Active growth of Aspergillus oryzae was observed when conidiawere inoculated into a medium containing antimycin A. Immediatelyafter adding antimycin A, to young mycelia germinated in itsabsence, growth stopped, but began again after several hours.This restored growth was antimycin A-insensitive. Percentagegermination was the same in the presence and absence of thisdrug. It seems that drug-resistant germination and growth donot result from selection of resistant cells but result frominduction of antimycin A-insensitive mitochondria in the wholepopulation. Endogenous respiration of cells germinated in theabsence of antimycin A was inhibited by this drug, whereas thatof cells grown in the presence of antimycin A was completelyinsensitive. Antimycin A-sensitivity of cellular respirationseems to determine the effect of this drug on mycelial growth.Mitochondria were isolated from mycelia grown in the presenceand absence of this drug. The difference in antimycin A-sensitivityin endogenous respiration was attributed to a difference inproperties of the mitochondrial respiratory systems.

Usual concentrations of antimycin A, rotenone and EDTA, individally or in combination, reduced aerobic growth rate and cell yield of Candida albicans to about half its normal level and to about the levels of previously-described acetate-negative, cytochrome-complete and aa 3-deficient variants which were little affected by the inhibitors. Anaerobic conditions (not affected by antimycin A) reduced growth rate and cell yield of all cultures-including that of a nonrespiring aa 3, b-deficient mutant-to low, equal levels. Antimycin A but not rotenone prevented growth of the normal strain on ethanol medium. Cyanide and antimycin A blocked most of the respiration of the normal strain and cytochrome-complete variant, but did not affect that of the cytochrome aa 3-deficient mutant. Rotenone and EDTA did not affect respiration of any of the cultures. SHAM blocked cyanide- and antimycin A-insensitive respiration and prolonged the lag phases of the three respiring cultures, especially in the presence of antimycin A, but alone increased oxygen-uptake rate of the cytochromecomplete cultures while curtailing that of the cytochrome aa 3-deficient mutant. Resting cells, especially wild-type, grown in medium containing antimycin A exhibited lowered oxygen-uptake rate, which was increased upon the addition of cyanide or antimycin A. Antimycin A stimulated, but cyanide inhibited, respiration of cytochrome-complete cultures grown in the presence of rotenone but did not affect that of the cytochrome aa 3-deficient mutant. SHAM inhibited respiration of all antimycin A- or rotenone-grown cultures. The high rate of respiration of C. albicans in the presence of inhibitors for three sites of electron transport in the conventional oxidative pathway, the inhibition of this respiration by SHAM and its loss by the absence of cytochrome b, indicate an alternate oxidative pathway in this organism which crosses the conventional one at cytochrome b.This work was supported by Public Health Service Graduate Dental Training Grant DE 00144 and the Graduate School and the Department of Microbiology, Southern Illinois University. 相似文献

Antimycin A-dependent induction of cyanide-resistant respiration in Hansenula anomala was completely blocked by o-phenanthroline, alpha,alpha'-dipyridyl, or 8-hydroxyquinoline. Pulse-labeling of the cells with [35S]methionine in the presence of both antimycin A and o-phenanthroline indicated that the 36-kDa protein previously reported to be involved in cyanide-resistant respiration [(1989) J. Biochem. 105, 864-866] was formed in mitochondria even under these conditions. The addition of Fe2+, but not Fe3+, ions to these cells in the presence of cycloheximide resulted in the rapid expression of cyanide-resistant respiration activity. These results suggest that in the presence of both antimycin A and o-phenanthroline an inactive form of the 36-kDa protein was formed and Fe2+ ions converted it to the active form. It is also likely that Fe2+ ions are involved in the reaction mechanism of cyanide-resistant respiration. 相似文献

