X-band electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopy at 4.2--77K combined with measurements of oxidation-reduction potential was used to identify iron--sulphur centres in Arum maculatum (cuckoo-pint) mitochondria. In the oxidized state a signal with a derivative maximum at g = 2.02 was assigned to succinate dehydrogenase centre S-3. Unreduced particles showed additional signals at g = 2.04 and 1.98 (at 9.2 GHz), which may be due to a spin-spin interaction. In the reduced state a prominent signal at g = 1.93 and 2.02 was resolved into at least three components that could be assigned to centres S-1 and S-2 of succinate dehydrogenase (midpoint potentials -7 and -240 mV respectively at pH 7.2) and a small amount of centre N-1b (e'o= -240 mV) of NADH-ubiquinone reductase. In addition, changes in line shape around -10 mV indicated the presence of a fourth component in this signal. The latter was more readily reduced by NADH than by succinate, suggesting that it might be associated with the external NADH dehydrogenase. The iron-sulphur centres of NADH-ubiquinone reductase were present in an unusually low concentration, indicating that the alternative, non-phosphorylating, NADH dehydrogenase containing a low number of iron-sulphur centres may be responsible for most of the high rate of oxidation of NADH.

A yeast strain (SP1) resistant to glucose repression modified simultaneously in the fermentative and in the oxidative pathways (loss of alcohol dehydrogenase I and over production of cytochrome a + a3, being insensitive to the glucose effect) developed a secondary mitochondrial hydrogen pathway. Oxidative phosphorylation was measured with exogenous NADH as substrate on mitochondria derived from repressed or derepressed cells. In this strain, antimycin A promotes a partial inhibition of NADH oxidation but a complete inhibition of phosphorylation. Amytal partially inhibits oxidation of NADH but not phosphorylation. KCN inhibits NADH oxidation in a biphasic way (first level 0.1 mM, second level 5 mM) but phosphorylation was fully inhibited by 0.1 mM KCN. This alternative but non-phosphorylating pathway is insensitive to salicyl hydroxamate. The external NADH dehydrogenase, like cytochrome c oxidase is partially insensitive to catabolite repression. These results provide evidence for the presence in strain SP1 of an alternative mitochondrial pathway, going from the external NADH dehydrogenase to an oxidase, different from the normal NADH dehydrogenase ubiquinone pathway.

The reduction and the potential autoxidation of quinoid compounds may be viewed as taking place in three cell compartments. In microsomal fractions (endoplasmic reticulum) one-electron reduction by NAPDH-cytochrome P450 reductase leads to the formation of semiquinones which rapidly react with oxygen to form the parent quinone and superoxide anions. The formation of superoxide through this futile cycle leads ultimately to other damaging species (H2O2 and .OH). A similar futile cycle in mitochondria involves NADH dehydrogenase. In this instance, mitochondria initiation of such a cycle with quinones results not only in the formation of toxic radical species but also in the diversion of electrons from phosphorylating pathways. The consequent diminution of cellular ATP may have as important a consequence with respect to the toxicity of quinones as the generation of radicals. Finally, cytosolic DT diaphorase, which carries out a two-electron reduction of quinones to more stable hydroquinones, may compete with the one-electron systems and participate in the detoxification of quinones by supplying hydroquinones for conjugation reactions. The extent of quinone-induced damage may thus vary from cell to cell depending on the integration of these pathways.

Erythrocyte ghost NADH dehydrogenase is inhibited in a competitive fashion by ATP and ADP whereas other nucleoside di- and triphosphates, cyclic nucleosides, as well as non-phosphorylating ATP analogs are relatively ineffective. In addition, this enzyme, measured with ferricyanide as electron acceptor, is inhibited by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation (proton-conducting reagents), the inhibition being competitive in character (i.e., the uncouplers were without influence upon maximum velocity). The effectiveness of the uncouplers was in the order of their hydrophobic character with the presence of the alkyl side chain rendering nonyl-dinitrophenol much more active than 2,6-dinitrophenol itself. Hydrophobic compounds that are not protonophores (e.g., eosin, proflavin or valinomycin) were not inhibitory. Whereas adenine nucleotides probably inhibit NADH oxidation competitively through structural similarity with the substrate, it appears unlikely that uncouplers compete at the NADH site directly. Rather, the apparently-competitive inhibition in the latter case may reflect competition for proton transfer to an acceptor residing in a hydrophobic region of the enzyme complex.

