Voltage-Dependent Regulation of Complex II Energized Mitochondrial Oxygen Flux.

ABSTRACT: Oxygen consumption by isolated mitochondria is generally measured during state 4 respiration (no ATP production) or state 3 (maximal ATP production at high ADP availability). However, mitochondria in vivo do not function at either extreme. Here we used ADP recycling methodology to assess muscle mitochondrial function over intermediate clamped ADP concentrations. In so doing, we uncovered a previously unrecognized biphasic respiratory pattern wherein O2 flux on the complex II substrate, succinate, initially increased and peaked over low clamped ADP concentrations then decreased markedly at higher clamped concentrations. Mechanistic studies revealed no evidence that the observed changes in O2 flux were due to altered opening or function of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore or to changes in reactive oxygen. Based on metabolite and functional metabolic data, we propose a multifactorial mechanism that consists of coordinate changes that follow from reduced membrane potential (as the ADP concentration in increased). These changes include altered directional electron flow, altered NADH/NAD+ redox cycling, metabolite exit, and OAA inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase. In summary, we report a previously unrecognized pattern for complex II energized O2 flux. Moreover, our findings suggest that the ADP recycling approach might be more widely adapted for mitochondrial studies.

Project description:Human gene variants affecting ion channel biophysical activity and/or membrane localization are linked to potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias. However, the mechanism for many human arrhythmia variants remains undefined despite more than a decade of investigation. Posttranslational modulation of membrane proteins is essential for normal cardiac function. Importantly, aberrant myocyte signaling has been linked to defects in cardiac ion channel posttranslational modifications and disease. We recently identified a novel pathway for posttranslational regulation of the primary cardiac voltage-gated Na(+) channel (Na(v)1.5) by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). However, a role for this pathway in cardiac disease has not been evaluated.We evaluated the role of CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation in human genetic and acquired disease. We report an unexpected link between a short motif in the Na(v)1.5 DI-DII loop, recently shown to be critical for CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation, and Na(v)1.5 function in monogenic arrhythmia and common heart disease. Experiments in heterologous cells and primary ventricular cardiomyocytes demonstrate that the human arrhythmia susceptibility variants (A572D and Q573E) alter CaMKII-dependent regulation of Na(v)1.5, resulting in abnormal channel activity and cell excitability. In silico analysis reveals that these variants functionally mimic the phosphorylated channel, resulting in increased susceptibility to arrhythmia-triggering afterdepolarizations. Finally, we report that this same motif is aberrantly regulated in a large-animal model of acquired heart disease and in failing human myocardium.We identify the mechanism for 2 human arrhythmia variants that affect Na(v)1.5 channel activity through direct effects on channel posttranslational modification. We propose that the CaMKII phosphorylation motif in the Na(v)1.5 DI-DII cytoplasmic loop is a critical nodal point for proarrhythmic changes to Na(v)1.5 in congenital and acquired cardiac disease.