Antimycin A-dependent induction of cyanide-resistant respiration in Hansenula anomala was reversibly blocked by carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). When the cells were pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine in the presence of both antimycin A and CCCP, the radioactivity was incorporated into a 39 kDa mitochondrial protein. Upon removal of CCCP, this protein was processed into a 36 kDa form. The increase in the 36 kDa protein completely paralleled that in cyanide-resistant respiration activity, suggesting that the 39 kDa protein is the precursor of the 36 kDa protein, which is responsible for cyanide-resistant respiration. 相似文献

Oxygen uptake by the carotenoid-containing yeast, Rhodotorula glutinis was not affected by concentrations of cyanide and antimycin A which completely inhibit the respiration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The tolerance of R. glutinis to these inhibitors was somewhat dependent on the age of the cultures. Reduced minus aerated difference spectra of cells revealed spectral changes presumably due to cytochromes and carotenoids. The kinetics of these spectral changes induced by oxygen were followed. Carotenoid deficient cells were prepared by growth in the presence of diphenylamine. Difference spectra of these cells revealed the presence of flavoprotein, and a, b, and c type cytochromes. Growth of R. glutinis was completely inhibited by concentrations of cyanide which did not affect respiration. Oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide by sub-cellular fractions was sensitive to cyanide and antimycin A. Although respiration of intact cells is tolerant to these inhibitors, studies with cell-free extracts suggest the presence of a cyanide and antimycin A-sensitive, cytochrome-linked, respiratory chain. 相似文献

Mitochondria exhibiting cyanide-resistant respiration were isolated from Hansenula anomala which had been incubated in the presence of antimycin A to induce cyanide-resistant respiration. The cyanide-resistant respiration in isolated mitochondria was not inhibited by antimycin A or myxothiazol, suggesting that the branching of the pathway from the normal cyanide-sensitive pathway takes place at the coenzyme Q level. Analysis of mitochondrial proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis indicated that a 36 kDa protein was induced by antimycin A treatment of the yeast. It is suggested that this protein is a component of the cyanide-resistant respiratory pathway. 相似文献

Sporobolomyces ruberrimus is insensitive to antimycin A which is a respiratory inhibitor of the cytochrome system, as cyanide is. When this red yeast was cultured in the presence of antimycin A, the growth curve showed the same pattern as that of the normal culture in the absence of it, but the growth mass was only about 70% of that of the normal culture. The antimycin A-insensitive and cyanide-insensitive respiration of Sp. ruberrimus was inhibited by pyrocatechol and salicylhydroxamic acid. Sporobolomyces red yeasts have two characteristic terminal oxidase systems; one is a cytochrome oxidase system and the other is a cyanide- and antimycin A-insensitive oxidase system. The proportions of the two respiratory systems differed among the species and strains of Sporobolomyces red yeasts examined. 相似文献

The addition of antimycin A during the logarithmic phase of growth of heterotrophic Euglena gracilis cultures (in lactate or glucose medium) was immediately followed by decreased respiration and a cessation of grwoth. Induced cyanideresistent respiration appeared 5 h after the addition of the inhibitor then the cells started to grow again and could be cultured in the presence of antimycin A. Thus the cells exhibited a cyanide-and antimycin-resistant respiration which was, in addition, sensitive to salicylhydroxamic acid and propylgallate. Antimycin-adapted Euglena and control cells were compared for their biomass production and protein synthesis. The difference in growth yield between control and antimycin-adapted cells was not as high as would be expected if only the first phosphorylation site of the normal respiratory chain was active in the presence of antimycin A. Furthermore, the ability to incorporate labelled valine into proteins, under resting-cell conditions, was not changed. Strong correlations were established between the effects of respiratory effectors on O 2 consumption and valine incorporation. These results suggest that sufficient energy for protein synthesis and growth is provided by the operation of the cyanide-resistant respiratory pathway in antimycin-adapted Euglena.Abbreviations DNP

