The fungicide dexon (p-dimethylaminobenzenediazosulfonate, Na-salt) inhibits the NADH oxidase activity of submitochondrial particles (ETP) from beef heart (semi-inhibition concentration 1.4 muM), while the succinate oxidase activity is unaffected. Measurements of the activity of several enzymatic partial reactions of the respiratory chain of ETP suggest that dexon acts directly on the flavine of NADH dehydrogenase. Soluble NADH-cytochrome c-oxidoreductase (MAHLER) and rotenone-insensitive NADH ubiquinone reductase are also inhibited by dexon. At low concentrations of dexon, inhibition of ETP starts slowly only after addition of NADH. Preincubation without NADH increases the amount of inhibition, but does not prevent the time delay. It is assumed that an electron flux through the respiratory chain, or reduction of flavine is prerequisite for the reaction of dexon with the action site. Furthermore, dexon inhibits the NADH dehydrogenase located at the outer surface of the inner membrane of plant mitochondria, accessible to extramitochondrial NADH and insensitive to rotenone, as has been shown on isolated mitochondria from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L). In addition, dexon inhibits selectively the NADH dehydrogenase of the DT diaphorase (ERNSTER) from rat liver cytosol. In contrast, the dicoumarol-insensitive NADH dehydrogenase (ZINSMEYER et al.) from rat liver cytosol, the NADH-cytochrome b5-reductase (STRITTMATTER) from rat liver microsomes, the rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c-oxidoreductase of the outer membrane of rat liver mitochondria, soluble NADH-oxidase from Escherichia coli, and NADH-dehydrogenase from human erythrocytes are not inhibited. The results suggest that dexon is a group reagent to certain pyridine nucleotide-dependent flavine enzymes.

Two related forms of the respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (NADH:ubiquinone reductase or complex I) are synthesized in the mitochondria of Neurospora crassa. Normally growing cells make a large form that consists of 25 subunits encoded by nuclear DNA and six to seven subunits encoded by mitochondrial DNA. Cells grown in the presence of chloramphenicol, however, make a smaller form comprising only 13 subunits, all encoded by nuclear DNA. When the large enzyme is dissected by chaotropic agents (such as NaBr), all those subunits of the large form that are missing in the small form can be isolated as a distinct, so-called hydrophobic fragment. The small enzyme and the hydrophobic fragment make up, with regard to their redox groups, subunit composition and function, two complementary parts of the large-form NADH dehydrogenase. Averaging of electron microscope images of single particles of the large enzyme was carried out, revealing an unusual L-shaped structure with two domains or "arms" arranged at right angles. The hydrophobic fragment obtained by the NaBr treatment corresponds in size and appearance to one of these arms. A three-dimensional reconstruction from images of negatively stained membrane crystals of the large-form NADH dehydrogenase shows a peripheral domain, protruding from the membrane, with weak unresolved density within the membrane. This peripheral domain was removed by washing the crystals in situ with 2 M-NaBr, exposing a large membrane-buried domain, which was reconstructed in three dimensions. A three-dimensional reconstruction of the small enzyme from negatively stained membrane crystals, also described here, shows only a peripheral domain. These results suggest that the membrane protruding arm of the large form corresponds to the small enzyme, whereas the arm lying within the membrane can be identified as the hydrophobic fragment. The two parts of NADH dehydrogenase that can be defined by the separate genetic origin of (most of) their subunits, their independent assembly, and their distinct contributions to the electron pathway can thus be assigned to the two arms of the L-shaped complex I.

The polypeptide composition of isolated mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone reductase (NADH dehydrogenase) is very similar to that of material immunoprecipitated from detergent-solubilized bovine heart submitochondrial particles by antisera to the holoenzyme. The specificity of the antisera for dehydrogenase polypeptides was determined by immunoblotting, which showed that antisera reacting with only a few proteins were able to immunoprecipitate all others in parallel. The polypeptide compositions of rat, rabbit and human NADH dehydrogenase were determined by immunoprecipitation of the enzyme from solubilized submitochondrial particles and proved to be very similar to that of the bovine heart enzyme, particularly in the high-Mr region. Further homologies in these and other species were explored by immunoblotting with antisera to the holoenzyme and monospecific antisera raised against iron-sulphur-protein subunits of the enzyme.

