1. Mitochondrial membrane of brown adipose tissue compared to that of liver possesses a very high activity of oxidative enzymes but a low activity of ATPase. 2. The polypeptide composition of the mitochondrial membranes proves that the above differences in enzyme activities are due to increased content of oxidative enzymes and decreased content of ATPase in brown adipose tissue. 3. The inhibition of ATPase of brown adipose tissue mitochondria by aurovertin, oligomycin and DCCD indicates modified proportions between the components of the ATPase complex. 4. The organization of brown adipose tissue mitochondrial membrane in relation to its thermogenic function is discussed. 相似文献

Uncoupling protein in human brown adipose tissue mitochondria. Isolation and detection by specific antiserum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A protein of Mr 32 000 has been isolated from human infant brown adipose tissue mitochondria following the procedure used to purify the uncoupling protein from rat brown adipose tissue mitochondria. A specific antiserum has been raised against the human 32 kDa protein, and used to detect it by probing mitochondrial proteins separated by SDS-PAGE. The protein is present in large amounts in brown adipose tissue but is undetectable in human liver, heart or white adipose tissue. It has strong immunological cross-reactivity with rat brown adipose tissue uncoupling protein. 相似文献

1. Oligomycin-insensitive ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) was purified from brown adipose tissue mitochondria. It had a specific activity of 50 units/mg which could be increased up to 85 units/mg by KHCO3. The isolated enzyme represented less than 0.5% of the initial membrane proteins.2. The enzyme had a molecular weight equal to beef heart ATPase and was composed of five subunits with molecular weights of 56 200, 54 300, 33 500, 13 400 and 9500 respectively. 3. Isolated ATPase was labile while cold and was activated by the divalent cations Mn2+, Mg2+, Co2+ and Cd2+. The optimum ATP/Mg2+ ratio found was 1.58 and the enzyme had a maximum activity at pH 8.5; the Km was 220 micrometer. 4. The ATPase activity was 55% inhibited by aurovertin. The isolated enzyme enhanced the fluorescence of aurovertin, quenched by ATP and Mg2+ and enhanced by ADP. 5. Oligomycin sensitivity and cold stability of isolated ATPase was restored by its reconstitution with both brown adipose tissue and beef heart particles depleted of ATPase. 6. The results presented demonstrate that the low ATPase activity of brown adipose tissue mitochondria is due to a reduced content of ATPase. 相似文献

At low concentrations, diethylstilbestrol (DES) is shown to be a potent F0-directed inhibitor of the F0F1-ATPase of rat liver mitochondria. In analogy to other F0-directed inhibitors, DES inhibits both the ATPase and ATP-dependent proton-translocation activities of the purified and membrane bound enzyme. When added at low concentrations with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), a covalent inhibitor, DES acts synergistically to inhibit ATPase activity of the complex. At higher concentrations, DES restores DCCD-inhibited ATPase activity. However, there is no restoration of ATP-dependent proton translocation. Under these conditions DCCD remains covalently bound to the F0F1-ATPase complex and F1 remains bound to Fo. Significantly, when the F0F1-ATPase is inhibited by the Fo-directed inhibitor venturicidin rather than DCCD, DES is also able to restore ATPase activity. In contrast, DES is unable to restore ATPase activity to F0F1 preparations inhibited by the Fo-directed inhibitors oligomycin or tricyclohexyltin. However, combinations of [DES + DCCD] or [DES + venturicidin] can restore ATPase activity to F0F1 preparations inhibited by either oligomycin or tricyclohexyltin. Results presented here indicate that the F0 moiety of the rat liver mitochondrial proton ATPase contains a distinct binding site for DES. In addition, they suggest that at saturating concentrations simultaneous occupancy of the DES binding site and sites for either DCCD or venturicidin promote "uncoupled" ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

Differentiation of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide reactive sites of the ATPase complex bovine heart mitochondria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
1. In isolated bovine heart mitochondria, the 14C-labelled dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) induced inhibition of the ATPase activity is accompanied by labelling of three polypeptides of Mx 9000, 16 000 and 33 000. Of these, only the 9000 polypeptide reacts with [14C]DCCD proportionally to the inhibitory effect, being saturated when the enzyme is maximally inhibited. 2. The 9000 and 16 000 polypeptides are extracted by neutral chloroform/methanol (2 : 1 v/v) while the 33 000 polypeptide remains in the non-extractable residue. No disaggregation of the polypeptides takes place during the extraction. 3. In the ATPase complex immunoprecipitated with antibody against F1, the 9000 and 16 000 polypeptides are present, but the 33 000 polypeptide is absent. 4. The results obtained indicate that the 33 000 polypeptide is not a component of the ATPase complex. As far as F0 is concerned, two types of the binding sites for DCCD were demonstrated, corresponding to the 9000 and 16 000 polypeptides. Their existence is explained by a non-random arrangement among individual monomers of the DCCD-binding protein. 相似文献

