The effects of Mg2+ and adenine nucleotides on the sensitivity of the heart mitochondrial Na+-Ca2+ carrier to extramitochondrial Ca2+. A study using arsenazo III-loaded mitochondria.

ABSTRACT: The technique of reversible Ca2+-induced permeabilization [Al Nasser & Crompton (1986) Biochem. J. 239, 19-29, 31-40] has been applied to the preparation of heart mitochondria loaded with the Ca2+ indicator arsenazo III (2 nmol of arsenazo III/mg of mitochondrial protein). The loaded mitochondria ('mitosomes') were used to study the control of the Na+-Ca2+ carrier by extramitochondrial Ca2+ mediated by putative regulatory sites. The Vmax. of the Na+-Ca2+ carrier and the degree of regulatory-site-mediated inhibition were similar to normal heart mitochondria. Ca2+ occupation of the sites in mitosomes yields partial inhibition, which is half-maximal with 0.8 microM external free Ca2+. The inhibition consists of a small decrease in Vmax. and a relatively large increase in apparent Km for internal Ca2+. Mg2+ also appears to interact with the sites, but this is largely abolished by ATP and ADP (but not AMP) under conditions in which the free [Mg2+] is maintained constant. The results indicate that the regulatory sites are effective in controlling the Na+-Ca2+ carrier at physiological concentrations of adenine nucleotides, Mg2+, intra- and extra-mitochondrial free Ca2+.

Trinitrophenyl derivatives bind differently from parent adenine nucleotides to Ca2+-ATPase in the absence of Ca2+.

Project description:Trinitrophenyl derivatives of adenine nucleotides are widely used for probing ATP-binding sites. Here we describe crystal structures of Ca(2+)-ATPase, a representative P-type ATPase, in the absence of Ca(2+) with bound ATP, trinitrophenyl-ATP, -ADP, and -AMP at better than 2.4-Å resolution, stabilized with thapsigargin, a potent inhibitor. These crystal structures show that the binding mode of the trinitrophenyl derivatives is distinctly different from the parent adenine nucleotides. The adenine binding pocket in the nucleotide binding domain of Ca(2+)-ATPase is now occupied by the trinitrophenyl group, and the side chains of two arginines sandwich the adenine ring, accounting for the much higher affinities of the trinitrophenyl derivatives. Trinitrophenyl nucleotides exhibit a pronounced fluorescence in the E2P ground state but not in the other E2 states. Crystal structures of the E2P and E2 ? P analogues of Ca(2+)-ATPase with bound trinitrophenyl-AMP show that different arrangements of the three cytoplasmic domains alter the orientation and water accessibility of the trinitrophenyl group, explaining the origin of "superfluorescence." Thus, the crystal structures demonstrate that ATP and its derivatives are highly adaptable to a wide range of site topologies stabilized by a variety of interactions.

Evidence for the existence of regulatory sites for Ca2+ on the Na+/Ca2+ carrier of cardiac mitochondria.

Project description:The Na+-induced efflux of Ca2+ catalysed by the Na+/Ca2+ carrier of cardiac mitochondria is strongly inhibited by extramitochondrial Ca2+. The nature of this inhibition was investigated as follows. (a) The apparent association of external Na+ and the Ca2+ analogue Sr2+ with substrate-binding sites (i.e. those sites involved in cation translocation) is promoted markedly by K+. The inhibition of Na+/Ca2+ exchange by external Ca2+ is affected little by K+. (b) There is a competitive relationship between the binding of external Na+ and external Ca2+ to substrate-binding sites, whereas at low concentrations (less than 4 microM) extramitochondrial Ca2+ is a partial non-competitive inhibitor with respect to external Na+. (c) This inhibiton by external Ca2+ is characterized by a maximal decrease of about 70% in the Vmax of Na+/Ca2+ exchange and by cooperative binding of external Ca2+ to sites that are half saturated by 0.7-0.8 microM free Ca2+. The binding of Ca2+ and Sr2+ to substrate-binding sites shows no co-operativity. These criteria suggest that the Na+/Ca2+ carrier may contain regulatory sites that render the carrier sensitive to changes in extramitochondrial [Ca2+] within the physiological range.

High-chloride concentrations abolish the binding of adenine nucleotides in the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier family.

Project description:The ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) is a very effective membrane protein that mediates the exchange of ADP and ATP across the mitochondrial membrane. In vivo transport measurements on the AAC overexpressed in Escherichia coli demonstrate that this process can be severely inhibited by high-chloride concentrations. Molecular-dynamics simulations reveal a strong modification of the topology of the local electric field related to the number of chloride ions inside the cavity. Halide ions are shown to shield the positive charges lining the internal cavity of the carrier by accurate targeting of key basic residues. These specific amino acids are highly conserved as highlighted by the analysis of multiple AAC sequences. These results strongly suggest that the chloride concentration acts as an electrostatic lock for the mitochondrial AAC family, thereby preventing adenine nucleotides from reaching their dedicated binding sites.

