Unraveling the complexities of mitochondrial supercomplexes by mass spectrometry-based proteomics
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: It is now accepted that mitochondrial respiratory complex subunits assemble in supercomplexes. However, studying supercomplexes has typically relied upon antibody-based protein quantification, often limited to a single subunit per respiratory complex. To provide a deeper insight into mitochondrial plasticity and supercomplex formation, we combined Blue Native Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) and high-resolution mass spectrometry-based proteomics in sedentary and exercise-trained skeletal muscle. We quantified 422 mitochondrial proteins within ten bands. Our analyses revealed the often-unaccounted presence of complex II and V subunits within the majority of supercomplexes. Upon exercise-induced mitochondrial biogenesis, non-stoichiometric changes in subunits and their incorporation into supercomplexes were apparent. Finally, we uncovered the dynamics of supercomplex-related assembly proteins and mtDNA-encoded subunits within supercomplexes, as well as the high-molecular mass complexes of ubiquinone biosynthesis enzymes and Lactb, a mitochondrial-localized obesogenic polymer. Thus, combining BN-PAGE and mass spectrometry to comprehensively analyze respiratory supercomplexes illuminates previously undetectable complexity in mitochondrial plasticity.
