Evidence for the sequential assembly of cytochrome oxidase subunits in rat liver mitochondria.

ABSTRACT: The assembly of cytochrome oxidase was studied in isolated rat liver mitochondria and isolated rat hepatocytes labelled in vitro with L-[35S]methionine. This was achieved by studying the temporal association of radioactive subunits which are immunoabsorbed with antibodies against subunits I, II and the holoenzyme. Antibodies against the holoenzyme were shown to be highly specific for subunit V. The results show that subunit I appears in the holoenzyme late in the assembly process. No radioactive subunit I is absorbed with antiserum against subunit II or the holoenzyme (subunit V) after a 30 min pulse in either isolated mitochondria or hepatocytes. However, both antisera absorb radioactive subunits I after a 150 min chase in isolated hepatocytes. This was confirmed using antibodies against subunit I, which absorbed only radioactive subunit I after a 30 min pulse but absorbed radioactive subunits I-III and VI after a 150 min chase. Thus, the late assembly of radioactive subunit I is explained by a temporal sequence in the assembly process and not by the presence of a large, non-radioactive pool of subunit I. Using the above approach and the three specific antisera, the following temporal sequence in the assembly of cytochrome oxidase was established. Subunits II and III assemble rapidly with each other or with cytoplasmically translated subunit VI. This complex of three peptides in turn assembles slowly with subunit I or with the other cytoplasmically translated subunits. The early association of subunit VI with the mitochondrially translated subunits II and III suggests a possible role of the former in integration of the holoenzyme.

Photolabeling of cardiolipin binding subunits within bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase.

Project description:Subunits located near the cardiolipin binding sites of bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) were identified by photolabeling with arylazido-cardiolipin analogues and detecting labeled subunits by reversed-phase HPLC and HPLC-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Two arylazido-containing cardiolipin analogues were synthesized: (1) 2-SAND-gly-CL with a nitrophenylazido group attached to the polar headgroup of cardiolipin (CL) via a linker containing a cleavable disulfide; (2) 2',2''-bis-(AzC12)-CL with two of the four fatty acid tails of cardiolipin replaced by 12-(N-4-azido-2-nitrophenyl) aminododecanoic acid. Both arylazido-CL derivatives were used to map the cardiolipin binding sites within two types of detergent-solubilized CcO: (1) intact 13-subunit CL-containing CcO (three to four molecules of endogenous CL remain bound per CcO monomer); (2) 11-subunit CL-free CcO (subunits VIa and VIb are missing because they dissociate during CL removal). Upon the basis of these photolabeling studies, we conclude that (1) subunits VIIa, VIIc, and possibly VIII are located near the two high-affinity cardiolipin binding sites, which are present in either form of CcO, and (2) subunit VIa is located adjacent to the lower affinity cardiolipin binding site, which is only present in the 13-subunit form of CcO. These data are consistent with the recent CcO crystal structure in which one cardiolipin is located near subunit VIIa and a second is located near subunit VIa (PDB ID code referenced in Tomitake, T. et al. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 100, 15304-15309). However, we propose that a third cardiolipin is bound between subunits VIIa and VIIc near the entrance to the D-channel. Cardiolipin bound at this location could potentially function as a proton antenna to facilitate proton entry into the D-channel. If true, it would explain the CcO requirement of bound cardiolipin for full electron transport activity.

The Cox3p assembly module of yeast cytochrome oxidase.

Project description:Yeast cytochrome oxidase (COX) was previously inferred to assemble from three modules, each containing one of the three mitochondrially encoded subunits and a different subset of the eight nuclear gene products that make up this respiratory complex. Pull-down assays of pulse-labeled mitochondria enabled us to characterize Cox3p subassemblies that behave as COX precursors and contain Cox4p, Cox7p, and Cox13p. Surprisingly, Cox4p is a constituent of two other complexes, one of which was previously proposed to be an intermediate of Cox1p biogenesis. This suggests that Cox4p, which contacts Cox1p and Cox3p in the holoenzyme, can be incorporated into COX by two alternative pathways. In addition to subunits of COX, some Cox3p intermediates contain Rcf1p, a protein associated with the supercomplex that stabilizes the interaction of COX with the bc1 (ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase) complex. Finally, our results indicate that although assembly of the Cox1p module is not contingent on the presence of Cox3p, the converse is not true, as none of the Cox3p subassemblies were detected in a mutant blocked in translation of Cox1p. These studies support our proposal that Cox3p and Cox1p are separate assembly modules with unique compositions of ancillary factors and subunits derived from the nuclear genome.

