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.

Nanaomycin D reductase which is involved in the biosynthesis of the antifungal antibiotic nanaomycin catalyzes the formation of nanaomycin A from nanaomycin D in the presence of NADH under anaerobic conditions. On the other hand, under aerobic conditions NADH is consumed and nanaomycin A formation is markedly reduced. These findings suggest that nanaomycin A synthesis is not due to the direct reduction of the 5-membered lactone ring of nanaomycin D. Reduction of various quinones by the enzyme was examined. It was found that nanaomycin A is converted to its hydroquinone derivative in the presence of NADH under anaerobic conditions, whereas NADH consumption alone is observed under aerobic conditions. When p-benzoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone or menadione is used instead of nanaomycin D, NADH is also consumed. These results indicate that: (1) these compounds act as electron acceptors, (2) O2 functions as final electron acceptor under aerobic conditions, and (3) nanaomycin D reductase is, in fact, an NADH dehydrogenase (quinone). Changes in the UV-absorption spectrum of a reaction mixture containing nanaomycin D and NADH indicate that a hydroquinone derivative is formed as an intermediate during nanaomycin A formation. Similar results were obtained when nanaomycin D is reduced chemically with NaBH4 or Zn powder. It was concluded that nanaomycin D is converted to a hydroquinone derivative and that nanaomycin A is then formed nonenzymatically through intramolecular electron transfer.

A new peroxide compound (ML-X) was isolated from an autoxidation product of methyl linoleate and was determined as methyl 9-hydroperoxy-12, 13-epoxy-10-octadecenoate. This compound inhibited state 3 respiration of rat heart- and liver mitochondria when glutamate and malate were used as substrates, but not when the substrate was succinate. State 4 respiration of mitochondria was not affected when glutamate-malate was used as the substrate, but it was stimulated when the substrate was succinate. ML-X inhibited oxidative phosphorylation of the mitochondria and abolished the membrane potential formed by respiration or by added ATP. NADH oxidase activity of submitochondrial particles was inhibited by ML-X but succinate oxidase activity was not inhibited. NADH-acceptor reductase activities of submitochondrial particles were inhibited by ML-X to the same extents as by rotenone. These findings show that ML-X has dual effects on mitochondrial respiration as (1) an inhibitor of NADH dehydrogenase complex and (2) an uncoupler. Neither methyl linoleate monohydroperoxide nor methyl epoxy stearate has such effects. ML-X is a new type of inhibitor-uncoupler of mitochondrial respiration in which hydroperoxy- and epoxy groups co-operate.

This paper presents biochemical data upon a young male with a mitochondrial myopathy characterised by weakness, severe exercise intolerance, muscle wasting and exercise-induced lactic acidaemia. Two similar cases have been previously documented (Morgan-Hughes et al. 1979). This report more precisely locates the mitochondrial defect. In vitro mitochondrial studies show markedly decreased respiratory rates with all NAD-linked substrates whilst that with flavin-linked succinate is normal. Oxidative phosphorylation is normally coupled. Mitochondrial cytochrome components as determined by low temperature spectroscopy are normal. NADH-ferricyanide reductase and primary dehydrogenase activities are present at levels far in excess of that required to support normal NAD-linked substrate oxidation rates. Intramitochondrial NAD levels are similar to those found in other mammalian muscle. It is proposed therefore that the mitochondrial defect is situated between NADH dehydrogenase and the CoQ--Cytochrome b complex; possibly being a derangement of a non-haem iron sulphur centre.

