Anoxia has been compared with ischaemia. The abrupt restoration of either oxygen of flow may accelerate cardiac damage. Anoxic stimulation of glycolysis (Pasteur effect) is inhibited during ischaemia by lactate and proton accumulation at the levels of phosphofructokinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Anaerobic glycolysis provides lactate and ATP; breakdown of the latter provides protons. During partial respiration thought to occur in partial ischaemia, continued production of CO2 is a factor contributing to intracellular acidosis; mitochondrial ATP when formed by continued respiration also yields protons when ultimately broken down. The endoproducts of aerobic glycolysis (pyruvate and NADH) are transported into the mitochondria by the malate-aspartate cycle and by pyruvate dehydrogenase activity. Adenine nucleotide transferase activity normally transfers the mitochondrially-made ATP to the cytoplasm, but acyl CoA accumulates in ischaemia (or during perfusions with high circulating free fatty acids) to inhibit the transferase. The mitochondrial creatine kinase is thought to transform ATP transported outwards into creatine phosphate which can permeate the outer mitochondrial membrane. Further compartmentation of ATP may be by other creatine kinase isoenzymes or in relation to the cell membrane. The glycogenolytic-sarcoplasmic reticulum complex links a glycogen pool to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Cyclic AMP may regulate admission of calcium to the cell during the plateau of the action potential and promote calcium uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum by phosphorylation of phospholamban. The latter promotes the activity of the calcium-transport ATPase. Calcium and cyclic AMP may also interact at the level of the contractile proteins where cyclic AMP phosphrylates troponin. Cyclic GMP generally has opposite effects to cyclic AMP and undergoes opposite changes in the frog cardiac cycle to those of cyclic AMP. A present it is reasonable to suppose that physiological effects of adrenaline or of cholinergic agents on the myocardium are mediated by cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP, respectively, but this hypothesis still lacks firm support. There is an association between tissue cyclic AMP and ventricular fibrillation after coronary ligation, and direct evidence for a role of cyclic AMP in promoting arrhythmias has been obtained by studies on the ventricular fibrillation threshold in the rat heart. However, there are other mechanisms, involving first the effects of substrates on the action potential duration, and secondly, the fast channel, which can also give rise to the development of malignant arrhythmias.

Membrane lipids of yeast mitochondria have been enriched by growing yeast cells in minimal medium supplemented with specific unsaturated fatty acids as the sole lipid supplement. Using the activity of marker enzymes for the outer (kynurenine hydroxylase) and inner (cytochrome c oxidase and oligomycin-sensitive ATPase) mitochondrial membranes, Arrhenius plots have been constructed using both promitochondria and mitochondria obtained from O2-adapting cells in the presence of a second unsaturated fatty acid (i.e. linoleate (N2) to elaidic (O2)). Transition temperatures which reflect the unsaturated fatty acid enrichment of the new membranes reveal interesting features involved in the mechanism of the assembly of these two mitochondrial membranes. This approach was further enforced with both lipid depletion and mitochondrial protein inhibition studies. Kynurenine hydroxylase which does not require fatty acid for its continued synthesis during aerobiosis seems to be incorporated into the preformed linoleate-anaerobic outer membrane. The newly synthesized activities of inner mitochondrial membrane enzymes on the other hand, appear to integrate their activity into newly formed aerobic-elaidic-rich inner membrane. These latter enzymes show a distinct dependence on fatty acid supplement for their continued synthesis during their aerobic phase. This suggests that O2-dependent proteo-lipid precursors are formed before these enzymes are integrated into their membrane mosaic. Two separate models are proposed to explain these results, one for the lipid-rich outer mitochondrial membrane and another for the protein-rich inner mitochondrial membrane.

Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were isolated from guinea pig myocardium by differential pelleting. The mitochondrial fraction was subjected to analytical subfractionation by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and the gradient fractions assayed for marker enzymes for the various mitochondrial compartments, viz outer membrane (monoamine oxidase), intermembranous space (adenylate kinase), inner membrane (Mg2+-dependent ATPase and cytochrome c oxidase) and mitochondrial matrix (malate dehydrogenase), and for creatine kinase. Both creatine kinase and adenylate kinase were released by suspending the mitochondria in 50 mmol . litre-1 sodium phosphate buffer. Sonication or disruption with the detergent, digitonin released the adenylate kinase but the creatine kinase remained associated with the inner membranes. Subsequent salt treatment desorbed the creatine kinase from these membranes. It is concluded that creatine kinase is located to the outer aspect of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Analytical subfractionation of the microsomal fraction clearly resolved markers for the sarcolemma (5'-nucleotidase), outer mitochondrial membrane (monoamine oxidase) and endoplasmic reticulum (neutral alpha-glucosidase and RNA). Creatine kinase was localised in the endoplasmic reticulum particularly the smooth membranes.

