Dev’t in ETC and Mit. Experiments Mitochondria were discovered in the late 19th century and

were described as a collection of granules forming threads inside the cell (Benda, 1898).

This view was confirmed by electron-microscopic observations of tissue, cultured cells and rat diaphragm muscle that revealed the existence of a mitochondrial network (mt-network), also known as mitochondrial reticulum

The central role of mitochondria in cellular energy production was demonstrated by the discovery of the respiratory chain and by the first investigations of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) (Chance and Williams, 1956; Mitchell, 1961).

Dev’t in ETC and Mit. Experiments Most bioenergetic studies were performed on isolated

mitochondria from rat liver or muscle that do not maintain network continuity after fractionation procedures.

By contrast, it has become clear that the mitochondrion exists in living human cells as a large tubular assembly, extending throughout the cytosol and in close contact with the nucleus, the endoplasmic reticulum the Golgi network and the cytoskeleton

Historically, bovine heart mitochondria have been the system of choice for the structural characterization of eukaryotic OXPHOS complexes, because they can be purified in relatively large quantities.

Experiments…continued The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is amenable to a

large variety of molecular genetic tools, has become the model organism to study the biogenesis of mitochondrial complexes and the effect of mutations on OXPHOS components.

By contrast, mitochondria of photosynthetic organisms have been poorly characterized.

Characterization of Arabidopsis mitochondrial components through proteomic approaches has advanced significantly

Subcellular fractionation, fluorescence microscopy, western blotting, spectrophotometric assays, centrifugation are some of methods being used to study mitochondria.

Introduction to ETC and OXPHOS Energy requirements of aerobic cells are met by oxidation of

carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, which yields reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2

The oxidation of NADH and FADH2 proceeds in a highly organized electron transport chain (ETC) mitochondrial system, which consists of complexes of proteins and coenzymes.

The ultimate electron acceptor is oxygen, which is converted to water.

The energy is conserved with the transport of electrons in the ETC as an electrochemical proton gradient, because protons (H+) are pumped out of the matrix to the intermembranal space.

The electrochemical proton gradient drives the conversion of ADP to ATP, when protons are channeled back into the matrix via ATP synthase.

Introduction…continuedMitochondria play a number of vital roles in the

eukaryotic cell, among which the most important one is the production of ATP during oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

The heavily folded inner membranes of mitochondria called cristae accommodate many copies of the respiratory chain components, or OXPHOS complexes (I–IV). Together with ATP synthase (complex V) they form the machinery for production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Page 9: Chala kenenisa(electron transport chain)

Introduction…continuedComplexes I–IV are multisubunit enzymes that

work in concert to create an electrochemical proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane that is used by the F1Fo ATP synthase (complex V) to produce ATP via oxidative phosphorylation, although complex II is not directly able to pump protons

NADH or succinate, generated during glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation and in the citric acid cycle, form the fuel for the respiratory chain.

Introduction…continued During catalysis, there is electron transfer between the

complexes mediated by two small components: lipid-soluble ubiquinone and water-soluble cytochrome c.

They diffuse between the respiratory complexes I and II, and III and IV, respectively, and the latter takes them to form water from molecular oxygen.

The oxidoreduction reactions mediated by complexes I, III, and IV are coupled with protons transfer from the matrix to the intermembrane space. The energy associated with the proton gradient is used for the production of ATP by complex V (ATP synthase) or dissipated by uncoupling proteins (UCP).

Introduction…continued Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation

(OXPHOS) systems are organized into five complexes: I, II, III, IV, and V.

Each complex consists of unique species of molecules that include flavoproteins with tightly bound FAD or FMN, coenzyme Q, cytochromes, iron–sulfur (Fe-S) proteins, and copper-bound proteins.

The five complexes are coupled and function in a dynamic manner.

The direction of electron flow in the ETC is from a higher to a lower energy level.

Arrangements of ETC complexes Two different models have been proposed. The random collision model (Hackenbrock et al, 1986)

states that each complex exists as individual entities that diffuse freely in the lipid bilayer.

In this model, transfer of electrons occurs during random and transient collision events.

By contrast, the solid-state model (Chance and Williams, 1955) assumes a higher level of organization, such that the electron transport complexes assemble into supercomplexes, where efficient transfer of electrons occurs along predefined pathways.

Page 14: Chala kenenisa(electron transport chain)

Arrangements…continuedThe solid-state model gained support from the

discovery of supercomplexes in bovine heart and yeast mitochondria by blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) (Schägger and Pfeiffer, 2000).

