In previous studies on the rhodanese activity of bovine liver mitochondria, we have shown that in addition to activity observed in the soluble protein fraction, there is rhodanese activity that is bound to the mitochondrial membrane. The latter activity accounts for as much as 40% of the total and, in situ, is associated in a multiprotein complex that forms iron-sulfur centers. In the present studies, we have investigated the rhodanese activity of bovine heart muscle. We have found that the major part of this enzyme activity is localized in the mitochondria and, further, that at least 25% of the total rhodanese activity of heart mitochondria is membrane-bound. As in liver tissue, the heart activity at least in part is associated in a multiprotein complex that forms iron-sulfur centers. Upon purification of the heart rhodanese in the soluble protein fraction, there is a 10- to 30-fold decrease inK
m values for the standard assay substrates thiosulfate and cyanide ions. These observations are consistent with the interpretation that there are activated and deactivated (low activity) forms of the heart enzyme in crude extracts, but only the activated form survives purification. The present results, together with our recent finding that liver mitochondrial rhodanese is subject to phosphorylation, lend support to our proposal that the rhodaneses serve as converter enzymes which regulate the rate of electron transport through sulfuration of respiratory chain components. The rhodaneses, in turn, are controlled by protein kinases and the local ATP concentration. 相似文献

Bovine mitochondrial rhodanese is a phosphoprotein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mitochondrial sulfurtransferase, rhodanese, has been analyzed for phosphate content. Significant amounts of protein-bound phosphate (30-40%) were measured in the six rhodanese preparations examined. Chromatographic experiments followed by phosphate analyses done on two of the preparations indicated that rhodanese A and rhodanese B, two enzyme forms that were previously resolved on DEAE-Sephadex by Blumenthal and Heinrikson (Blumenthal, K., and Heinrikson, R. L. (1971) J. Biol. Chem. 240, 2430-2437), correspond to dephospho- and phosphorhodanese, respectively. The phosphorylation of rhodanese by [gamma-32P]ATP is catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The stoichiometry of 32P incorporation based on the amount of dephosphorhodanese in the enzyme preparation approaches 1.0. The phosphorylation site is accessible in rhodanese that is free of substrate sulfur but not in the covalent enzyme-sulfur intermediate which is formed as an obligatory step during the course of catalysis. Because the cellular localization of cAMP-dependent protein kinase makes it unlikely as the physiologic modulator of rhodanese activity, liver extracts have been tested for a rhodanese kinase that does not require cAMP. Rhodanese kinase activity which is independent of cAMP is observed in extract fractions resolved by Affi-Gel Blue chromatography and freed from endogenous rhodanese by chromatography on Sephadex G-100. These results together with previous findings from this and other laboratories have led to a working model of a bicyclic cascade system that can modulate the rate of mitochondrial respiration. The essence of the model is a transduction and amplification of cellular signals into the altered covalent phosphorylation of rhodanese. Rhodanese, in turn, serves as a converter enzyme which directly alters the rate of the respiratory chain and, thus, ATP production by the reversible sulfuration of key iron-sulfur centers. The model, when expanded to include signal pathways initiated by hormones or neurotransmitters, represents a mechanism by which mitochondria can recognize and meet changing energy demands. 相似文献

The synthesis of adrenodoxin, a mitochondrial iron-sulfur protein required for adrenocortical steroidogenesis, is known to be regulated chronically by ACTH. Rhodanese, also a mitochondrial enzyme, is thought to be required for synthesis of iron-sulfur centers, such as those contained in adrenodoxin. In this study it has been found that rhodanese synthesis and activity are not regulated by ACTH, under the same conditions whereby ACTH induces adrenodoxin synthesis. In addition, unlike adrenodoxin, rhodanese is found to be synthesized in the mature form rather than as a higher molecular weight precursor protein. 相似文献