In the present study, we demonstrate the localization of Ca(++)-ATPase in the anterior pituitary of the male rat. Ca(++)-ATPase was mainly distributed on the membrane system of the granular cells, which included the plasma membrane, the outer mitochondrial membrane, the enveloping membrane of secretory granules, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and some components of the Golgi complex. No reaction product was detected on the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum or that surrounding the lysosomes. A positive reaction was clearly observed on the membranes surrounding 'large' secretory granules, while that present on the membranes of the 'small' granules was comparatively weak. The cells which contained the 'large' granules were interpreted as growth hormone-secreting cells and those in which the 'small' granules were located as gonadotrophs. There were either no reaction or one that was barely detectable on the plasma membrane of the folliculo-stellate cells. These data along with our previous findings (Soji, 1982, 1984) suggest that the membranous enzymes are not uniformly distributed over all pituitary cells but rather are specific for a given cell population(s).

It has been proposed that cellular ageing may be caused by loss of mitochondrial function due to the action of free radicals. To investigate this hypothesis, antigenic structures of the mitochondrial inner membrane/matrix and of the outer mitochondrial membrane of human diploid fibroblasts were monitored by immunoblotting at four stages during cellular lifespan in vitro. At the same time, specific activities of the enzymes oligomycin-sensitive ATPase (O-S ATPase), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) were assayed to assess the functional capacity of cellular oxidative phosphorylation and of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. No changes were found with ageing in inner mitochondrial membrane-associated matrix components, or in the activities of O-S ATPase and MDH. However GDH activity increased significantly with ageing in vitro, possibly indicating greater amino acid utilization for energy production in older cells. There was loss of an outer mitochondrial membrane antigen, of approximate molecular weight 60 kilodaltons (kDa), in the oldest cells tested, which may influence outer membrane transport capacity late in the cellular lifespan. Overall, the results fail to provide support for the hypothesis that ageing primarily results from free radical-induced impairment of mitochondrial function.

1. We performed an enzymatic characterization of two different fractionation procedures of ventricles from rat hearts. The enzymatic assays covered succinic dehydrogenase as a marker for inner mitochondrial membranes, monoamine oxidase as a marker for outer mitochondrial membranes, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and RNA as endoplasmatic reticular markers, acid phosphatase as a lysosomal marker, and lactic dehydrogenase as a marker for the "soluble" compartment; DNA was estimated for nuclear contamination. 2. The plasma membrane markers 5'-nucleotidase, Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, Na+-K+-ATPase, and adenylate cyclase were determined. 3. The roughly prepared membrane fractions showed increased yields of the membrane markers; the number of beta receptors, determined with (-)-[3H] dihydroalprenolol and DL-propranolol, amounted to 68 +/- 6 fmol/mg protein (KD = 3390 +/- 450 pmol, Hill coefficient = 1.5). 4. The membrane fraction prepared with a linear sucrose gradient showed an increased inner mitochondrial membrane marker; presumably the outer mitochondrial membrane was stripped off. The beta-receptor number was 39 +/- 3 fmol/mg protein (KD = 6250 +/- 300 pmol; Hill coefficient = 1.2).

Translocational intermediates of precursor proteins of ATPase F1 beta subunit and cytochrome c1 across mitochondrial membranes were analyzed using two different approaches, transport at low temperature and transport after binding of precursor proteins to antibodies. Under both conditions precursors were partially transported into mitochondria in an energy-dependent manner. They were processed by the metalloprotease in the matrix but a major proportion of the polypeptide chains was still present at the outer face of the outer mitochondrial membrane. We conclude that transfer of precursors into the inner membrane or matrix space occurs through "translocation contact sites"; precursor polypeptides to F1 beta and cytochrome c1 enter the matrix space with the amino terminus first; and a membrane potential is required for the transmembrane movement on an amino-terminal "domain-like" structure but not for completing translocation of the major part of the polypeptides.

