Mitochondria isolated from mesophyll protoplasts differed from mitochondria isolated directly from leaves of Avena sativa in that protoplast mitochondria (a) had a lower overall respiratory capacity, (b) were less able to use low concentrations of exogenous NADH, (c) did not respond rapidly or strongly to added NAD, (d) appeared to accumulate more oxaloacetate, and (e) oxidized both succinate and tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine (an electron donor for cytochrome oxidase) more slowly than did leaf mitochondria. It is concluded that cytochrome oxidase activity was inhibited, the external NADH dehydrogenase had a reduced affinity for NADH, succinate oxidation was inhibited, NAD and oxaloacetate porters were probably inhibited, and accessibility to respiratory paths may have been reduced in protoplast mitochondria. The results also suggest that there was a reduced affinity of a succinate porter for this substrate in oat mitochondria. In addition, all oat mitochondria required salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) as well as cyanide to block malate and succinate oxidation. Malate oxidation that did not appear to saturate the cytochrome pathway was sensitive to SHAM in the absence of cyanide, suggesting that the oat mitochondria studied had concomitant alternative and subsaturating cytochrome oxidase pathway activity.  相似文献

1. Stimulation of succinate oxidation in mi-1 mitochondria by Mg2+ and Pi is abolished on uncoupling, which points to the energy-linked activation of succinate oxidation. 2. Mitochondria exhibited respiratory control with succinate and NADH when the cyanide-insensitive oxidation was inhibited by salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM). SHAM lowered the oxidation rate with NADH and succinate to the same level, though the NADH oxidation rate was 2.5 times as high as with succinate. 3. Despite the high stimulation of succinate oxidation via the SHAM-sensitive pathway in the active and controlled state of mitochondria, the redox state of UQ in all metabolic states remains unchanged. On inhibition of the cyanide-insensitive pathway, UQ reduction is greatly increased only in the controlled and active state. With NADH as a substrate, UQ does not respond to the metabolic states of mitochondria. 4. The redox changes of cytochrome c parallel those of UQ. 5. Branching of the respiratory chain in mi-1 mitochondria is discussed.  相似文献

The effect of a series of respiratory inhibitors on the oxidation of NADH in state 4 and state 3 conditions was studied with corn shoot mitochondria. Comparisons were made using malate and succinate as substrates. The inhibitors, rotenone, amytal, antimycin A and cyanide, inhibited oxidation of NADH in state 3 but rotenone and amytal did not inhibit oxidation in state 4. The inhibition by antimycin A was partially overcome by the presence of cytochrome c. The results indicate the presence of alternative pathways available for NADH oxidation depending on the metabolic condition of the mitochondria. Under state 4 conditions, NADH oxidation bypasses the amytal and rotenone sensitive sites but under state 3 conditions a component of the NADH respiration appears to be oxidized by an internal pathway which is sensitive to these inhibitors. Still a third pathway for NADH oxidation is dependent on the addition of cytochrome c and is insensitive to antimycin A. Succinate oxidation was sensitive to cyanide and antimycin A under both state 4 and state 3 conditions as well as amytal and rotenone under state 3 conditions but was not inhibited by amytal and rotenone under state 4 conditions. Malate oxidation was inhibited by cyanide, rotenone and amytal under both state 4 and state 3 conditions. Antimycin A inhibited state 3 but did not appreciably alter state 4 rates of malate oxidation. With all substrates tested inhibition by antimycin A was greatly facilitated by preswelling the mitochondria for 10 min. This was interpreted to indicate that swelling increases the accessibility of antimycin A to the site of inhibition.  相似文献

Potato tuber mitochondria oxidized exogenous NADH and exogenous NADPH at similar rates; the electron transfer inhibitor rotenone did not inhibit the oxidation of either substrate. Submitochondrial particles, prepared from potato tuber mitochondria, exhibited a greater capacity to oxidize NADH than NADPH; rotenone inhibited the oxidation of NADH by 29% and the oxidation of NADPH by 16%. The oxidation of both NADH and NADPH by potato mitochondria exhibited pH optima of 6.8, and although substantial NADH oxidase activity was observed at pH 8.0, little NADPH oxidase activity was detected at that pH. The oxidation of NADPH by the mitochondria was more sensitive to inhibition by EDTA than was the oxidation of NADH.  相似文献

After preparation on self-generated Percoll gradients, avocado (Persea americana Mill, var. Fuerte and Hass) mitochondria retain a high proportion of cyanide-insensitive respiration, especially with α-ketoglutarate and malate as substrates. Whereas α-ketoglutarate oxidation remains unchanged, the rate of malate oxidation increases as ripening advances through the climacteric. An enhancement of mitochondrial malic enzyme activity, measured by the accumulation of pyruvate, closely parallels the increase of malate oxidation. The capacity for cyanide-insensitive respiration is also considerably enhanced while respiratory control decreases (from 3.3 to 1.7), leading to high state 4 rates.