Candida albicans contains a cryptic cyanide and antimycin A insensitive respiratory system. This alternate oxidase was found (i) at all growth rates from =0.05 to 0.26 in a chemostat culture and (ii) in both mycelial and yeast forms of the organism. Neither chloramphenicol nor cycloheximide prevented the expression of the alternate oxidase. Salicyl-hydroxamic acid was a potent inhibitor of the cyanide insensitive respiration. The respiration of mitochondria grown in the presence of antimycin A was not inhibited by cyanide or antimycin A but was inhibited by salicylhydroxamic acid.Abbreviations KCN

Two brewer's yeasts and one baker's yeast grew with 95% (w/w) pure maltotriose as carbon source in the presence of antimycin A to block respiration. Biomass yields (0.15 and 0.24 g dry yeast g –1 sugar, respectively, with and without antimycin A) were similar for growth on maltose and maltotriose, and yields of ethanol were 80% of stoichiometric. Yeasts harvested during growth on glucose and containing low maltose transport activity did not begin to use maltotriose in the presence of antimycin A until after a long lag phase (up to 50 h), but yeast harvested during growth on maltose, and containing high maltose transport activity, began to use maltotriose after about 25 h. Much shorter lags were observed before growth started in the absence of antimycin A. 相似文献

The antimycin A or cyanide-dependent appearance of a 36 kDa protein in the particulate fraction was observed in L-[35S]methionine pulse-labeling experiments on cells of Hansenula anomala, in which cyanide-resistant respiration was induced. The combined addition of cycloheximide or anaerobiosis, which block the induction of cyanide-resistant respiration, repressed the synthesis of this protein. These results suggest the involvement of the particulate 36 kDa protein in cyanide-resistant respiration. 相似文献

Aerobic respiratory pathways have been delineated and respiratory efficiency has been assessed in mitochondria isolated from embryonated eggs, infective larvae, and adult Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and Ascaridia galli. Mitochondrial respiration in free-living stages of N. brasiliensis is mediated mainly by a mammalian-like antimycin A- and cyanide-sensitive pathway; specific respiratory activity is high and oxidative phosphorylation efficient. In mitochondria of adult N. brasiliensis, antimycin A- and cyanide-sensitive respiration is decreased relative to respiration though an alternative pathway, and specific respiratory activity and mitochondrial efficiency are lower. Respiration in mitochondria from embryonated eggs and tissues of adult A. galli is comparable, and apparently mediated by an antimycin A- and cyanide-insensitive alternative respiratory pathway; no evidence for the presence of a mammalian-like respiratory pathway in embryonated eggs of A. galli was found. The results of this study are compared to mitochondrial respiration in eggs, larvae, and adult body wall muscle of Ascaris suum. 相似文献

Cell respiration in wild type and poky was studied as part of a long-term investigation of cyanide-resistant respiration in Neurospora. Respiration in wild type proceeds via a cytochrome chain which is similar to that of higher organisms; it is sensitive to antimycin A or cyanide. Poky, on the other hand, respires by means of two alternative oxidase systems. One of these is analogous to the wild-type cytochrome chain in that it can be inhibited by antimycin A or cyanide; this system accounts for as much as 15% of the respiration of poky f(-) and 34% of the respiration of poky f(+). The second oxidase system is unaffected by antimycin A or cyanide at concentrations which inhibit the cytochrome chain maximally. It can, however, be specifically inhibited by salicyl hydroxamic acid. The cyanide-resistant oxidase is not exclusive to poky, but is also present in small quantities in wild type grown under ordinary circumstances. These quantities may be greatly increased (as much as 20-fold) by growing wild type in the presence of antimycin A, cyanide, or chloramphenicol. 相似文献

Dekkera intermedia and Brettanomyces custersii were shown to have a respiratory pathway resistant to cyanide, antimycin A, and azide. This respiration remained sensitive to salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM). The "cyanide-resistant" respiration was induced mainly at the end of the growth phase and could reach 50% of total respiratory capacity. The mitochondrial "petite colony" mutation had no effect on this oxidation pathway. The presence of this respiration pathway in these strains constitutes a compensation mechanism for the reducing activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. This alternate pathway would thus be a fundamental element of the Custer effect, a characteristic feature of these strains. 相似文献