Here, we report that in the obligate aerobic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, a protein exhibiting rhodanese (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase) activity is associated with proton pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). Complex I is a key enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that contains eight iron-sulfur clusters. From a rhodanese deletion strain, we purified functional complex I that lacked the additional protein but was fully assembled and displayed no functional defects or changes in EPR signature. In contrast to previous suggestions, this indicated that the sulfurtransferase associated with Y. lipolytica complex I is not required for assembly of its iron-sulfur clusters. 相似文献

A study was made on the effects of DL-dihydrolipoate, lipoate and iron-sulfur proteins on the activity of rhodanese (EC 2.8.1.1) with dihydrolipoate or cyanide as acceptors. DL-Dihydrolipoate inactivates rhodanese, lipoate does not, and the opposite occurs with the sulfur-free form of the transferase. The observed effects vary with the sulfane sulfur acceptor from rhodanese (i.e., dihydrolipoate or cyanide) and depend on intramolecular oxidation of the catalytic sulfhydryl or on formation of a mixed disulfide with dihydrolipoate. Thiosulfate protects against inactivation by reloading the active-site cysteine with persulfide sulfur. The inhibition of sulfur transfer by iron-sulfur proteins appears related to the amount of native iron-sulfur structure interacting with rhodanese. The implications of the results for a possible biological role of rhodanese are considered. 相似文献

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from bovine heart mitochondria is a highly complicated, energy transducing, membrane-bound enzyme. It contains 46 different subunits and nine redox cofactors: a noncovalently bound flavin mononucleotide and eight iron-sulfur clusters. The mechanism of complex I is not known. Mechanistic studies using the bovine enzyme, a model for human complex I, have been precluded by the difficulty of preparing complex I which is pure, monodisperse, and fully catalytically active. Here, we describe and characterize a preparation of bovine complex I which fulfills all of these criteria. The catalytic activity is strongly dependent on the phospholipid content of the preparation, and three classes of phospholipid interactions with complex I have been identified. First, complex I contains tightly bound cardiolipin. Cardiolipin may be required for the structural integrity of the complex or play a functional role. Second, the catalytic activity is determined by the amounts of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) which are bound to the complex. They are more weakly bound than cardiolipin, exchange with PC and PE in solution, and can substitute for one another. However, their nontransitory loss leads to irreversible functional impairment. Third, phospholipids are also required in the assay buffer for the purified enzyme to exhibit its full activity. It is likely that they are required for solubilization and presentation of the hydrophobic ubiquinone substrate. 相似文献

Unfolded (inactive) rhodanese (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) can be reactivated in the presence of detergents, e.g. lauryl maltoside (LM). Here, we report the reactivation of urea-unfolded rhodanese in the presence of mixed micelles containing LM and the anionic mitochondrial phospholipid, cardiolipin (CL). Reactivation times increased as the number of CL molecules/micelle was increased. A maximum of 94% of the activity was recovered at 2.2 CL/micelle. Only 71% of the activity was recovered in the absence of CL. The major zwitterionic mitochondrial phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine (PC), had no effect on the LM-assisted reactivation of rhodanese. Size exclusion chromatography showed that denatured, but not native, rhodanese apparently binds to micellar amounts of LM and CL/LM, but not to PC/LM micelles. The lifetime of the enzyme-micelle complex increased with the number of CL molecules/micelle. Furthermore, chromatographic fractions containing micelle-bound enzyme had no activity, while renatured rhodanese-containing fractions were active. These results suggest that transient complexes form between enzyme and both LM and CL/LM micelles, and that this complex formation may be necessary for reactivation. For CL/LM micelles, interactions may occur between the positively charged amino-terminal sequence of rhodanese and the negatively charged CL phosphate. Finally, this work shows that there are similarities between "micelle-assisted" and chaperonin-assisted rhodanese refolding. 相似文献

A soluble extract was obtained on treatment of rat liver mitochondrial outer membranes with cholate which bound [14C]malonyl-CoA but was essentially free of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) activity. Extraction of mitochondrial inner membranes with cholate readily solubilized a CPT activity which was insensitive to malonyl-CoA. Combination of these two extracts caused the CPT derived from inner membranes to become inhibitable by malonyl-CoA. 相似文献

