    Abstract Paracoccus denitrificans has a classical cytochrome-dependent electron transport chain and two alternative oxidases. The classical transport chain is very similar to that in eukaryotic mitochondria. Thus, P. denitrificans can serve as a model of the mammalian mitochondrion that may be more tractable in elucidating mechanisms of regulation of energy production than are mitochondria. In a previous publication we reported detailed studies on respiration in P. denitrificans grown aerobically on glucose or malate. We noted that P. denitrificans has large stores of lactate under various growth conditions. This is surprising because P. denitrificans lacks an NAD

    Abstract Vascular production of nitric oxide (NO) regulates vascular tone. However, highly permeable NO entering the cardiomyocyte would profoundly impact metabolism and signalling without scavenging mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to establish mechanisms of cardiac NO scavenging. Quantitative optical studies of normoxic working hearts demonstrated that micromolar NO concentrations did not alter mitochondria redox state or respiration despite detecting NO oxidation of oxymyoglobin to metmyoglobin. These data are consistent with proposals that the myoglobin/myoglobin reductase (Mb/MbR) system is the major NO scavenging site. However, kinetic studies in intact hearts reveal a minor role (∼9%) for the Mb/MbR system in NO scavenging. In vitro, oxygenated mitochondria studies confirm that micromolar concentrations of NO bind cytochrome oxidase (COX) and inhibit respiration. Mitochondria had a very high capacity for NO scavenging, importantly, independent of NO binding to COX. NO is also known to quickly react with reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vitro. Stimulation of NO scavenging with antimycin and its inhibition by substrate depletion are consistent with NO interacting with ROS generated in Complex I or III under aerobic conditions. Extrapolating these in vitro data to the intact heart supports the hypothesis that mitochondria are a major site of cardiac NO scavenging. KEY POINTS: Cardiomyocyte scavenging of vascular nitric oxide (NO) is critical in maintaining normal cardiac function. Myoglobin redox cycling via myoglobin reductase has been proposed as a major NO scavenging site in the heart. Non-invasive optical spectroscopy was used to monitor the effect of NO on mitochondria and myoglobin redox state in intact beating heart and isolated mitochondria. These non-invasive studies reveal myoglobin/myoglobin reductase plays a minor role in cardiac NO scavenging. A high capacity for NO scavenging by heart mitochondria was demonstrated, independent of cytochrome oxidase binding but dependent on oxygen and high redox potentials consistent with generation of reactive oxygen species.

    Abstract Paracoccus denitrificans is a model organism for the study of oxidative phosphorylation. We demonstrate a very high respiratory capacity compared to mitochondria when normalizing to cytochrome aa3 content even in the absence of alternative terminal oxidases. To gain insight into conserved mechanisms of energy homeostasis, we characterized the metabolic response to K+ reintroduction. A rapid 3-4-fold increase in respiration occurred before substantial cellular K+ accumulation followed by a sustained increase of up to 6-fold that persisted after net K+ uptake stopped. Proton motive force (Δp) was slightly higher upon addition of K+ with ΔpH increasing and compensating for membrane potential (ΔΨ) depolarization. Blocking the F0F1-ATP synthase (Complex V) with venturicidin revealed that the initial K+-dependent respiratory activation was primarily due to K+ influx. However, the ability to sustain an increased respiration rate was partially dependent on Complex V activity. The 6-fold stimulation of respiration by K+ resulted in a small net reduction of most cytochromes, different from the pattern observed with chemical uncoupling and consistent with balanced input and utilization of reducing equivalents. Metabolomics showed increases in glycolytic and TCA cycle intermediates together with a decrease in basic amino acids, suggesting an increased nitrogen mobilization upon K+ replenishment. ATP and GTP concentrations increased after K+ addition, indicating a net increase in cellular potential energy. Thus, K+ stimulates energy generation and utilization resulting in an almost constant Δp and increased high-energy phosphates during large acute and steady state changes in respiration. The specific energy consuming processes and signaling events associated with this simultaneous activation of work and metabolism in P. denitrificans remain unknown. Nevertheless, this homeostatic behavior is very similar to that observed in mitochondria in tissues when cellular energy requirements increase. We conclude that the regulation of energy generation and utilization to maintain homeostasis is conserved across the prokaryote/eukaryote boundary.

