Characterization of two mitochondrial proteins of M(r) 42 and 18 kDa, respectively, phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase of bovine heart mitochondria (mtPKA), is presented. A 42 kDa protein is found to be loosely associated to complexes I, III and IV of the respiratory chain and complex V (ATP synthase) in the inner mitochondrial membrane. An 18 kDa protein is associated to complex I in the inner membrane and in a purified preparation of this complex where it can be phosphorylated by the isolated catalytic subunit of PKA.

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain can be fragmented in a flavoprotein (FP), iron-sulfur protein (IP), and hydrophobic protein (HP) subfraction. The IP subfraction is hypothesized to be significant, since it contains important prosthetic groups highly conserved among species. We cloned the cDNA of three remaining human NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunits of this IP fraction: the NDUFS2 (49 kDa), NDUFS3 (30 kDa), and NDUFS6 (13 kDa) subunits. All presented cDNAs include the complete open reading frame (ORF), which consist of 1392, 795, and 375 base pairs, coding for 463, 264, and 124 amino acids, respectively. The latter show 96, 90, and 83% homology with the corresponding bovine translation products. The 3' untranslated regions (UTR) are complete in all three cDNAs. Polymerase chain reaction performed with DNA isolated from somatic human-rodent cell hybrids containing defined human chromosomes as template gave a human-specific signal which mapped the NDUFS2 and NDUFS3 subunits to chromosomes 1 and 11, respectively. In the case of the NDUFS6 subunit a pseudogene may be present since signals were seen in the lanes containing chromosomes 5 and 6. The NDUFS2 contains a highly conserved protein kinase C phosphorylation site and the NDUFS3 subunit contains a highly conserved casein kinase II phosphorylation site which make them strong candidates for future mutation detection studies in enzymatic complex I-deficient patients.

Evidence has been obtained for the occurrence of a cAMP-dependent serine protein kinase associated with the inner membrane/matrix of mammalian mitochondria. The catalytic site of this kinase is localized at the inner side of the inner membrane, where it phosphorylates a number of mitochondrial proteins. One of these has been identified as the AQDQ subunit of complex I. cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of this protein promotes the activity of complex I and mitochondrial respiration. A 5 bp duplication in the nuclear gene encoding this protein has been found in a human patient, which eliminates the phosphorylation site. PKA anchoring proteins have recently been identified in the outer membrane of mammalian mitochondria, which could direct phosphorylation of proteins at contact sites with other cell structures.

Oxidative stress induced by acute complex I inhibition with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion activated biphasically the stress-activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and the early transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Early JNK activation was dependent on mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) activity, whereas late-phase JNK activation and the cleavage of signaling proteins Raf-1 and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) kinase (MEKK)-1 appeared to be ANT-independent. Early NF-kappaB activation depended on MEK, later activation required an intact electron transport chain (ETC), and Parkinson's disease (PD) cybrid (mitochondrial transgenic cytoplasmic hybrid) cells had increased basal NF-kappaB activation. Mitochondria appear capable of signaling ETC impairment through MAPK modules and inducing protective NF-kappaB responses, which are increased by PD mitochondrial genes amplified in cybrid cells. Irreversible commitment to apoptosis in this cell model may derive from loss of Raf-1 and cleavage/activation of MEKK-1, processes reported in other models to be caspase-mediated. Therapeutic strategies that reduce mitochondrial activation of proapoptotic MAPK modules, i.e., JNK, and enhance survival pathways, i.e., NF-kappaB, may offer neuroprotection in this debilitating disease.

Sequence analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear candidate genes of complex I in children with deficiency of this complex and exhibiting Leigh-like syndrome has revealed, in one of them, a novel mutation in the NDUFS4 gene encoding the 18 kDa subunit. Phosphorylation of this subunit by cAMP-dependent protein kinase has previously been found to activate the complex. The present mutation consists of a homozygous G-->A transition at nucleotide position +44 of the coding sequence of the gene, resulting in the change of a tryptophan codon to a stop codon. Such mutation causes premature termination of the protein after only 14 amino acids of the putative mitochondrial targeting peptide. Fibroblast cultures from the patient exhibited severe reduction of the rotenone-sensitive NADH-->UQ oxidoreductase activity of complex I, which was insensitive to cAMP stimulation. Two-dimensional electrophoresis showed the absence of detectable normally assembled complex I in the inner mitochondrial membrane. These findings show that the expression of the NDUFS4 gene is essential for the assembly of a functional complex I.