A first 3D map of negatively stained supercomplex B from bovine heart, composed of complex I, dimeric complex III and complex IV, provided initial insights into the arrangement of the three complexes in the assembly (Schäfer et al, 2007

Complex I Complex I is a flavoprotein and an NADH

dehydrogenase. It transfers electrons from NADH to hydrophobic mobile electron carrier CoQ via FMN and iron–sulfur clusters, leading to the formation of CoQH2. The passage of electrons by complex I is coupled to the transport of protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space of mitochondria. Complex I is inhibited by rotenone and Amytal.

It binds NADH substrate to the distal end of the hydrophilic arm and transfers two electrons, one at a time, via FMN and seven iron–sulphur clusters to the bound ubiquinone at the interface between two arms.

Complex I…continuedIt is the largest enzyme of the electron transport

chain (ETC) and has a characteristic L shape with an extensive part being embedded in the lipid bilayer and a smaller shoulder protruding into the mitochondrial matrix.

Complex I from several organisms has been characterized, including beef heart (45 subunits), Arabidopsis and rice (42 subunits, and the fungi Neurospora crassa (39 subunits) and Yarrowia lipolytica (37 subunits).

Complex I…continued Five to nine Complex I subunits (the ND subunits) are

usually encoded in the mitochondrial genome, whereas the remaining subunits are nuclear gene products

Including the 14 highly conserved subunits homologous to the prokaryotic type-I NADH dehydrogenase enzyme, all eukaryotic enzymes contain at least 33 subunits in common

Only three chaperones involved in Complex I assembly have been identified to date, CIA30 and CIA84 of N. crassa, and a paralogue (B17.2L) of the bovine B17.2 structural subunit

Complex II Complex II, also known as succinate

dehydrogenase, is a member of the TCA cycle. It is the second independent entrance point of

electrons to the respiratory chain. It is not a proton pump and it does not contribute

directly to the proton gradient formation. It oxidizes succinate to fumarate, which is

coupled to the reduction of FAD to FADH2. The electrons from FADH2 are transferred to CoQ via Fe-S centers with the formation of CoQH2.

Ubiquinone (COQ) CoQ accepts electrons not only from both complex I and II

but also from other flavoprotein-linked dehydrogenases, namely fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and glycerophosphate dehydrogenase.

Ubiquinone is a lipid composed of a redox-active benzoquinone ring connected to a long isoprenoid side chain (usually 6–10 units).

CoQ plays a central role in the mitochondrial respiratory chain since it shuttles electrons from Complex I, Complex II, and type-II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases to Complex III and AOX.

In addition, the redox state of CoQ regulates the activity of UCPs in land plants, mammals, and protists

Complex III Complex III catalyzes the electron transport from CoQH2

to cytochrome c and also is the second site of proton transport from matrix to intermembrane space.

Complex III or cytochrome c oxidoreductase, which is known to exist in the membrane as a dimer, oxidises ubiquinone to ubiquinol and as a result it can pump two protons to the intermembrane space. The electrons from ubiquinol are passed to the carrier cytochrome c via cytochromes b and c1 of complex III

It consists of three different cytochromes and an Fe-S protein. Cytochromes contain the same iron–protoporphyrin IX heme prosthetic groups found in hemoglobin and myoglobin.

Page 24: Chala kenenisa(electron transport chain)

Complex III…continued Unlike hemoglobin and myoglobin, the iron atoms of

the heme groups of cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction cycles facilitating electron transport.

The terminal electron acceptor of electrons from CoQH2 is cytochrome c. It is a mobile electron carrier like CoQ, but is water soluble, loosely bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Complex III is composed of ten well-conserved subunits, the oligomeric membrane protein complex contains three subunits carrying redox groups: cytochromeb, cytochrome c1, and a Rieske iron-sulfur protein (ISP).

and resolved into nine subunits with molecular masses ranging from 10 kD to 50 kD and four of these polypeptides were identified: QCR1 or core I (53 kD), whose N-terminal sequence was obtained; cytochrome b, cytochrome c1, and the ISP.

Six other Complex III components were identified by searching the genome: QCR2 (core II), QCR7 (subunit VI), QCR8 (subunit VII or “ubiquinol-binding” protein), QCR6 (subunit VIII or “hinge protein”), QCR9 (subunit X), and QCR10 (subunit XI)

Complex IV is cytochrome c oxidase, and it is the final destination for the

electrons. It catalyzes the reduction of O2 by using electrons obtained

from reduced cytochrome c, with the formation of the end product, water; and it is the third proton pumping station.

It consists of four redox centers: cytochrome a, cytochrome a3, and two Cu ions.

Inhibitors of cytochrome c oxidase are carbon monoxide, azide, and cyanide.

