1. Measurements were made at 12 degrees K of the electron-paramagnetic-resonance (e.p.r.) spectra of submitochondrial particles from Candida utilis cells grown under conditions that alter the amount of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3). 2. Iron-limited growth decreases the extent of iron-sulphur e.p.r. signals to undetectable values that are less than 1 percent of those normally found with glycerol-limited growth. 3. Small but significant signals attributable to the NADH dehydrogenase were detected in submitochondrial particles from sulphate-limited cells. 4. Measurements made on submitochondrial particles prepared from these and other phenotypically modified cells lead us to conclude that the presence of low-temperature e.p.r.-detectable iron-sulphur centres attributable to the NADH dehydrogenase are necessary but not sufficient for the coupling of ATP synthesis to the NADH dehydrogenase reaction in the mitochondrial membrane of C. utilis. 6. The amplitude of the g=2.01 signal observed in non-reduced submitochondrial particles is approximately tenfold diminished by iron limitation but not significantly altered by sulphate limitation.

The effect of treating mitochondria with visible light above 400 nm on electron transport and coupled reactions was examined. The temporal sequence of changes was: stimulation of respiration coupled to ATP synthesis, a decline in ATP synthesis, inactivation of respiration, increased ATPase activity and, later, loss of the membrane potential. Loss of respiration was principally due to inactivation of dehydrogenases. Of the components of dehydrogenase systems, flavins and quinones were most susceptible to illumination, the iron-sulfur centers were remarkably resistant to being damaged. Succinate dehydrogenase was inactivated before choline and NADH dehydrogenase. Redox reactions of cytochromes and cytochrome c oxidase activity were unaffected. Inactivation was O2-dependent and prevented by anaerobiosis or the presence of substrates for the dehydrogenases. Light in the range 400-500 nm was most effective and the presence of free flavins greatly enhanced inactivation of all of the above mitochondrial activities. This suggests that visible light mediates a flavin-photosensitized reaction that initiates damage involving participation of an activated species of oxygen in the damage propagation.

Treating bovine epididymal spermatozoa with rutamycin or rotenone inhibited both respiration and motility supported by endogenous substrates. When oxidative phosphorylation had been blocked with various inhibitors, pyruvate was metabolized to yield ATP and restored motility. Fructose, which is metabolized via glycolysis to yield ATP, was also able to resuscitate the cells. Other substrates tested (lactate, acetate, alpha-ketoglutarate, or glyoxylate) were unable to restore motility in rutamycin-treated cells. In the presence of pyruvate, the phosphorylation uncoupler, carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethyoxphenylhydrazone, reduced motility and ATP to common levels in untreated cells or cells treated with rutamycin or rotenone. Pyruvate is thus metabolized to produce ATP by a pathway independent of oxidative phosphorylation associated with the electron transport chain. 5-Methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, an inhibitor of lipoyldehydrogenase, prevented the increase of motility and ATP in rutamycin-treated cells, indicating that alpha-keto acid oxidation is involved in the production of ATP from pyruvate when rutamycin is present. With pyruvate present, bongkrekic acid, antimycin A, and anaerobiosis eliminated motility, reduced ATP to low levels, and also significantly reduced the rate of pyruvate metabolism. Acetate was produced from pyruvate only when cellular ATP concentrations were low. Decreases in free carnitine concentrations showed that pyruvate initially used was converted to acetylcarnitine. The results indicate that the intramitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase X, which is unique to spermatozoa, allows the NADH resulting from pyruvate oxidation to reduce other pyruvate molecules to lactate. Pyruvate thus competes with, and can substitute for, the NADH dehydrogenase of the electron transport chain. Pyruvate rapidly repletes the acetylcarnitine pool under a variety of conditions.

