Salicylhydroxamic acid-stimulated NADH oxidation by purified plasmalemma vesicles from wheat roots

Purified, right side-out plasmalemma vesicles were isolated from 7-day-old roots of dark-grown wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Drabant) by aqueous polymer two-phase partitioning. The oxygen consumption by these vesicles at pH 6.5 in the presence of 1 m M NADH [12–29 nmol (mg protein)⁻¹min⁻¹] was 66% inhibited by 1 m M KCN and ca 40% by 1 m M EDTA. It was unaffected by rotenone, antimycin A, carbonyl cyanide trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP), mersalyl, chlorotetracycline + Ca²⁺, and EGTA. Salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) and its analogue, m -chlorobenzhydroxamic acid, stimulated the rate of oxygen consumption 10–20 fold in the presence of 1 m M NAD(P)H with an apparent K_m (SHAM) of ca 40 μ M (with NADH). The dependence of O₂ consumption on NADH concentration in the presence of SHAM (2 m M ) was sigmoidal, possibly due to endogenous catalase activity, and half-maximal rate was obtained at 1.5 m M . In the absence of SHAM the rate increased with increasing acidity and no pH optimum was detectable between pH 4.5 and 8.5. In the presence of SHAM an optimum was observed at pH 6.5 and 0.8 mol of H₂O₂ was produced for every 1 mol O₂ consumed. Endogenous catalase converted this H₂O₂ to O₂ and after complete conversion the stoichiometry was 2 mol NADH consumed for every mol O₃. SHAM was not consumed in the reaction. The possible involvement of a cytochrome P-450/420 system is discussed.     

Effects of KCN and Salicylhydroxamic Acid on Respiration of Soybean Leaves at Different Ages

Measurements of respiration were made on leaf discs from glasshouse-grown soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv `Corsoy') plants in the presence and absence of cyanide (KCN) and salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM). O₂ uptake by mature leaves measured at 25°C was stimulated by 1 millimolar KCN (63%) and also by 5 millimolar azide (79%). SHAM, an inhibitor of the alternative oxidase and a selection of other enzymes, also stimulated O₂ uptake by itself at concentration of 10 millimolar. However, in combination, KCN and SHAM were inhibitory. The rate of O₂ uptake declined consistently with leaf age. The stimulation of O₂ uptake by KCN and by SHAM occurred only after a certain stage of leaf development had been reached and was more pronounced in fully expanded leaves. In young leaves, O₂ uptake was inhibited by both KCN and SHAM individually. The uncoupler, p-trifluoromethoxy carbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone, stimulated leaf respiration at all ages studied, the stimulation being more pronounced in fully expanded leaves. The uncoupled rate was inhibited by KCN and SHAM individually. The capacity of the cytochrome path declined with leaf age, paralleling the decline in total respiration. However, the capacity of the alternative path peaked at about full leaf expansion, exceeding the cytochrome capacity and remaining relatively constant. These results are consistent with the presence in soybean leaves of an alternative path capacity that seems to increase with age, and they suggest that the stimulation of O₂ uptake by KCN and NaN₃ in mature leaves was mainly by the SHAM-sensitive alternative path. The stimulation of O₂ uptake by SHAM was not expected, and the reason for it is not clear.     

Hydrogen peroxide formation and iron ion oxidoreduction linked to NADH oxidation in radish plasmalemma vesicles

