cytrochromes

*1 electron carriers *classes a, b, and c (distinguished by their light absorption spectra due to different ring additions) *each in its reduced Fe2+ state has 3 absorption bands in visible range (600nm in a, 560nm in b, and 550nm in c) *heme group of type c is covalently attached

complex II: succinate dehydrogenase

*FAD accepts 2 e- from succinate *electrons are passed one at a time via Fe-S center to ubiquinone (becomes QH2) *does not transport H+ *succinate dehydrogenase is also an enzyme (membrane bound) in the citric acid cycle *smaller/simpler than complex I (5 prosthetic groups and 4 subunits)

electron movement

*carriers in order of increasing reduction potentials (e- tend to flow from carriers of low E to high E) NADH --> Q --> cytochrome b --> cytochrome c1 --> cytochrome c --> cytochrome a --> cytochrome a3 --> O2 *actual order also depends on concentration of reduced and oxidized forms

coenzyme Q (ubiquinone)

*lipid soluble benzoquinone (conjugated dicarbonyl) with a long isoprenoid side chain *accepts 1-2 electrons in membrane associated electron transfer chain *carries both electrons and protons *freely diffusible in lipid bilayer (mobile electron carrier taking e- from complex I and II to complex III)

mitochondrial matrix contains:

*lower proton concentration/higher pH -pyruvate dehydrogenase complex -citric acid cycle enzymes -fatty acid beta oxidation enzymes -amino acid oxidation enzymes -DNA , ribosomes, other enzymes -ATP, ADP, Pi, Mg2+, Ca2+, K+ -many soluble metabolic intermediates

regulation of oxidative phosphorylation

*mostly regulated by substrate availability (ADP, Pi, and NADH) *regulated by inhibitors of F1 (during low oxygen or at low pH: prevents wasteful hydrolysis of ATP) *--> inhibition of OxPhos leads to accumulation of NADH (feedback inhibition goes to PFK-1 in glycolysis)

complex I: ubiquinone oxidoreductase

*one of the largest macromolecular assemblies (over 40 different polypeptides encoded by both mitochondrial and nuclear genes) *NADH binding site on matrix side *noncovalently bound flavin molecules (FMN) accepts 2 e- from NADH *many iron sulfur centers pass 1 e- at a time to ubiquinone

metabolic poisons to determine sequence

*those after the block become reduced and those after become oxidized *rotenone: NADH -->X Q *antimycin A: cyt b --> X cyt c1 *CN- or CO: Cyt (a+a3) --> X O2

4 H+ are pumped out by complex I, 4 H+ by complex III, and 2 H+ by complex IV. vectorial: NADH + 11H+ + 1/2O2 --> NAD+ + 10H+ + H2O

The reaction A + B→ C has a ^ G of -20kJ/mol at 25 C. Starting under standard conditions, one can predict that:

at equilibrium, the concentration of C will be much greater than the concentration of A or B

1. respiratory chain

electrons enter first into the chain of electron carriers (come from dehydrogenases that collect electrons from catabolic pathways and funnel them into universal electron acceptors aka: NAD+, NADP+, FMN, or FAD)

glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase

respirasomes

functional combinations of two or more different electron transfer complexes *cardiolipin (lipid in innermitochondrial membrane) is critical to maintenance

Uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation:

halts mitochondrial ATP formation, but allows continued O₂ consumption

inner mitochondrial membrane

impermeable to small molecules and ions (including H+). contains: -respiratory electron carriers (complexes I-IV) -ADP-ATP translocase -ATP synthase (F0F1) -other specific membrane transporters -cristae increase surface area

formation of reactive oxygen species is favored under 2 conditions

1) mitochondria are not making ATP (lack of ADP or lack of O2) --> high proton motive force and high QH2/Q ratio 2) AND high NADH/NAD+ ratio in the matrix *this produces oxidative stress *superoxide dismutase reverts superoxide radical into H2O2

proton gradient was created in one of 3 ways

1. actively transporting H+ across the membrane complex I and IV 2. chemically remove H+ from the matrix (reduction of CoQ and O2) 3. release H+ into the intermembrane space (oxidation of QH2)

order of electron flow

1. direct transfer of electrons as the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ 2. transfer as a hydrogen atom 3. transfer as a hydride anion (2e-)

6 steps of proton driven rotation of c ring

1. proton enters half channel on P side (cytosol) 2. proton binds to Asp residue and displaces Arg to adjacent c subunit 3. Arg rotates, displacing H+ from Asp 4. displaced H+ exits on N side 5. c ring rotates, Arg returns to Pside half channel 6. process repeats

coupling proton translocation to ATP synthesis

1. proton translocation causes rotation of Fo subunit and central shaft (gamma) 2. causes conformational change with all the alpha-beta pairs 3. the conformational change in 1 of the 3 pairs promotes condensation of ADP to Pi

complex I catalyzes two simultaneous coupled processes

1. the exergonic transfer to ubiquinone of a hydride ion from NADH and a proton from the matrix (NADH + H+ + Q --> NAD+ +QH2 2. endergonic transfer of 4 protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space *proton pump driven by energy of electron transfer

mitochondrial genome

16.5k base pairs. only 37 genes (24 encode tRNA, and rRNA) *about 5 copies of genome/mitochondrian *only 1,100 proteins are found in/encoded by mitochondria (thus, majority encoded by nucleus)

summary of electron transport: complex I --> complex IV

1NADH + 11H+ + 1/2O2 --> NAD+ + 10H+ + H2O

chemiosmotic theory

A model to explain the synthesis of ATP. The theory proposes that the energy for ATP synthesis originates from the electrochemical gradient of protons across a membrane (energy by electron transport down gradient drives H+ against gradient) *ADP + Pi =ATP (highly thermodynamically unfavorable) *also H+ down gradient drives phosphorylation of ADP
