1. DL-8-Methyldihydrolipoate was shown to be a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and ATP-driven energy-linked reactions. 2. ADP-stimulated respiration utilizing pyruvate + malate and succinate in both ox heart and rat liver mitochondria is inhibited; oxidative phosphorylation using pyruvate + malate, succinate and ascorbate + NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as substrates is also inhibited; uncoupler-stimulated respiration is unaffected regardless of the substrate used. 3. Mitochondrial oligomycin-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase is inhibited in both the membrane-bound form and the purified detergent-dispersed preparation. 4. ATP-driven transhydrogenase and the ATP-driven energy-linked reduction of NAD+ by succinate in ox heart submitochondrial particles are inhibited, whereas the respiratory-chain-driven transhydrogenase is unaffected. 5. DL-8-Methyl-lipoate has no immediate effect on the above reactions, demonstrating the requirement for the reduced form for inhibition. 6. The inhibitory properties of DL-8-methyldihydrolipoate are analogous to those of oligomycin and provide further evidence of a role for lipoic acid in oxidative phosphorylation.

1. The magnitude of the protonmotive force in phosphorylating membrane vesicles from Paracoccus denitrificans was estimated. The membrane potential component was determined from the uptake of S(14)CN(-), and the transmembrane pH gradient component from the uptake of [(14)C]methylamine. In each case a flow-dialysis technique was used to monitor uptake. 2. With NADH as substrate, the membrane potential was about 145mV and the pH gradient was below 0.5 pH unit. The membrane potential was decreased by approx. 15mV during ATP synthesis, and was abolished on addition of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. In the presence of KCl plus valinomycin the membrane potential was replaced by a pH gradient of 1.5 units. 3. Succinate oxidation generated a membrane potential of approx. 125mV and the pH gradient was below 0.5 pH unit. Oxidation of ascorbate (in the presence of antimycin) with either 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine or NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as electron mediator usually generated a membrane potential of approx. 90mV. On occasion, ascorbate oxidation did not generate a membrane potential, suggesting that the presence of a third energy-coupling site in P. denitrificans vesicles is variable. 4. With NADH or succinate as substrate, the phosphorylation potential (DeltaG(p)=DeltaG(0)'+RTln[ATP]/ [ADP][P(i)]) was approx. 53.6kJ/mol (12.8kcal/mol). Comparison of this value with the protonmotive force indicates that more than 3 protons need to be translocated via the adenosine triphosphatase of P. denitrificans for each molecule of ATP synthesized by a chemiosmotic mechanism. In the presence of 10mm-KNO(3) the protonmotive force was not detectable (<60mV) but DeltaG(p) was not altered. This result may indicate either that there is no relationship between the protonmotive force and DeltaG(p), or that for an unidentified reason the equilibration of SCN(-) or methylamine with the membrane potential and the pH gradient is prevented by NO(3) (-) in this system.

A method is described for preparation of membrane vesicles (diameter 80nm) capable of respiration-linked ATP synthesis. Vesicles prepared from succinate-grown bacteria oxidized NADH, succinate and ascorbate plus NNN'N'-tetramethylphenylenediamine; vesicles prepared from methanol-grown bacteria also oxidized methanol and formaldehyde, but they were otherwise identical. The uncoupling agent carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone and the adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide both inhibited ATP synthesis, whereas they had no effect on the rate of respiration. Rotenone inhibited ATP synthesis and respiration with NADH as substrate; antimycin A inhibited with succinate as substrate, and cyanide inhibited with all substrates. P/O ratios were usually 0.7-1.3 with NADH, 0.6-1.0 with succinate and 0.2-0.6 with reduced NNN'N'-tetramethylphenylenediamine or methanol as respiratory substrate. When 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol was used as an alternative electron acceptor to O(2) (NADH as donor) the P/2e ratio was 1.65. Although these P/O ratios are minimum values, because they do not take into account unknown amounts of uncoupled O(2) consumption, they are consistent with previous proposals [O'Keeffe & Anthony (1978) Biochem, J.170, 561-567] based on measurements of proton translocation in whole cells. The results also confirm that methanol dehydrogenase and cytochromes c and a/a(3) are arranged so that the first step in methanol oxidation is coupled to synthesis of ATP.

1. The rates of translocation of oxaloacetate and l-malate into rat liver mitochondria were measured by a direct spectrophotometric assay. 2. Penetration obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and apparent K(m) values were 40mum for oxaloacetate and 0.13mm for l-malate. 3. Arrhenius plots of the temperature-dependence of rates of penetration gave activation energies of +10kcal./mole for oxaloacetate and +8kcal./mole for l-malate. 4. The translocation of both oxaloacetate and l-malate was competitively inhibited by d-malate, succinate, malonate, meso-tartrate, maleate and citraconate. The K(i) values of these inhibitors were similar for the penetration of both oxaloacetate and l-malate. 5. Rates of penetration were stimulated by NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride plus ascorbate under aerobic conditions or by ATP under anaerobic conditions. 6. The energy-dependent stimulation of translocation was abolished by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. Oligomycin A, aurovertin, octyl-guanidine and atractyloside prevented the stimulation by ATP, but did not inhibit the stimulation by NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride plus ascorbate. 7. Mitochondria prepared in the presence of ethylene-dioxybis(ethyleneamino)tetra-acetic acid did not exhibit the energy-dependent translocation, but this could be restored by the addition of 50mum-calcium chloride. 8. Valinomycin or gramicidin plus potassium chloride enhanced the energy-dependent translocation of oxaloacetate and l-malate. 9. Addition of oxaloacetate stimulated the adenosine triphosphatase activity of the mitochondria, and the ratio of ;extra' oxaloacetate translocation to ;extra' adenosine triphosphatase activity was 1.6:1. 10. Possible mechanisms for the energy-dependent entry of oxaloacetate and l-malate into mitochondria are discussed in relation to the above results.