The effect of antimycin A on the respiration of fresh potato ( Solanum tuberosum var. Russet Burbank) slices has been determined in the presence and absence of m-chlorobenzhydroxamic acid (CLAM). Two antimycin-binding sites are indicated. At low concentrations antimycin alone inhibits respiration only slightly. When CLAM and low antimycin are added together, respiration is sharply inhibited, as in response to cyanide. High antimycin alone is as inhibitory as cyanide. The branch point to the alternate path is intact in fresh slices, as is the hydroxamate-sensitive component. The full alternate path is inoperative, however, as indicated by the sensitivity to cyanide. The data suggest an alternate path loop which bypasses the high affinity antimycin site and returns electrons to the cytochrome path. Antimycin at high concentrations prevents articulation of the loop with the cytochrome path. The respiration of aged slices is not only markedly resistant to antimycin at high concentrations, but quite insensitive to CLAM in the presence of antimycin. A model is proposed which involves parallel paths within complex III of the cytochrome path, with one path bearing the high affinity, and the other the low affinity antimycin site. With slice aging the antimycin affinity of the latter site is even further reduced, providing a relatively antimycin-insensitive bypass to both the high affinity antimycin-sensitive cytochrome path, and the CLAM-sensitive alternate path. The alternate path loop in fresh slices is presumed to feed into the low affinity antimycin-sensitive arm of the cytochrome path. 相似文献

A class of mutants of Ustilago maydis selected on a fungitoxic oxathiin lack of antimycin A-tolerant respiratory system which is present in wild-type cells. This system provides, directly or indirectly, for considerable resistance to antimycin A because growth of mutant cells lacking the system is much more sensitive to the antibiotic than that of the wild type. Antimycin A-sensitive O(2) uptake and growth is found in half of the progeny from crosses of mutant to wild type. All antimycin A-sensitive segregants are somewhat more resistant to oxathiins than the antimycin A-resistant segregants. The respiration of the mutant is strongly inhibited by cyanide and azide at concentrations which stimulate respiration of the wild type. Respiration of both mutant and wild type is about equally inhibited by rotenone. It appears that the mutation alters some component of the respiratory system located between the rotenone inhibition site and the antimycin A inhibition site that permits shift of electron transport to an alternate terminal oxidase when the normal electron transport pathway is blocked. 相似文献

It has been shown that the induction of earlier described system of potassium-dependent transport of hydrogen ions in mitochondria at low pH values of the incubation medium is inhibited by the inhibitors of mitochondria respiratory chain and ATPase. It has been found that antimycin and oligomycin suppress the efflux of potassium ions from mitochondria in the presence of succinic acid. The uncoupler (FCCP) turns the effect of ATPase inhibitors to the efflux of potassium ions and acceleration of mitochondria respiration under experimental conditions. At the same time TMPD removes the effect of antimycin on potassium ion efflux from uncoupled FCCP of mitochondria. The data obtained are explained in terms of the postulate that under experimental conditions along with the system of potassium-dependent ion transport there appears leakage of protons through the ATPase channel. A conclusion is made concerning the control of ion transport induction in mitochondria by the enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation system. 相似文献