    Abstract Retinal diseases exhibit extensive genetic heterogeneity and complex etiology with varying onset and severity. Mutations in over 200 genes can lead to photoreceptor dysfunction and/or cell death in retinal neurodegeneration. To deduce molecular pathways that initiate and/or drive cell death, we adopted a temporal multiomics approach and examined molecular and cellular events in newborn and developing photoreceptors before the onset of degeneration in a widely-used Pde6brd1/rd1 (rd1) mouse, a model of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa caused by PDE6B mutations. Transcriptome profiling of neonatal and developing rods from the rd1 retina revealed early downregulation of genes associated with anabolic pathways and energy metabolism. Quantitative proteomics of rd1 retina showed early changes in calcium signaling and oxidative phosphorylation, with specific partial bypass of complex I electron transfer, which precede the onset of cell death. Concurrently, we detected alterations in central carbon metabolism, including dysregulation of components associated with glycolysis, pentose phosphate and purine biosynthesis. Ex vivo assays of oxygen consumption and transmission electron microscopy validated early and progressive mitochondrial stress and abnormalities in mitochondrial structure and function of rd1 rods. These data uncover mitochondrial overactivation and related metabolic alterations as determinants of early pathology and implicate aberrant calcium signaling as an initiator of higher mitochondrial stress. Our studies thus provide a mechanistic framework with mitochondrial damage and metabolic disruptions as early drivers of photoreceptor cell death in retinal degeneration.

    Abstract It has become appreciated over the last several years that protein phosphorylation within the cardiac mitochondrial matrix and respiratory complexes is extensive. Given the importance of oxidative phosphorylation and the balance of energy metabolism in the heart, the potential regulatory effect of these classical signaling events on mitochondrial function is of interest. However, the functional impact of protein phosphorylation and the kinase/phosphatase system responsible for it are relatively unknown. Exceptions include the well-characterized pyruvate dehydrogenase and branched chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase regulatory system. The first task of this review is to update the current status of protein phosphorylation detection primarily in the matrix and evaluate evidence linking these events with enzymatic function or protein processing. To manage the scope of this effort, we have focused on the pathways involved in energy metabolism. The high sensitivity of modern methods of detecting protein phosphorylation and the low specificity of many kinases suggests that detection of protein phosphorylation sites without information on the mole fraction of phosphorylation is difficult to interpret, especially in metabolic enzymes, and is likely irrelevant to function. However, several systems including protein translocation, adenine nucleotide translocase, cytochrome c, and complex IV protein phosphorylation have been well correlated with enzymatic function along with the classical dehydrogenase systems. The second task is to review the current understanding of the kinase/phosphatase system within the matrix. Though it is clear that protein phosphorylation occurs within the matrix, based on (32)P incorporation and quantitative mass spectrometry measures, the kinase/phosphatase system responsible for this process is ill-defined. An argument is presented that remnants of the much more labile bacterial protein phosphoryl transfer system may be present in the matrix and that the evaluation of this possibility will require the application of approaches developed for bacterial cell signaling to the mitochondria.

    Abstract Tissue transmission optical absorption spectroscopy provides dynamic information on metabolism and function. Murine genetic malleability makes it a major model for heart research. The diminutive size of the mouse heart makes optical transmission studies challenging. Using a perfused murine heart center mounted in an integrating sphere for light collection with a ventricular cavity optical catheter as an internal light source provided an effective method of optical data collection in this model. This approach provided high signal to noise optical spectra which when fit with model spectra provided information on tissue oxygenation and redox state. This technique was applied to the study of cardiac ischemia and ischemia reperfusion which generates extreme heart motion, especially during the ischemic contracture. The integrating sphere reduced motion artifacts associated with a fixed optical pickup and methods were developed to compensate for changes in tissue thickness. During ischemia, rapid decreases in myoglobin oxygenation occurred along with increases in cytochrome reduction levels. Surprisingly, when ischemic contracture occurred, myoglobin remained fully deoxygenated, while the cytochromes became more reduced consistent with a further, and critical, reduction of mitochondrial oxygen tension during ischemic contraction. This optical arrangement is an effective method of monitoring murine heart metabolism.

    Abstract We have determined the kinetics of ilicicolin binding and dissociation at center N of the yeast bc(1) complex and its effect on the reduction of cytochrome b with center P blocked. The addition of ilicicolin to the oxidized complex resulted in a non-linear inhibition of the extent of cytochrome b reduction by quinol together with a shift of the reduced b(H) heme spectrum, indicating electron transfer between monomers. The possibility of a fast exchange of ilicicolin between center N sites was excluded in two ways. First, kinetic modeling showed that fast movement of an inhibitor between monomers would result in a linear inhibition of the extent of cytochrome b reduction through center N. Second, we determined a very slow dissociation rate for ilicicolin (k = 1.2 x 10(-3) s(-1)) as calculated from its displacement by antimycin. Ilicicolin binding to the reduced bc(1) complex occurred in a single phase (k(on) = 1.5-1.7 x 10(5) m(-1) s(-1)) except in the presence of stigmatellin, where a second slower binding phase comprising approximately 50% of the spectral change was observed. This second kinetic event was weakly dependent on ilicicolin concentration, which suggests that binding of ilicicolin to one center N in the dimer transmits a slow (k = 2-3 s(-1)) conformational change that allows binding of the inhibitor in the other monomer. These results, together with the evidence for intermonomeric electron transfer, provide further support for a dimeric model of regulatory interactions between center P and center N sites in the bc(1) complex.