Sequential forward and reverse transport of the Na+ Ca2+ exchanger generates Ca2+ oscillations within mitochondria.

Project description:Mitochondrial Ca2+ homoeostasis regulates aerobic metabolism and cell survival. Ca2+ flux into mitochondria is mediated by the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) channel whereas Ca2+ export is often through an electrogenic Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. Here, we report remarkable functional versatility in mitochondrial Na+-Ca2+ exchange under conditions where mitochondria are depolarised. Following physiological stimulation of cell-surface receptors, mitochondrial Na+-Ca2+ exchange initially operates in reverse mode, transporting cytosolic Ca2+ into the matrix. As matrix Ca2+ rises, the exchanger reverts to its forward mode state, extruding Ca2+. Transitions between reverse and forward modes generate repetitive oscillations in matrix Ca2+. We further show that reverse mode Na+-Ca2+ activity is regulated by the mitochondrial fusion protein mitofusin 2. Our results demonstrate that reversible switching between transport modes of an ion exchanger molecule generates functionally relevant oscillations in the levels of the universal Ca2+ messenger within an organelle.

Molecular determinants of Mg2+ and Ca2+ permeability and pH sensitivity in TRPM6 and TRPM7.

Project description:The channel kinases TRPM6 and TRPM7 have recently been discovered to play important roles in Mg2+ and Ca2+ homeostasis, which is critical to both human health and cell viability. However, the molecular basis underlying these channels' unique Mg2+ and Ca2+ permeability and pH sensitivity remains unknown. Here we have created a series of amino acid substitutions in the putative pore of TRPM7 to evaluate the origin of the permeability of the channel and its regulation by pH. Two mutants of TRPM7, E1047Q and E1052Q, produced dramatic changes in channel properties. The I-V relations of E1052Q and E1047Q were significantly different from WT TRPM7, with the inward currents of 8- and 12-fold larger than TRPM7, respectively. The binding affinity of Ca2+ and Mg2+ was decreased by 50- to 140-fold in E1052Q and E1047Q, respectively. Ca2+ and Mg2+ currents in E1052Q were 70% smaller than those of TRPM7. Strikingly, E1047Q largely abolished Ca2+ and Mg2+ permeation, rendering TRPM7 a monovalent selective channel. In addition, the ability of protons to potentiate inward currents was lost in E1047Q, indicating that E1047 is critical to Ca2+ and Mg2+ permeability of TRPM7, and its pH sensitivity. Mutation of the corresponding residues in the pore of TRPM6, E1024Q and E1029Q, produced nearly identical changes to the channel properties of TRPM6. Our results indicate that these two glutamates are key determinants of both channels' divalent selectivity and pH sensitivity. These findings reveal the molecular mechanisms underpinning physiological/pathological functions of TRPM6 and TRPM7, and will extend our understanding of the pore structures of TRPM channels.

Changes in intramitochondrial adenine nucleotides in blowfly flight-muscle mitochondria.

Project description:1. With freshly isolated blowfly mitochondria 38% of the intramitochondrial adenine nucleotide was present as AMP. 2. On incubation with oxidizable substrates the AMP and ADP concentrations fell and that of ATP rose; with pyruvate together with proline the ATP concentration reached its maximum value at 6min; with glycerol phosphate the phosphorylation of endogenous nucleotide was more rapid. 3. Addition of the uncoupling agent carbonyl cyanide phenylhydrazone caused a rapid fall of ATP and a parallel rise in ADP, then ADP was converted into AMP. 4. This was in contrast with rat liver mitochondria endogenous AMP concentrations, which were always lower than those of blowfly mitochondria and changed little under different metabolic conditions. 5. Evidence is presented that adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) has a dual distribution in blowfly mitochondria, a part being located in the matrix space and a part in the space between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, as in liver and other mitochondria. 6. The possible regulatory role of changing AMP concentrations in the mitochondrial matrix was investigated. Partially purified pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) and citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7) were inhibited 30% by 2mm-AMP, whereas pyruvate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.4.1) was unaffected. 7. AMP activated the NAD(+)-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.41) activity of blowfly mitochondria in the absence of ADP, but in the presence of ADP, AMP caused inhibition. 8. It is suggested that AMP may exert a controlling effect on the oxidative activity of blowfly mitochondria.

Rapid purification of pig heart NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase. Studies on the regulation of activity by Ca2+, adenine nucleotides, Mg2+ and other metal ions.

