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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

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).

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.

Modular assembly of yeast cytochrome oxidase.

Project description:Previous studies of yeast cytochrome oxidase (COX) biogenesis identified Cox1p, one of the three mitochondrially encoded core subunits, in two high-molecular weight complexes combined with regulatory/assembly factors essential for expression of this subunit. In the present study we use pulse-chase labeling experiments in conjunction with isolated mitochondria to identify new Cox1p intermediates and place them in an ordered pathway. Our results indicate that before its assimilation into COX, Cox1p transitions through five intermediates that are differentiated by their compositions of accessory factors and of two of the eight imported subunits. We propose a model of COX biogenesis in which Cox1p and the two other mitochondrial gene products, Cox2p and Cox3p, constitute independent assembly modules, each with its own complement of subunits. Unlike their bacterial counterparts, which are composed only of the individual core subunits, the final sequence in which the mitochondrial modules associate to form the holoenzyme may have been conserved during evolution.

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.

Isolated cytochrome c oxidase deficiency as a cause of MELAS.

Project description:Deletion of a single nucleotide (7630delT) within MT-CO2, the gene of subunit II of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), was identified in a clinically typical MELAS case. The deletion-induced frameshift results in a stop codon close to the 5' end of the reading frame. The lack of subunit II (COII) precludes the assembly of COX and leads to the degradation of unassembled subunits, even those not directly affected by the mutation. Despite mitochondrial proliferation and transcriptional upregulation of nuclear and mtDNA-encoded COX genes (including MT-CO2), a severe COX deficiency was found with all investigations of the muscle biopsy (histochemistry, biochemistry, immunoblotting). The 7630delT mutation in MT-CO2 leads to a lack of COII with subsequent misassembly and degradation of respiratory complex IV despite transcriptional upregulation of its subunits. The genetic and pathobiochemical heterogeneity of MELAS appears to be greater than previously appreciated.

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

Project description: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.

Pet191 is a cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The twin-Cx(9)C motif protein Pet191 is essential for cytochrome c oxidase maturation. The motif Cys residues are functionally important and appear to be present in disulfide linkages within a large oligomeric complex associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane. The import of Pet191 differs from that of other twin-Cx(9)C motif class of proteins in being independent of the Mia40 pathway.

Catalytic characterization and cytokine mediated regulation of cytochrome P450 4Fs in rat hepatocytes.

Project description:Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 4F mediated leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) metabolism modulates inflammation during injury and infection. Here we show that in addition to LTB(4), the recombinant rat CYP4Fs catalyze omega-hydroxylations of lipoxin A(4), and hydroxyeicosatetraeonic acids. CYP4F gene regulation studies in primary hepatocytes reveal that pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL) -1beta, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -alpha produce a general inductive response whereas IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, suppresses CYP4F expression. The molecular mechanism behind IL-6 related induction of CYP4F4 and 4F5 is partially signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) dependent. When hepatocytes are subjected to high concentrations of LTB(4) or prostaglandin E(2), lipid mediators of inflammation, only an increase in CYP4F5 mRNA expression is observed. Collectively, the results from isozyme activity and substrate driven CYP4F induction do not support the notion that an autoregulatory pathway could control the excessive concentrations of LTB(4) during an inflammatory challenge to hepatocytes.
