NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase from bovine heart mitochondria. cDNA sequences of the import precursors of the nuclear-encoded 39 kDa and 42 kDa subunits.

ABSTRACT: The 39 kDa and 42 kDa subunits of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase from bovine heart mitochondria are nuclear-coded components of the hydrophobic protein fraction of the enzyme. Their amino acid sequences have been deduced from the sequences of overlapping cDNA clones. These clones were amplified from total bovine heart cDNA by means of the polymerase chain reaction, with the use of complex mixtures of oligonucleotide primers based upon fragments of protein sequence determined at the N-terminals of the proteins and at internal sites. The protein sequences of the 39 kDa and 42 kDa subunits are 345 and 320 amino acid residues long respectively, and their calculated molecular masses are 39,115 Da and 36,693 Da. Both proteins are predominantly hydrophilic, but each contains one or two hydrophobic segments that could possibly be folded into transmembrane alpha-helices. The bovine 39 kDa protein sequence is related to that of a 40 kDa subunit from complex I from Neurospora crassa mitochondria; otherwise, it is not related significantly to any known sequence, including redox proteins and two polypeptides involved in import of proteins into mitochondria, known as the mitochondrial processing peptidase and the processing-enhancing protein. Therefore the functions of the 39 kDa and 42 kDa subunits of complex I are unknown. The mitochondrial gene product, ND4, a hydrophobic component of complex I with an apparent molecular mass of about 39 kDa, has been identified in preparations of the enzyme. This subunit stains faintly with Coomassie Blue dye, and in many gel systems it is not resolved from the nuclearcoded 36 kDa subunit.

Kinetics and regulation of mammalian NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I).

Project description:NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I, European Commission No. 1.6.5.3) is one of the respiratory complexes that generate the proton-motive force required for the synthesis of ATP in mitochondria. The catalytic mechanism of Complex I has not been well understood, due to the complicated structure of this enzyme. Here, we develop a kinetic model for Complex I that accounts for electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone through protein-bound prosthetic groups, which is coupled to the translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The model is derived based on the tri-bi enzyme mechanism combined with a simple model of the conformational changes associated with proton transport. To study the catalytic mechanism, parameter values are estimated by analyzing kinetic data. The model is further validated by independent data sets from additional experiments, effectively explaining the effect of pH on enzyme activity. Results imply that matrix pH significantly affects the enzyme turnover processes. The overall kinetic analysis demonstrates a hybrid ping-pong rapid-equilibrium random bi-bi mechanism, consolidating the characteristics from previously reported kinetic mechanisms and data.

Origin and evolution of the sodium -pumping NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase.

Project description:The sodium -pumping NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Na+-NQR) is the main ion pump and the primary entry site for electrons into the respiratory chain of many different types of pathogenic bacteria. This enzymatic complex creates a transmembrane gradient of sodium that is used by the cell to sustain ionic homeostasis, nutrient transport, ATP synthesis, flagellum rotation and other essential processes. Comparative genomics data demonstrate that the nqr operon, which encodes all Na+-NQR subunits, is found in a large variety of bacterial lineages with different habitats and metabolic strategies. Here we studied the distribution, origin and evolution of this enzymatic complex. The molecular phylogenetic analyses and the organizations of the nqr operon indicate that Na+-NQR evolved within the Chlorobi/Bacteroidetes group, after the duplication and subsequent neofunctionalization of the operon that encodes the homolog RNF complex. Subsequently, the nqr operon dispersed through multiple horizontal transfer events to other bacterial lineages such as Chlamydiae, Planctomyces and α, β, γ and δ -proteobacteria. Considering the biochemical properties of the Na+-NQR complex and its physiological role in different bacteria, we propose a detailed scenario to explain the molecular mechanisms that gave rise to its novel redox- dependent sodium -pumping activity. Our model postulates that the evolution of the Na+-NQR complex involved a functional divergence from its RNF homolog, following the duplication of the rnf operon, the loss of the rnfB gene and the recruitment of the reductase subunit of an aromatic monooxygenase.