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is a primary myocardial disease of unknown cause. We tested the hypothesis that IDCM was associated with a myocardial metabolic defect by determining a comprehensive biochemical profile of metabolite concentrations and enzyme activities for the major metabolic pathways of the myocardium. We used the Doberman pinscher breed as a naturally occurring canine model of IDCM and compared its myocardial profile with that of healthy adult mongrels. Compared with controls, myocardium in IDCM had markedly reduced mitochondrial electron transport activity and myoglobin concentration, in association with acidosis and energy depletion following anoxic challenge: 60% decreased NADH dehydrogenase and 50% decreased ATP synthetase activities; 90% decreased myoglobin concentration; and 30% reduced ATP and 50% increased lactate and proton concentrations. Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-transport ATPase was decreased by 42%. There was a 15% compensatory increase in fatty acid oxidation and Krebs cycle activity. Other biochemical changes were mild by comparison with the mitochondrial defects. We conclude that IDCM is associated with a marked impairment of mitochondrial production of ATP, arising from decreased activity of the mitochondrial electron transport system, including myoglobin. These changes may be secondary to an underlying genetic defect or may indicate a deficiency of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that predisposes this breed to heart failure.

The sequence of 13.9 kilobases (kb) of the 17.1-kb mitochondrial genome of Mytilus edulis has been determined, and the arrangement of all genes has been deduced. Mytilus mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains 37 genes, all of which are transcribed from the same DNA strand. The gene content of Mytilus is typically metazoan in that it includes genes for large and small ribosomal RNAs, for a complete set of transfer RNAs and for 12 proteins. The protein genes encode the cytochrome b apoenzyme, cytochrome c oxidase (CO) subunits I-III, NADH dehydrogenase (ND) subunits 1-6 and 4L, and ATP synthetase (ATPase) subunit 6. No gene for ATPase subunit 8 could be found. The reading frames for the ND1, COI, and COIII genes contain long extensions relative to those genes in other metazoan mtDNAs. There are 23 tRNA genes, one more than previously found in any metazoan mtDNA. The additional tRNA appears to specify methionine, making Mytilus mtDNA unique in having two tRNA(Met) genes. Five lengthy unassigned intergenic sequences are present, four of which vary in length from 79 to 119 nucleotides and the largest of which is 1.2 kb. The base compositions of these are unremarkable and do not differ significantly from that of the remainder of the mtDNA. The arrangement of genes in Mytilus mtDNA is remarkably unlike that found in any other known metazoan mtDNA.

Manganese is known to accumulate in mitochondria and in mitochondria-rich tissues in vivo. Although Ca2+ enhances mitochondrial Mn2+ uptake, ATP-bound Mn2+ is not sequestered by suspended rat brain mitochondria, and ATP binds Mn2+ even more tightly than it binds Mg2+. Physiological levels of the polyamine spermine enhanced 54 Mn2+ uptake at the low [Ca2+]s characteristic of unstimulated cells (approximately 100 nM). With succinate as substrate, Mn2+ inhibited oxygen consumption by suspensions of rat liver mitochondria after the addition of ADP but not after the addition of uncoupler. With glutamate/malate as substrate, Mn2+ inhibited ADP-stimulated respiration and also slightly inhibited uncoupler-stimulated respiration. State 4 (resting) respiration was unchanged in all cases, indicating that the inner membrane retained its impermeability to protons. These results suggest that Mn2+ was not oxidized and that it can interfere directly with oxidative phosphorylation, most likely by binding to the F1 ATPase. Mn2+ may also bind to the NADH dehydrogenase complex, but not strongly enough to affect electron transport in vivo. It is suggested that accumulation of manganese within the mitochondria of globus pallidus may help explain the distinctive pathology of manganism.

Intermediate and short stumpy bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei are transitional stages in the differentiation of mammal-infective long slender bloodstream forms into the procyclic forms found in the midgut of the tsetse vector. Although the mitochondria of the proliferative long slender forms do not accumulate rhodamine 123, the mitochondria of the transitional forms attain this ability thus revealing the development of an electromotive force (EMF) across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The EMF is inhibited by 2,4-dinitrophenol, rotenone and salicylhydroxamic acid but not by antimycin A or cyanide. Consequently, NADH dehydrogenase, site I of oxidative phosphorylation, is the source of the EMF and the plant-like trypanosome alternative oxidase (TAO) supports the electron flow serving as the terminal oxidase of the chain. Although the TAO is present in the long slender forms as well, it serves only as the terminal oxidase for electrons from glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The data presented here, combined with older data, lead to the conclusion that the mitochondria of transitional intermediate and short stumpy forms likely produce ATP. This putative production is either by F1F0 ATPase driven by the complex I proton pump or by mitochondrial substrate level phosphorylation, or most likely by both. These conclusions contrast with the previously held dogma that all bloodstream form mitochondria are incapable of ATP production.