A new technique for single-step subcellular fractionation of adipose tissue homogenates by analytical sucrose density gradient centrifugation in a vertical pocket reorientating rotor is described. The density gradient distributions of mitochondrial and peroxisomal marker enzymes in brown and white adipose tissue of control and cold exposed rats are compared. The equilibrium density of brown fat mitochondria was found to be significantly increased compared with white fat mitochondria. GDP binding activity was localized solely to the mitochondria in both control and cold-adapted brown adipose tissue. Brown and white fat mitochondria fractions were isolated by differential centrifugation and the specific activities of various enzymes in the homogenate and mitochondrial preparations determined. The specific activity of creatine kinase in brown adipose tissue was found to be ten-fold higher than in white fat and subcellular fractionation studies showed the activity to have an exclusively cytosolic distribution in both tissues. GDP binding activity and some of the mitochondrial enzymes showed, in brown adipose, a striking increase in total activity in cold adapted rats compared to control animals. For some enzyme activities there was a small increase when expressed per mg tissue or per mg mitochondrial protein. When expressed per mg DNA i.e. per cell, there was a reduced specific activity of the mitochondrial and peroxisomal enzymes in both brown and white adipose tissue on cold adaptation. 相似文献

Antimitochondrial antibodies are found in a variety of autoimmune liver diseases, particularly primary biliary cirrhosis. The antigen against which these antibodies are directed is localized on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Earlier work suggested that this antigen was associated with the mitochondrial ATPase. However, we have succeeded in separating the enzyme activity from the antigenic activity using gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Furthermore, the antigenic activity is not affected by modulators of ATPase enzymatic activity like aurovertin or oligomycin. The antigenic activity is, however, very susceptible to reagents which block thiol groups. The mitochondrial antigen, in contrast to the ATPase enzyme, is found in high amounts in brown fat mitochondria. Identification of this antigen may help to explain why specific antimitochondrial antibodies arise in the sera of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.Abbreviations ATPase

1. The oligomeric dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)-binding protein of mitochondrial ATPase was studied using (a) the relationship between [14C]DCCD binding and inhibition of ATPase activities and (b) the analysis of the kinetics of inhibition. 2. The [14C]DCCD binding to bovine heart mitochondria is linearly proportional to the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis up to a 50% decrease of the original activity resulting in 0.6 mol DCCD bound covalently to the specific inhibitory site (Hous?t?k, J., Svoboda, P., Kopecký, J., Kuz?ela, S?. and Drahota, Z. (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 634, 331–339) per mol of the fully inhibited enzyme. 3. Kinetics of the inhibition of both the ATPase activity (heart and liver mitochondria) and ADP-stimulated respiration (liver) reveal that 1 mol DCCD per mol ATPase eliminates both the synthetic and the hydrolytic activities. It is inferred that the activity-binding correlation underestimates the number of DCCD-reactive sites. 4. The second-order rate constant of the DCCD-ATPase interaction (k) is inversely related to the concentration of membranes, indicating that DCCD reaches the inhibitory site by concentrating in the hydrophobic (phospholipid) environment. 5. At a given concentration of liver mitochondria, comparable k values are obtained both for the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis (k=5.35·102M?1·min?1) and ADP-stimulated respiration (k=5.67·102M?1·min?1). 6. It is concluded that both the synthetic and the hydrolytic functions of ATPase are inhibited via a common single DCCD-reactive site. This site is represented by one of the several polypeptide chains forming the oligomer of the DCCD-binding protein. The inhibitor-ATPase interaction does not exhibit cooperativity, indicating that the preferential reactivity towards DCCD is an inherent property of the inhibitory site. 相似文献