Role of cytochrome c oxidase nuclear-encoded subunits in health and disease.

Project description:Cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal enzyme of mitochondrial electron transport chain, couples electron transport to oxygen with generation of proton gradient indispensable for the production of vast majority of ATP molecules in mammalian cells. The review summarizes current knowledge of COX structure and function of nuclear-encoded COX subunits, which may modulate enzyme activity according to various conditions. Moreover, some nuclear-encoded subunits posess tissue-specific and development-specific isoforms, possibly enabling fine-tuning of COX function in individual tissues. The importance of nuclear-encoded subunits is emphasized by recently discovered pathogenic mutations in patients with severe mitopathies. In addition, proteins substoichiometrically associated with COX were found to contribute to COX activity regulation and stabilization of the respiratory supercomplexes. Based on the summarized data, a model of three levels of quaternary COX structure is postulated. Individual structural levels correspond to subunits of the i) catalytic center, ii) nuclear-encoded stoichiometric subunits and iii) associated proteins, which may constitute several forms of COX with varying composition and differentially regulated function.

Inventory control: cytochrome c oxidase assembly regulates mitochondrial translation.

Project description:Mitochondria maintain genome and translation machinery to synthesize a small subset of subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system. To build up functional enzymes, these organellar gene products must assemble with imported subunits that are encoded in the nucleus. New findings on the early steps of cytochrome c oxidase assembly reveal how the mitochondrial translation of its core component, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (Cox1), is directly coupled to the assembly of this respiratory complex.

Mitochondrial Protein SLIRP Affects Biosynthesis of Cytochrome c Oxidase Subunits in HEK293T Cells.

Project description:Mitochondria carry out various vital roles in eukaryotic cells, including ATP energy synthesis, the regulation of apoptosis, Fe-S cluster formation, and the metabolism of fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleotides. Throughout evolution, mitochondria lost most of their ancestor's genome but kept the replication, transcription, and translation machinery. Protein biosynthesis in mitochondria is specialized in the production of highly hydrophobic proteins encoded by mitochondria. These proteins are components of oxidative phosphorylation chain complexes. The coordination of protein synthesis must be precise to ensure the correct assembly of nuclear-encoded subunits for these complexes. However, the regulatory mechanisms of mitochondrial translation in human cells are not yet fully understood. In this study, we examined the contribution of the SLIRP protein in regulating protein biosynthesis in mitochondria. Using a click-chemistry approach, we discovered that deletion of the SLIRP gene disturbs mitochondrial translation, leading to the dysfunction of complexes I and IV, but it has no significant effect on complexes III and V. We have shown that this protein interacts only with the small subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome, which may indicate its involvement in the regulation of the mitochondrial translation initiation stage.

Studies on the assembly of cytochrome oxidase in isolated rat hepatocytes.

Project description:1. The assembly of rat liver cytochrome oxidase was studied in isolated hepatocytes and isolated liver mitochondria labelled with L-[35S]methionine. 2. Labelled subunits II and III appeared in the immunoabsorbed holoenzyme within minutes after the initiation of a pulse label. In contrast, labelled subunit I appeared in immunoabsorbed holoenzyme only after a subsequent 2 h chase or after an additional 2 h of labelling. Subunit I was heavily labelled, however, in intact mitochondria after 10 min. 3. A similar pattern of labelling was observed in holo-cytochrome oxidase which was chemically isolated by a small scale procedure adapted for this purpose. The appearance of subunit I in the holoenzyme was delayed for 1.5-2 h after a 60 min pulse with labelled methionine. 4. Incubation of hepatocytes for 4 h in the presence of cycloheximide had no effect on the labelling pattern described above. 5. Methods were developed in which newly translated, presumably unassembled, subunits of cytochrome oxidase could be separated from the holoenzyme by fractionation in Triton X-114. Short-term pulse experiments indicate that subunits II and III are associated with the holoenzyme fraction immediately after their completion, whereas subunit I is not. 6. The data are consistent with a model in which cytochrome oxidase assembly is viewed as an ordered and sequential event.