Previously, we showed the presence in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) plasmalemma vesicles of an NAD(P)H oxidase, active at pH 4.5-5.0, which elicits the formation of anion superoxide (Vianello and Macrí (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 980, 202-208). In this work, we studied the role of hydrogen peroxide and iron ions upon this oxidase activity. NADH oxidation was stimulated by ferrous ions and, to a lesser extent, by ferric ions. Salicylate and benzoate, two known hydroxyl radical scavengers, inhibited both basal and iron-stimulated NADH oxidase activity. The iron chelators EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and DFA (deferoxamine melysate) at high concentrations (2 mM) inhibited the NADH oxidation, whereas they were ineffective at lower concentrations (80 microM); the subsequent addition of ferrous ions caused a rapid and limited increase of oxygen consumption which later ceased. Hydrogen peroxide was not detected during NADH oxidation but, in the presence of salicylate, its formation was found in significant amounts. NADH oxidase activity was also associated to a Fe2+ oxidation which was only partially inhibited by salicylate. Ferrous ion oxidation was partially inhibited by catalase and prevented by superoxide dismutase, while ferric ion reduction was abolished by catalase and unaffected by superoxide dismutase. These results show that during NADH oxidation iron ions undergo oxidoreduction and that hydrogen peroxide is produced and rapidly consumed. As previously suggested, this oxidation appears linked to the univalent oxidoreduction of iron ions by a reduced flavoprotein of radish plasmalemma which is then converted to a radical form. The latter, reacting with oxygen generates the superoxide anion which dismutases to H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide, through a Fenton's reaction, may react with Fe2+ to produce hydroxyl radicals, or with Fe3+ to generate the superoxide anion.     

Vanadate-stimulated NADH oxidation by xanthine oxidase: an intrinsic property

Vanadate-dependent oxidation of NADH by xanthine oxidase does not require the presence of xanthine and therefore is not due to cooxidation. Addition of NADH or xanthine had no effect on the oxidation of the other substrate. Oxidation of NADH was high at acid pH and oxidation of xanthine was high at alkaline pH. The specific activity was relatively very high with NADH. Concentration-dependent oxidation of NADH Concentration-dependent oxidation of NADH was obtained in the presence of the polymeric form of vanadate, but not orthovanadate or metavanadate. Both NADH and NADPH were oxidized, as in the nonenzymatic system. Oxidation of NADH, but not xanthine, was inhibited by KCN, ascorbate, MnCl2, cytochrome c, mannitol, Tris, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and triiodothyronine. Oxidation of NADH was accompanied by uptake of oxygen and generation of H2O2 with a stoichiometry of 1:1:1 for NADH:O2:H2O2. A 240-nm-absorbing species was formed during the reaction which was different from H2O2 or superoxide. A mechanism of NADH oxidation is suggested wherein Vv and O2 receive one electron each successively from NADH followed by VIV giving the second electron to superoxide and reducing it to H2O2.     

Evidence for a significant contribution by peroxidase-mediated O2 uptake to root respiration of Brachypodium pinnatum

This study describes the O₂ uptake characteristics of intact roots of Brachypodium pinnatum. In the presence of 25 mM salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), concentrations of KCN below 3.5 νM had no effect on the rate of root respiration, whereas in the absence of 25 mM SHAM a significant inhibition of approx. 18% was observed. This indicates that an O₂-consuming reaction, not associated with the cytochrome pathway, the alternative pathway or the “residual component”, operates in the absence of any inhibitors in roots of B. pinnatum. We demonstrate here that this fourth O₂-consuming reaction is mediated by a peroxidase. A peroxidase which catalyzed O₂ reduction in the presence of NADH was readily washed from the roots of B. pinnatum. This peroxidase was stimulated by 5 mM SHAM, whereas ascorbic acid, catalase, catechol, gentisic acid, low concentrations potassium cyanide (3.5 μM), sodium azide, sodium sulfide, superoxide dismutase and high concentrations SHAM (25 mM) inhibited this reaction. Except for high concentrations of SHAM and concentrations of KCN higher than approx. 3.5 μM, these effectors could not be used to inhibit the peroxidase-mediated O₂ uptake in intact roots of B. pinnatum. Concentrations of SHAM below 10 mM stimulated O₂ uptake up to 15% of the control rate, depending on concentration, whereas 25 mM SHAM inhibited O₂ uptake by 35%. The stimulation at low concentrations resulted from a SHAM-stimulated peroxidase activity, whereas 25 mM SHAM completely inhibited both the peroxidase-mediated O₂ uptake and the activity of the alternative pathway. A method is presented for determining the relative contributions of each of the four O₂-consuming reactions, i.e. the cytochrome pathway, the alternative pathway, the “residual component” and the peroxidase-mediated O₂ uptake. The peroxidase-mediated O₂ uptake contributed 21% to the total rate of oxygen uptake in roots of B. pinnatum, the cytochrome pathway contributed 41%, the alternative pathway 14% and the “residual component” 24%.     