Both malate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme are functional in state 3, but malic enzyme appears to predominate before the addition of ADP and after its depletion. In the presence of cyanide, a membrane potential is generated when the alterntive pathway is operating. Cyanide-insensitive malate oxidation can be either coupled to the first phosphorylation site, sensitive to rotenone, or by-pass this site. In the absence of phosphate acceptor, malate oxidation is mainly carried out via malic enzyme and the alternative pathway. Experimental modification of the external mitochondrial environment in vitro (pH, NAD+, glutamade) results in changes in malate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme activities, which also modify cyanide resistance. It appears that a functional connection exists between malic enzyme and the alternative pathway via a rotenone-insensitive NADH dehydrogenase and that this pathway is responsible, in part, for nonphosphorylating respiratory activity during the climacteric.

Bean plants ( Phaseolus vulgaris ) were grown for 16–20 days with or without phosphate in Knop nutrient medium. It was found in previous experiments that for roots grown on a Pi-deficient medium respiration is mainly carried out by the cyanide-insensitive pathway. Mitochondria isolated from—Pi, roots had poor respiratory control and their respiration exhibited 62% inhibition by cyanide and was inhibited (30%) by salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM). In contrast, mitochondria obtained with control (+Pi) roots had respiratory control and ADP/O ratios typical for succinate as the substrate; their respiration was inhibited to 95% by cyanide and insensitive to SHAM. The integrity of mitochondrial membranes was similar in both types of mitochondria. Cytochrome oxidase activity, however, was about 20% lower in -Pi mitochondria, but the cytochrome composition was the same in both types of mitochondria. The cytochrorae pathway was not operating at full capacity in mitochondria isolated from—Pi roots but the alternative oxidation pathway participated in a great part in mitochondrial respiration, similar to in vivo whole roots. The participation of the non-phosphorylating., alternative pathway decreased the respiratory control ratio in mitochondria and had an effect on the total adenine nucleotide pool and energy charge values which were lower (16 and 13% respectively) in -Pi roots. About 50% lower ADP and 20% lower ATP levels were observed whereas AMP levels were several times higher.  相似文献

External NADH and succinate were oxidized at similar rates by soybean (Glycine max) cotyledon and leaf mitochondria when the cytochrome chain was operating, but the rate of NADH oxidation via the alternative oxidase was only half that of succinate. However, measurements of the redox poise of the endogenous quinone pool and reduction of added quinones revealed that external NADH reduced them to the same, or greater, extent than did succinate. A kinetic analysis of the relationship between alternative oxidase activity and the redox state of ubiquinone indicated that the degree of ubiquinone reduction during external NADH oxidation was sufficient to fully engage the alternative oxidase. Measurements of NADH oxidation in the presence of succinate showed that the two substrates competed for cytochrome chain activity but not for alternative oxidase activity. Both reduced Q-1 and duroquinone were readily oxidized by the cytochrome oxidase pathway but only slowly by the alternative oxidase pathway in soybean mitochondria. In mitochondria isolated from the thermogenic spadix of Philodendron selloum, on the other hand, quinol oxidation via the alternative oxidase was relatively rapid; in these mitochondria, external NADH was also oxidized readily by the alternative oxidase. Antibodies raised against alternative oxidase proteins from Sauromatum guttatum cross-reacted with proteins of similar molecular size from soybean mitochondria, indicating similarities between the two alternative oxidases. However, it appears that the organization of the respiratory chain in soybean is different, and we suggest that some segregation of electron transport chain components may exist in mitochondria from nonthermogenic plant tissues.  相似文献

