Oxidative phosphorylation in cardiolipin-lacking yeast mitochondria.

ABSTRACT: The role of cardiolipin in mitochondrial energy transformation was studied by comparing oxidative phosphorylation in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cardiolipin synthase null mutant crd1Delta, and in isogenic wild type. Oxygen consumption experiments and membrane potential kinetics during the phosphorylation cycle in isolated mitochondria indicated that the absence of cardiolipin causes only a moderate deficiency of mitochondrial energy-transforming machinery at 25 degrees C. However, at 40 degrees C, respiration was completely uncoupled from phosphorylation for the mutant mitochondria, in contrast with that for the wild-type. Membranepotential kinetics demonstrated an increased susceptibility of the mutant mitochondria to gradual deterioration during in vitro incubation. These results suggest that cardiolipin, although normally associated with several of the major enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation and required in vitro for their maximal activity, is not absolutely necessary for mitochondrial energy transformation under optimal conditions. The role of cardiolipin is, rather, to improve efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation and its resistance to unfavourable conditions, such as increased temperature.

Structural insights into cardiolipin replacement by phosphatidylglycerol in a cardiolipin-lacking yeast respiratory supercomplex.

Project description:Cardiolipin is a hallmark phospholipid of mitochondrial membranes. Despite established significance of cardiolipin in supporting respiratory supercomplex organization, a mechanistic understanding of this lipid-protein interaction is still lacking. To address the essential role of cardiolipin in supercomplex organization, we report cryo-EM structures of a wild type supercomplex (IV1III2IV1) and a supercomplex (III2IV1) isolated from a cardiolipin-lacking Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant at 3.2-Å and 3.3-Å resolution, respectively, and demonstrate that phosphatidylglycerol in III2IV1 occupies similar positions as cardiolipin in IV1III2IV1. Lipid-protein interactions within these complexes differ, which conceivably underlies the reduced level of IV1III2IV1 and high levels of III2IV1 and free III2 and IV in mutant mitochondria. Here we show that anionic phospholipids interact with positive amino acids and appear to nucleate a phospholipid domain at the interface between the individual complexes, which dampen charge repulsion and further stabilize interaction, respectively, between individual complexes.

Assembly of the complexes of oxidative phosphorylation triggers the remodeling of cardiolipin.

Project description:Cardiolipin (CL) is a mitochondrial phospholipid with a very specific and functionally important fatty acid composition, generated by tafazzin. However, in vitro tafazzin catalyzes a promiscuous acyl exchange that acquires specificity only in response to perturbations of the physical state of lipids. To identify the process that imposes acyl specificity onto CL remodeling in vivo, we analyzed a series of deletions and knockdowns in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Drosophila melanogaster, including carriers, membrane homeostasis proteins, fission-fusion proteins, cristae-shape controlling and MICOS proteins, and the complexes I-V. Among those, only the complexes of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) affected the CL composition. Rather than any specific complex, it was the global impairment of the OXPHOS system that altered CL and at the same time shortened its half-life. The knockdown of OXPHOS expression had the same effect on CL as the knockdown of tafazzin in Drosophila flight muscles, including a change in CL composition and the accumulation of monolyso-CL. Thus, the assembly of OXPHOS complexes induces CL remodeling, which, in turn, leads to CL stabilization. We hypothesize that protein crowding in the OXPHOS system imposes packing stress on the lipid bilayer, which is relieved by CL remodeling to form tightly packed lipid-protein complexes.

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.

Respiration-driven proton translocation by yeast mitochondria with differing efficiencies of oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:Measurements were made of the stoicheiometry of proton translocation coupled to respiration in mitochondria from Candida utilis where the number of functional energy-conservation sites between intramitochondrial NADH and oxygen was one in a mutant with a novel oxidase (Downie & Garland, 1972), two in sulphate-deficient cells (Haddock & Garland, 1971) or three in glycerol-limited cells (Light & Garland, 1971). The stoicheiometries of protons translocated per atom of oxygen utilized (i.e. -->H(+)/2e(-) ratio; Mitchell, 1966) were close to 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 respectively. Thus by using the same substrate (intramitochondrial NADH) and oxygen throughout, the -->H(+)/2e(-) ratio is shown to be 2.0 per energy-conservation site when the number of such sites is varied from one to three.

Transcriptional regulation of yeast oxidative phosphorylation hypoxic genes by oxidative stress.