Crystallization and preliminary analysis of the NqrA and NqrC subunits of the Na+-translocating NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase from Vibrio cholerae.

Project description:The Na+-translocating NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Na+-NQR) from Vibrio cholerae is a membrane protein complex consisting of six different subunits NqrA-NqrF. The major domains of the NqrA and NqrC subunits were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized. The structure of NqrA1-377 was solved in space groups C222? and P2? by SAD phasing and molecular replacement at 1.9 and 2.1?Å resolution, respectively. NqrC devoid of the transmembrane helix was co-expressed with ApbE to insert the flavin mononucleotide group covalently attached to Thr225. The structure was determined by molecular replacement using apo-NqrC of Parabacteroides distasonis as search model at 1.8?Å resolution.

The subunit composition of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from Pichia pastoris.

Project description:Respiratory complex I (NADH:quinone oxidoreductase) is an entry point to the electron transport chain in the mitochondria of many eukaryotes. It is a large, multisubunit enzyme with a hydrophilic domain in the matrix and a hydrophobic domain in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the protein composition and post-translational modifications of complex I from Pichia pastoris, using a combination of proteomic and bioinformatic approaches. Forty-one subunits were identified in P. pastoris complex I, comprising the 14 core (conserved) subunits and 27 supernumerary subunits; seven of the core subunits are mitochondrial encoded. Three of the supernumerary subunits (named NUSM, NUTM, and NUUM) have not been observed previously in any species of complex I. However, homologues to all three of them are present in either Yarrowia lipolytica or Pichia angusta complex I. P. pastoris complex I has 39 subunits in common with Y. lipolytica complex I, 37 in common with N. crassa complex I, and 35 in common with the bovine enzyme. The mitochondrial encoded subunits (translated by the mold mitochondrial genetic code) retain their N-α-formyl methionine residues. At least eight subunits are N-α-acetylated, but the N-terminal modifications of the nuclear encoded subunits are not well-conserved. A combination of two methods of protein separation (SDS-PAGE and HPLC) and three different mass spectrometry techniques (peptide mass fingerprinting, tandem MS and molecular mass measurements) were required to define the protein complement of P. pastoris complex I. This requirement highlights the need for inclusive and comprehensive strategies for the characterization of challenging membrane-bound protein complexes containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic components.

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase from bovine mitochondria. cDNA sequence of a 19 kDa cysteine-rich subunit.

Project description:The sequence of a 19 kDa subunit of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from bovine heart mitochondria has been determined by a new strategy based on the polymerase chain reaction. The subunits of the enzyme were resolved in a polyacrylamide gel by two-dimensional isoelectric focusing and electrophoresis under denaturing conditions, transferred to a poly(vinylidene difluoride) membrane, and the N-terminal sequence was determined on the stained 19 kDa protein up to residue 27. This information was used to design two mixed oligonucleotide primers and a mixed oligonucleotide probe. With total bovine heart cDNA as template, overlapping cDNAs extending to sequences corresponding to both the 5' and 3' extremities of the mRNA coding for the 19 kDa subunit were synthesized in three polymerase chain reactions. These cDNAs were cloned and sequenced and encode a 171-amino-acid mature protein preceded by a methionine residue. The mature protein contains eight cysteine residues spaced at regular intervals through the protein, but the cysteine-rich motifs that are often associated with tetranuclear or binuclear centres in other proteins are not present. However, all eight cysteine residues are strictly conserved in a related protein from Neurospora crassa, suggesting that they have structural and/or functional significance in complex I.

Localization of ubiquinone-8 in the Na+-pumping NADH:quinone oxidoreductase from Vibrio cholerae.