It accepts electrons from cytochrome c and delivers them to an oxygen molecule to convert it to two water molecules. Four protons are pumped to the intermembrane space during this process.

Complex IV…continued In yeast and mammals, the complex is composed of 12

and 13 subunits, respectively. In Arabidopsis, the enzyme is composed of 10–12 subunits but only 7 have been identified

Three subunits, usually encoded in the mitochondrial genome, comprise the catalytic core: COX1, which binds heme a, heme a3, and CuB; COX2, which binds CuA; and COX3.

The other subunits, all of which are nucleus-encoded, are considered to be regulatory proteins or polypeptides that participate in biogenesis of the complex.

Complex V The energy conserved by the electron transport chain

as an electrochemical proton gradient between the inner-membranal space and matrix is utilized in the formation of ATP from ADP. This process is known as Mitchell’s Chemiosmotic hypothesis and is catalyzed by ATP synthase, also known as complex V.

It consists of spheres known as F1 and that are attached to an integral membrane protein, F0.

The water-soluble F1-part consists of three α and three β catalytic subunits. The F1-part is connected to the membrane-embedded ring-like subunit c oligomer of the Fo-part by a central and a peripheral stalk.

Complex V…continued The Fo-part is composed of subunits a (Su 6), A6L (Su

8), e, f, g, the central stalk consists of the γ, δ and ε subunits and the peripheral stalk is made from subunits OSCP (Su 5), b, d, F6 (h)

The translocation of protons occurs via the transmembrane channel F0.

ATP synthesis occurs on F1 subunits, which function as a rotating motor coupled to the formation of an anhydride bond between ADP and Pi.

Transport of two electrons from NADH yields three ATP (P/O=3) and transport of two electrons from FADH2 yields two ATP (P/O=2).

Complex V…continued F0F1-ATP synthase is considered a molecular motor in

which a central rotor-stalk [γ/δ/ε/c10] (subunits of beef mitochondria) rotates around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the membrane, while other polypeptides constitute the fixed elements of the motor: subunit a, the catalytic core [α3/β3], the peripheral stator-stalk [OSCP/b/d/F6 ], and the so-called minor subunits [A6L/e/f/g]

Proton flux across subunit a causes a rotary movement of the membrane-embedded ring c10 and its bound, protruding central rotor-stalk. In a full cycle, three sequential 120° movements of subunit γ induce consecutive conformational changes in the three catalytic β subunits leading to substrate binding (ADP+Pi), ATP synthesis, and ATP release

Other components related to OXPHOS

1. Alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases

◦ In addition to the proton-pumping Complex I, plant and fungal mitochondria contain several type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases. These enzymes, located at the surface of the mitochondrial inner membrane and facing either the intermembrane space or the matrix, allow electron transfer from NAD(P)H to ubiquinone. They are single, low molecular weight polypeptides whose activity is insensitive to rotenone

2. Alternative oxidases◦ Besides the classical terminal aa3-type oxidase, mitochondria from

plants, several fungi, and several protists also possess an alternative oxidase (AOX) that drives the electrons from the ubiquinol pool directly to molecular oxygen and does not contribute to the formation of an electrochemical gradient. The enzyme is thought to regulate mitochondrial respiratory electron flow and to protect plant cells from oxidative damage

Other components…continued 3. Uncoupling proteins Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) belong to the mitochondrial anion

carrier protein family. UCPs are anchored in the inner membrane and compete with the F0F1-ATP synthase for the proton electron gradient built up by the activity of respiratory-chain Complexes I, III, and IV. They are present in all eukaryotes investigated except yeast, and their physiological roles are still under investigation and debate. A consensus function for UCPs might be the maintenance of energy balance during phosphorylating conditions, indirectly protecting the mitochondrion against reactive oxygen species by diminishing the reduced state of the respiratory chain

To date, three UCP-encoding genes have been identified in Chlamydomonas: UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3

Other components…continued 4.pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) (Kreuzberg, 1984), the enzyme that cleaves pyruvate into acetyl-CoA and formate. PFL is widespread in bacteria but rarely found in eukaryotes. The genes encoding PFL, phosphotransacetylase, and acetate kinase are present in Chlamydomonas and biochemical evidence exists for the presence of the corresponding protein products in mitochondria. Thus, an alternative route of mitochondrial ATP synthesis is present in Chlamydomonas involving pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, acetyl-phosphate, and acetate as end product.

CONCLUSIONStudies of mitochondria and ETC advanced

since 19th century, still spaces.ETC is the main system for ATP productionComplexes in ETC has distinct roles and

are multi enzyme complexes with different numerous sub units of which complex I is the largest

There are also several proteins related to oxidative phosphorylation.
