Local anesthetics and alcohols were found to inhibit mitochondrial electron transport at several points along the chain. THe anesthetics employed were the tertiary amines procaine, tetracaine, dibucaine, and chlorpromazine, and the alcohols were n-butamol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol, and benzyl alcohol. Uncoupled sonic submitochondrial particles from beef heart and rat liver were studied. We report the following: (1) All of the anesthetics were found to inhibit each of the segments of the electron transport chain assayed; these included cytochrome c oxidase, durohydroquinone oxidase, succinate oxidase, NADH oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase, succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, and NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase. (2) NADH oxidase and NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase required the lowest concentration of anesthetic for inhibition, and cytochrome c oxidase required the highest concentrations. (3) We conclude that there are several points along the chain at which inhibition occurs, the most sensitive being in the region of Complex I (NADH dehydrogenase). (4) Beef heart submitochondrial particles are less sensitive to inhibition than are rat liver particles. (5) Low concentrations of several of the anesthetics gave enhancement of electron transport activity, whereas higher concentrations of the same agents caused inhibition. (6) The concentrations of anesthetics (alcohol and tertiary amine) which gave 50% inhibition of NADH oxidase were lower than the reported concentrations required for blockage of frog sciatic nerve.

Purified L-3-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase from pig brain mitochondria interacts with ubiquinone-10 and ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (Complex III) from bovine heart mitochondria to reconstitute antimycin-sensitive L-3-glycerophosphate- cytochrome c oxidoreductase. This activity is completely dependent on the two enzymes and largely dependent on ubiquinone-10. Reconstitution requires that the two enzymes should be simultaneously present in the same membranous aggregate produced by removal of detergent from the enzymes. Reconstitution by removing detergent by dialysis or dilution is inefficient because of self-aggregation of the dehydrogenase. Highly efficient reconstitution can be achieved if the enzymes are co-precipitated by addition of ethanol. The rate with reconstituted enzyme approaches that expected from the turnover of the dehydrogenase with ubiquinone-1 as acceptor. The behaviour of the reconstituted system shows some of the characteristics expected for a stoicheiometric association of one molecule of dehydrogenase with one molecule of Complex III. On raising the phospholipid/protein ratio, the dehydrogenase and Complex III appear to operate as independent enzymes acting in sequence. These effects are very similar to those observed for the interaction of NADH dehydrogenase and Complex III and are explained in terms of the model proposed by Heron, Ragan & Trumpower [(1978) biochem. J. 174, 791-800].

Impairment of electron transport was studied in rat liver sonicated submitochondrial particles. The most susceptible portion was located from NADH dehydrogenase to coenzyme Q. Tetrachloroethylene increased the Michaelis constant (Km) and decreased the maximum velocity (Vmax) of cytochrome c reduction by NADH-cytochrome c reductase. The results suggest that tetrachloroethylene does not represent a specific inhibitor of the particular carrier but decreased the electron flow at the susceptible portion in the mitochondrial inner membrane.

In isolated rat liver mitochondria, respiration was competitively inhibited by medium chain length (C8 to C13) dicarboxylic acids to different extents: the higher the number of carbon atoms up to C12, the greater the inhibition. In particular, experiments on submitochondrial particles showed that the competitive inhibition concerned the following enzymes: NADH dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase and reduced ubiquinone: cytochrome c oxido-reductase. These results tend to confirm the suggestion that the melanocytotoxic effect of dicarboxylic acids, which are also competitive inhibitors of tyrosinase, may be primarily due to an antimitochondrial effect rather than being tyrosinase-dependent.

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.

Treatment of M. lysodeikticus protoplasts with subtilisin or pronase did not affect their permeability and led to a digestion of 20--30% of protein. DS-Na electrophoresis of protoplast membranes resulted in disappearance of three protein bands. This suggests that the outer surface of M. lysodeikticus protoplasts contains three proteins other than respiratory chain enzymes, which are subjected to an attack by proteinases. Treatment of the M. lysodeikticus membranes, isolated by osmotic shock, with proteinases resulted in a digestion of 20--50% of protein. The factors preventing the interaction between the membrane components (e.g. decrease of Mg2+ concentration, ultrasound, KCl, EDTA and particularly detergents) favoured the proteolysis; however, the bulk of the proteins remained insensitive to the effect of proteinases. The membranes pretreated with DS-Na or chlorophorm--methanol mixture proved to be good substrates for proteinases. Treatment of the membrane fraction with proteolytic enzymes allowed to obtain some data on localization of respiratory chain enzymes in the membrane stroma of M. lysodeikticus. Thus, cytochrome c is localized nearer to the membrane surface than cytochromes a and b, while malate dehydrogenase is plunged deeper into the membrane stroma as compared to NADH dehydrogenase.