To investigate the relationship between post-translational processing of the Rieske iron-sulfur protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its assembly into the mitochondrial cytochrome bc1 complex we used iron-sulfur proteins in which the presequences had been changed by site-directed mutagenesis of the cloned iron-sulfur protein gene, so that the recognition sites for the matrix processing peptidase or the mitochondrial intermediate peptidase (MIP) had been destroyed. When yeast strain JPJ1, in which the gene for the iron-sulfur protein is deleted, was transformed with these constructs on a single copy expression vector, mitochondrial membranes and bc1 complexes isolated from these strains accumulated intermediate length iron-sulfur proteins in vivo. The cytochrome bc1 complex activities of these membranes and bc1 complexes indicate that intermediate iron-sulfur protein (i-ISP) has full activity when compared with that of mature sized iron-sulfur protein (m-ISP). Therefore the iron-sulfur cluster must have been inserted before processing of i-ISP to m-ISP by MIP. When iron-sulfur protein is imported into mitochondria in vitro, i-ISP interacts with components of the bc1 complex before it is processed to m-ISP. These results establish that the iron-sulfur cluster is inserted into the apoprotein before MIP cleaves off the second part of the presequence and that this second processing step takes place after i-ISP has been assembled into the bc1 complex. 相似文献

Presence of the cytosolic factor stimulating the import of precursor of mitochondrial proteins in rabbit reticulocytes and rat liver cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Previously we purified a cytosolic factor that stimulates the import of the extrapeptide (the synthetic peptide of the presequence of ornithine aminotransferase) into the mitochondrial matrix (Ono, H., and Tuboi, S., 1988, J. Biol. Chem. 263, 3188-3193). In this work this cytosolic factor was shown also to stimulate the import of the precursors of ornithine aminotransferase, a large subunit of succinate dehydrogenase, and sulfite oxidase. The amounts of these precursors bound to the outer mitochondrial membrane were increased by this cytosolic factor, suggesting that the cytosolic factor participates in the recognition step in the import process of the precursor protein. When the cytosolic factor was applied to an ATP-agarose column, the import-stimulating activity was recovered entirely in the unadsorbed fraction. Immunochemical studies showed that in these conditions the 70-kDa heat shock-related protein (Hsp 70) was present exclusively in the fraction adsorbed to the ATP-agarose column. The cytosolic factor is thus different from the 70-kDa heat shock-related protein, which was identified as a factor required for the import of mitochondrial proteins in yeast. The cytosolic factor was also detected in the cytosol of rat liver cells, and a considerable amount of this factor was recovered from rat liver mitochondria by washing them with high salt buffer, suggesting that the cytosolic factor has affinity to the outer mitochondrial membrane and binds to its receptor on the membrane. From these results, we conclude that the cytosolic factor forms a complex with the precursor of mitochondrial protein and then this complex binds to the outer mitochondrial membrane, probably via the receptor of the cytosolic factor. 相似文献

Efficient formation of the cpn60-rhodanese complex can be achieved by mixing unfolded rhodanese with excess cpn60 at low temperature. By employing these conditions, a stable and highly reactivatable complex is formed. The complex is not formed when native enzyme is used. Concentrations of NaCl, as high as 0.75 M, do not have any effect on the formation or disruption of the binary complex. cpn60-bound rhodanese contains an exposed hydrophobic surface, as detected by the binding of the fluorescent reporter, 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid. The intrinsic fluorescence of cpn60-bound rhodanese reports that the average tryptophan is in an intermediate environment between that found in unfolded and native states. This form of rhodanese has an accessibility to quenching by acrylamide or iodide that is intermediate between the unfolded and native forms of the enzyme. Protease susceptibility studies show that rhodanese bound to cpn60 exhibits a trypsin digestion pattern similar to the native enzyme, although it is more rapidly proteolyzed. The results suggest that the conformation of cpn60-bound rhodanese resembles a native-like conformation, but with increased flexibility. Further, only intact rhodanese or enzyme lacking its N-terminal sequence can interact with cpn60 and form a stable binary complex. The protein fragment corresponding to the rhodanese N-terminal sequence did not form part of a stable complex with cpn60. 相似文献