The pathway of NADH oxidation in the procyclic Trypanosoma brucei brucei was investigated in a crude mitochondrial membrane fraction and in whole cells permeabilized with digitonin. NADH:cytochrome c reductase activity was 75% inhibited by concentrations of antimycin that inhibited 95% succinate:cytochrome c reductase activity suggesting that the major pathway for NADH oxidation in the mitochondria involved the cytochrome bc1 complex of the electron transfer chain. Both NADH:cytochrome c and NADH:ubiquinone reductase activities were inhibited 80-90% by rotenone indicating the presence of a complex I-like NADH dehydrogenase in the mitochondrion of trypanosomes. In whole cells permeabilized with low concentrations of digitonin, the oxidation of malate, proline and glucose (in the presence of salicylhydroxamic acid, the inhibitor of the alternate oxidase) was inhibited 30-50% by rotenone. The presence of an alternative pathway for NADH oxidation involving fumarate reductase was indicated by the observation that malonate, the specific inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase, inhibited 30-35% the rate of oxygen uptake with malate and glucose as substrates in the digitonin-permeabilized cells. We conclude that in the mitochondrion of the procyclic form of T. brucei, NADH is preferentially oxidized by a rotenone-sensitive NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase; however, NADH can also be oxidized to some extent by the enzyme fumarate reductase present in the mitochondrion of T. brucei.

NADH:ubiquinone reductase (EC 1.6.19.3), or complex I, was isolated from broad bean (Vicia faba L.) mitochondria. Osmotic shock and sequential treatment with 0.2% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 0.5% (w/v) [3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfate (CHAPS) removed all other NADH dehydrogenase activities. Complex I was solubilized in the presence of 4% Triton X-100 and then purified by sucrose-gradient centrifugation in the presence of the same detergent. The second purification step was hydroxylapatite chromatography. Substitution of CHAPS for Triton X-100 helped remove contaminants such as ATPase. The high molecular mass complex is composed of at least 26 subunits with molecular masses ranging from 6000 to 75,000 kD. The purified complex I reduced ferricyanide and ubiquinone analogs but not cytochrome c. NADPH could not substitute for NADH as an electron donor. The KM for NADH was 20 microM at the optimum pH of 8.0. The NH2-terminal sequence of several subunits was determined, revealing the ambiguous nature of the 42-kD subunit.

A rotenone-insensitive NADH dehydrogenase has been isolated from the mitochondria of the procyclic form of African parasite, Trypanosoma brucei. The active form of the purified enzyme appears to be a dimer consisting of two 33-kDa subunits with noncovalently bound FMN as a cofactor. Hypotonic treatment of intact mitochondria revealed that the NADH dehydrogenase is located in the inner membrane/matrix fraction facing the matrix. The treatment of mitochondria with increasing concentrations of digitonin suggested that the NADH dehydrogenase is loosely bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane. The NADH:ubiquinone reductase activity is insensitive to rotenone, flavone, or dicumarol; however, it was inhibited by diphenyl iodonium in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Maximum inhibition by diphenyl iodonium required preincubation with NADH to reduce the flavin. More complete inhibition was obtained with the more hydrophobic electron acceptors, such as Q(1) or Q(2), as compared to the more hydrophilic ones, such as Q(0) or dichloroindophenol. Kinetic analysis of the enzyme indicated that the enzyme followed a ping-pong mechanism. The enzyme conducts a one-electron transfer and can reduce molecular oxygen forming superoxide radical.

In the intraerythrocytic stages of malaria parasites, mitochondria lack obvious cristae and are assumed to derive energy through glycolysis. For understanding of parasite energy metabolism in mammalian hosts, we isolated rodent malaria mitochondria from Plasmodium yoelii yoelii grown in mice. As potential targets for antiplasmodial agents, we characterized two respiratory dehydrogenases, succinate:ubiquinone reductase (complex II) and alternative NADH dehydrogenase (NDH-II), which is absent in mammalian mitochondria. We found that P. y. yoelii complex II was a four-subunit enzyme and that kinetic properties were similar to those of mammalian enzymes, indicating that the Plasmodium complex II is favourable in catalysing the forward reaction of tricarboxylic acid cycle. Notably, Plasmodium complex II showed IC(50) value for atpenin A5 three-order of magnitudes higher than those of mammalian enzymes. Divergence of protist membrane anchor subunits from eukaryotic orthologs likely affects the inhibitor resistance. Kinetic properties and sensitivity to 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide and aurachin C of NADH: ubiquinone reductase activity of Plasmodium NDH-II were similar to those of plant and fungus enzymes but it can oxidize NADPH and deamino-NADH. Our findings are consistent with the notion that rodent malaria mitochondria are fully capable of oxidative phosphorylation and that these mitochondrial enzymes are potential targets for new antiplasmodials.
