Oxidative phosphorylation. The relation between the specific binding of trimethylytin and triethyltin to mitochondria and their effects on various mitochondrial functions.

ABSTRACT: 1. A binding site (site 1) is present in mitochondria with affinity for trimethyltin and triethyltin adequate for a site to which they could be attached when the processes of energy conservation are inhibited. 2. The quantitative relationships between the binding of trimethyltin and triethyltin to site 1 and their effects on various mitochondrial functions have been examined. 3. ATP synthesis linked to the oxidation of pyruvate, succinate and intramitochondrial substrate, ATP synthesis and oxygen uptake (succinate or pyruvate as substrate) stimulated by uncoupling agents are all inhibited by trimethyltin and triethyltin; when inhibition is less than 50% the ratio (percentage inhibition)/(percentage of binding site 1 complexed) is approx. 10:1. 4. ATP synthesis linked to the oxidation of reduced cytochrome c (ascorbate+NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine), ATP hydrolysis and oxygen uptake in the presence of low concentrations of trimethyltin and triethyltin approach zero activity as the proportion of binding site 1 complexed approaches 100%. 5. Possible interpretations of these findings are discussed with reference to published arrangements for coupling of electron transport to ATP synthesis and also to our present knowledge of the chemical and biological specificity of trialkyltin compounds.

Oxidative phosphorylation. The effect of anions on the inhibition by triethyltin of various mitochondrial functions, and the relationship between this inhibition and binding of triethyltin.

Project description:1. The binding of triethyltin to rat liver mitochondria is unaffected by the nature of the predominant anion in the incubation medium. 2. With chloride, bromide or iodide as the predominant anion, ATP synthesis linked to the oxidation of pyruvate or succinate and ATP hydrolysis stimulated by 2,4-dinitrophenol are much more sensitive to triethyltin than they are when nitrate or isethionate is the predominant anion. 3. When nitrate or isethionate is the predominant anion, oxygen uptake stimulated by 2,4-dinitrophenol is not inhibited by triethyltin. 4. In the presence of nitrate or isethionate anions, inhibition of ATP synthesis is directly related to the binding of triethyltin to mitochondria. 5. The relationship of the above effects to the anion-hydroxide ion exchange mediated by triethyltin and the relevance of this to published arrangements for coupling of electron transport to ATP synthesis are discussed.

Oxidative phosphorylation. The specific binding of trimethyltin and triethyltin to rat liver mitochondria.

Project description:1. The binding of trimethyltin and triethyltin to rat liver mitochondria was determined and the results were analysed by the method of Scatchard (1949). 2. One binding site (site 1) has the correct characteristics for the site to which trimethyltin and triethyltin are attached when they inhibit oxidative phosphorylation. For each compound the concentration of site 1 is 0.8nmol/mg of protein and the ratios of their affinity constants are the same as the ratio of the concentrations inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation. 3. Binding site 1 is present in a fraction derived from mitochondria containing only 15% of the original protein. In this preparation ultrasonication rapidly destroyed site 1. 4. Dimethyltin and diethyltin do not prevent binding of triethyltin to rat liver mitochondria, whereas triethyl-lead does. 5. Trimethyltin and triethyltin bind to mitochondria from brown adipose tissue and the results indicate a binding site 1 similar to that in rat liver mitochondria. 6. The advantages and limitations of this approach to the study of inhibitors are discussed.

Cyclic AMP produced inside mitochondria regulates oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:Mitochondria constantly respond to changes in substrate availability and energy utilization to maintain cellular ATP supplies, and at the same time control reactive oxygen radical (ROS) production. Reversible phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins has been proposed to play a fundamental role in metabolic homeostasis, but very little is known about the signaling pathways involved. We show here that protein kinase A (PKA) regulates ATP production by phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins, including subunits of cytochrome c oxidase. The cyclic AMP (cAMP), which activates mitochondrial PKA, does not originate from cytoplasmic sources but is generated within mitochondria by the carbon dioxide/bicarbonate-regulated soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in response to metabolically generated carbon dioxide. We demonstrate for the first time the existence of a CO(2)-HCO(3)(-)-sAC-cAMP-PKA (mito-sAC) signaling cascade wholly contained within mitochondria, which serves as a metabolic sensor modulating ATP generation and ROS production in response to nutrient availability.

Ribosome recycling defects modify the balance between the synthesis and assembly of specific subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation complexes in yeast mitochondria.

Project description:Mitochondria have their own translation machinery that produces key subunits of the OXPHOS complexes. This machinery relies on the coordinated action of nuclear-encoded factors of bacterial origin that are well conserved between humans and yeast. In humans, mutations in these factors can cause diseases; in yeast, mutations abolishing mitochondrial translation destabilize the mitochondrial DNA. We show that when the mitochondrial genome contains no introns, the loss of the yeast factors Mif3 and Rrf1 involved in ribosome recycling neither blocks translation nor destabilizes mitochondrial DNA. Rather, the absence of these factors increases the synthesis of the mitochondrially-encoded subunits Cox1, Cytb and Atp9, while strongly impairing the assembly of OXPHOS complexes IV and V. We further show that in the absence of Rrf1, the COX1 specific translation activator Mss51 accumulates in low molecular weight forms, thought to be the source of the translationally-active form, explaining the increased synthesis of Cox1. We propose that Rrf1 takes part in the coordination between translation and OXPHOS assembly in yeast mitochondria. These interactions between general and specific translation factors might reveal an evolutionary adaptation of the bacterial translation machinery to the set of integral membrane proteins that are translated within mitochondria.

