Charge Heterogeneity

A protein with pore-forming activity has been isolated from the outer membrane of rat liver mitochondria. The purification involves sucrose gradient centrifugation, differential centrifugation in the presence of Triton X-100, and DEAE-Sepharose and CM-Sepharose chromatography. The yield of the purified protein was approx. 2% of the total outer membrane proteins. The protein, when inserted into soya bean phospholipid vesicles, increases the [3H]sucrose permeability of the vesicles but had no effect on the permeability of high-molecular-weight [14C]dextran (Mr 70 000). The protein is very active, since as little as 3-4 micrograms of protein per mg of phospholipid is required for the complete release of [3H]sucrose from the vesicles. Sucrose diffusion channels could not be reconstituted with other membrane proteins such as rat liver cytochrome oxidase or cytochrome b5. Purified pore protein revealed a single band of apparent Mr 30000 when resolved by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. This polypeptide could be further resolved by isoelectric focusing into a major (pI7.9) and two relatively minor (pI7.6 and 7.2) components. Proteolytic mapping with V8 proteinase from Staphylococcus aureus suggests that these probably represent a single component showing charge heterogeneity. The reason for the charge heterogeneity is not known. The amino acid composition of the protein revealed 47.8% polar amino acids with a relatively high lysine content.

Mitochondrial Outer Membrane

Reductively [3H]methylated 3H mitochondrial-outer-membrane vesicles from rat liver and vesicles where monoamine oxidase has been derivatized irreversibly by [3H]-pargyline have been deliberately miscompartmentalized by heterologous transplantation into hepatoma (HTC) cells by poly(ethylene glycol)-mediated vesicle-cell fusion. Fluorescein-conjugated mitochondrial-outer-membrane vesicles have also been used to show that transplanted material is patched, capped and internalized. Reductively methylated outer-membrane proteins and monoamine oxidase are destroyed at the same rate (t1/2 24 h). Mitochondrial-outer-membrane proteins are not degraded at the same rate as HTC plasma-membrane proteins, endogenous cell protein, or endocytosed protein. Transplanted radiolabelled mitochondrial-outer-membrane proteins accumulate intracellularly in structures that are distinct from plasma membrane and lysosomes. However, when mitochondrial-outer-membrane vesicles derivatized with [14C]sucrose are transplanted, the acid-soluble degradation products accumulate in the lysosomal fraction. [14C]Sucrose-conjugated HTC cell plasma membrane accumulates in intracellular structures that are again distinct from plasma membrane and lysosomes. In contrast with the above observations, homologously transplanted mitochondrial-outer-membrane proteins from rat liver are destroyed in hepatocytes at rates that are remarkably similar (t1/2 60-70 h) to the rates in rat liver in vivo [Evans & Mayer (1982) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 107, 51-58].

The Stability

The mitochondrial outer membrane contains proteinaceous machineries for the import and assembly of proteins, including TOM (translocase of the outer membrane) and SAM (sorting and assembly machinery). It has been shown that the dimeric phospholipid cardiolipin is required for the stability of TOM and SAM complexes and thus for the efficient import and assembly of β-barrel proteins and some α-helical proteins of the outer membrane. Here, we report that mitochondria deficient in phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), the second non-bilayer-forming phospholipid, are impaired in the biogenesis of β-barrel proteins, but not of α-helical outer membrane proteins. The stability of TOM and SAM complexes is not disturbed by the lack of PE. By dissecting the import steps of β-barrel proteins, we show that an early import stage involving translocation through the TOM complex is affected. In PE-depleted mitochondria, the TOM complex binds precursor proteins with reduced efficiency. We conclude that PE is required for the proper function of the TOM complex.

Mitochondrial Motility

Transfer of mitochondria to daughter cells during yeast cell division is essential for viable progeny. The actin cytoskeleton is required for this process, potentially as a track to direct mitochondrial movement into the bud. Sedimentation assays reveal two different components required for mitochondria–actin interactions: (1) mitochondrial actin binding protein(s) (mABP), a peripheral mitochondrial outer membrane protein(s) with ATP-sensitive actin binding activity, and (2) a salt-inextractable, presumably integral, membrane protein(s) required for docking of mABP on the organelle. mABP activity is abolished by treatment of mitochondria with high salt. Addition of either the salt-extracted mitochondrial peripheral membrane proteins (SE), or a protein fraction with ATP-sensitive actin-binding activity isolated from SE, to salt-washed mitochondria restores this activity. mABP docking activity is saturable, resistant to high salt, and inhibited by pre-treatment of salt-washed mitochondria with papain. Two integral mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, Mmm1p (Burgess, S.M., M. Delannoy, and R.E. Jensen. 1994. J.Cell Biol. 126:1375–1391) and Mdm10p, (Sogo, L.F., and M.P. Yaffe. 1994. J.Cell Biol. 126:1361– 1373) are required for these actin–mitochondria interactions. Mitochondria isolated from an mmm1-1 temperature-sensitive mutant or from an mdm10 deletion mutant show no mABP activity and no mABP docking activity. Consistent with this, mitochondrial motility in vivo in mmm1-1 and mdm10Δ mutants appears to be actin independent. Depolymerization of F-actin using latrunculin-A results in loss of long-distance, linear movement and a fivefold decrease in the velocity of mitochondrial movement. Mitochondrial motility in mmm1-1 and mdm10Δ mutants is indistinguishable from that in latrunculin-A–treated wild-type cells. We propose that Mmm1p and Mdm10p are required for docking of mABP on the surface of yeast mitochondria and coupling the organelle to the actin cytoskeleton.

Precursor Proteins

The mitochondrial outer membrane contains translocase complexes for the import of precursor proteins. The translocase of the outer membrane complex functions as a general preprotein entry gate, whereas the sorting and assembly machinery complex mediates membrane insertion of β-barrel proteins of the outer membrane. Several α-helical outer membrane proteins are known to carry multiple transmembrane segments; however, only limited information is available on the biogenesis of these proteins. We report that mitochondria lacking the mitochondrial import protein 1 (Mim1) are impaired in the biogenesis of multispanning outer membrane proteins, whereas overexpression of Mim1 stimulates their import. The Mim1 complex cooperates with the receptor Tom70 in binding of precursor proteins and promotes their insertion and assembly into the outer membrane. We conclude that the Mim1 complex plays a central role in the import of α-helical outer membrane proteins with multiple transmembrane segments.