There are multiple routes of NAD(P)H oxidation associated with the inner membrane of plant mitochondria. These are the phosphorylating NADH dehydrogenase, otherwise known as Complex I, and at least four other nonphosphorylating NAD(P)H dehydrogenases. Complex I has been isolated from beetroot, broad bean, and potato mitochondria. It has at least 32 polypeptides associated with it, contains FMN as its prosthetic group, and the purified enzyme is sensitive to inhibition by rotenone. In terms of subunit complexity it appears similar to the mammalian and fungal enzymes. Some polypeptides display antigenic similarity to subunits from Neurospora crassa but little cross-reactivity to antisera raised against some beef heart complex I subunits. Plant complex I contains eight mitochondrial encoded subunits with the remainder being nuclear-encoded. Two of these mitochondrial-encoded subunits, nad7 and nad9, show homology to corresponding nuclear-encoded subunits in Neurospora crassa (49 and 30 kDa, respectively) and beef heart CI (49 and 31 kDa, respectively), suggesting a marked difference between the assembly of CI from plants and the fungal and mammalian enzymes. As well as complex I, plant mitochondria contain several type-II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases which mediate rotenone-insensitive oxidation of cytosolic and matrix NADH. We have isolated three of these dehydrogenases from beetroot mitochondria which are similar to enzymes isolated from potato mitochondria. Two of these enzymes are single polypeptides (32 and 55 kDa) and appear similar to those found in maize mitochondria, which have been localized to the outside of the inner membrane. The third enzyme appears to be a dimer comprised of two identical 43-kDa subunits. It is this enzyme that we believe contributes to rotenone-insensitive oxidation of matrix NADH. In addition to this type-II dehydrogenases, several observations suggest the presence of a smaller form of CI present in plant mitochondria which is insensitive to rotenone inhibition. We propose that this represents the peripheral arm of CI in plant mitochondria and may participate in nonphosphorylating matrix NADH oxidation.

Isosteviol lactone (LAC), a lactone derivative of the diterpenic acid isosteviol (ISO) was evaluated for its effect on the oxidative metabolism of mitochondria isolated from rat liver. In this model, LAC (1 mM) depressed the phosphorylation efficiency, as shown by the decreased respiratory control coefficient (RCC) and ADP/O ratio. LAC (1 mM) inhibited NADH oxidase (45%), succinate oxidase (34%) and promoted low-level inhibitions on succinate dehydrogenase (13%), succinate-cytochrome c oxide-reductase (23%), cytochrome c oxidase (10%), and NADH dehydrogenase (13%). Glutamate dehydrogenase was also a target for LAC, as it was 85% inhibited by 1 mM LAC. Cyclic voltammetry data showed that LAC, as well as ISO, does not undergo redox reactions under current experimental conditions. LAC (0.05-0.75 mM) inhibited the swelling dependent on the glutamate oxidation, 50% of the effect occurring at 0.5 mM LAC. Swelling supported by KNO(3) and valinomycin was also inhibited over all concentrations used of LAC and ISO, the effect being of a lower intensity for LAC, suggesting that the modification of the structure of ISO by lactonization diminished its interaction with the membrane. This could contribute to attenuation of the toxic effects described for ISO on mitochondrial function, such as those on respiratory chain enzymatic complexes and phosphorylating activity.

The respiration of dark-grown Nicotiana glutinosa L. cells in liquid suspension culture was found to be highly cyanide resistant and salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) sensitive, indicative of an active alternative respiratory pathway. This was especially true during the lag and logarithmic phases of the 14-day growth cycle. Mitochondria isolated from logarithmically growing cells exhibited active oxidation of malate, succinate, and exogenous NADH. Oxidation of all three substrates had an optimum pH of 6.5 and all were highly resistant to inhibited by cyanide and sensitive to SHAM. Respiratory control was exhibited by all three substrates but only if SHAM was present to block the alternative pathway and divert electrons to the phosphorylating cytochrome pathway. The cyanide-resistant oxidation of exogenous NADH has previously only been associated with Arum spadix mitochondria. Coemergence during evolution of the alternative respiratory pathway and the exogenous NADH dehydrogenase in plant mitochondria as a possible mechanism for removal of cytoplasmic NADH is proposed. Evidence is presented which suggests that mitochondrial assays should be performed at pH 6.5.