These studies addressed the question of the in vivo distribution of rat brain hexokinase (HK), and whether physiologically relevant changes in the glycolytic rate are accompanied by changes in the distribution of HK. Homogenates of fresh tissue showed only 11-15% of the overt (assayable without added detergent) HK to be soluble (found in high-speed centrifugation supernatant fractions) when homogenization was begun within 15-20 s of sacrifice. Freeze-blown rat brain tissue also was used, coupled with a new technique wherein it was homogenized as it thawed in a buffered sucrose solution containing 1 mM EDTA. In tissue sampled 15 min (anesthetized) or 60 min (waking) after ip Nembutal injection (40 mg/kg), 23% of the overt HK and 79% of the total lactate dehydrogenase were soluble. The average phosphocreatine content of these and similar homogenates had decreased only 23% from in vivo levels, while ATP had decreased by 65%, due to the combined effects of a high level of endogenous ATPase, chelation of Mg2+ by EDTA, and the greater stability of Mg-ATP2- relative to Mg-ADP1-. These data indicated that the tissue experienced, at most, the equivalent of 6 s of complete ischemia prior to the completion of homogenization. Synaptosomes derived from rat and chicken cerebra were incubated at 37 degrees C in a physiological salt solution containing 10 mM glucose. Addition of veratridine has been shown to stimulate glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation two- to threefold (H. T. Kyriazi and R. E. Basford (1986) J. Neurochem., in press), but did not alter the HK distribution, as 21% was found in the supernatant fractions of both control and veratridine-stimulated synaptosomes treated with digitonin. These results indicate that in brain tissue, large net movements of HK on and off the outer mitochondrial membrane do not occur, and thus play no role in the regulation of glycolysis.

The reactions of cytochrome b561 with other redox-active components of the adrenal chromaffin granule were examined using optical difference spectroscopy. It was shown that there is no direct electron transfer between the cytochrome and dopamine beta-hydroxylase, but that in the presence of ascorbate, turnover of dopamine beta-hydroxylase causes an oxidation of the cytochrome, which is partially reversed by the action of the mitochondrial NADH:A-. oxidoreductase. Thus, these three proteins may be functionally coupled via ascorbate. A quantitative study of the relationship between the redox state of the cytochrome and the ascorbate radical concentration measured by EPR showed that ascorbate reduces the cytochrome in a one-electron transfer reaction. Generation of a proton electrochemical gradient across the granule membrane causes only a small (20 mV) increase in the cytochrome midpoint potential suggesting the cytochrome is not a proton pump. The data are consistent with a model in which cytochrome b561, by reacting with ascorbate or ascorbate free radical on either side of the granule membrane, could couple the ascorbate-consuming reaction of the dopamine beta-hydroxylase inside the chromaffin granule to the ascorbate-regenerating reaction of the NADH:A-. oxidoreductase on the outer mitochondrial membrane. The H+-ATPase of the granule membrane could both drive the flow of electrons in the direction from cytosol to granule and replenish protons consumed by the turnover of dopamine beta-hydroxylase inside the granule.

Osmotically lysed rat liver mitochondria have been utilized for a study of the biochemical and ultrastructural properties in relation to divalent ion accumulation. Osmotic lysis of mitochondria by suspension and washing in cold, distilled water results in the extraction of about 50% of the mitochondrial protein, the loss of the outer mitochondrial membrane, an increase in respiration, and a marked decrease in the ability to catalyze oxidative phosphorylation. Nevertheless, except for a decrease in the ability to accumulate Sr(2+) by an ATP-supported process, these lysed mitochondria retain full capacity to accumulate massive amounts of divalent cations by respiration-dependent and ATP-supported mechanisms. The decreased ability of osmotically lysed mitochondria to accumulate Sr(2+) by an ATP-energized process does not appear to be due to a loss or inactivation of a specific Sr(2+)-activated ATPase. The energy-dependent accumulation processes in lysed mitochondria show an increased sensitivity to inhibition by monovalent cations. Extraction of cytochrome c from osmotically lysed mitochondria results in a complete loss of phosphorylation and the respiration-dependent accumulation of Ca(2+); a lesser, but significant, decrease in the ATP-supported accumulation of Ca(2+) also was observed. The addition of cytochrome c fully restores the respiration-dependent accumulation of Ca(2+) to the level present in unextracted, osmotically lysed mitochondria. The ATP-supported process is not affected by the addition of cytochrome c to extracted mitochondria, indicating that cytochrome c is not involved in ion transport energized by ATP. The osmotically lysed mitochondria are devoid of outer membranes and contain relatively little matrix substance. The accumulation of Ca(2+) and P(i) by lysed mitochondria under massive loading conditions is accompanied by the formation of electron-opaque deposits within the lysed mitochondria associated with the inner membranes. This finding suggests that the inner membrane plays a role in the deposition of divalent ions within intact rat liver mitochondria. The relevance of these observations to those of other investigators is discussed.
