The influence of mitochondrial inhibitors, including oligomycin, antimycin and rotenone, on the iodide and oxygen uptake and the nucleotide content of incubated sheep thyroid slices was investigated. Each inhibitor strongly suppressed both iodide and oxygen uptake, and decreased the nucleoside triphosphate content of the slices. In most cases the addition of glucose or mitochondrial substrates restored iodide uptake in inhibitor-treated slices. Inhibitor concentrations sufficient to inhibit iodide uptake strongly had only slight effects on the thyroidal Na++K+-activated adenosine triphosphatase. It is concluded that the inhibitors produce their effects by the inhibition in vivo of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. ATP synthesis appears to be essential for iodide uptake to occur, and the high-energy intermediates (or energized state) of oxidative phosphorylation cannot be used to energize the uptake process. To a limited extent glycolytic ATP synthesis can support iodide uptake, which is therefore not exclusively dependent on aerobic metabolism. The mechanism of energy-linked iodide uptake is discussed.

Ca2+ has been postulated as a cytosolic second messenger in the regulation of cardiac oxidative phosphorylation. This hypothesis draws support from the well-known effects of Ca2+ on muscle activity, which is stimulated in parallel with the Ca2+-sensitive dehydrogenases (CaDH). The effects of Ca2+ on oxidative phosphorylation were further investigated in isolated porcine heart mitochondria at the level of metabolic driving force (NADH or Δψ) and ATP production rates (flow). The resulting force-flow (F-F) relationships permitted the analysis of Ca2+ effects on several putative control points within oxidative phosphorylation, simultaneously. The F-F relationships resulting from additions of carbon substrates alone provided a model of pure CaDH activation. Comparing this curve with variable Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) effects revealed an approximate twofold higher ATP production rate than could be explained by a simple increase in NADH or Δψ via CaDH activation. The half-maximal effect of Ca2+ at state 3 was 157 nM and was completely inhibited by ruthenium red (1 μM), indicating matrix dependence of the Ca2+ effect. Arsenate was used as a probe to differentiate between F0/F1-ATPase and adenylate translocase activity by a futile recycling of ADP-arsenate within the matrix, catalyzed by the F0/F1-ATPase. Ca2+increased the ADP arsenylation rate more than twofold, suggesting a direct effect on the F0/F1-ATPase. These results suggest that Ca2+ activates cardiac aerobic respiration at the level of both the CaDH and F0/F1-ATPase. This type of parallel control of both intermediary metabolism and ATP synthesis may provide a mechanism of altering ATP production rates with minimal changes in the high-energy intermediates as observed in vivo.

Mitochondria are recognized as signaling organelles because, under stress, mitochondria can trigger various signaling pathways to coordinate the cell's response. The specific pathway(s) engaged by mitochondria in response to mitochondrial energy defects in vivo and in high-energy tissues like the heart are not fully understood. Here, we investigated cardiac pathways activated in response to mitochondrial energy dysfunction by studying mice with cardiomyocyte-specific loss of the mitochondrial phosphate carrier (SLC25A3), an established model that develops cardiomyopathy as a result of defective mitochondrial ATP synthesis. Mitochondrial energy dysfunction induced a striking pattern of acylome remodeling, with significantly increased post-translational acetylation and malonylation. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics further revealed that energy dysfunction-induced remodeling of the acetylome and malonylome preferentially impacts mitochondrial proteins. Acetylation and malonylation modified a highly interconnected interactome of mitochondrial proteins, and both modifications were present on the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2). Intriguingly, IDH2 activity was enhanced in SLC25A3-deleted mitochondria, and further study of IDH2 sites targeted by both acetylation and malonylation revealed that these modifications can have site-specific and distinct functional effects. Finally, we uncovered a novel crosstalk between the two modifications, whereby mitochondrial energy dysfunction-induced acetylation of sirtuin 5 (SIRT5), inhibited its function. Because SIRT5 is a mitochondrial deacylase with demalonylase activity, this finding suggests that acetylation can modulate the malonylome. Together, our results position acylations as an arm of the mitochondrial response to energy dysfunction and suggest a mechanism by which focal disruption to the energy production machinery can have an expanded impact on global mitochondrial function.