Effects of multiple substrates on oxygen uptake and superoxide production by mitochondria isolated from the pericarp tissue of green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) were studied. Mitochondria isolated from peppers stored at 4 °C for 5 and 6 days had higher rates of oxygen uptake and were less sensitive to cyanide than mitochondria isolated from freshly harvested peppers. Succinate enhanced state 2 and state 4 rates of oxygen uptake with exogenous NADH in the absence of cytochrome path inhibitors, but not state 3 rates by mitochondria isolated from either freshly harvested or cold-stored bell peppers. The sensitivity of NADH oxidation to cyanide was reduced by both malate and succinate in mitochondria from cold-stored bell peppers, whereas only succinate was effective in mitochondria from freshly harvested peppers.Mitochondria isolated from both freshly harvested peppers and those stored at 4 °C for 5 and 6 days produced superoxide in the absence of exogenous substrates. Superoxide production by mitochondria from freshly harvested bell peppers increased when the mitochondria were supplied with malate, succinate or NADH, but only NADH enhanced superoxide production by mitochondria from cold-stored peppers. Both succinate and malate reduced the production of superoxide by mitochondria isolated from cold-stored bell peppers. Succinate and malate as second substrates also reduced the production of superoxide with NADH by mitochondria from both freshly harvested and cold-stored bell peppers. Malonate, a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase, was inhibitory to oxygen uptake and to superoxide production.Mitochondria isolated from cold-stored bell peppers converted succinate to pyruvate at 25 °C at considerably higher rates than those of mitochondria from freshly harvested bell peppers. Since pyruvate has been shown to activate the alternative oxidase and the presence of pyruvate is essential for continued alternative oxidase activity, we suggest that pyruvate limits superoxide production by enhancing the flow of electrons through the alternative path. A direct scavenging of superoxide by succinate, malate and pyruvate, however, cannot be ruled out.  相似文献

Influence of growth temperature on the capacity of the mitochondrial alternative pathway of electron transport was investigated using etiolated corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings. These seedlings were grown to comparable size in either a warm (30°C) or a cold (13°C) temperature regime, and then their respiration rates were measured as O2 uptake at 25°C. The capacity of the alternative pathway (KCN-insensitive O2 uptake) was found essentially to double in shoots of cold-grown seedlings. This increased capacity slowly developed over several days growth in the cold, but was lost within 1 day when the seedlings were exposed to a warm regime. When mitochondria were isolated from the shoots of these seedlings, a greater potential for flow through the alternative path was observed in mitochondria from the cold-grown seedlings with all substrates used (an average increase of 84%). Using exogenous NADH as the substrate, the effect of the electrochemical gradient on measurable capacities of the cytochrome and alternative pathways was investigated in mitochondria from both etiolated seedlings and thermogenic spadices. The uncoupler FCCP (p-trifluoromethoxycarbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone) was used to diminish the electrochemical gradient when desired. In corn (Zea mays L.) shoot and mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) hypocotyl mitochondria, which have relatively low capacities of the alternative pathway, increased flow through the cytochrome chain in the absence of the electrochemical gradient was found not to influence the potential for flow through the alternative path. However, in mitochondria from skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus L.) and voodoo lily (Sauromatum guttatum Schott) spadices, which have high capacities of the alternative pathway, increased flow through the cytochrome chain in the absence of the gradient occurred at the expense of flow through the alternative pathway. These results suggest that in mitochondria of thermogenic spadices, the combined capacities of the cytochrome and alternative paths exceed the capacity of the exogenous NADH dehydrogenase. The effect of assay pH on measurable capacities of the cytochrome and alternative paths was determined over a pH range of 5.6 to 8.8 using exogenous NADH as the mitochondrial substrate. When the electrochemical gradient was present, it limited the electron transport rate and little effect of assay pH was observed. However, when formation of the gradient was prevented through inclusion of FCCP, measurable capacities of the cytochrome and alternative paths were found to be greatly influenced by pH. This experiment also revealed that the potential for respiratory control is largely dependent upon the assay pH.  相似文献

Salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), an alternative oxidase inhibitor of plant mitochondria, enhances the NADH-oxidase activity in mitochondrial and chloroplast suspensions obtained from pea roots or leaves, respectively. This reaction is inhibited by the washing of mitochondria or chloroplasts and is observed in supernatants after the removal of the organelles by centrifugation. The reaction is sensitive to CN and to antioxidant propyl gallate. The NADH oxidation is also enhanced by 2,4-dichlorophenol or phenol, but not salicylic acid. The acceleration of NADH oxidation by phenolic compounds is observed with presence of commercial horseradish peroxidase and is connected with the involvement of these compounds in NADH-dependent peroxidase reaction. SHAM and 2,4-dichlorophenol significantly enhance the destruction of nuclei in guard cells of pea leaf epidermis caused by the generation of reactive oxygen species during the oxidation of exogenous NADH by apoplastic peroxidase.  相似文献

Like mitochondria, plasma membranes of the free-living bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans are able to produce superoxide ions. The production of superoxide ions was observed during the initial stages of electron transfer from the respiratory substrates to oxygen, even when the bacteria had been grown anaerobically on nitrate as oxidant. Generation of Superoxide anions was supported by NADH or succinate and occurred before the antimycin-sensitive site of the respiratory chain, presumably at the level of a low potential redox component. Superoxide anion formation was pH and substrate dependent; it was inhibited by cyanide and by exogenous superoxide dismutase.  相似文献

Capacity of alternative pathway mediated, CN-resistant respirationwas measured in mitochondria isolated from three plant species:Iris bulbs, potato tuber callus and Petunia cells, grown insuspension culture. Succinate, NADH or a combination of succinateand NADH were used as respiratory substrates. In all three plantspecies electrons from exogenous NADH appeared to have no accessto the alternative pathway connected with succinate mediatedrespiration and vice versa. Therefore, besides a (functional)compartmentation of Q-pools a compartmentation of alternativepathways in plant mitochondria is proposed as well.

The respiration of mitochondria isolated from germinating soybean cotyledons was strongly resistant to antimycin and KCN. This oxygen uptake was not related to lipoxygenase which was not detectable in purified mitochondria. The antimycin-resistant rate of O2 uptake was greatest with succinate as substrate and least with exogenous NADH. Succinate was the only single substrate whose oxidation was inhibited by salicyl hydroxamic acid alone, indicating engagement of the alternative oxidase. Concurrent oxidation of two or three substrates led to greater involvement of the alternative oxidase. Despite substantial rotenone-resistant O2 uptake with NAD-linked substrates, respiratory control was observed in the presence of antimycin, indicating restriction of electron flow through complex I. Addition of succinate to mitochondria oxidizing NAD-linked substrates in state four stimulated O2 uptake substantially, largely by engaging the alternative oxidase. We suggest that these properties of soybean cotyledon mitochondria would enable succinate received from the glyoxysome during lipid metabolism to be rapidly oxidized, even under a high cytosolic energy charge.  相似文献

In the presence of exogenous NAD+, malate oxidation by cauliflower mitochondria takes place essentially via an electron transport pathway that is insensitive to rotenone, antimycin and cyanide but is strongly sensitive to salicyl hydroxamic acid. It bypasses all phosphorylation sites. NAD+ is reduced by an enzyme identified as malic enzyme (L-malate:NAD oxidoreductase (decarboxylating), EC 1.1.1.39). The NADH produced is reoxidized by an internal rotenone-insensitive NADH dehydrogenase that yields electrons directly to the cyanide-insensitive pathway.  相似文献

Alternative oxidase activity in potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L. cv Bintje) callus mitochondria with exogenous NAD(P)H as substrate is inhibited by low concentrations of the detergent Triton X-100. Alternative oxidase activity with succinate or malate as substrate is not affected by these low concentrations of Triton X-100. Cytochrome pathway activity was not influenced under these conditions, neither with endogenous nor with exogenous substrate. Washing of Triton X-100-treated mitochondria did partially restore both uninhibited and CN-resistant NADH oxidation, indicating that under these conditions Triton X-100 does not permanently remove major components from the mitochondrial membrane. Apparently, it is possible to manipulate mitochondria in such a way that the access of exogenous NADH to the alternative pathway is blocked while access to the cytochrome pathway is uninhibited. It is suggested that membrane conditions have a regulatory function (possibly via influencing the diffusion path) in the oxidation of exogenous NADH via the alternative pathway.  相似文献