Relationship of Plasmalemma Redox Activity to K+ Uptake by Dunaliella salina Cells

The plasmalemma-bond redox system localized within the plasmalemma of unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina was studied. This system oxidized exogenous NADH, increased O2 consumption to 165 % and increased the pH of the external medium, while K+ influx was inhibited. With no NADH added, ferricyanide stimulated K+ uptake about 3 folds. In the presence of exogenous NADH, ferricyanide was rapidly reduced and the external medium was acidified, generating a greater electrochemical proton gradient across the plasmalemma, thus resulting an 6-fold increase of K+ influx. Typical inhibitors of plasmalemma H+-ATPase and redox system inhibited K+ uptake to different extent. That the inhibition of K+ uptake by vanadate could be resumed partly by addition of NADH and ferricyanide indicated that plasmalemma redox system operated in association with the H+-ATPase to exert an influence on K+ transportation. A model was presented in which the implication of two possible redox chains and H+-ATPase in generating an electrochemical potential gradient for protons (△uH+) was discussed.     

Cyanide-resistant respiration in roots and leaves. Measurements with intact tissues and isolated mitochondria

A comparison was made between the oxygen uptake of roots and leaves and of mitochondria isolated from the same tissues. Ten species were included in this study: three legumes, one C3-monocotyledon, one C4-monocotyledon, the rest non-leguminous C3-dicotyledons. Root and leaf respiration in all species examined displayed substantial resistance to KCN (0.1–1.0 mM) and the cyanide-resistant respiration was completely inhibited by salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM; 10–20 mM). SHAM alone inhibited oxygen uptake to varying degrees, depending on the species. Mitochondria were isolated from roots and leaves of many of the species examined and also displayed cyanide-resistant oxygen uptake, which was sensitive to both SHAM and tetraethylthiuram disulfide (disulfiram). Concentrations of SHAM greater than 2 mM caused inhibition of the cytochrome path as well as of the alternative path in isolated mitochondria. Respiration rates of intact roots and leaves in the presence of varying concentrations of SHAM alone were plotted against those obtained in the presence of both SHAM and KCN. This plot showed that in vivo the cytochrome pathway was not affected by 10 or 20 mM SHAM in the external solution. We conclude that the activity of the alternative pathway in intact roots and leaves can be reliably estimated by comparing SHAM-sensitivity and cyanide-resistance of respiration.     

Functional mosaicism of membrane proteins in vesicles of Escherichia coli.

Membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli prepared by osmotic lysis of lysozyme ethylenediaminetetracetate (EDTA) spheroplasts have approximately 60% of the total membrane-bound reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase (ED 1.6.99.3) and Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (EC 3.6.1.3) activities exposed on the outer surface of the inner membrane. Absorption of these vesicles with antiserum prepared against the purified soluble Mg2+-ATPase resulted in agglutination of approximately 95% of the inner membrane vesicles, as determined by dehydrogenase activity, and about 50% of the total membrane protein. The unagglutinated vesicles lacked all dehydrogenase activity and may consist of outer membrane. Lysozyme-EDTA vesicles actively transported calcium ion, using either NADH or adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as energy source. However, neither D-lactate nor reduced phenazine methosulfate energized calcium uptake, suggesting that the observed calcium uptake was not due to a small population of everted vesicles. Transport of calcium driven by either NADH or ATP was inhibited by simultaneous addition of D-lactate or reduced phenazine methosulfate. Proline transport driven by D-lactate oxidation was inhibited by either NADH oxidation or ATP hydrolysis. These results suggest that the portion of the total population of vesicles capable of active transport, i.e., the inner membrane vesicles, are functionally a homogeneous population but cannot be categorized as either right-side-out or everted, since activities normally associated with only one side of the inner membrane can be found on both sides of the membrane of these vesicles. Moreover, the data indicate that oxidation of NADH or hydrolysis of ATP by externally localized NADH dehydrogenase or Mg2+-ATPase establishes a protonmotive force of the opposite polarity from that established through D-lactate oxidation.