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.

The interaction of xanthomegnin, a quinone pigment, with the mitochondrial respiratory chain was demonstrated. Xanthomegnin was reduced by succinate, in the presence of submitochondrial particles or mitochondria, only after all oxygen had been consumed in the system, and the reduction was inhibited by antimycin A or KCN. Xanthomegnin was immediately reduced by NADH in a similar system, the reduced xanthomegnin was reoxidized by oxygen but the reduction by NADH was not inhibited by antimycin A or KCN. Xanthomegnin was also immediately reduced by NADH catalyzed by a purified particulate NADH dehydrogenase complex showing a molar ratio of 2 moles NADH for one mole of xanthomegnin. Reoxidation of the reduced pigment by oxygen occurred in this system. Oxygen consumption was accelerated when xanthomegnin was added to a reaction medium containing NADH, NADH segment and cytochrome c oxidase. Subsequent addition of cytochrome c resulted in a further marked acceleration of oxygen consumption. These results suggest that xanthomegnin interacts with the NAD-linked respiratory chain to produce a xanthomegnin shunt, but this does not occur with the succinate-linked chain.

Treatment of rats with hydroxycobalamin[c-lactam] (HCCL), a cobalamin antagonist, results in both increased hepatic mitochondrial content and the development of defects in mitochondrial ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase. The present study was designed to evaluate changes in hepatic mitochondrial RNA contents in response to HCCL treatment in rats. After 2 weeks of HCCL treatment, hepatic contents of the mature mitochondrial mRNAs (expressed normalized to 28 S rRNA) encoding subunit II of cytochrome c oxidase (CO II), subunit 1 of NADH dehydrogenase (ND1), and cytochrome b were reduced to values 40-60% of those observed in RNA from control liver tissue. In addition, HCCL induced a pronounced accumulation of high molecular weight RNA species which hybridized to mitochondrial probes and represented polycistronic RNA sequences. The polycistronic RNAs were products of the heavy strand of the mitochondrial genome, and major species demonstrated hybridization patterns consistent with identifications corresponding to the 12-16 S rRNA, 12-16 S-ND1, 16 S-ND1, and CO II-ATP synthase subunit 6 regions of the mitochondrial genome. Maximal expression of the polycistronic mitochondrial RNA was observed after 2 weeks of HCCL treatment. Thus, HCCL treatment interferes with mitochondrial RNA processing and decreases the content of mature mitochondrial mRNAs. Altered expression of the mitochondrial genome may be responsible for the decreased electron transport chain activity known to result from HCCL administration.

Electron transport and production of O2-/H2O2 by the NADH dehydrogenase flavin-semiquinone (FMNH.) and ubisemiquinone (UQH.) were studied in a model of in vivo ischemia-reperfusion in rat kidney. H2O2 production rates were assessed in isolated mitochondria using either succinate, with and without antimycin, or malate-glutamate, with and without rotenone. Respiratory activities of isolated mitochondria and activity of NADH- and succinate-cytochrome c reductase and of NADH- and succinate-dehydrogenase in submitochondrial particles were measured to evaluate the electron flux throughout respiratory carriers. The mitochondrial H2O2 production rate was approximately 1.5- and 4-times increased in ischemic and ischemic-reperfused kidneys, respectively. Ischemia caused a marked decrease in the electron transport throughout the NADH-UQ segment with no significant changes either in the NADH dehydrogenase activity or in the electron flux trough the succinate-cytochrome oxidase segment. Reperfusion did not further affect the NADH-ubiquinone segment but markedly inhibited the succinate-supported oxygen consumption, succinate-cytochrome c reductase and succinate dehydrogenase activity. Our results show a redistribution of the electron flux with an increased rate of superoxide anion/hydrogen peroxide production at NADH dehydrogenase in mitochondria subjected to ischemia only. After 10 min reperfusion an impairment of the electron flow at succinate-cytochrome c segment is established and hydrogen peroxide production by UQH. increases up to maximal values becoming the major source of superoxide anion/hydrogen peroxide.