Project description:AimsMitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunit 5 and cytochrome c (Cyc) exist in two isoforms, transcriptionally regulated by oxygen in yeast. The gene pair COX5a/CYC1 encodes the normoxic isoforms (Cox5a and iso1-Cyc) and the gene pair COX5b/CYC7 encodes the hypoxic isoforms (Cox5b and iso2-Cyc). Rox1 is a transcriptional repressor of COX5b/CYC7 in normoxia. COX5b is additionally repressed by Ord1. Here, we investigated whether these pathways respond to environmental and mitochondria-generated oxidative stress.ResultsThe superoxide inducer menadione triggered a significant de-repression of COX5b and CYC7. Hydrogen peroxide elicited milder de-repression effects that were enhanced in the absence of Yap1, a key determinant in oxidative stress resistance. COX5b/CYC7 was also de-repressed in wild-type cells treated with antimycin A, a mitochondrial bc1 complex inhibitor that increases superoxide production. Exposure to menadione and H2O2 enhanced both, Hap1-independent expression of ROX1 and Rox1 steady-state levels without affecting Ord1. However, oxidative stress lowered the occupancy of Rox1 on COX5b and CYC7 promoters, thus inducing their de-repression.InnovationReactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced hypoxic gene expression in normoxia involves the oxygen-responding Rox1 transcriptional machinery. Contrary to what occurs in hypoxia, ROS enhances Rox1 accumulation. However, its transcriptional repression capacity is compromised.ConclusionROS induce expression of hypoxic COX5b and CYC7 genes through an Ord1- and Hap1-independent mechanism that promotes the release of Rox1 from or limits the access of Rox1 to its hypoxic gene promoter targets.

Cysteine desulfurase is regulated by phosphorylation of Nfs1 in yeast mitochondria.

Project description:The cysteine desulfurase Nfs1/Isd11 uses the amino acid cysteine as the substrate and its activity is absolutely required for contributing persulfide sulfur to the essential process of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly in mitochondria. Here we describe a novel regulatory process involving phosphorylation of Nfs1 in mitochondria. Phosphorylation enhanced cysteine desulfurase activity, while dephosphorylation decreased its activity. Nfs1 phosphopeptides were identified, and the corresponding phosphosite mutants showed impaired persulfide formation. Nfs1 pull down from mitochondria recovered an associated kinase activity, and Yck2, a kinase present in the pull down, was able to phosphorylate Nfs1 in vitro and stimulate cysteine desulfurase activity. Yck2 exhibited an eclipsed distribution in the mitochondrial matrix, although other cellular localizations have been previously described. Mitochondria lacking the Yck2 protein kinase (∆yck2) showed less phosphorylating activity for Nfs1. Compared with wild-type mitochondria, ∆yck2 mitochondria revealed slower persulfide formation on Nfs1 consistent with a role of Yck2 in regulating mitochondrial cysteine desulfurase activity. We propose that Nfs1 phosphorylation may provide a means of rapid adaptation to increased metabolic demand for sulfur and Fe-S clusters within mitochondria.

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.

Cardiac mitochondria in heart failure: decrease in respirasomes and oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:AimsMitochondrial dysfunction is a major factor in heart failure (HF). A pronounced variability of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) defects is reported to occur in severe acquired cardiomyopathies without a consistent trend for depressed activity or expression. The aim of this study was to define the defect in the integrative function of cardiac mitochondria in coronary microembolization-induced HF.Methods and resultsStudies were performed in the canine coronary microembolization-induced HF model of moderate severity. Oxidative phosphorylation was assessed as the integrative function of mitochondria, using a comprehensive variety of substrates in order to investigate mitochondrial membrane transport, dehydrogenase activity and electron-transport coupled to ATP synthesis. The supramolecular organization of the mitochondrial ETC also was investigated by native gel electrophoresis. We found a dramatic decrease in ADP-stimulated respiration that was not relieved by an uncoupler. Moreover, the ADP/O ratio was normal, indicating no defect in the phosphorylation apparatus. The data point to a defect in oxidative phosphorylation within the ETC. However, the individual activities of ETC complexes were normal. The amount of the supercomplex consisting of complex I/complex III dimer/complex IV, the major form of respirasome considered essential for oxidative phosphorylation, was decreased.ConclusionsWe propose that the mitochondrial defect lies in the supermolecular assembly rather than in the individual components of the ETC.

A Novel Triphenylphosphonium Carrier to Target Mitochondria without Uncoupling Oxidative Phosphorylation.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction is an underlying pathology in numerous diseases. Delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic cargo directly into mitochondria is a powerful approach to study and treat these diseases. The triphenylphosphonium (TPP+) moiety is the most widely used mitochondriotropic carrier. However, studies have shown that TPP+ is not inert; TPP+ conjugates uncouple mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. To date, all efforts toward addressing this problem have focused on modifying lipophilicity of TPP+-linker-cargo conjugates to alter mitochondrial uptake, albeit with limited success. We show that structural modifications to the TPP+ phenyl rings that decrease electron density on the phosphorus atom can abrogate uncoupling activity as compared to the parent TPP+ moiety and prevent dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential. These alterations of the TPP+ structure do not negatively affect the delivery of cargo to mitochondria. Results here identify the 4-CF3-phenyl TPP+ moiety as an inert mitochondria-targeting carrier to safely target pharmacophores and probes to mitochondria.
