1. Citreoviridin was a potent inhibitor of the soluble mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) similar to the closely related aurovertins B and D. 2. Citreoviridin inhibited the following mitochondrial energy-linked reactions also: ADP-stimulated respiration in whole mitochondria from ox heart and rat liver; ATP-driven reduction of NAD+ by succinate; ATP-driven NAD transhydrogenase and ATPase from ox heart submitochondrial particles. 3. The dissociation constant (KD) calculated by a simple law-of-mass-action treatment for the citreoviridin--ATPase complex was 0.5--4.2micron for ox-heart mitochondrial preparations and 0.15micron for rat liver mitochondria. 4. Monoacetylation of citreoviridin decreased its inhibitory potency (KD=2--25micron, ox heart; KD=0.7micron, rat liver). Diacetylation greatly decreased the inhibitory potency (KD=60--215micron, ox heart). 5. Hydrogenation of citreoviridin monoacetate diminished its inhibitory potency considerably. 6. No significant enhancement of fluorescence was observed when citreoviridin interacted with the mitochondrial ATPase.

1. In addition to the previously studied 8-azido-ATP, 8-azido-ADP is a suitable photoaffinity label for beef-heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1). 2. Photolysis at 350 nm of 8-azido-ADP in the presence of isolated F1 leads to inactivation of ATPase activity. Both ATP and ADP (but not AMP) protect against the inactivation. 3. In the absence of Mg2+, 8-azido-ADP binds almost equally to the alpha and beta subunits of F1, whereas in the presence of Mg2+ the alpha subunits are predominantly labelled. 4. The ATPase activity is completely inhibited when two molecules of 8-azido-ADP are bound per molecule F1. 5. 8-Azido-ATP and ATP are competitive substrates for F1, indicating that in the presence of Mg2+ 8-azido-ATP binds to the same site as ATP. 6. The amount of tightly bound nucleotides in F1 is not significantly changed upon incubation with 8-azido-ATP either in the light or the dark. 7. 8-Azido-ATP is also a suitadrial particles, photolabelling leading to inactivation of ATPase activity. 9. Oxidative phosphorylation and the ATP-driven reduction of NAD+ by succinate are also inhibited by photolabelling Mg-ATP particles with 8-azido-ATP. 10. In contrast to the uncoupled ATPase activity, where the two ATP-binding sites do not interact, cooperation between the two sites is required for ATP hydrolysis coupled to reduction of NAD+ by succinate.

Purified nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase from beef heart was investigated with respect to labeling and subsequent sequence analysis of a nicotinamide nucleotide-binding site. A photo-activated azide derivative, 8-azidoadenosine 5'-monophosphate, was used as an active-site-directed photoaffinity label, which was shown to be specific for the NAD(H)-binding site in the dark. Light-activated incorporation of the label in transhydrogenase was accompanied by an inactivation, which approached 100% at the incorporation of about 1 mol label/mol transhydrogenase monomer. As expected from the assumed site-specificity of the label. NADH prevented both labeling and inactivation to some extent. However, NADPH also prevented labeling and inactivation marginally. The oxidized substrates NAD+ and NADP+ were inhibitory by themselves under these conditions, and the substrate analogs 5'-AMP and 2'-AMP were also poor protectors. The NAD(H)-site specificity of the azido compound was thus largely lost upon illumination and covalent modification. Radioactive labeling of transhydrogenase with 8-azido-[2-3H]-adenosine 5'-monophosphate followed by protease digestion, isolation of labeled peptides and amino-acid sequence analysis showed that Tyr 1006 in the sequence 1001-1027 close to the C-terminus was labeled. This sequence shows homologies with nucleotide-binding sequences in, e.g., F1-ATPase. On the basis of sequence homologies with other NAD(P)-dependent enzymes it is proposed that transhydrogenase contains 4 nucleotide-binding sites, of which 2 constitute the adenine nucleotide-binding domains of the catalytic sites for NAD(H) and NADP(H) close to the N- and C-terminals, respectively. Each of these domains has an additional vicinal nucleotide-binding sequence which may constitute a non-catalytic nucleotide-binding site or the nicotinamide nucleotide-binding domain of the catalytic site. The present results indicate that 8-azidoadenosine 5'-monophosphate is kinetically specific for the catalytic NAD(H)-binding site, but reacts covalently with Tyr 1006 of the putative non-catalytic site or nicotinamide nucleotide-binding domain formed by the 1001-1027 amino acid sequence of the catalytic NADP(H)-binding site. Interactions between the catalytic NAD(H) and NADP(H) binding sites, and the assumed non-catalytic sites, may be facilitated by a ligand-triggered formation of a narrow pocket, which normally allows an efficient hydride ion transfer between the natural substrates.

