Iron(II/III) and manganese(II) both catalyze the autoxidation of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) in the presence of L-cysteine (CySH) in buffered aqueous solution at pH 7.4. Fe2+/Fe3+ and CySH together generate the hydroxyl (HO.) and cysteinyl thiyl (CyS.) radicals. DA is oxidized by HO. to DA semiquinone radical species that either react with CyS. to give 5-S-cysteinyldopamine (5-S-CyS-DA), 2-S-CyS-DA, and 6-S-CyS-DA or disproportionate to DA-o-quinone that reacts with CySH to give the same cysteinyl conjugates of DA. The major product of this initial reaction is 5-S-CyS-DA. However, 5-S-CyS-DA can be further oxidized by HO. to an o-quinone (2) that undergoes intramolecular cyclization to an o-quinone imine (3). The latter intermediate is the precursor of the dihydrobenzothiazine (DHBT) 7-(2-aminoethyl)-3,4-dihydro-5-hydroxy-2H-1, 4-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid (DHBT-1) and several other cyclized products. However, cysteinyl conjugates of DA can also be oxidized by HO. in a one-electron abstraction reaction that leads to DA thiyl radicals. Reactions of these radicals with CyS. or DA semiquinone radicals lead to some novel DA disulfides and thioethers, respectively. The Mn(II)-catalyzed oxidation of DA generates DA-o-quinone that is scavenged by CySH to give 5-S-CyS-DA (major initial product) with lower yields of other cysteinyldopamines. Subsequent Mn(II)-catalyzed oxidation of 5-S-CyS-DA gives o-quinone 2 and thence o-quinone imine 3 that serve as the precursors of DHBT-1 and several other DHBTs. Organic or oxygen radicals do not play significant roles in the Mn(II)-catalyzed oxidation of DA in the presence of CySH. Recent studies have demonstrated that DHBT-1 can be accumulated by brain mitochondria and evoke irreversible inhibition of NADH-coenzyme Q reductase (complex I). Furthermore, iron, manganese, and alterations in glutathione and CySH metabolism have been implicated in the selective degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in idiopathic and chemically induced Parkinson's disease (PD). Because DHBT-1 is formed in both the iron- and manganese-catalyzed oxidation of DA in the presence of CySH and a defect in mitochondrial complex I respiration contributes to dopaminergic neuronal cell death in PD, the results of this investigation are discussed in terms of their possible implications to an understanding of the neuropathological processes in idiopathic and chemically induced parkinsonism.

A 44-year-old female with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) due to a homozygous missense mutation (Pro40Ala) in calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) gene has type 2 diabetes mellitus. The identical heterozygous mutation of CaSR gene was observed in consanguineous parents and all other family members examined except her two sisters. Many subjects with abnormal glucose tolerance were observed in this family, which is compatible with maternal inheritance. Mitochondrial function of complex I (NADH-coenzyme Q reductase) activity in cybrid cells between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-deleted (rho(0)) HeLa cells and mtDNA from the proband was decreased by 35%. The proband has eight substitutions and among these 4833 A/G is a missense substitution in NADH dehydrogenase 2 gene and may probably be a major pathogenic mutation of impaired complex I activity. These results suggest that coexistence of nuclear gene and mtDNA mutations may have caused or modified the development of abnormal glucose tolerance in this family.

VanDemark, P. J. (University of South Dakota, Vermillion), and P. F. Smith. Respiratory pathways in the Mycoplasma. II. Pathway of electron transport during oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide by Mycoplasma hominis. J. Bacteriol. 88:122-129. 1964.-Unlike the flavin-terminated respiratory pathway of the fermentative Mycoplasma, the respiratory chain of the nonfermentative M. hominis strain 07 appears to be more complex, involving quinones and cytochromes in addition to flavins. In addition to reduction by reduced nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and reduced nicotine adenine dinucleotide phosphate, nonpyridine nucleotide-linked reduction of the respiratory chain of this organism occurred with succinate, lactate, and short-chained acyl coenzyme A derivatives as electron donors. Enzymes catalyzing the oxidation of NADH included an NADH oxidase, a diaphorase, a quinone reductase, and a cytochrome c reductase. The oxidation of NADH was sensitive to a variety of inhibitors, including 10(-4)m Atabrine, 10(-3)m sodium amytal, 10(-5)mp-chloromercuribenzoate, 10(-4)m antimycin A, and 10(-4)m potassium cyanide. The oxidase was resolved by the addition of 5% trichloroacetic acid and reactivated by the addition of flavin adenine dinucleotide but not flavin mononucleotide. The M. hominis sonic extract contained an NADH-coenzyme Q reductase. The oxidation of NADH was stimulated by the addition of either menadione or vitamin K(2) (C(35)). The oxidase was inactivated by extraction with ether or irradiation at 360 mmu. The ether-inactivated enzyme was partially reactivated by the addition of "lipid" extract of the enzyme and coenzyme Q(6). Difference spectra of the cell extracts revealed the presence of "b" and "a" type cytochromes. These cell extracts were found to contain a cyanide-and azide-sensitive cytochrome oxidase and catalase.

A series of typical (chlorpromazine, haloperidol and thioridazine) and atypical (risperidone, quetiapine, clozapine and olanzapine) antipsychotics were tested for effects on integrated bioenergetic functions of isolated rat liver mitochondria. Polarographic measurement of oxygen consumption in freshly isolated mitochondria showed that electron transfer activity at respiratory complex I is inhibited by chlorpromazine, haloperidol, risperidone, and quetiapine, but not by clozapine, olanzapine, or thioridazine. Chlorpromazine and thioridazine act as modest uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. The typical neuroleptics inhibited NADH-coenzyme Q reductase in freeze-thawed mitochondria, which is a direct measure of complex I enzyme activity. The inhibition of NADH-coenzyme Q reductase activity by the atypicals risperidone and quetiapine was 2-4 fold less than that for the typical neuroleptics. Clozapine and olanzapine had only slight effects on NADH-coenzyme Q reductase activity, even at 200 microM. The relative potencies of these neuroleptic drugs as inhibitors of mitochondrial bioenergetic function is similar to their relative potencies as risk factors in the reported incidence of extrapyramidal symptoms, including tardive dyskinesia (TD). This suggests that compromised bioenergetic function may be involved in the cellular pathology underlying TD.

We evaluated a patient, born after a normal 38-week pregnancy, with psychomotor retardation, poor coordination of ocular movements, recurrent vomiting and severe lactic acidosis. The patient was admitted to hospital at 2 months of age because of a mitochondrial-like syndrome and died at the age of 4.5 months. Array-comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) analysis revealed a homozygous deletion in 5q11.2 involving NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) Fe-S protein 4, 18 kDa (NADH-coenzyme Q reductase; NDUFS4). Both parents were heterozygous for the mutation. The array revealed a deletion of ~32kb that includes exon 2 of NDUFS4 subsequently confirmed by real time-PCR and multiplex PCR. NDUFS4 was previously correlated to Leigh syndrome since mutations in this gene block the assembly of complex I. This result demonstrates the relevance of a-CGH screening in patients affected by metabolic disorders of unknown etiology.
