1. The effect of thyroidectomy on turnover rates of liver, kidney and brain mitochondrial proteins was examined. 2. In the euthyroid state, liver and kidney mitochondria show a synchronous turnover with all protein components showing more or less identical half-lives compared with the whole mitochondria. The brain mitochondrial proteins show asynchronous turnover, the soluble proteins having shorter half-lives. 3. Mitochondrial DNA (m-DNA) of liver and kidney has half-lives comparable with that of whole mitochondria from these tissues. 4. Thyroidectomy results in increased half-lives of liver and kidney mitochondria, with no apparent change in the half-life of brain mitochondria. 5. A detailed investigation of the turnover rates of several protein components revealed a significant decrease in the turnover rates of mitochondrial insoluble proteins from the three tissues under study. 6. The turnover rates of m-DNA of liver and kidney show a parallel decrease. 7. Thus it is apparent that thyroid hormone(s) may have a regulatory role in maintaining the synchrony of turnover of liver and kidney mitochondria in the euthyroid state. Turnover of brain mitochondria may perhaps be regulated by some other factor(s) in addition to thyroid hormone(s). 8. It seems likely that during mitochondrial turnover m-DNA and insoluble proteins may constitute a major unit. 9. The mitochondrial protein contents of the three tissues are not affected by thyroidectomy. 10. No correlation was seen between the turnover rate of mitochondria and cathepsin activity in any of the tissues under study in normal or thyroidectomized animals. 11. On the other hand, mitochondrial proteinase activity shows good correlation with the turnover rates of mitochondria in normal animals, and a parallel decrease in activity comparable with the decreased rates of turnover is observed after thyroidectomy. 12. It is concluded that mitochondrial proteinase activity may play a significant role in their protein turnover.

1. δ-Aminolaevulate synthetase was detected in liver and kidney mitochondria prepared from normal rats. 2. The administration of allylisopropylacetamide induced an increase in δ-aminolaevulate synthetase in both liver and kidney mitochondria and the enzyme also appeared in the cytosol fraction of both tissues. Comparison with the distribution of glutamate dehydrogenase indicated that this soluble kidney δ-aminolaevulate synthetase was truly of cytosol origin and did not arise from disrupted mitochondria. The kidney cytosol enzyme was inhibited by 50% by 50μm-protohaem. 3. δ-Aminolaevulate synthetase could not be detected in mitochondria or cytosol from heart or brain from normal or porphyric rats. 4. The administration of allylisopropylacetamide caused little or no increase in ferrochelatase or cytochrome content of liver, kidney, heart or brain mitochondria.

Liver Changes

The effect of thyroid hormone on the turnover of mitochondrial DNA and protein was studied in rat heart and liver. Changes in turnover were observed in both thyroidectomized and normal rats following administration of thyroid hormone. In heart and liver the turnover of mitochondrial DNA and protein was slower in thyroidectomized rats than in normal rats. The turnover of mitochondrial DNA and protein was affected similarly following the administration of thyroid hormone, suggesting that mechanisms which control turnover of mitochondrial constituents may be predicated upon a major part of the mitochondrion. In heart a decreased rate of degradation contributes to the increase in total mitochondrial protein. Mitochondrial DNA, labeled before administration of thyroid hormone, turns over, after the start of thyroid hormone administration, at a different rate from that in newly synthesized DNA. The different turnover rates suggest that in liver the pre-existing population of mitochondria is being replaced by another population synthesized under new physiological conditions.

Adaptation to the extrauterine environment at birth relies upon the onset of postnatal function and increased metabolism in the lungs, liver and kidney, mediated partly by activation of mitochondrial proteins such as the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), cytochromecand, in the lung only, uncoupling protein (UCP)2. The magnitude of adaptation is dependent on the maternal metabolic and endocrine environment. We, therefore, examined the influence of maternal cold exposure (MCE) induced by winter shearing of pregnant sheep in conjunction with nutrient restriction (NR; 50% reduction in maternal food intake from 110 days gestation up to term). The effect of parity was also examined, as the offspring of nulliparous mothers are growth restricted compared with multiparous offspring. All sheep were twin bearing. One twin was sampled after birth and its sibling at 30 days. In the lung, both MCE and maternal nulliparity enhanced UCP2 abundance. However, whilst VDAC abundance was decreased in both the offspring of nulliparous mothers and by NR, it was transiently raised by MCE. Kidney VDAC abundance was reduced by MCE and nulliparity, adaptations only influenced by NR in multiparous mothers. Cytochromecabundance was raised by MCE and by NR in multiparous controls and raised in offspring of nulliparous mothers. Liver VDAC and cytochromecabundance were transiently reduced by MCE and persistently lower in offspring of nulliparous mothers. In conclusion, changes in the maternal metabolic environment have marked tissue-specific effects on mitochondrial protein abundance in the lungs, liver and kidney that may be important in enabling the newborn to effectively adapt to the extrauterine environment.