Differences between the respiratory chain of the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and its mammalian host are reported. Respiration, membrane potential, and oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria from P. brasiliensis spheroplasts were evaluated in situ, and the presence of a complete (Complex I-V) functional respiratory chain was demonstrated. In succinate-energized mitochondria, ADP induced a transition from resting to phosphorylating respiration. The presence of an alternative NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase was indicated by: (i) the ability to oxidize exogenous NADH and (ii) the lack of sensitivity to rotenone and presence of sensitivity to flavone. Malate/NAD(+)-supported respiration suggested the presence of either a mitochondrial pyridine transporter or a glyoxylate pathway contributing to NADH and/or succinate production. Partial sensitivity of NADH/succinate-supported respiration to antimycin A and cyanide, as well as sensitivity to benzohydroxamic acids, suggested the presence of an alternative oxidase in the yeast form of the fungus. An increase in activity and gene expression of the alternative NADH dehydrogenase throughout the yeast's exponential growth phase was observed. This increase was coupled with a decrease in Complex I activity and gene expression of its subunit 6. These results support the existence of alternative respiratory chain pathways in addition to Complex I, as well as the utilization of NADH-linked substrates by P. brasiliensis. These specific components of the respiratory chain could be useful for further research and development of pharmacological agents against the fungus.

In mitochondria isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, under non-phosphorylating conditions, we have previously shown that there is a right of way for electrons coming from the external NADH dehydrogenase, Nde1p. In this work, we show that the electron competition process is identical under more physiological conditions i.e. oxidative phosphorylation. Such a competition generates a priority for cytosolic NADH reoxidation. Furthermore, this electron competition process is associated with an energy wastage (the "active leak") that allows an increase in redox equivalent oxidation when the redox pressure increases. When this redox pressure is decreased, i.e. under phosphorylating conditions, most of this energy wastage is alleviated. By studying mutant strains affected either in respiratory chain supramolecular organization or in electron competition activity, we show that the respiratory chain supramolecular organization is not responsible for the electron competition processes. Moreover, we show two distinct relationships between the respiratory rate and the quinone redox state that seem to indicate two quinone pools that are involved in the electron right of way. Indeed, the more reduced pool would be associated to the electron right of way for the external dehydrogenases whereas the less reduced pool would be associated to the electron right of way for the internal dehydrogenases.

Mitochondrial protein tyrosine phosphorylation is an important mechanism for the modulation of mitochondrial functions. In the present study, we have identified novel substrates of c-Src in mitochondria and investigated their function in the regulation of oxidative phosphorylation. The Src family kinase inhibitor PP2 {amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl) pyrazolo [3,4d] pyrimidine} exhibits significant reduction of respiration. Similar results were obtained from cells expressing kinase-dead c-Src, which harbours a mitochondrial-targeting sequence. Phosphorylation-site analysis selects c-Src targets, including NDUFV2 (NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] flavoprotein 2) at Tyr(193) of respiratory complex I and SDHA (succinate dehydrogenase A) at Tyr(215) of complex II. The phosphorylation of these sites by c-Src is supported by an in vivo assay using cells expressing their phosphorylation-defective mutants. Comparison of cells expressing wild-type proteins and their mutants reveals that NDUFV2 phosphorylation is required for NADH dehydrogenase activity, affecting respiration activity and cellular ATP content. SDHA phosphorylation shows no effect on enzyme activity, but perturbed electron transfer, which induces reactive oxygen species. Loss of viability is observed in T98G cells and the primary neurons expressing these mutants. These results suggest that mitochondrial c-Src regulates the oxidative phosphorylation system by phosphorylating respiratory components and that c-Src activity is essential for cell viability.