The role of flavins in vitamin K function was assessed by examining blood coagulation and in vitro activities of hepatic vitamin K-dependent enzymes from control and riboflavin-deficient rats. One-stage prothrombin times and Factor VII activities were lower in flavin-deficient rats than in ad libitum or pair-fed controls. Fibrinogen, prothrombin, and Factor X activities were normal. Hepatic vitamin K-dependent carboxylase activity was severely depressed in flavin-deficient rats when assayed with [vitamin K + NADH] and somewhat depressed with reduced vitamin K (vitamin KH2) as substrate. One-hour flavin repletion appreciably restored [vitamin K + NADH]-dependent activity, but vitamin KH2-dependent activity was not restored even after 16 hours repletion. These results suggest that the carboxylating enzyme itself is not a flavoprotein, but that the microsomal NADH dehydrogenase required for [vitamin K + NADH]-dependent carboxylation is a flavoprotein. This dehydrogenase may differ from the cytosolic Warfarin-inhibitable 'DT-diaphorase' in that the activity of the latter, which is reduced 50% in flavin-deficient rats, is not at all restored by one-hour flavin repletion. Flavin status-dependent differences in NADH-dependent or vitamin KH2-dependent epoxidation of vitamin K paralleled differences in the carboxylase. Flavin deficiency had no effect on vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase activity nor on its inhibition by Warfarin.

The synthesis of 6-substituted 5-(thienylvinyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles and 6-thienylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles is reported. These compounds were tested as specific inhibitors of the NADH: ubiquinone (UBQ) reductase activity of NADH dehydrogenase in mitochondrial membranes. The 6-thienylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles were more potent in mammalian than in nematode mitochondria and had an average titer of 0.11 mM for 2-methyl-6-(2-thienyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (10). This compound is noncompetitive with the ubiquinone substrate and interacts with a site which is mutually exclusive with that of rotenone but nonexclusive with that of piericidin and several other inhibitors of NADH dehydrogenase. In the series of 5-(thienylvinyl)imidazothiazoles, the hydrobromide of (E)-6-chloro-5-(2-thienylvinyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (E-5.HBr) was found to be more potent as an inhibitor of the NADH:UBQ activity (IC50 = 15-17 microM) than the 6-thienylimidazoles such as 10. The inhibitory action of E-5.HBr and its analogs is different from that of compound 10 as indicated by the mutual exclusivity with other inhibitors and the relative inhibition of the activity with various electron acceptors.

A genomic DNA fragment from Desulfovibrio fructosovorans, which strongly hybridized with the hydAB genes from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, was cloned and sequenced. This fragment was found to contain four genes, named hndA, hndB, hndC, and hndD. Analysis of the sequence homologies indicated that HndA shows 29, 21, and 26% identity with the 24-kDa subunit from Bos taurus complex I, the 25-kDa subunit from Paracoccus denitrificans NADH dehydrogenase type I, and the N-terminal domain of HoxF subunit of the NAD-reducing hydrogenase from Alcaligenes eutrophus, respectively. HndB does not show any significant homology with any known protein. HndC shows 37 and 33% identity with the C-terminal domain of HoxF and the 51-kDa subunit from B. taurus complex I, respectively, and has the requisite structural features to be able to bind one flavin mononucleotide, one NAD, and three [4Fe-4S] clusters. HndD has 40, 42, and 48% identity with hydrogenase I from Clostridium pasteurianum and HydC and HydA from D. vulgaris Hildenborough, respectively. The 4.5-kb length of the transcripts expressed in D. fructosovorans and in Escherichia coli (pSS13) indicated that all four genes were present on the same transcription unit. The sizes of the four polypeptides were measured by performing heterologous expression of hndABCD in E. coli, using the T7 promoter/polymerase system. The products of hndA, hndB, hndC, and hndD were 18.8, 13.8, 52, and 63.4 kDa, respectively. One hndC deletion mutant, called SM3, was constructed by performing marker exchange mutagenesis. Immunoblotting studies carried out on cell extracts from D. fructosovorans wild-type and SM3 strains, using antibodies directed against HndC, indicated that the 52-kDa protein was recognized in extracts from the wild-type strain only. In soluble extracts from D. fructosovorans wild type, a 10-fold induction of NADP reduction was observed when H(2) was present, but no H(2)-dependent NAD reduction ever occurred. This H(2)-dependent NADP reductase activity disappeared completely in extracts from SM3. These results indicate that the hnd operon actually encodes an NAdP-reducing hydrogenase in D. fructosovorans.

