Oxidative phosphorylation. Halide-dependent and halide-independent effects of triorganotin and trioganolead compounds on mitochondrial functions.

ABSTRACT: 1. Each of five triorganotin and five triorganolead compounds was shown to perturb mithochondrial functions in three different ways. One is dependent and two are independent of Cl- in the medium. 2. Structure-activity relationships for the three interactions are described, and compounds suitable as tools for the separate study of each process are defined. 3. In a Cl- -containing medium trimethyltin, triethyltin, trimethyl-lead, triethyl-lead and tri-n-propyl-lead all produce the same maximum rate of ATP hydrolysis and O2 uptake; this rate is much less than that produced by uncoupling agents such as 2,4-dinitrophenol. 4. Increase in ATP hydrolysis and O2 uptake are measures on energy ultilization when triogranotin and triorganolead compounds bring about an exchange of external C1- for intramitochondrial OH- ions. Possible rate-limiting steps in this process are discussed. 5. In a C1- -containing medium ATP synthesis linked to the oxidation of beta-hydroxybutyrate or reduced cytochrone c is less inhibited by triethyltin or triethyl-lead than is ATP synthesis linked to the oxidation of succinate, pyruvate or L-glutamate. 6. The inhibition of ATP synthesis linked to the oxidation of both beta-hydroxybutyrate and reduced cytochrome c consists of two processes: one is a limited uncoupling and is C1- -dependent and the other is a C1- -independent inhibition of the energy-conservation system. 7. The different sensitivities to inhibition by triethyltin of mitochondrial functions involving the oxidation of beta-hydroxybutyrate and succinate are compared and discussed.

Effects of thyroid hormone on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:In order to locate sites of action of thyroid hormone on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation we have used an experimental application of control analysis as previously described [Groen, Wanders, Westerhoff, Van der Meer & Tager (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 2754-2757]. Rat-liver mitochondria were isolated from hypothyroid rats or from hypothyroid rats 24 h after treatment with a single dose of 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3). The amount of control exerted by four different steps on State-3 respiration with succinate as respiratory substrate was quantified by using specific inhibitors. The hormone treatment resulted in an increase in the flux control coefficient of the adenine nucleotide translocator, the dicarboxylate carrier and cytochrome c oxidase and a decrease in the flux control coefficient of the bc1-complex. The results of this analysis indicate that thyroid hormone treatment results in an activation of the bc1-complex and of at least one other enzyme, possibly succinate dehydrogenase. Measurement of the extramitochondrial ATP/ADP ratio at different rates of respiration (induced by addition of different amounts of hexokinase in the presence of glucose and ATP) showed that the adenine nucleotide translocator operates at a higher (ATP/ADP)out after T3 treatment, which supports previous reports on stimulation of this step by thyroid hormone.

Amyloid precursor protein drives down-regulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation independent of amyloid beta.

Project description:Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its extracellular domain, soluble APP alpha (sAPP?) play important physiological and neuroprotective roles. However, rare forms of familial Alzheimer's disease are associated with mutations in APP that increase toxic amyloidogenic cleavage of APP and produce amyloid beta (A?) at the expense of sAPP? and other non-amyloidogenic fragments. Although mitochondrial dysfunction has become an established hallmark of neurotoxicity, the link between A? and mitochondrial function is unclear. In this study we investigated the effects of increased levels of neuronal APP or A? on mitochondrial metabolism and gene expression, in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Increased non-amyloidogenic processing of APP, but not A?, profoundly decreased respiration and enhanced glycolysis, while mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transcripts were decreased, without detrimental effects to cell growth. These effects cannot be ascribed to A? toxicity, since higher levels of endogenous A? in our models do not cause oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) perturbations. Similarly, chemical inhibition of ?-secretase decreased mitochondrial respiration, suggesting that non-amyloidogenic processing of APP may be responsible for mitochondrial changes. Our results have two important implications, the need for caution in the interpretation of mitochondrial perturbations in models where APP is overexpressed, and a potential role of sAPP? or other non-amyloid APP fragments as acute modulators of mitochondrial metabolism.

AMP-activated protein kinase-independent inhibition of hepatic mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation by AICA riboside.

