML-X inhibited oxidative phosphorylation of the mitochondria and abolished the membrane potential formed by respiration or by added ATP. NADH oxidase activity of submitochondrial particles was inhibited by ML-X but succinate oxidase activity was not inhibited. NADH-acceptor reductase activities of submitochondrial particles were inhibited by ML-X to the same extents as by rotenone. These findings show that ML-X has dual effects on mitochondrial respiration as (1) an inhibitor of NADH dehydrogenase complex and (2) an uncoupler. Neither methyl linoleate monohydroperoxide nor methyl epoxy stearate has such effects. ML-X is a new type of inhibitor-uncoupler of mitochondrial respiration in which hydroperoxy- and epoxy groups co-operate.

This paper presents biochemical data upon a young male with a mitochondrial myopathy characterised by weakness, severe exercise intolerance, muscle wasting and exercise-induced lactic acidaemia. Two similar cases have been previously documented (Morgan-Hughes et al. 1979). This report more precisely locates the mitochondrial defect. In vitro mitochondrial studies show markedly decreased respiratory rates with all NAD-linked substrates whilst that with flavin-linked succinate is normal. Oxidative phosphorylation is normally coupled. Mitochondrial cytochrome components as determined by low temperature spectroscopy are normal. NADH-ferricyanide reductase and primary dehydrogenase activities are present at levels far in excess of that required to support normal NAD-linked substrate oxidation rates. Intramitochondrial NAD levels are similar to those found in other mammalian muscle. It is proposed therefore that the mitochondrial defect is situated between NADH dehydrogenase and the CoQ--Cytochrome b complex; possibly being a derangement of a non-haem iron sulphur centre.

The role of flavins in vitamin K function was assessed by examining blood coagulation and in vitro activities of hepatic vitamin K-dependent enzymes from control and riboflavin-deficient rats. One-stage prothrombin times and Factor VII activities were lower in flavin-deficient rats than in ad libitum or pair-fed controls. Fibrinogen, prothrombin, and Factor X activities were normal. Hepatic vitamin K-dependent carboxylase activity was severely depressed in flavin-deficient rats when assayed with [vitamin K + NADH] and somewhat depressed with reduced vitamin K (vitamin KH2) as substrate. One-hour flavin repletion appreciably restored [vitamin K + NADH]-dependent activity, but vitamin KH2-dependent activity was not restored even after 16 hours repletion. These results suggest that the carboxylating enzyme itself is not a flavoprotein, but that the microsomal NADH dehydrogenase required for [vitamin K + NADH]-dependent carboxylation is a flavoprotein. This dehydrogenase may differ from the cytosolic Warfarin-inhibitable 'DT-diaphorase' in that the activity of the latter, which is reduced 50% in flavin-deficient rats, is not at all restored by one-hour flavin repletion. Flavin status-dependent differences in NADH-dependent or vitamin KH2-dependent epoxidation of vitamin K paralleled differences in the carboxylase. Flavin deficiency had no effect on vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase activity nor on its inhibition by Warfarin.

Respiratory activity and NADH CoQ reductase (complex I) and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV) activities were measured in free (non-synaptosomal) mitochondria isolated from cerebral cortex of male Balb/c mice exposed to intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (450 Torr; 4300 m) for 21 days and compared to normoxic (sea level) controls. In the hypoxic we found a 47% reduction of oxygen uptake during state 3 (ADP and substrate present), 12% reduction during state 4 (no ADP present) and 20% reduction in the uncoupled respiration rate with pyruvate plus malate as substrates. Respiratory control ratio (RCR) decreased by 24%. No change in the ADP/O ratio was seen. NADH CoQ reductase activity decreased by 30% and cytochrome c oxidase by 17%, suggesting that under conditions of chronic hypoxia, the reductions of mitochondrial respiratory activities are caused, at least in part, by enzymatic alterations of the electron transport chain (complex I and complex IV). The decreased activity of these enzymes could contribute to alterations in neuronal activity by reducing brain energy metabolism during development under conditions of chronic hypoxia.

A new group of natural compounds, the Annonaceous acetogenins, have recently been determined to inhibit ATP production at a similar site of action and higher levels of potency as rotenone, i.e., at NADH-ubiquinone oxido-reductase, complex I of the mitochondrial electron-transport chain. The acetogenins had earlier been determined to be pesticidal, antimalarial, antimicrobial, anti-parasitic, cytotoxic, and in vivo active as potentially new antitumor agents. In order to determine structural activity relationships (SARs) among these compounds, at the subcellular level, several available acetogenins have been tested. Data obtained, from the inhibition of oxygen consumption by rat liver mitochondria, demonstrated that all of the twenty acetogenins tested are active with IC50 values in the range of 15-800 nM/mg protein. The IC50 value of rotenone was 17 nM/mg protein. The bis-adjacent THF ring acetogenins and the bis-nonadjacent THF ring compounds are about ten times more active than the mono-THF ring acetogenins. Overall, 30-OH and 31-OH-bullatacinone were the most active and were slightly more active than rotenone. The least active were the 4-deoxy bis-adjacent THF ring compounds followed by the mono-THF ring group. There was some variation between the groups, e.g., within the bis-adjacent and mono-THF ring groups, the alpha, beta-unsaturated-gamma-lactones were less active than the keto-lactones, but this observation was reversed for one of the pairs of bis-nonadjacent THF ring acetogenins. Additional hydroxylations, to a maximum of three, seemed to increase activity within all of the groups. Before final decisions on SARs can be made, additional comparisons of the results of this subcellular assay (as an in vitro assay) with the results of in vivo assays should be made. Also, future investigations into the exact site of action within complex I and other possible sites of action (such as the NADH oxidase of plasma membranes) need to be conducted for a more. complete understanding of the utility and potential of this new group of very potent compounds.