Chloroplasts and cyanobacteria contain genes encoding polypeptides homologous to some subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory NADH-ubiquinol oxidoreductase complex (NADH dehydrogenase). Nothing is known of the role of the NADH dehydrogenase complex in photosynthesis, respiration, or other functions in chloroplasts, and little is known about the specific roles of the perhaps 42 subunits of this complex in the mitochondrion. Inactivation of a gene for subunit 4 (ndhD-2, ndh4) of this complex in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803 has no effect on photosynthesis, judging from the rate of photoautotrophic growth of mutant cells, but the mutant's respiratory rate is about 6 times greater than that of wild-type cells. Respiratory electron transport activity in cyanobacteria is associated both with photosynthetic thylakoid membranes and with the outer cytoplasmic membrane of the cell. Cytoplasmic membranes of mutant cells have much greater NADH-dependent cytochrome reductase activity than preparations from wild-type cells; this activity remains at wild-type levels in isolated thylakoid membranes. It is suggested that the 56.6-kD product of ndhD-2 is not essential for the activity of a cytoplasmic membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase but that it regulates the rate of electron flow through the complex, establishing a link between this ndh gene and respiration. The activity of the molecularly distinct thylakoid-bound NADH dehydrogenase is apparently unaffected by the loss of ndhD-2.

Amphibacillus xylanus Ep01, a facultative anaerobe we recently isolated, shows rapid aerobic growth even though it lacks a respiratory pathway. Thus, the oxidative consumption of NADH, produced during glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation, should be especially important for maintenance of intracellular redox balance in this bacterium. We purified a flavoprotein functional as NADH oxidase from aerobically growing A. xylanus Ep01. The A. xylanus enzyme is a homotetramer composed of a subunit (M(r) 56,000) containing 1 mol of flavin adenine dinucleotide. This enzyme catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide with beta-NADH as the preferred electron donor and exhibits no activity with NADPH. The flavoprotein gene of A. xylanus Ep01 was cloned by using a specific antibody. The amino acid sequence of 509 residues, deduced from the nucleotide sequence, showed 51.2 and 72.5% identities to the amino acid sequences of alkyl hydroperoxide reductase from Salmonella typhimurium and NADH dehydrogenase from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. strain YN-1, respectively. Bacillus spp. have a respiratory chain and grow well under aerobic conditions. In contrast, Amphibacillus spp., having no respiratory chain, grow equally well under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, which distinguishes these two genera. Salmonella spp., which are gram-negative bacteria, are taxonomically distant from gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus spp. and Amphibacillus spp. The above findings, however, suggest that the flavoprotein functional as NADH oxidase, the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, and the NADH dehydrogenase diverged recently, with only small changes leading to their functional differences.

This study was designed to determine the histochemical properties, size and composition of fibres in the diaphragm, intercostal and abdominal muscles of goats to clarify whether reported similarities in respiratory muscle physiology between goats and humans have a structural basis. Serial sections (10 microns) of muscular tissue from adult female goats were stained for myosin adenosine triphosphatase and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase-tetrazolium reductase activities; the fibres were classified into type I, IIA and IIB; and their mean diameter and composition were determined. Abdominal and intercostal muscles contained types I, IIA and IIB fibres in the ratio 1:1:1, and the mean diameter of the fibres ranged from 49.2 to 62.2 microns. In contrast, the diaphragm contained 58.9% type I and 41.1% type II fibres, and the latter could not be differentiated into types IIA and IIB. Diaphragmatic fibres were also smaller (36.9-40.9 microns). These findings contrast with those in humans, where the diaphragm, intercostal and abdominal muscles contain > 50% type I fibres and have fibres of identical diameter. The differences in fibre characteristics between the diaphragm, intercostal and abdominal muscles of goats and the differences between goats and humans need to be taken into consideration in interpreting the results from studies in respiratory muscle physiology.