Taurodeoxycholate 7α-monooxygenase was partially purified from rat liver microsomes. The enzyme was solubilized with cholate, fractionated with polyethylene glycol and chromatographed on a Sepharose 4B column with cholate as ligand. The enzyme activity was eluted from the column into the fraction eluted with 50 mM phosphate buffer containing cholate and KCl, whereas the benzphetamine demethylase activity was eluted in the non-bound fraction. Thus it was established that both enzymes are different entities. The taurodeoxycholate 7α-monooxygenase activity was reconstituted from the partially purified cytochrome P-450, highly purified NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, dilauroylglyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine and NADPH. 相似文献

1. Basal levels and allyl-isopropylacetamide (AIA) or veronal induced levels of delta-amino-levulinate synthetase (ALA-S), cytoplasmic and mitochondrial rhodanese were determined in tumor (T) and liver of both normal mice (NM) and T-bearing mice (TBM). 2. Rhodanese tumoral mitochondrial levels were higher than the hepatic normal mitochondrial fraction, while the cytoplasmic activity was nearly equal in all sources. 3. In neither case was the activity of tumoral ALA-S and rhodanese altered by any of the porphyrinogenic drugs. 4. Mitochondrial and cytoplasmic rhodanese activity was also measured in tumor and liver of TBM at different intervals after transplantation. We concluded that the behaviour of rhodanese is a property inherent to the tissue and not one attained with time. 相似文献

Bovine liver rhodanese, which catalyzes the transfer of sulfur atoms between a variety of sulfur donor and sulfur acceptor substrates, is inhibited by metal cyanide complexes [Volini, M., Van Sweringen, B., & Chen, F.-Sh. (1978) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 191, 205-215]. Crystallographic studies are described which reveal the binding mode of four different metal cyanides to bovine liver rhodanese: Na[Au(CN2], K2[Pt(CN)4], K2[Ni(CN)4], and K2[Zn(CN)4]. It appears that these complexes bind at one common site at the entrance of the active site pocket, interacting with the positively charged side chains of Arg-186 and Lys-249. This observation explains the inhibition of rhodanese by this class of compounds. For the platinum and nickel cyanide complexes virtually no other binding sites are observed. The gold complex binds, however, to three additional cysteine residues, thereby also displacing the extra sulfur atom which was bound to the essential Cys-247 in the sulfur-rhodanese complex. The zinc complex binds to completely different additional sites and forms complexes with the side chains of Asp-101 and His-203. Possible reasons for these different binding modes are discussed in terms of the preference for "hard" and "soft" ligands of these four metal ions. 相似文献

A homologue of a nuclear-coded iron-sulfur protein subunit of bovine mitochondrial complex I is encoded in chloroplast genomes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The chloroplast genomes of Marchantia polymorpha, Nicotiana tabacum, and Oryza sativa contain open reading frames (ORFs or potential genes) encoding homologues of some of the subunits of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). Seven of these subunits (ND1-ND4, ND4L, ND5, and ND6) are products of the mitochondrial genome, and two others (the 49- and 30-kDa components of the iron-sulfur protein fraction) are nuclear gene products. These findings have been taken to indicate the presence in chloroplasts of an enzyme related to complex I, possibly an NAD(P)H:plastoquinone oxidoreductase, participating in chlororespiration. This view is reinforced by the present work in which we have shown that chloroplast genomes encode a homologue of the 23-kDa subunit, another nuclear-encoded component of bovine complex I. The 23-kDa subunit is in the hydrophobic protein fraction of the enzyme, the residuum after removal of the flavoprotein and iron-sulfur protein fractions. The sequence motif CysXXCysXXCysXXXCysPro, which provides ligands for tetranuclear iron-sulfur centers in ferredoxins, occurs twice in its polypeptide chain and is evidence of two associated 4Fe-4S clusters. This is the only iron-sulfur protein identified so far in the hydrophobic protein fraction of complex I, and so it is possible that one of these centers is that known as N-2, the donor of electrons to ubiquinone. The sequence of the 23-kDa subunit is closely related to potential proteins, which also contain the cysteine-rich sequence motifs, encoded in the frxB ORFs in chloroplast genomes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The molecular mass of rhodanese from the mitochondrial fraction of frog Rana temporaria liver, equaling 8.7 kDa, was determined by high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HP-SEC). The considerable difference in molecular weight and the lack of common antigenic determinants between frog liver rhodanese and bovine rhodanese suggest the occurrence of different forms of this sulfurtransferase in the liver of these animals. 相似文献