Nutritional effects on mitochondrial bioenergetics. Alterations in oxidative phosphorylation by rat liver mitochondria.

Project description:Rats malnourished since birth and fed on a protein-free diet for 2 weeks showed a 23-27% decrease in the State-3 oxidation of glutamate, succinate and ascorbate + NNN' N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine by liver mitochondria compared with control fed animals. ATP synthesis and the respiratory control index were diminished at the three coupling sites, but significant alterations were not observed in ADP/O ratios. Vmax. for NADH oxidation in electron-transport particles was 40% lower. Mitochondrial cytochromes b and c1 remained unchanged, but cytochrome c was increased by 26%. Cytochromes a + a3 were diminished by 22%. Vmax. for mitochondrial ATPase was 23% lower. These results suggest that the lower content of cytochrome a + a3 at the rate-controlling step of oxidative phosphorylation in malnourished rats might be mainly responsible for the decrease in substrate oxidations as well as ATP synthesis at the three coupling sites. The decreased synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP suggests that other energy-dependent mitochondrial processes could be decreased during malnutrition.

Retinal Manifestations of Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation Disorders.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this paper was to discuss manifestations of primary mitochondrial dysfunctions and whether the retinal pigment epithelium or the photoreceptors are preferentially affected.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed of patients with clinically and laboratory confirmed diagnoses of maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) or Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS). Patients underwent full ophthalmic examination, full-field electroretinogram, and multimodal imaging studies, including short-wavelength autofluorescence, spectral domain-optical coherence tomography, and color fundus photography.ResultsA total of five patients with MIDD and four patients with KSS were evaluated at two tertiary referral centers. Mean age at initial evaluation was 50.3 years old. Nascent outer retinal tubulations corresponding with faint foci of autofluorescence were observed in two patients with MIDD. Characteristic features of this cohort included a foveal sparing phenotype observed in 13 of 18 eyes (72%), global absence of intraretinal pigment migration, and preserved retinal function on full-field electroretinogram testing in 12 of 16 eyes (75%). One patient diagnosed with MIDD presented with an unusual pattern of atrophy surrounding the parapapillary region and one patient with KSS presented with an atypical choroideremia-like phenotype.ConclusionsMIDD and KSS are phenotypically heterogeneous disorders. Several features of disease suggest that primary mitochondrial dysfunction may first affect the retinal pigment epithelium followed by secondary photoreceptor loss. Similarities between primary mitochondrial degenerations and retinal disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration may suggest a primary role of mitochondria in the pathogenesis of these oligogenic disorders.

Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation Regulates the Fate Decision between Pathogenic Th17 and Regulatory T Cells.

Project description:Understanding metabolic pathways that regulate Th17 development is important to broaden therapeutic options for Th17-mediated autoimmunity. Here, we report a pivotal role of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for lineage specification toward pathogenic Th17 differentiation. Th17 cells rapidly increase mitochondrial respiration during development, and this is necessary for metabolic reprogramming following T cell activation. Surprisingly, specific inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthase ablates Th17 pathogenicity in a mouse model of autoimmunity by preventing Th17 pathogenic signature gene expression. Notably, cells activated under OXPHOS-inhibited Th17 conditions preferentially express Foxp3, rather than Th17 genes, and become suppressive Treg cells. Mechanistically, OXPHOS promotes the Th17 pioneer transcription factor, BATF, and facilitates T cell receptor (TCR) and mTOR signaling. Correspondingly, overexpression of BATF rescues Th17 development when ATP synthase activity is restricted. Together, our data reveal a regulatory role of mitochondrial OXPHOS in dictating the fate decision between Th17 and Treg cells by supporting early molecular events necessary for Th17 commitment.

FOXM1 nuclear transcription factor translocates into mitochondria and inhibits oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1), a nuclear transcription factor that activates cell cycle regulatory genes, is highly expressed in a majority of human cancers. The function of FOXM1 independent of nuclear transcription is unknown. In the present study, we found the FOXM1 protein inside the mitochondria. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we generated FOXM1 mutant proteins that localized to distinct cellular compartments, uncoupling the nuclear and mitochondrial functions of FOXM1. Directing FOXM1 into the mitochondria decreased mitochondrial mass, membrane potential, respiration, and electron transport chain (ETC) activity. In mitochondria, the FOXM1 directly bound to and increased the pentatricopeptide repeat domain 1 (PTCD1) protein, a mitochondrial leucine-specific tRNA binding protein that inhibits leucine-rich ETC complexes. Mitochondrial FOXM1 did not change cellular proliferation. Thus, FOXM1 translocates into mitochondria and inhibits mitochondrial respiration by increasing PTCD1. We identify a new paradigm that FOXM1 regulates mitochondrial homeostasis in a process independent of nuclear transcription.

Ordered Clusters of the Complete Oxidative Phosphorylation System in Cardiac Mitochondria.

Project description:The existence of a complete oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) supercomplex including both electron transport system and ATP synthases has long been assumed based on functional evidence. However, no structural confirmation of the docking between ATP synthase and proton pumps has been obtained. In this study, cryo-electron tomography was used to reveal the supramolecular architecture of the rat heart mitochondria cristae during ATP synthesis. Respirasome and ATP synthase structure in situ were determined using subtomogram averaging. The obtained reconstructions of the inner mitochondrial membrane demonstrated that rows of respiratory chain supercomplexes can dock with rows of ATP synthases forming oligomeric ordered clusters. These ordered clusters indicate a new type of OXPHOS structural organization. It should ensure the quickness, efficiency, and damage resistance of OXPHOS, providing a direct proton transfer from pumps to ATP synthase along the lateral pH gradient without energy dissipation.