Physiol. 83(3): 867–874, 1997.—The purpose of this study was to estimate the efficiency of ATP utilization for concentric, eccentric, and isometric muscle action in the human tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus in vivo. A dynamometer was used to quantitate muscle work, or tension, while simultaneous 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance data were collected to monitor ATP, phosphocreatine, inorganic phosphate, and pH. The relative efficiency of the actions was estimated in two ways: steady-state effects on high-energy phosphates and a direct comparison of ATP synthesis rates with work. In the steady state, the cytosolic free energy dropped to the lowest value with concentric activity, followed by eccentric and isometric action for comparative muscle tensions. Estimates of ATP synthesis rates revealed a mechanochemical efficiency [i.e., ATP production rate/work (both in J/s)] of 15.0 ± 1.3% in concentric and 34.7 ± 6.1% in eccentric activity. The estimated maximum ATP production rate was highest in concentric action, suggesting an activation of energy metabolism under these conditions. By using direct measures of metabolic strain and ATP turnover, these data demonstrate a decreasing metabolic efficiency in human muscle action from isometric, to eccentric, to concentric action.

SUMMARY This paper proposes a mechanism responsible for setting the sustainable level of muscle performance. Our contentions are that the sustainable work rate is determined (i) at the muscle level, (ii) by the ability to maintain ATP supply and (iii) by the products of glycolysis that may inhibit the signal for oxidative phosphorylation. We argue below that no single factor ‘limits’ sustainable performance, but rather that the flux through and the interaction between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation set the level of sustainable ATP supply. This argument is based on magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements of the sources and sinks for energy in vivo in human muscle and rattlesnake tailshaker muscle during sustained contractions. These measurements show that glycolysis provides between 20% (human muscle) and 40% (tailshaker muscle) of the ATP supply during sustained contractions in these muscles. We cite evidence showing that this high glycolytic flux does not reflect an O2 limitation or mitochondria operating at their capacity. Instead, this flux reflects a pathway independent of oxidative phosphorylation for ATP supply during aerobic exercise. The consequence of this high glycolytic flux is accumulation of H+, which we argue inhibits the rise in the signal activating oxidative phosphorylation, thereby restricting oxidative ATP supply to below the oxidative capacity. Thus, both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation play important roles in setting the highest steady-state ATP synthesis flux and thereby determine the sustainable level of work by exercising muscle.

Rats malnourished since birth and fed on a protein-free diet for 2 weeks showed a 23-27% decrease in the State-3 oxidation of glutamate, succinate and ascorbate + NNN′ N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine by liver mitochondria compared with control fed animals. ATP synthesis and the respiratory control index were diminished at the three coupling sites, but significant alterations were not observed in ADP/O ratios. Vmax. for NADH oxidation in electron-transport particles was 40% lower. Mitochondrial cytochromes b and c1 remained unchanged, but cytochrome c was increased by 26%. Cytochromes a + a3 were diminished by 22%. Vmax. for mitochondrial ATPase was 23% lower. These results suggest that the lower content of cytochrome a + a3 at the rate-controlling step of oxidative phosphorylation in malnourished rats might be mainly responsible for the decrease in substrate oxidations as well as ATP synthesis at the three coupling sites. The decreased synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP suggests that other energy-dependent mitochondrial processes could be decreased during malnutrition.

Dog Brain

The relationship between biochemical and physiological responses and tissue O2 during hypoxia was investigated in vivo in the dog brain by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Our findings demonstrate how ATP synthesis in the brain can be maintained during hypoxia because of compensatory changes in NADH, ADP, and Pi. Eleven beagle dogs were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated, and a steady-state graded hypoxia was induced by decreasing the fraction of inspired O2 (FIO2) stepwise at 20-min intervals. Biochemical metabolites were measured using 31P-NMR and fluorescence spectroscopy. When sagittal sinus O2 partial pressure (PVO2) had decreased to 15 Torr, NADH increased by 30%, Pi increased by 50%, and phosphocreatine (PCr) decreased by 20%. In contrast, ATP remained constant. There was a 10% increase in ADP in dogs that maintained a steady temperature, but ADP decreased by as much as 30% in dogs in which body temperature decreased with the falling PVO2. PCr/Pi was logarithmically related to the phosphorylation potential during steady-state hypoxia. Compensation for the O2 lack is attributed to increases in ADP, Pi, and NADH as a result of the reciprocal relationship of the Michaelis-Menten equation. If the Michaelis-Menten constants (Km) of ADP, Pi, and O2 are the same as determined in vitro in mitochondria, the minimum brain cytosolic O2 capable of maintaining a steady-state ATP is near its Km (0.1 Torr) at a PVO2 of 7.5 Torr. At this critical O2 level, PCr/Pi is 0.9, intracellular pH is 6.75, phosphorylation potential is 38.5 mM-1, and the calculated maximum velocity of ATP formation by oxidative phosphorylation is 55% of normal.