Gradient Coupling

Mitochondria adapt to different energetic demands reshaping their proteome. Mitochondrial proteases are emerging as key regulators of these adaptive processes. Here, we use a multi-proteomic approach to demonstrate regulation of the m-AAA protease AFG3L2 by the mitochondrial proton gradient, coupling mitochondrial protein turnover to the energetic status of mitochondria. We identify TMBIM5 (previously also known as GHITM or MICS1) as a Ca2+/H+ exchanger in the mitochondrial inner membrane, which binds to and inhibits the m-AAA protease. TMBIM5 ensures cell survival and respiration, allowing Ca2+ efflux from mitochondria and limiting mitochondrial hyperpolarization. Persistent hyperpolarization, however, triggers degradation of TMBIM5 and activation of the m-AAA protease. The m-AAA protease broadly remodels the mitochondrial proteome and mediates the proteolytic breakdown of respiratory complex I to confine ROS production and oxidative damage in hyperpolarized mitochondria. TMBIM5 thus integrates mitochondrial Ca2+ signaling and the energetic status of mitochondria with protein turnover rates to reshape the mitochondrial proteome and adjust the cellular metabolism.

AbstractThe majority of mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nuclear genome, so that the nearly entire proteome is assembled by post-translational preprotein import from the cytosol. Proteomic imbalances are sensed and induce cellular stress response pathways to restore proteostasis. Here, the mitochondrial presequence protease MPP serves as example to illustrate the critical role of mitochondrial protein biogenesis and proteostasis on cellular integrity.

Mitochondrial Ribosome

The most famous role of mitochondria is to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, a metabolic pathway that involves a chain of four protein complexes (the electron transport chain, ETC) that generates a proton-motive force that in turn drives the ATP synthesis by the Complex V (ATP synthase). An impressive number of more than 1000 mitochondrial proteins have been discovered. Since mitochondrial proteins have a dual genetic origin, it is predicted that ~99% of these proteins are nuclear-encoded and are synthesized in the cytoplasmatic compartment, being further imported through mitochondrial membrane transporters. The lasting 1% of mitochondrial proteins are encoded by the mitochondrial genome and synthesized by the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome). As a result, an appropriate regulation of mitochondrial protein synthesis is absolutely required to achieve and maintain normal mitochondrial function. Regarding miRNAs in mitochondria, it is well-recognized nowadays that several cellular mechanisms involving mitochondria are regulated by many genetic players that originate from either nuclear- or mitochondrial-encoded small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs). Growing evidence collected from whole genome and transcriptome sequencing highlight the role of distinct members of this class, from short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to miRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Some of the mechanisms that have been shown to be modulated are the expression of mitochondrial proteins itself, as well as the more complex coordination of mitochondrial structure and dynamics with its function. We devote particular attention to the role of mitochondrial miRNAs and to their role in the modulation of several molecular processes that could ultimately contribute to tissue regeneration accomplishment.

Protein homeostasis is an equilibrium of paramount importance that maintains cellular performance by preserving an efficient proteome. This equilibrium avoids the accumulation of potentially toxic proteins, which could lead to cellular stress and death. While the regulators of proteostasis are the machineries controlling protein production, folding and degradation, several other factors can influence this process. Here, we have considered two factors influencing protein turnover: the subcellular localization of a protein and its functional state. For this purpose, we used an imaging approach based on the pulse-labeling of 17 representative SNAP-tag constructs for measuring protein lifetimes. With this approach, we obtained precise measurements of protein turnover rates in several subcellular compartments. We also tested a selection of mutants modulating the function of three extensively studied proteins, the Ca2+ sensor calmodulin, the small GTPase Rab5a and the brain creatine kinase (CKB). Finally, we followed up on the increased lifetime observed for the constitutively active Rab5a (Q79L), and we found that its stabilization correlates with enlarged endosomes and increased interaction with membranes. Overall, our data reveal that both changes in protein localization and functional state are key modulators of protein turnover, and protein lifetime fluctuations can be considered to infer changes in cellular behavior.

General Protein

Administration of the anti-hypercholesterolaemic drug clofibrate to the rat increases the activity of carnitine acetyltransferase (acetyl-CoA-carnitine O-acetyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.7) in liver and kidney. The drug-mediated increase in enzyme activity in hepatic mitochondria shows a time lag during which the activity increases in the microsomal and peroxisomal fractions. The enzyme induced in the particulate fractions is identical with one normally present in mitochondria. The increase in enzyme activity is prevented by inhibitors of RNA and general protein synthesis. Mitochondrial protein-synthetic machinery does not appear to be involved in the process. Immunoprecipitation shows increased concentration of the enzyme protein in hepatic mitochondria isolated from drug-treated animals. In these animals, the rate of synthesis of the enzyme is increased 7-fold.