Immunochemical detection and quantitation of brown adipose tissue uncoupling protein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A polyclonal antisera against rat brown adipose tissue mitochondrial uncoupling protein was used to examine mitochondrial samples from liver and white and brown adipose tissue from several mammalian species. A sodium dodecyl sulfate--polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic separation of proteins combined with an immunochemical method allowed for visualization of antigen--antibody complexes on nitrocellulose blots. Hamster, cavy, monkey, and mouse brown adipose tissue mitochondrial samples cross-reacted with the antisera. Mitochondria prepared from white fat obtained from young swine and sheep contained two closely migrating, antigenically active proteins. Hepatic mitochondria samples did not contain antigenically active protein. Reflectance densitometry was used for quantitation of the uncoupling protein in various mitochondrial samples. In rats fed diets low in protein, there appears to be a dissociation between the concentration of uncoupling protein and the number of nucleotide binding sites as given by the [3H]GDP binding assay. These results are indicative of a physiological activation of the uncoupling protein. 相似文献

Incorporation of L-[U-14C] leucine into liver, brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle mitochondrial proteins was determined in vivo and in vitro during cold-acclimation. Major alterations in mitochondrial protein metabolism were observed in brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle but not in liver. Immediate cold-exposure is accompanied by an inhibition of the in vivo incorporation of L-[U-14C] leucine into mitochondrial proteins of all tissues. However, during cold-acclimation the incorporation of leucine increases markedly in brown adipose tissue, continues to decrease in skeletal muscle, nut does not change appreciably in the liver. Because increased incorporation of L-[U-14C]-leucine into brown adipose tissue mitochondrial proteins was observed both in vivo and in vitro, it can be concluded that the mitochondrial protein-synthesizing system of this tissue is directly affected by the acclimation process. The observed changes in mitochondrial protein metabolism of brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle might be responsible for the development of several morphological and biochemical alterations that characterize the establishment in these tissues of the cold-acclimated state. 相似文献

1. The specific activity of cytochrome-oxidase, succinate-cytochrome c reductase and su-cinate-oxidase of brown adipose tissue mitochondria of 17-day-old rats was found to be twice as high in brwon adipose tissue mitochondria as in the liver. The specific activity of rotenone-sensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase and NADH-oxidase was found to be six times higher in brown adipose tissue mitochondria than in the liver. 2. Brown adipose tissue mitochondria have extremely low activity of outer membrane enzymes. When compared with liver the specific activity of rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase was found to be seven times lower, the specific activity of monoamineoxidase up to 30 times lower according to the substrate used. 3. The optimum conditions for the determination of both NADH-cytochrome c reductases in brown adipose tissue mitochondria were more specified on the base of the following findings: (a) the outer membrane rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase is strongly inactivated by freezing-thawing, (b) freezing-thawing, alone is insufficient to release completely maximal activity of rotenone-sensitive NADH-cytochrone c reductase, freezing-thawing activite can be further potentiated by e.g. trypsin treatment. 4. The activities of the outer membranes of brown-adipose tissue mitochondria are discussed with regards to the structural integrity of the outer membrane, the activities of the inner membrane enzymes are discussed with regards to the functional specifity of the tissue. 相似文献

Thermogenin is the purine-nucleotide binding polypeptide in brown adipose tissue mitochondria (Mr 32 000) which confers upon these mitochondria the ability to produce heat. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed to demonstrate and quantitate the occurrence of thermogenin antigen in small amounts of tissue, and thus to characterize different depots of fat tissue as white or brown. The extreme sensitivity of the method allows determination of thermogenin in samples equivalent to <1 mg tissue. The results indicate that thermogenin seems to be exclusively localised in brown fat mitochondria (as compared to white fat, liver or heart muscle mitochondria), and thermogenin antigen could only be found in brown adipocytes (as compared to white adipocytes). Thus, brown and white adipose tissue are probably ontogenetically different 相似文献

The sequential appearance of changes in interscapular brown adipose tissue composition, cytochrome oxidase activity and GDP binding was studied throughout pregnancy and lactation in the rat. Brown adipose tissue was hypertrophied during pregnancy because of progressive lipid accumulation, whereas its mitochondrial component and GDP binding to brown fat mitochondria were unchanged. In early lactation (day 5) there was a decrease in the overall GDP binding to brown fat only because of the lower mitochondrial protein content. In late stages of lactation (days 10 and 15), the amount of tissue and its mitochondrial protein content were minimal and the GDP binding per mitochondrial protein decreased substantially. Scatchard analysis in day-15-lactating rats indicated a large decrease in GDP binding sites without any changes in affinity. It is concluded that the diminished thermogenic activity of brown fat in lactation is attained through changes at different structural levels of the tissue occurring in a characteristic sequential trend; first a reduction in its mitochondrial component, and only later, at mid-lactation, a decrease in the specific mitochondrial proton conductance pathway activity. 相似文献