Project description:1. A new procedure for purifying pig heart NAD+-isocitrate dehydrogenase from mitochondrial extracts has been developed. This relies on the use of f.p.l.c. techniques and exploits the hydrophobic properties of the gel-filtration medium Superose 6 at high ionic strength. A 300-fold purification to apparent homogeneity is achieved within 5 h and with a yield of greater than 20%. 2. The enzyme had an apparent native molecular mass on gel filtration of 320 kDa. In agreement with previous studies [Ramachandran & Colman (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 8859-8864], three subunits (all close to 38 kDa) were separable by isoelectric focusing 3. This preparation was used to investigate the effects of adenine nucleotides, KCl and the required bivalent metal ions, Mg2+ and Mn2+, on the regulation of the enzyme by Ca2+. 4. In the presence of 1.5 mM-ADP, increasing the concentration of Mg2+ from 20 microM to 6.0 mM raised the concentration of Ca2+ required for half-maximal effect (K0.5 value) from 1.2 microM to 232 microM. Similarly, in the presence of 2.5 microM-Mn2+, a K0.5 value for Ca2+ of 3.3 microM was obtained, and this value was increased to 8.9 microM in the presence of 100 microM-Mn2+. In the presence of 1 mM-Mg2+ and 1.5 mM-ADP, the K0.5 value for Ca2+ was raised from 4.7 microM to 10 microM by 75 mM-KCl.

The isolation of lymphocyte mitochondria and their regulation of extramitochondrial free Ca2+ concentration.

Project description:1. A method for the isolation of functionally intact mitochondria from lymphocytes is described. It involves digitonin breakage of the plasma membrane, followed by differential centrifugation. The yield was 36 mg of mitochondrial protein/200 g of pig mesenteric lymph node (6 mg of mitochondrial protein/10(9) lymphocytes). The mitochondrial had a respiratory-control ratio of 2--3.5 with succinate as substrate. 2. Ca2+ transport by these mitochondria was investigated. They were able to regulate the extramitochondrial free [Ca2+] very precisely, by buffering any displacements from the steady-state. The exact extramitochondrial free [Ca2+] of this steady-state depended on the conditions of incubation. In a medium designed to resemble the cytoplasmic environment, with added Ca2+, lymphocyte mitochondria maintained a steady-state free [Ca2+] of 0.63 microM (pCa of 6.2). The rates of Ca2+ uptake and efflux under these conditions, with both lymphocyte and liver mitochondria, were very much lower than those in a less complex medium. 3. Lymphocyte mitochondria were shown to possess an Na+-independent Ruthenium Red-insensitive efflux pathway similar to that of liver mitochondria. Ruthenium Red totally inhibited the electrophoretic uniporter. Although Na+ had no effect on the steady-state maintained by lymphocyte mitochondria, they were shown to possess an Na+/H+ antiporter.

SLC41A1 is a novel mammalian Mg2+ carrier.

Project description:The molecular biology of mammalian magnesium transporters and their interrelations in cellular magnesium homeostasis are largely unknown. Recently, the mouse SLC41A1 protein was suggested to be a candidate magnesium transporter with channel-like properties when overexpressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Here, we demonstrate that human SLC41A1 overexpressed in HEK293 cells forms protein complexes and locates to the plasma membrane without, however, giving rise to any detectable magnesium currents during whole cell patch clamp experiments. Nevertheless, in a strain of Salmonella enterica exhibiting disruption of all three distinct magnesium transport systems (CorA, MgtA, and MgtB), overexpression of human SLC41A1 functionally substitutes these transporters and restores the growth of the mutant bacteria at magnesium concentrations otherwise non-permissive for growth. Thus, we have identified human SLC41A1 as being a bona fide magnesium transporter. Most importantly, overexpressed SLC41A1 provide HEK293 cells with an increased magnesium efflux capacity. With outwardly directed Mg(2+) gradients, a SLC41A1-dependent reduction of the free intracellular magnesium concentration accompanied by a significant net decrease of the total cellular magnesium concentration could be observed in such cells. SLC41A1 activity is temperature-sensitive but not sensitive to the only known magnesium channel blocker, cobalt(III) hexaammine. Taken together, these data functionally identify SLC41A1 as a mammalian carrier mediating magnesium efflux.

Transglutaminase 5 is regulated by guanine-adenine nucleotides.

Project description:Transglutaminases (TGases) are Ca2+-dependent enzymes capable of catalysing transamidation of glutamine residues to form intermolecular isopeptide bonds. Nine distinct TGases have been described in mammals, and two of them (types 2 and 3) are regulated by GTP/ATP. TGase2 hydrolyses GTP and is therefore a bifunctional enzyme. In the present study, we report that TGase5 is also regulated by nucleotides. We have identified the putative TGase5 GTP-binding pocket by comparative amino acid sequence alignment and homology-derived three-dimensional modelling. GTP and ATP inhibit TGase5 cross-linking activity in vitro, and Ca2+ is capable of completely reversing this inhibition. In addition, TGase5 mRNA is not restricted to epidermal tissue, but is also present in different adult and foetal tissues, suggesting a role for TGase5 outside the epidermis. These results reveal the reciprocal actions of Ca2+ and nucleotides with respect to TGase5 activity. Taken together, these results indicate that TGases are a complex family of enzymes regulated by calcium, with at least three of them, namely TGase2, TGase3 and TGase5, also being regulated by ATP and GTP.