Project description:AICA riboside (5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside) has been extensively used in cells to activate the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a metabolic sensor involved in cell energy homoeostasis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of AICA riboside on mitochondrial oxidative; phosphorylation. AICA riboside was found to dose-dependently inhibit the oligomycin-sensitive JO2 (oxygen consumption rate) of isolated rat hepatocytes. A decrease in P(i) (inorganic phosphate), ATP, AMP and total adenine nucleotide contents was also observed with AICA riboside concentrations >0.1 mM. Interestingly, in hepatocytes from mice lacking both alpha1 and alpha2 AMPK catalytic subunits, basal JO2 and expression of several mitochondrial proteins were significantly reduced compared with wild-type mice, suggesting that mitochondrial biogenesis was perturbed. However, inhibition of JO2 by AICA riboside was still present in the mutant mice and thus was clearly not mediated by AMPK. In permeabilized hepatocytes, this inhibition was no longer evident, suggesting that it could be due to intracellular accumulation of Z nucleotides and/or loss of adenine nucleotides and P(i). ZMP did indeed inhibit respiration in isolated rat mitochondria through a direct effect on the respiratory-chain complex I. In addition, inhibition of JO2 by AICA riboside was also potentiated in cells incubated with fructose to deplete adenine nucleotides and P(i). We conclude that AICA riboside inhibits cellular respiration by an AMPK-independent mechanism that likely results from the combined intracellular P(i) depletion and ZMP accumulation. Our data also demonstrate that the cellular effects of AICA riboside are not necessarily caused by AMPK activation and that their interpretation should be taken with caution.

Pyrimidine Pathway-Dependent and -Independent Functions of the Toxoplasma gondii Mitochondrial Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase.

Project description:Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) mediates the fourth step of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis and is a proven drug target for inducing immunosuppression in therapy of human disease as well as a rapidly emerging drug target for treatment of malaria. In Toxoplasma gondii, disruption of the first, fifth, or sixth step of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis induced uracil auxotrophy. However, previous attempts to generate uracil auxotrophy by genetically deleting the mitochondrion-associated DHODH of T. gondii (TgDHODH) failed. To further address the essentiality of TgDHODH, mutant gene alleles deficient in TgDHODH activity were designed to ablate the enzyme activity. Replacement of the endogenous DHODH gene with catalytically deficient DHODH gene alleles induced uracil auxotrophy. Catalytically deficient TgDHODH localized to the mitochondria, and parasites retained mitochondrial membrane potential. These results show that TgDHODH is essential for the synthesis of pyrimidines and suggest that TgDHODH is required for a second essential function independent of its role in pyrimidine biosynthesis.

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

Project description: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.

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 in autosomal dominant optic atrophy.

Project description:BackgroundAutosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), a form of progressive bilateral blindness due to loss of retinal ganglion cells and optic nerve deterioration, arises predominantly from mutations in the nuclear gene for the mitochondrial GTPase, OPA1. OPA1 localizes to mitochondrial cristae in the inner membrane where electron transport chain complexes are enriched. While OPA1 has been characterized for its role in mitochondrial cristae structure and organelle fusion, possible effects of OPA1 on mitochondrial function have not been determined.ResultsMitochondria from six ADOA patients bearing OPA1 mutations and ten ADOA patients with unidentified gene mutations were studied for respiratory capacity and electron transport complex function. Results suggest that the nuclear DNA mutations that give rise to ADOA in our patient population do not alter mitochondrial electron transport.ConclusionWe conclude that the pathophysiology of ADOA likely stems from the role of OPA1 in mitochondrial structure or fusion and not from OPA1 support of oxidative phosphorylation.

Frataxin activates mitochondrial energy conversion and oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by decreased expression of the mitochondrial protein frataxin. The biological function of frataxin is unclear. The homologue of frataxin in yeast, YFH1, is required for cellular respiration and was suggested to regulate mitochondrial iron homeostasis. Patients suffering from FA exhibit decreased ATP production in skeletal muscle. We now demonstrate that overexpression of frataxin in mammalian cells causes a Ca(2+)-induced up-regulation of tricarboxylic acid cycle flux and respiration, which, in turn, leads to an increased mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi(m)) and results in an elevated cellular ATP content. Thus, frataxin appears to be a key activator of mitochondrial energy conversion and oxidative phosphorylation.

Transcriptional regulation of Th17 differentiation by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation

Project description:We found that mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) plays a critical role in Th17 lineage specification. CD4 T cells differentiated under OXPHOS inhibited conditions show altered metabolic gene profiles (mitochondrial function, glycolysis, and TCA cycle) and pathways associated with cell proliferation. Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed that mitochondrial respiration impacts transcriptional profiles related to Th17 pathogenic signatures and BATF-sensitive gene clusters. Our study reveals a regulatory role of mitochondrial OXPHOS in transcriptional programming of Th17 lineage commitment.

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.