In the presence of cyanide and various respiratory substrates (succinate or pyruvate + malate) addition of high concentrations of lucigenin (400 microM; Luc2+) to rat liver mitochondria can induce a short-term flash of high amplitude lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence (LDCL). Under conditions of cytochrome oxidase inhibition by cyanide the lucigenin-induced cyanide-resistant respiration (with succinate as substrate) was not inhibited by uncouplers (FCCP) and oligomycin. Increase in transmembrane potential (Deltaphi) value by stimulating F0F1-ATPase functioning (induced by addition of MgATP to the incubation medium) caused potent stimulation of the rate of cyanide-resistant respiration. At high Deltaphi values (in the presence of MgATP) cyanide resistant respiration of mitochondria in the presence of succinate or malate with pyruvate was insensitive to tenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA) or rotenone, respectively. However, in both cases respiration was effectively inhibited by myxothiazol or antimycin A. Mechanisms responsible for induction of LDCL and cyanide resistant mitochondrial respiration differ. In contrast to cyanide-resistant respiration, generation of LDCL signal, that was suppressed only by combined addition of Complex III inhibitors, antimycin A and myxothiazol, is a strictly potential-dependent process. It is observed only under conditions of high Deltaphi value generated by F0F1-ATPase functioning. The data suggest lucigenin-induced intensive generation of superoxide anion in mitochondria. Based on results of inhibitor analysis of cyanide-resistant respiration and LDCL, a two-stage mechanism of autooxidizable lucigenin cation-radical (Luc*+) formation in the respiratory chain is proposed. The first stage involves two-electron Luc2+ reduction by Complexes I and II. The second stage includes one-electron oxidation of reduced lucigenin (Luc(2e)). Reactions of Luc(2e) oxidation involve coenzyme Q-binding sites of Complex III. This results in formation of autooxidizable Luc*+ and superoxide anion generation. A new scheme for lucigenin-dependent electron pathways is proposed. It includes formation of fully reduced form of lucigenin and two-electron-transferring shunts of the respiratory chain. Lucigenin-induced activation of superoxide anion formation in mitochondria is accompanied by increase in ion permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane. 相似文献

Glucose-supported O2 uptake in the filarial nematode Brugia pahangi was partially inhibited by antimycin A (30-40%), with the remaining activity being sensitive to o-hydroxydiphenyl or salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM). The production of CO2 by B. pahangi in the presence of D-glucose was stimulated by O2; the stimulation of CO2; the stimulation of CO2 production was sensitive to antimycin A. The O2 dependencies of respiration showed that the apparent O2 affinity for B. pahangi was diminished in the presence of antimycin A; O2 thresholds for inhibition of respiration were observed which showed that the alternative electron transport pathway was less sensitive to inhibition at elevated O2 concentrations. H2O2 production and its excretion could be detected in whole B. pahangi; higher rates were observed in the presence of the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. The effects of inhibitors on H2O2 production suggest two sites of H2O2 production, one associated with the classical antimycin A-sensitive pathway, the other with the alternative respiratory pathway. The similarity in the O2 dependencies of H2O2 production and respiration may indicate that H2O2 production is involved in O2-mediated toxicity. Succinate and malate respiring sub-mitochondrial particles of B. pahangi produced O2.- radicals at a site on the antimycin A-sensitive respiratory pathway. Inhibition of the alternative electron pathway by SHAM was unusual; sub-millimolar concentrations markedly stimulated respiration, H2O2 production and O2.- production by 30, 20 and 25%, respectively, whereas higher concentrations (greater than 2.5 mM) inhibited respiration by 75% and H2O2 and O2.- production by up to 85%. 相似文献

The effect of cyanide, antimycin A, ethanol, and acetate on the induction of alternative oxidase in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica VKM Y-155 was studied. The aerobic incubation of logarithmic-phase cells, whose respiration is sensitive to cyanide, in the presence of the aforementioned compounds led to the development of cyanide-resistant respiration, which could be suppressed by benzohydroxamic acid, an inhibitor of alternative oxidases. The incubation of cells with cyanide, ethanol, or acetate raised the intracellular pool of cAMP, which attained maximal values after a 2- to 3-min incubation period, then rapidly decreased to the initial value and did not change over the next three hours of incubation. The possible role of cAMP in the induction of alternative oxidase in yeast cells is discussed. 相似文献