In rapidly growing, highly glycolytic hepatoma cells as much as 65% of the total cell hexokinase is bound to the outer mitochondrial membrane [Parry, D.M., & Pedersen, P.L. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 10904-10912]. In this paper, we describe the purification to apparent homogeneity of a mitochondrial pore-forming protein from the highly glycolytic AS-30D rat hepatoma cell line. The purified protein shows a single 35 000-dalton band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, an amino acid composition slightly more hydrophobic than that of the rat liver pore protein (also known as VDAC or mitochondrial porin), and a channel-forming activity of 136 channels min-1 (microgram of protein)-1. In addition to displaying the properties characteristic of VDAC (single-channel conductance, voltage dependence, and preference for anions), we observe that the AS-30D VDAC protein is one of only three mitochondrial proteins that bind [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) at relatively low dosages (2 nmol of DCCD/mg of mitochondrial protein). Significantly, treatment of intact mitochondria isolated from either rat liver or the AS-30D hepatoma with DCCD results in an almost complete inhibition of their ability to binding hexokinase. Fifty percent inhibition of binding occurs at less than 2 nmol of DCCD/mg of mitochondrial protein. In contrast to DCCD, water-soluble carbodiimides are without effect on hexokinase binding. These results suggest that the pore-forming protein of tumor mitochondria forms at least part of the hexokinase receptor complex. In addition, they indicate that a carboxyl residue located within a hydrophobic region of the receptor complex may play a critical role in hexokinase binding. 相似文献

Brown adipose tissue of developing hamster was characterized by western blotting, enzyme activity measurements and immunoelectron microscopy. During the first postnatal week the tissue contained significant amounts of differentiating mitochondria and comparable quantities of active cytochrome oxidase and ATP synthase. The uncoupling protein appeared on the 7/8th day and its specific content increased 80-times between day 8 and day 17. In parallel, the specific content and activity of cytochrome oxidase increased 3-times but ATP synthase decreased 2-times. The total content of uncoupling protein and of cytochrome oxidase in interscapular brown adipose tissue increased 360- and 11-times, respectively. Analysis of isolated mitochondria showed that the observed differences result mainly from changes of the enzymic equipment of the mitochondrial membrane. During the same interval, propylthiouracil-insensitive "type II' thyroxine 5'-deiodinase activity in brown adipose tissue increased 10-times. It was concluded that the thermogenic function of the hamster brown adipose tissue develops after the first postnatal week due to highly differentiated synthesis of mitochondrial proteins leading to replacement of preexisting, uncoupling protein-lacking nonthermogenic mitochondria by thermogenic ones, similarly as shown in brown adipose tissue of the embryonic mouse and rat (Houst?k, J., et al. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 935, 19-25). 相似文献

The requirement of bovine heart mitochondrial oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) in conferring dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)-sensitivity to membrane-bound F1 was investigated by using OSCP-depleted membrane fraction (UF0) of ATP synthase. The ATPase activity of UF0-F1 was completely insensitive to DCCD while that of UF0-F1-OSCP was inhibited 95% by 16 microM DCCD. Both UF0-F1 and UF0-F1-OSCP complexes bound 5 nmol [14C]DCCD/mg UF0, and all the radioactivity was found to be associated with the DCCD-binding proteolipid. The data suggest that OSCP may be necessary for transmitting not only energy-linked signals, but also signals induced by F0 inhibitory ligands in mitochondrial energy transduction. 相似文献

Cold acclimation of hamsters was found to result in an increase in cytochrome concentration relative to ATPase activity in brown adipose tissue mitochondria, but not in liver mitochondria. These data lend support to the hypothesis that the uncoupled respiration characteristic of non-shivering thermogenesis is the result of an adaptive change in the composition of brown adipose tissue mitochondria in response to cold acclimation. 相似文献

The effects of fasting and refeeding on the concentration of uncoupling protein in brown adipose tissue mitochondria have been investigated in mice. Fasting mice for 48 h led to a large decrease in the total cytochrome oxidase activity of the interscapular brown fat pad. Mitochondrial GDP binding and the specific mitochondrial concentration of uncoupling protein also fell on fasting. After 24 h refeeding both GDP binding and the mitochondrial concentration of uncoupling protein were normalized, but there was no alteration in the total tissue cytochrome oxidase activity. Fasting appears to induce a selective loss of uncoupling protein from brown adipose tissue mitochondria, which is rapidly reversible on refeeding. 相似文献