We have seen that there is no simple answer to the question 'what controls respiration?' The answer varies with (a) the size of the system examined (mitochondria, cell or organ), (b) the conditions (rate of ATP use, level of hormonal stimulation), and (c) the particular organ examined. Of the various theories of control of respiration outlined in the introduction the ideas of Chance & Williams (1955, 1956) give the basic mechanism of how respiration is regulated. Increased ATP usage can cause increased respiration and ATP synthesis by mass action in all the main tissues. Superimposed on this basic mechanism is calcium control of matrix dehydrogenases (at least in heart and liver), and possibly also of the respiratory chain (at least in liver) and ATP synthase (at least in heart). In many tissues calcium also stimulates ATP usage directly; thus calcium may stimulate energy metabolism at (at least) four possible sites, the importance of each regulation varying with tissue. Regulation of multiple sites may occur (from a teleological point of view) because: (a) energy metabolism is branched and thus proportionate regulation of branches is required in order to maintain constant fluxes to branches (e.g. to proton leak or different ATP uses); and/or (b) control over fluxes is shared by a number of reactions, so that large increases in flux requires stimulation at multiple sites because each site has relatively little control. Control may be distributed throughout energy metabolism, possibly due to the necessity of minimizing cell protein levels (see Brown, 1991). The idea that energy metabolism is regulated by energy charge (as proposed by Atkinson, 1968, 1977) is misleading in mammals. Neither mitochondrial ATP synthesis nor cellular ATP usage is a unique function of energy charge as AMP is not a significant regulator (see for example Erecinska et al., 1977). The near-equilibrium hypothesis of Klingenberg (1961) and Erecinska & Wilson (1982) is partially correct in that oxidative phosphorylation is often close to equilibrium (apart from cytochrome oxidase) and as a consequence respiration and ATP synthesis are mainly regulated by (a) the phosphorylation potential, and (b) the NADH/NAD+ ratio. However, oxidative phosphorylation is not always close to equilibrium, at least in isolated mitochondria, and relative proximity to equilibrium does not prevent the respiratory chain, the proton leak, the ATP synthase and ANC having significant control over the fluxes. Thus in some conditions respiration rate correlates better with [ADP] than with phosphorylation potential, and may be relatively insensitive to mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ ratio.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Isolated rat liver mitochondria were incubated in the presence of a reconstituted malate-aspartate shuttle under carboxylating conditions in the presence of glutamate, octanoyl-carnitine and pyruvate, or a preset lactate/pyruvate ratio. The respiration and attendant energy state were varied with soluble F1-ATPase. Under these conditions reducing equivalents are exported due to pyruvate carboxylation. This was shown by lactate production from pyruvate and by a substantial increase in the lactate/pyruvate ratio. This led to a competition between malate export and energy-driven malate cycling via the malate-aspartate shuttle, resulting in a lowered redox segregation of the NAD systems between the mitochondrial and extramitochondrial spaces. If pyruvate carboxylation was blocked, this egress of reducing equivalents was also blocked, leading to an elevated value of redox segregation, delta G(redox) (in kJ) = -5.7 log(NAD+/NADHout)/(NAD+/NADHin) being then equal to approximately one-half of the membrane potential, in accordance with electrogenic glutamate/aspartate exchange. Reconstitution of malate-pyruvate cycling led to a further kinetic decrease in the original malate-aspartate shuttle-driven value of delta G(redox). Therefore, the value of segregation of reducing potential between mitochondria and cytosol caused by glutamate/aspartate exchange can be diminished kinetically by processes exporting reducing equivalents from mitochondria, such as pyruvate carboxylation and pyruvate cycling.

Repeated extraction of bovine heart submitochondrial particles with ammonia and EDTA (AE) yields a preparation that is highly deficient in coupling factor B (FB). The activity of the thrice extracted particle (AE-P3) in ATP-driven NAD+ reduction by succinate and the 32Pi-ATP exchange activity were substantially stimulated, 8-fold and 5-fold, respectively, by purified FB. To decrease the basal activity of the particle further, the residual FB in AE-P3 was inactivated by treatment with the -SH reagent, 4-vinylpyridine. The resulting particle was depleted of F1 by treatment with 3.5 M NaBr. This particle was incorporated into asolectin liposomes alone and in the presence of added FB. Passive proton conduction in the FB-deficient proteoliposomes was negligible and restored in the presence of FB. The H+ conductance was inhibited extensively by oligomycin and partially by F1-ATPase. The results show absolute dependence on FB for functioning of the FO proton channel.