Project description:Na(+) is the second major coupling ion at membranes after protons, and many pathogenic bacteria use the sodium-motive force to their advantage. A prominent example is Vibrio cholerae, which relies on the Na(+)-pumping NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na(+)-NQR) as the first complex in its respiratory chain. The Na(+)-NQR is a multisubunit, membrane-embedded NADH dehydrogenase that oxidizes NADH and reduces quinone to quinol. Existing models describing redox-driven Na(+) translocation by the Na(+)-NQR are based on the assumption that the pump contains four flavins and one FeS cluster. Here we show that the large, peripheral NqrA subunit of the Na(+)-NQR binds one molecule of ubiquinone-8. Investigations of the dynamic interaction of NqrA with quinones by surface plasmon resonance and saturation transfer difference NMR reveal a high affinity, which is determined by the methoxy groups at the C-2 and C-3 positions of the quinone headgroup. Using photoactivatable quinone derivatives, it is demonstrated that ubiquinone-8 bound to NqrA occupies a functional site. A novel scheme of electron transfer in Na(+)-NQR is proposed that is initiated by NADH oxidation on subunit NqrF and leads to quinol formation on subunit NqrA.

Neuronal expression of a single-subunit yeast NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Ndi1) extends Drosophila lifespan.

Project description:The 'rate of living' theory predicts that longevity should be inversely correlated with the rate of mitochondrial respiration. However, recent studies in a number of model organisms, including mice, have reported that interventions that retard the aging process are, in fact, associated with an increase in mitochondrial activity. To better understand the relationship between energy metabolism and longevity, we supplemented the endogenous respiratory chain machinery of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster with the alternative single-subunit NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Ndi1) of the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we report that expression of Ndi1 in fly mitochondria leads to an increase in NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity, oxygen consumption, and ATP levels. In addition, exogenous Ndi1 expression results in increased CO2 production in living flies. Using an inducible gene-expression system, we expressed Ndi1 in different cells and tissues and examined the impact on longevity. In doing so, we discovered that targeted expression of Ndi1 in fly neurons significantly increases lifespan without compromising fertility or physical activity. These findings are consistent with the idea that enhanced respiratory chain activity in neuronal tissue can prolong fly lifespan.

Cryo-EM structures of Na<sup>+</sup>-pumping NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase from Vibrio cholerae.

Project description:The Na+-pumping NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Na+-NQR) couples electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone with Na+-pumping, generating an electrochemical Na+ gradient that is essential for energy-consuming reactions in bacteria. Since Na+-NQR is exclusively found in prokaryotes, it is a promising target for highly selective antibiotics. However, the molecular mechanism of inhibition is not well-understood for lack of the atomic structural information about an inhibitor-bound state. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of Na+-NQR from Vibrio cholerae with or without a bound inhibitor at 2.5- to 3.1-Å resolution. The structures reveal the arrangement of all six redox cofactors including a herein identified 2Fe-2S cluster located between the NqrD and NqrE subunits. A large part of the hydrophilic NqrF is barely visible in the density map, suggesting a high degree of flexibility. This flexibility may be responsible to reducing the long distance between the 2Fe-2S centers in NqrF and NqrD/E. Two different types of specific inhibitors bind to the N-terminal region of NqrB, which is disordered in the absence of inhibitors. The present study provides a foundation for understanding the function of Na+-NQR and the binding manner of specific inhibitors.

Determining the origins of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide in the mammalian NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase.

Project description:NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is a proton pump in the electron transport chain that can produce a significant amounts of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. While the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) is the putative site for hydrogen peroxide generation, sites responsible for superoxide are less certain. Here, data on complex I kinetics and ROS generation are analyzed using a computational model to determine the sites responsible for superoxide. The analysis includes all the major redox centers: the FMN, iron-sulfur cluster N2, and semiquinone. Analysis reveals that the fully reduced FMN and semiquinone are the primary sources of superoxide, and the iron-sulfur cluster N2 produces none. The FMN radical only produces ROS when the quinone reductase site is blocked. Model simulations reveal that ROS generation is maximized during reverse electron transport with both the FMN and the semiquinone producing similar amounts of superoxide. In addition, the model successfully predicts the increase in ROS generation when the membrane potential is high and matrix pH is alkaline. Of the total ROS produced by complex I, the majority originates from the FMN.