Plant mitochondria differ from those of mammals, since they incorporate an alternative electron transport pathway, which branches at ubiquinol to an alternative oxidase (AOX), characteristically inhibited by salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM). Another feature of plant mitochondria is that besides complex I (EC 1.6.5.3) they possess alternative NAD(P)H-dehydrogenases insensitive to rotenone. Many stress conditions are known to alter the expression of the alternative electron transport pathway in plant mitochondria. In the present study we investigated the effects of some thiol reagents and Ca(2+) on potato mitochondrial respiratory chain presenting different activities of the alternative respiratory components AOX and external NADH dehydrogenase, a condition induced by previous treatment of potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Bintje) to cold stress. The results showed that Ca(2+) presented an inhibitory effect on AOX pathway in potato mitochondria energized with NADH or succinate, which was only now observed when the cytochrome pathway was inhibited by cyanide. When the cytochrome pathway was functional, Ca(2+) stimulated the external NADH dehydrogenase. Diamide was a potent AOX inhibitor and this effect was only now observed when the cytochrome pathway was inactive, as was the case for the calcium ion. Mersalyl inhibited the externally located NADH dehydrogenase and had no effect on AOX activity. The results may represent an important function of Ca(2+) on the alternative mitochondrial enzymes NADH-DH(ext) and AOX.  相似文献

A procedure was developed to obtain intact and purified mitochondria from mesophyll and bundle sheath tissues of Zea mays L. cv. I.N.R.A. 180, an NADP+-malic enzyme type C4 plant. There was little cross-contamination between the two mitochondrial fractions.
Both types of mitochondria oxidized NADH, succinate and malate with respiratory control. In mesophyll mitochondria malate oxidation was highly sensitive to KCN (85–90% inhibition of first state 3) and showed good respiratory control. In bundle sheath mitochondria malate oxidation was less sensitive to cyanide (75-80% inhibition) and showed poor respiratory control. Malate and NADH appeared to be the best substrates for respiratory activity. Mesophyil mitochondria could not oxidize glycine, whereas bundle sheath mitochondria could.
The results indicate that mesophyll and bundle sheath mitochondria of Zea mays are differentiated, not only with respect to the decarboxylation of malate but also with respect to the decarboxylation phase of photorespiration.  相似文献

Treatment of barley (Hordeum vulgare) seedlings with 400 millimolar NaCl for 3 days resulted in a reduction in plant growth and an increase in the leaf content in ions (K+ + Na+) and proline. Purified mitochondria were successfully isolated from barley leaves. Good oxidative and phosphorylative properties were observed with malate as substrate. Malate-dependent electron transport was found to be only partly inhibited by cyanide, the remaining oxygen uptake being SHAM sensitive. The properties of mitochondria from NaCl-treated barley were modified. The efficiency of phosphorylation was diminished with only a slight decrease in the oxidation rates. In both isolated mitochondria and whole leaf tissue of treated plants, the lower respiration rate was due to a lower cytochrome pathway activity. In mitochondria, the activity of the alternative pathway was not modified by salt treatment, whereas this activity was increased in whole leaf tissue. The possible participation of the alternative pathway in response to salt stress will be discussed.  相似文献

A fast and reproducible procedure was elaborated for isolation of tightly coupled mitochondria from wild type and nap mutant Neurospora crassa cells harvested at different growth stages. The isolated mitochondrial preparations had controlled metabolic states and were tightly coupled, i.e., displayed good respiratory control and had close to the theoretically expected maximal ADP/O ratios upon oxidation of Krebs cycle intermediates and exogenous NADH. They contained the fully competent respiratory chain with all three points of energy conservation. Oxidation of all examined substrates by mitochondria from both wild type and mutant cells was mediated by two alternative terminal oxidative systems, albeit to varying extent, with the more pronounced engagement of the alternative oxidase in the stationary growth phase and with a minor contribution of this non-phosphorylating pathway in the substrate oxidation by mutant mitochondria. Oxidation of NAD-dependent substrates by mitochondria from the two cell types was accommodated via both rotenone-sensitive and rotenone-insensitive pathways, while the level of rotenone-insensitive pathway in mutant cells was lower than in wild type cells. It is suggested that a more limited contribution of alternative non-phosphorylating oxidative pathways to the total respiration in mutant cells, as compared with wild type cells, could, at least partially, explain an elevated ATP level in these cells. However, the absence of principal differences in the arrangement of the respiratory chain in mitochondria of wild type and mutant cells implies that the elevated ATP level in the nap mutant is largely related to reduced ATP expenses for transport processes in these cells.  相似文献