Mam33 promotes cytochrome c oxidase subunit I translation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria.

Project description:Three mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins, Cox1, Cox2, and Cox3, comprise the core of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. Gene-specific translational activators ensure that these respiratory chain subunits are synthesized at the correct location and in stoichiometric ratios to prevent unassembled protein products from generating free oxygen radicals. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the nuclear-encoded proteins Mss51 and Pet309 specifically activate mitochondrial translation of the largest subunit, Cox1. Here we report that Mam33 is a third COX1 translational activator in yeast mitochondria. Mam33 is required for cells to adapt efficiently from fermentation to respiration. In the absence of Mam33, Cox1 translation is impaired, and cells poorly adapt to respiratory conditions because they lack basal fermentative levels of Cox1.

Transcriptional response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to inhibition of Cytochrome bd oxidase and Cytochrome bcc:aa3 oxidase

Project description:Comparative analysis of the transcriptional response, as quantified by RNA-Seq, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) during inhibition of the terminal cytochrome oxidases, Cytochrome bd oxidase and Cytochrome bcc:aa3. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy if a novel small molecule inhibitor of the Cytochrome bd oxidase. Specifically, we compared the transcriptional response of Mtb during inhibition by Q203 with a Cytochrome bd deletion mutant to the transcriptional response of Mtb treated with a combination of Q203 and the purported Cytorchomre bd small molecule inhibitor (ND-011992).

Evidence for a key role of cytochrome bo3 oxidase in respiratory energy metabolism of Gluconobacter oxydans

Project description:The obligatory aerobic acetic acid bacterium Gluconobacter oxydans oxidizes a variety of substrates in the periplasm by membrane-bound dehydrogenases, which transfer the reducing equivalents to ubiquinone. Two quinol oxidases, cytochrome bo3 and cytochrome bd, then catalyze transfer of the electrons from ubiquinol to molecular oxygen. In this study, mutants lacking either of these terminal oxidases were characterized. Deletion of the cydAB genes for cytochrome bd had no obvious influence on growth, whereas the lack of the cyoBACD genes for cytochrome bo3 severely reduced the growth rate and the cell yield. Using a respiration activity monitoring system and adjusting different levels of oxygen availability, hints for a low oxygen affinity of cytochrome bd oxidase were obtained, which were supported by measurements of oxygen consumption in a respirometer. The H+/O ratio of the ΔcyoBACD mutant with mannitol as substrate was 0.56 ± 0.11 and more than 50% lower than that of the reference strain (1.26 ± 0.06) and the delta-cydAB mutant (1.31 ± 0.16), indicating that cytochrome bo3 oxidase is the main component for proton extrusion via the respiratory chain. Plasmid-based overexpression of cyoBACD led to increased growth rates and growth yields, both in the wild type and the delta-cyoBACD mutant, suggesting that cytochrome bo3 might be the rate-limiting factor of the respiratory chain.

Shy1 couples Cox1 translational regulation to cytochrome c oxidase assembly.

Project description:Cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV) of the respiratory chain is assembled from nuclear and mitochondrially-encoded subunits. Defects in the assembly process lead to severe human disorders such as Leigh syndrome. Shy1 is an assembly factor for complex IV in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mutations of its human homolog, SURF1, are the most frequent cause for Leigh syndrome. We report that Shy1 promotes complex IV biogenesis through association with different protein modules; Shy1 interacts with Mss51 and Cox14, translational regulators of Cox1. Additionally, Shy1 associates with the subcomplexes of complex IV that are potential assembly intermediates. Formation of these subcomplexes depends on Coa1 (YIL157c), a novel assembly factor that cooperates with Shy1. Moreover, partially assembled forms of complex IV bound to Shy1 and Cox14 can associate with the bc1 complex to form transitional supercomplexes. We suggest that Shy1 links Cox1 translational regulation to complex IV assembly and supercomplex formation.