1. The ability of 4,6-dinitrocresol and eight other substituted phenols to stimulate oxygen uptake and inhibit phosphorylation by a cell-free particulate system from unfertilized Arbacia eggs has been determined. Five of those agents can produce both stimulation of oxygen consumption and inhibition of phosphorylation; one inhibits both oxygen consumption and phosphorylation; and two have no effect on either oxygen consumption or phosphorylation. In every case the effects of these substituted phenols upon the cell-free particulate systems parallel those upon oxygen consumption and cleavage in the intact fertilized Arbacia eggs. 2. The data suggest that energy for cleavage of the Arbacia egg is provided at least in part by oxidative phosphorylation and that substituted phenols may block cleavage by interfering with generation and transfer of high-energy phosphate groups.

Cytochrome c oxidase is the enzyme responsible for oxygen consumption by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and coupling site 3 of oxidative phosphorylation. In this role it determines the cellular rate of ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation and is the key to understanding how energy metabolism is regulated. Four electrons are required for the reduction of oxygen to water, and these are provided by the one-electron donor, cytochrome c. The rate of oxygen consumption (ATP synthesis) is dependent on the fraction of cytochrome c reduced (fred), oxygen pressure (pO2), energy state ([ATP]/[ADP][Pi]), and pH. In coupled mitochondria (high energy state) and pO2 >60 torr, the rate increases in an exponential-like fashion with increasing fred. When the dependence on fred is fitted to the equation rate = a(fred)b, a decreased from 100 to near 20, and b increased from 1.3 to 4 as the pH of the medium increased from 6.5 to 8.3. During oxygen depletion from the medium fred progressively increases and the rate of respiration decreases. The respiratory rate falls to ½ (P50) by about 1.5 torr, at which point fred is substantially increased. The metabolically relevant dependence on pO2 is obtained by correcting for the increase in fred, in which case the P50 is 12 torr. Adding an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation eliminates the dependence of the cytochrome c oxidase activity on pH and energy state. The respiratory rate becomes proportional to fred and the P50 decreases to less than 1 torr.

This study examines the hypothesis that high-energy phosphate (HEP) compound levels in unstimulated in vivo myocardium are defined by 1) the level of perfusion and 2) non-perfusion-dependent metabolic characteristics. This hypothesis was tested by determining 1) the effects of pharmacological hyperperfusion of functioning myocardium on transmural HEP compound distribution, contractile function, and myocardial oxygen consumption rate (MVO2) as well as 2) the effect of KCl cardioplegia on transmural myocardial HEP compound distribution. Creatine phosphate (CP) and ATP were measured across the anterior left ventricular wall using spatially localized 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). At baseline, the CP-to-ATP (CP/ATP) ratio was significantly lower in the subendocardium than in the subepicardium. This transmural HEP gradient was abolished by hyperperfusion without significant effects on contractile function or MVO2. Similarly, KCl arrest significantly increased CP and CP/ATP in all myocardial layers, and the transmural gradient of CP/ATP was abolished again. These studies indicate that in present experimental model 1) myocardial performance is not constrained by inadequate perfusion in any myocardial layer although modest oxygen limitation affects the kinetics of oxidative phosphorylation in the inner myocardial layers and 2) in all myocardial layers, submaximal activation of intermediary metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation reactions results in lower steady-state CP and higher ADP levels relative to their respective values when energy expenditure is markedly reduced by KCl arrest.