Limited proteolysis of solubilized beef heart mitochondrial complex III with trypsin yields a product previously identified as fragment V" (González-Halphen, D., Lindorfer, M. A., and Capaldi, R. A. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 7021-7031). In this work, fragment V" was generated by trypsin treatment of both the intact complex III and the purified Rieske iron-sulfur protein. Thus, in its bound or isolated form, the same sites of subunit V are sensitive to protease action. Fragment V" was a soluble protein that retained its iron-sulfur moiety. It was purified by exclusion from a hydrophobic phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B column followed by gel filtration. In contrast to the pure, intact subunit V, fragment V" did not reconstitute oxidoreductase activity when combined with complex III devoid of subunit V. However, a 20-amino acid synthetic peptide carrying the sequence between amino acids Lys33 and Lys52 of the Rieske iron-sulfur protein competed with intact subunit V in reconstitution assays. The results obtained suggest that the iron-sulfur protein binds to complex III by hydrophobic protein-protein interactions, and that a nontransmembrane 18-amino acid amphipathic stretch accounts for the association of this subunit to the rest of the complex. 相似文献

Abstract— About 10% of the glutaminase activity associated with pig brain mitochondria was readily extractable by a variety of techniques but the remainder was very resistant to extraction. These two forms, which have been termed the soluble and membrane-bound forms respectively, have been shown to differ in their responses to activation by phosphate and phosphate-borate containing buffers. Submitochondrial fractionation studies indicated that the soluble form was located in the mitochondrial inner matrix whereas the membrane-bound form was associated with the inner membrane. The mitochondria associated with the synaptosomes were found to contain only the membrane-bound form of the enzyme whereas both forms were present in the free brain mitochondria. 相似文献

A membrane-bound glutathione peroxidase-like activity has been detected in liver and cardiac mitochondrial membrane. This enzyme activity differs from the cytosol and mitochondrial matrix selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase in that it is membrane bound, sensitive to sonication and triton-X-100, and is unaffected by prolonged feeding of a selenium-free diet. This mitochondrial membrane-bound enzyme activity differs from the glutathione-S-transferases which exhibit glutathione peroxidase activity in that it is capable of utilizing both cumene hydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide as substrates. Digitonin fractionation studies indicate that this enzyme is not located in either inner or outer mitochondrial membrane but rather within inter-membrane space. This newly described membrane-bound enzyme activity may play an important role in the maintenance of cardiac mitochondrial integrity in that mitochondrial matrix does not contain glutathione peroxidase. 相似文献

In semi-crude liver extracts, rhodanese is associated with iron protein. A component purified from mitochondrial extracts exhibits the properties of a rhodanese-apoprotein complex. It can be converted to a rhodanese-iron protein complex by incubation with iron ions, mercaptoethanol, and the sulfur-donor substrate, thiosulfate ion. The protein complex evidences an extinction coefficient close to 5000 per mole of bound iron near 400 nm. Estimates of labile sulfide for these preparations range from 0.6–0.9 mole per mole of bound iron. Furthermore, in the rhodanese-catalyzed thiosulfate-cyanide reaction, iron ion is an inhibitor competitive with cyanide suggesting that iron ion serves as a physiological sulfur-acceptor substrate for the enzyme. 相似文献