The photoaffinity label 8-azido-ATP has been used to study the effect of inhibition of ATP synthase on ATP-driven reverse electron transfer from succinate to NAD+ ('reversal'), succinate- and NADH-driven ATP synthesis and ATP-Pi exchange. In reversal, where ATPase functions as primary proton pump, inactivation by covalently bound nitreno-ATP results in an inhibition that is proportional to the inactivation of ATP hydrolysis, or, consequently, with the concentration of inactivated ATP synthases. Up to 60% inactivation of the reversal rate does not lead to a decrease in delta mu H+. Inhibition of ATP synthase as secondary proton pump results in case of NADH-driven ATP synthesis in a proportional inhibition, but with succinate as substrate ATP synthesis is less than proportionally inhibited, compared with inactivation of ATP hydrolysis. Inhibition of one of the primary pumps of NADH-driven ATP synthesis, the NADH:Q oxidoreductase, with rotenone also resulted in an inhibition of the rate of ATP synthesis proportional to that of the NADH oxidation. ATP-Pi exchange is much more affected than ATP hydrolysis by photoinactivation with 8-azido-ATP. Contrary to reversal and NADH-driven ATP synthesis the rate of ATP-Pi exchange does not depend linearly, but quadratically on the concentration of active ATP synthases. The observed proportional relationships between inhibition of the primary or secondary pump and the inhibition of the overall energy-transfer reactions do not support the existence of a pool intermediate in energy-transduction reactions. However, the results are consistent with a direct transfer of energy from redox enzymes to ATP synthase and vice versa.

The mechanism of coupling between mitochondrial ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) and nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (EC 1.6.1.1) was studied in reconstituted liposomes containing both purified enzymes and compared with their behavior in submitochondrial particles. In order to investigate the mode of coupling between the transhydrogenase and the ATPase by the double-inhibitor and inhibitor-uncoupler methods, suitable inhibitors of transhydrogenase and ATPase were selected. Phenylarsine oxide and A3'-O-(3-(N-(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino)propionyl)-NAD+ were used as transhydrogenase inhibitors, whereas of the various ATPase inhibitors tested aurovertin was found to be the most convenient. The inhibition of the ATP-driven transhydrogenase activity was proportional to the inhibition of both the ATPase and the transhydrogenase. Inhibitor-uncoupler titrations showed an increased sensitivity of the coupled reaction towards carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP)--an uncoupler that preferentially uncouples localized interactions, according to Herweijer et al. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 849 (1986) 276-287)--when the primary pump was partially inhibited. However, when the secondary pump was partially inhibited the sensitivity towards FCCP remained unchanged. Similar results were obtained with submitochondrial particles. These results are in contrast to those obtained previously with the ATP-driven reverse electron flow. In addition, the amount of uncoupler required for uncoupling of the ATP-driven transhydrogenase was found to be similar to that required for the stimulation of the ATPase activity, both in reconstituted vesicles and in submitochondrial particles. Uncoupling of reversed electron flow to NAD+ required much less uncoupler. On the basis of these results, it is proposed that, in agreement with the chemiosmotic model, the interaction between ATPase and transhydrogenase in reconstituted vesicles as well as in submitochondrial particles occurs through the delta mu H+. In contrast, the energy transfer between ATPase and NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase appears to occur via a more direct interaction, according to the above-mentioned results by Herweijer et al.

Low concentrations of cadmium (3.3-40 microM) inhibited State 3 NADH-linked respiration in rat hepatic mitochondria, but failed to release oligomycin (1 microgram) inhibited State 3 respiration, or to significantly change the State 4 rate. In the presence of succinate, 40 microM cadmium inhibited State 3 respiration by 89%, while concentrations between 3.3 and 13.3 microM stimulated State 4 respiration. Higher concentrations caused marked inhibition. In the presence of succinate, cadmium released oligomycin inhibited State 3 respiration. Cadmium (0.001-1.0 mM) did not stimulate mitochondrial ATPase activity or inhibit ferricyanide reduction, but stimulated NAD+ linked mitochondrial dehydrogenase activities and NADH oxidation. These results indicate that cadmium interacts with either the NADH dehydrogenase complex or other NADH-dependent enzymes and not solely by an uncoupling action.

Submitochondrial particles prepared from liver and skeletal muscle of control and iron-deficient rats were examined for cytochrome content and for both energy-independent and energy-conserving functions. Liver submitochondrial particles appear quite resistant to iron deficiency with cytochrome content and electron-transferring or energy-conserving functions maintained at a level of 85% or better of normal. Iron-deficient skeletal muscle submitochondrial particles, in contrast, have decreased cytochrome content and only 15-20% of the normal capacity for oxidation through either complex I (NADH dehydrogenase) or complex II (succinate dehydrogenase). Energy-linked reactions which involve substrate oxidation/reduction (succinate----NAD+ reversed electron flow and succinate-driven energy-dependent transhydrogenation) are likewise markedly decreased, while ATP-driven energy-dependent transhydrogenation and mitochondrial ATPase are normal. Our data support the concept that iron deficiency leads to decreased electron-carrying capacity of iron-containing mitochondrial enzymes, with skeletal muscle being much more susceptible than liver, but that the mitochondria are otherwise normal with regard to energy conservation.