Mammalian mitochondrial DNA codes for 13 proteins, which are all components of energy transducing enzyme complexes of the respiratory chain, i.e. the complexes which translocate protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The number of subunits of these enzyme complexes increase with increasing evolutionary stage of the organism. The additional nuclear coded subunits of the enzyme complexes from higher organisms are involved in the regulation of respiration, as demonstrated by the influence of intraliposomal ATP and ADP on the reconstituted cytochrome c oxidase (COX) from bovine heart. This regulation is not found with the reconstituted enzyme from P. denitrificans, which lacks the nuclear coded subunits. Some of the nuclear coded subunits occur in tissue-specific isoforms, as reported for COX and NADH dehydrogenase. Tissue-specific regulation of COX activity is also demonstrated by the differential effects of intraliposomal ADP on the kinetics of reconstituted COX from bovine liver and heart, which differ in subunits VIa, VIIa and VIII. At least 3 different COX isozymes occur in bovine liver, heart or skeletal muscle and smooth muscle. An evolutionary relationship between COX subunits VIa and VIc and between VIIa and VIIb is suggested based on the crossreactivity of monoclonal antibodies, amino acid sequence homology and hybridization at low stringency of PCR-amplified cDNAs for subunits VIa-1, VIa-h and VIc from the rat.

Modeling of ischemic phenomena in vitro has been hindered by the inability to create specific alterations in the variables of interest over a defined time-frame. In particular, changes in the adenine nucleotide pool have been quite difficult to mimic because of the putative low metabolic rate in culture and the long times necessary to achieve even partial chemical energy depletion. Here we present evidence for a rapid method of producing a profound chemical energy depletion with the combination of a NADH dehydrogenase inhibitor (amytal) and a mitochondrial proton ionophore (CCCP). Treatment with our protocol in enriched spinal cultures results in a 40% decrease in ATP within 2 min and a fall to one-third of control values by 15 min. The overall pool size of the total adenine nucleotides is decreased 46% by 15 min and does not completely recover after 5 min of reenergization. The ATP/ADP ratio declines to one-third of control values during deenergization and returns to control values after 5 min in control buffer. Such a loss of the total adenylate pool closely mimics that seen in vivo during ischemia and provides an in vitro model system in which the effects of the combination of this means of cellular injury with others (e.g., excitotoxins) may be examined.

The control exerted in vivo by mitochondrial functions on the dynamics of glycolysis was investigated in starved yeast cells that were metabolizing glucose semianaerobically. Glycolytic oscillations were triggered after a pulse of glucose by inhibition of mitochondrial respiration with KCN, myxothiazol and antimycin A or in mutants in the bc1 complex (ubiquinol:cytochrome c reductase) that were largely deficient in respiratory capacity. Inhibition of the adenine nucleotide translocator by preincubation with bongkrekic acid also triggered a train of damped sinusoidal oscillations after glucose addition. The oscillations consisted of cycles of reduction and oxidation of the intracellular pool of nicotinamide nucleotides with periods of 45 s to 1 min and amplitudes of 0.8 mM or lower. Preincubation with the uncoupler carbonyl cyamide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP) annihilated cyanide-induced oscillations of NAD(P)H. Evidence for de-energization of mitochondrial membranes in vivo was obtained by mitochondrial staining with dimethylaminostyryl-methyl-pyridiniumiodine (DASPMI) of starved cells. The low rates of NADH reoxidation shown by respiratory mutants and the FCCP-treated X2180 strain open up the possibility that mitochondrial dehydrogenases also control glycolytic oscillations. Low rates of cytosolic NADH reoxidation induced by pyrazole, an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, were also associated with the disappearance of glycolytic oscillations. From experimental evidence and model calculations we conclude that the modulation of the levels of cytosolic ATP by mitochondrial functions in turn modulates the approach of the dynamic behavior of glycolysis to an oscillatory domain. The mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase and the glycolytic steps associated with NADH reoxidation downstream from pyruvate appear to provide another control level of glycolysis dynamics in vivo.