A study is presented on cyclic adenosine monophosphate- (cAMP-) dependent phosphorylation of mammalian mitochondrial proteins. Immunodetection with specific antibodies reveals the presence of the catalytic and the regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in the inner membrane and matrix of bovine heart mitochondria. The mitochondrial cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates mitochondrial proteins of 29, 18, and 6.5 kDa. With added histone as substrate, PKA exhibits affinities for ATP and cAMP and pH optimum comparable to those of the cytosolic PKA. Among the mitochondrial proteins phosphorylated by PKA, one is the nuclear-encoded (NDUFS4 gene) 18 kDa subunit of complex I, which has phosphorylation consensus sites in the C terminus and in the presequence. cAMP promotes phosphorylation of the 18 kDa subunit of complex I in myoblasts in culture and in their isolated mitoplast fraction. In both cases cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 18 kDa subunit of complex I is accompanied by enhancement of the activity of the complex. These results, and the finding of mutations in the NDUFS4 gene in patients with complex I deficiency, provide evidence showing that cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 18 kDa subunit of complex I plays a major role in the control of the mitochondrial respiratory activity.

Recent work has revealed cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 18-kDa IP subunit of the mammalian complex I of the respiratory chain, encoded by the nuclear NDUFS4 gene (chromosome 5). Phosphorylation of this protein has been shown to take place in fibroblast cultures in vivo, as well as in isolated mitochondria, which in addition to the cytosol also contain, in the inner-membrane matrix fraction, a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Mitochondria appear to have a Ca2+-inhibited phosphatase, which dephosphorylates the 18-kDa phosphoprotein. In fibroblast and myoblast cultures cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 18-kDa protein is associated with potent stimulation of complex I and overall respiratory activity with NAD-linked substrates. Mutations in the human NDUFS4 gene have been found, which in the homozygous state are associated with deficiency of complex I and fatal neurological syndrome. In one case consisting of a 5 bp duplication, which destroyed the phosphorylation site, cAMP-dependent activation of complex I was abolished in the patient's fibroblast cultures. In another case consisting of a nonsense mutation, leading to termination of the protein after only 14 residues of the putative mitochondria targeting peptide, a defect in the assembly of complex I was found in fibroblast cultures.

Human NADH CoQ oxidoreductase is composed of a total of 43 subunits and has been demonstrated to be a major site for the production of superoxide by mitochondria. Incubation of rat heart mitochondria with ATP resulted in the phosphorylation of two mitochondrial membrane proteins, one with a M(r) of 6 kDa consistent with the NDUFA1 (MWFE), and one at 18kDa consistent with either NDUFS4 (AQDQ) or NDUFB7 (B18). Phosphorylation of both subunits was enhanced by cAMP derivatives and protein kinase A (PKA) and was inhibited by PKA inhibitors (PKAi). When mitochondrial membranes were incubated with pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, phosphorylation of an 18kDa protein but not a 6kDa protein was observed. NADH cytochrome c reductase activity was decreased and superoxide production rates with NADH as substrate were increased. On the other hand, with protein kinase A-driven phosphorylation, NADH cytochrome c reductase was increased and superoxide production decreased. Overall there was a 4-fold variation in electron transport rates observable at the extremes of these phosphorylation events. This suggests that electron flow through complex I and the production of oxygen free radicals can be regulated by phosphorylation events. In light of these observations we discuss a potential model for the dual regulation of complex I and the production of oxygen free radicals by both PKA and PDH kinase.

Results of studies on the role of the 18 kDa (IP) polypeptide subunit of complex I, encoded by the nuclear NDUFS4 gene, in isolated bovine heart mitochondria and human and murine cell cultures are presented.The mammalian 18 kDa subunit has in the carboxy-terminal sequence a conserved consensus site (RVS), which in isolated mitochondria is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). The catalytic and regulatory subunits of PKA have been directly immunodetected in the inner membrane/matrix fraction of mammalian mitochondria. In the mitochondrial inner membrane a PP2Cgamma-type phosphatase has also been immunodetected, which dephosphorylates the 18 kDa subunit, phosphorylated by PKA. This phosphatase is Mg(2+)-dependent and inhibited by Ca(2+). In human and murine fibroblast and myoblast cultures "in vivo", elevation of intracellular cAMP level promotes phosphorylation of the 18 kDa subunit and stimulates the activity of complex I and NAD-linked mitochondrial respiration. Four families have been found with different mutations in the cDNA of the NDUFS4 gene. These mutations, transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance, were associated in homozygous children with fatal neurological syndrome. All these mutations destroyed the phosphorylation consensus site in the C terminus of the 18 kDa subunit, abolished cAMP activation of complex I and impaired its normal assembly.

A cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is localized in mammalian mitochondria with the catalytic site at the matrix side of the membrane where it phosphorylates a number of proteins. One of these is the 18 kDa(IP) subunit of the mammalian complex I of the respiratory chain, encoded by the nuclear NDUFS4 gene. Mitochondria have a Ca(2+)-inhibited phosphatase, which dephosphorylates the 18 kDa phosphoprotein of complex I. In fibroblast and myoblast cultures cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the 18 kDa protein is associated with stimulation of complex I and overall respiratory activity with NAD-linked substrates. Mutations in the human NDUFS4 gene have been found, which in the homozygous state are associated with deficiency of complex I and fatal neurological syndrome.
