FIGURE 21.21 A model for the electron transport pathway in the mitochondrial inner membrane. UQ/UQH9 and cytochrome e are mobile electron carriers and function by transferring electrons between the complexes. The proton transport driven by Complexes I, III, and IV is indicated. [Pg.692]

Mitochondria have their own DNA (mtDNA) and genetic continuity. This DNA only encodes 13 peptide subunits synthesized in the matrix that are components of complexes I, III, IV, and V of the respiratory chain. Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes and imported by specific mechanisms to their specific locations in the mitochondrion (see below). [Pg.111]

Note Most data collected by Capaldi (1982). Some of the nuclear-coded peptides of complexes I, III, and IV have isoforms which may differ from different tissues. [Pg.119]

Complexes III and IV have Fe-porphyrin prosthetic groups (hemes), complex IV also contains copper atoms which are involved in electron transport. Complexes I, III, and IV use the energy of electron transport to pump protons out of the matrix so as to maintain a pH gradient and an electrical potential difference across the inner membrane required for ATP synthesis (see below and Appendix 3). It is important to remember that all dehydrogenations of metabolic substrates remove two protons as well as two electrons and that a corresponding number of protons are consumed in the final reduction of dioxygen (Figures 5, 6). [Pg.124]

Mitochondria are unique organelles in that they contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which, in addition to ribosomal RN A (rRNA) and transfer RN A (tRNA)-coding sequences, also encodes 13 polypeptides which are components of complexes I, III, IV, and V (Anderson et al., 1981). This fact has important implications for both the genetics and the etiology of the respiratory chain disorders. Since mtDNA is maternally-inherited, a defect of a respiratory complex due to a mtDNA deletion would be expected to show a pattern of maternal transmission. However the situation is complicated by the fact that the majority of the polypeptide subunits of complexes I, III, IV, and V, and all subunits of complex II, are encoded by nuclear DNA. A defect in a nuclear-coded subunit of one of the respiratory complexes would be expected to show classic Mendelian inheritance. A further complication exists in that it is now established that some respiratory chain disorders result from defects of communication between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes (Zeviani et al., 1989). Since many mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and require a sophisticated system of posttranslational processing for transport and assembly, it is apparent that a diversity of genetic errors is to be expected. [Pg.308]

Each of the respiratory chain complexes I, III, and IV (Figures 12-7 and 12-8) acts as a proton pump. The inner membrane is impermeable to ions in general but particularly to protons, which accumulate outside the membrane, creating an electrochemical potential difference across the membrane (A iH )-This consists of a chemical potential (difference in pH) and an electrical potential. [Pg.96]

Figure 12-8. Principles of the chemiosmotic theory of oxidative phosphorylation.

Colquhoun and Schumacher [98] have shown that y-linolcnic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, which inhibit Walker tumor growth in vivo, decreased proliferation and apoptotic index in these cells. Development of apoptosis was characterized by the enhancement of the formation of reactive oxygen species and products of lipid peroxidation and was accompanied by a decrease in the activities of mitochondrial complexes I, III, and IV, and the release of cytochrome c and caspase 3-like activation of DNA fragmentation. Earlier, a similar apoptotic mechanism of antitumor activity has been shown for the flavonoid quercetin [99], Kamp et al. [100] suggested that the asbestos-induced apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells was mediated by iron-derived oxygen species, although authors did not hypothesize about the nature of these species (hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide, or iron complexes ). [Pg.756]

The first condition is met by having a series of four protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane, each made up of a number of electron (and sometimes proton) acceptors of increasing redox potential. Three of them (Complexes I, III and IV) are presented in cartoon form in Figure 5.17. Complex I, referred to more prosaically as... [Pg.98]

We now turn our attention to how the gradient of protons pumped by Complexes I, III and IV across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the intermembrane space, together with the associated membrane potential, is used to turn the molecular rotor that ensures... [Pg.99]

Proton transport via complexes I, III, and IV takes place vectorially from the matrix into the intermembrane space. When electrons are being transported through the respiratory chain, the concentration in this space increases—i. e., the pH value there is reduced by about one pH unit. For each H2O molecule formed, around 10 H ions are pumped into the intermembrane space. If the inner membrane is intact, then generally only ATP synthase (see p. 142) can allow protons to flow back into the matrix. This is the basis for the coupling of electron transport to ATP synthesis, which is important for regulation purposes (see p. 144). [Pg.140]

Figure 7-4. The electron transport chain. Electrons enter from NADH to complex I or succinate dehydrogenase, which is complex II. Electrons derived from glycolysis through the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, complex I, and complex II join at coenzyme Q and are transferred to oxygen as shown. As electrons pass through complexes I, III, and IV, protons are transported across the membrane, creating a pH gradient. Figure 7-4. The electron transport chain.

FIGURE 2 Electron carriers of the inner membrane of plant mitochondria. Electrons can flow through Complexes I, III, and IV, as in animal mitochondria, or through plant-specific alternative carriers by the paths shown with blue arrows. [Pg.706]

The flow of electrons through Complexes I, III, and IV results in pumping of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, making the matrix alkaline relative to the intermembrane space. This proton gradient provides the energy (in the form of the proton-motive force) for ATP synthesis from ADP and P by ATP synthase (F0Fi complex) in the inner membrane. [Pg.714]

Figure 18-5 A current concept of the electron transport chain of mitochondria. Complexes I, III, and IV pass electrons from NADH or NADPH to 02, one NADH or two electrons reducing one O to HzO. This electron transport is coupled to the transfer of about 12 H+ from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space. These protons flow back into the matrix through ATP synthase (V), four H+ driving the synthesis of one ATP. Succinate, fatty acyl-CoA molecules, and other substrates are oxidized via complex II and similar complexes that reduce ubiquinone Q, the reduced form QH2 carrying electrons to complex III. In some tissues of some organisms, glycerol phosphate is dehydrogenated by a complex that is accessible from the intermembrane space.

ATP is coupled to the electron transport to cytochrome c. Thus, we have experimental evidence that when one-electron carriers such as the cytochromes are involved, the passage of two electrons is required to synthesize one molecule of ATP. Furthermore, from experiments of this type it was concluded that the sites of phosphorylation were localized in or related to complexes I, III, and IV. [Pg.1036]

The location of ammonia monooxygenase (step a) is uncertain but hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (step b) is periplas-mic. The membrane components resemble complexes I, III, and IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (Fig. 18-5) and are assumed to have similar proton pumps. Solid green lines trace the flow of electrons in the energy-producing reactions. This includes flow of electrons to the ammonia monoxygenase. Complexes HI and IV pump protons out but complex I catalyzes reverse electron transport for a fraction of the electrons from hydroxylamine oxidoreductase to NAD+.

Approximately 2.5 molecules of ADP can be phosphorylated to ATP for each pair of electrons that traverse the electron-transport chain from NADH to 02. About 1.5 molecules of ATP are formed for a pair of electrons that enter the chain via succinate dehydrogenase or other flavoproteins such as glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Approximately one molecule of ATP is formed for each pair of electrons that enters via cytochrome c. Electron flow through each of complexes I, III, and IV thus is coupled to phosphorylation. [Pg.316]

By incorporating the purified electron-transport com- i plexes into phospholipid vesicles along with the mitochondrial ATP-synthase enzyme that is described below, Efraim Racker and his coworkers verified the capacity of the individual complexes I, III, and IV to support the formation of ATP. In figure 14.7, you can see that the flow... [Pg.317]

As electrons move through complexes I, III, and IV, protons are taken up from the matrix and released on the cytosolic side of the membrane. This raises the pH of the matrix and leaves the matrix negatively charged relative to the cytosol, creating an electrochemical potential difference that tends to pull protons from the cytosol back into the matrix. [Pg.327]

To form the relatively undissociated water, 2 protons per electron pair, transported through complex IV, are removed from the mitochondrial matrix. An additional 2 protons per electron pair transported are extruded from the matrix by complex IV. The total number of protons lost by the mitochondrial matrix through the action of complexes I, III, and IV is thus 8-10 per electron pair, depending on the authority cited. The reason protons are extruded across the inner mitochondrial membrane is 2-fold complex IV apparently acts as a true proton pump with specific protein(s) of that complex acting as the transport particle(s). Complexes I and III, on the other hand, are associated with the so-called vectoral proton translocation process those enzymatic reactions that release protons (e.g., reoxidation of UQH2) take place at or near the intermembrane space surface on the inner mitochondrial membrane. This allows protons to be discharged into the intermembrane space rather than into the mitochondrial matrix. Overall, the pH differential between the cytosol and the mitochondrial matrix is about 1, or a 10-fold difference in [H+] (alkaline inside). [Pg.450]

Several inherited disorders are associated with faulty operation of the electron transport pathway. ATP production is diminished in such cases. These disorders are known as mitochondrial myopathies, and they are associated with the absence of specific polypeptide chains found in complexes I, III, or IV. In many cases, the problem may be traced to specific lesions in mitochondrial DNA, which codes for at least 13 polypeptide chains found in these complexes. Myopathies are tissue specific some affect the heart, others the skeletal muscle. Many are accompanied by lactic acidosis, because the inability to reduce NADH normally results in its accumulation and the channeling of pyruvate toward lactic acid production. In complex I disorders, the oxidation of FADH2 is not impeded. In complex III lesions, neither NADH nor FADH2 can be oxidized. However, use has been made by B. Chance and colleagues of menadione (Chapter 6) and ascorbic acid in such cases. The former can oxidize UQH2, whereas ascorbate can oxidize menadione and reduce cytochrome c. Marked clinical improvement in affected patients follows such treatment. [Pg.450]

Inhibition of ATP synthase (energy transfer) reduces proton flow from the inter-membrane space to the matrix, which inhibits electron flow in the respiratory chain. Oligomycin, a macrolide antibiotic, prevents phosphoryl group transfer of ATP synthase. Dicyclohexylcarbodimide (DCCD) binds to and inhibits ATP synthase. Similar to the inhibitors of Complexes I, III, and IV, energy transfer inhibitors cause accumulation of reactive electrons and generate ROS. [Pg.331]
