Abstract
Energy converting NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, complex I, is the first enzyme of respiratory chains in most eukaryotes and many bacteria. Mutations in genes encoding subunits of human complex I may lead to its dysfunction resulting in a diverse clinical pattern. The effect of mutations on the protein structure is not known. Here, we focus on mutations R88G, E246K, P252R and E377K that are found in subunit NDUFV1 comprising the NADH binding site of complex I. Homologous mutations were introduced into subunit NuoF of Aquifex aeolicus complex I and it was attempted to crystallize variants of the electron input module, NuoEF, with bound substrates in the oxidized and reduced state. The E377K variant did not form crystals most likely due to an improper protein assembly. The architecture of the NADH binding site is hardly affected by the other mutations indicating its unexpected structural robustness. The R88G, E246K and P252R mutations led to small local structural rearrangements that might be related to their pathogenicity. These minor structural changes involve substrate binding, product release and the putative formation of reactive oxygen species. The structural consequences of the mutations as obtained with the bacterial enzyme might thus help to contribute to the understanding of disease causing mutations.

Abstract
Energy-converting NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, respiratory complex I, is a major enzyme of energy metabolism that couples NADH oxidation and ubiquinone reduction with proton translocation. The NADH oxidation site features different enzymatic activities with various nucleotides. While the kinetics of these reactions are well described, only binding of NAD+ and NADH have been structurally characterized. Here, we report the structures of the electron input module of Aquifex aeolicus complex I with bound ADP-ribose and 3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotides at resolutions better than 2.0 Å. ADP-ribose acts as inhibitor by blocking the "ADP-handle" motif essential for nucleotide binding. The pyridine group of APADH is minimally offset from flavin, which could contribute to its poorer suitability as substrate. A comparison with other nucleotide co-structures surprisingly shows that the adenine ribose and the pyrophosphate moiety contribute most to nucleotide binding, thus all adenine dinucleotides share core binding modes to the unique Rossmann-fold in complex I.

NIR-enhanced Pt single atom/g-C 3N 4 nanozymes as SOD/CAT mimics to rescue ATP energy crisis by regulating oxidative phosphorylation pathway for delaying osteoarthritis progression. Bioact Mater 2024; 36:1-13. [PMID: 38425744 PMCID: PMC10900248 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.02.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) progresses due to the excessive generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and abnormal ATP energy metabolism related to the oxidative phosphorylation pathway in the mitochondria. Highly active single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) can help regulate the redox balance and have shown their potential in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In this study, we innovatively utilised ligand-mediated strategies to chelate Pt4+ with modified g-C3N4 by π-π interaction to prepare g-C3N4-loaded Pt single-atom (Pt SA/C3N4) nanozymes that serve as superoxide dismutase (SOD)/catalase (CAT) mimics to scavenge ROS/RNS and regulate mitochondrial ATP production, ultimately delaying the progression of OA. Pt SA/C3N4 exhibited a high loading of Pt single atoms (2.45 wt%), with an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (54.71%), resulting in tunable catalytic activities under near-infrared light (NIR) irradiation. Interestingly, the Pt-N6 active centres in Pt SA/C3N4 formed electron capture sites for electron holes, in which g-C3N4 regulated the d-band centre of Pt, and the N-rich sites transferred electrons to Pt, leading to the enhanced adsorption of free radicals and thus higher SOD- and CAT-like activities compared with pure g-C3N4 and g-C3N4-loaded Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs/C3N4). Based on the use of H2O2-induced chondrocytes to simulate ROS-injured cartilage invitro and an OA joint model invivo, the results showed that Pt SA/C3N4 could reduce oxidative stress-induced damage, protect mitochondrial function, inhibit inflammation progression, and rebuild the OA microenvironment, thereby delaying the progression of OA. In particular, under NIR light irradiation, Pt SA/C3N4 could help reverse the oxidative stress-induced joint cartilage damage, bringing it closer to the state of the normal cartilage. Mechanistically, Pt SA/C3N4 regulated the expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes, mainly NDUFV2 of complex 1 and MT-ATP6 of ATP synthase, to reduce ROS/RNS and promote ATP production. This study provides novel insights into the design of artificial nanozymes for treating oxidative stress-induced inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Carbonyl-carbonyl interactions in peptides and proteins attracted considerable interest in recent years. Here, we report a survey of carbonyl-carbonyl interactions in cyclic peptides, depsipeptides, peptoids and discuss the relationship between backbone torsion angles and CO∙∙∙CO distances. In general, φ values in the range between -40° and -90° and between 40° and 90° correspond to CO∙∙∙CO distances below 3.22 Å. By extending the analysis of carbonyl-carbonyl interactions in different types of beta turns in proteins, we also highlight the role of direct or reciprocal carbonyl-carbonyl interactions in stabilizing the beta turn conformation for each specific type. We confirmed the new type II beta turn, detected by Dunbrack and coworkers, and named Pa, and detect the presence of a direct carbonyl-carbonyl interaction between the second and third residues of the turn. We also evidenced the existence of another new type II beta turn, named pA (following Dunbrack's notation), which represents the alternative conformation of Pa with opposite φ and ψ values and is characterized by a direct carbonyl-carbonyl interaction between the second and third residues of the turn. Finally, we show that the occurrence of CO∙∙∙CO interactions could be also advocated to explain from a chemical point of view the diversity of turn types.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 13:44. [PMID: 38247469 PMCID: PMC10812788 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13010044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and the flavonoids quercetin and taxifolin (dihydroquercetin) are naturally occurring compounds found in plants. They are often referred to as polyphenols and are known, among others, for their pharmacological effects supporting health through the inhibition of aging processes and oxidative stress. To improve their bioavailability, pharmacological activities, and safety, the creation of novel flavonoid-phenolic acid hybrids is an area of active research. Previous work showed that such hybridization products of phenolic acids and flavonoids enhanced the resilience of neuronal cells against oxidative stress in vitro, and attenuated cognitive impairment in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in vivo. Notably, the therapeutic effects of the hybrid compounds we obtained were more pronounced than the protective activities of the respective individual components. The underlying mechanisms mediated by the flavonoid-phenolic acid hybrids, however, remained unclear and may differ from the signaling pathways activated by the originating structures of the respective individual phenolic acids or flavonoids. In this study, we characterized the effects of four previously described potent flavonoid-phenolic acid hybrids in models of oxidative cell death through ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is a type of iron-dependent regulated cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial ROS generation and has been linked to neurodegenerative conditions. In models of ferroptosis induced by erastin or RSL3, we analyzed mitochondrial (lipid) peroxidation, mitochondrial membrane integrity, and Ca2+ regulation. Our results demonstrate the strong protective effects of the hybrid compounds against ROS formation in the cytosol and mitochondria. Importantly, these protective effects against ferroptosis were not mediated by radical scavenging activities of the phenolic hybrid compounds but through inhibition of mitochondrial complex I activity and reduced mitochondrial respiration. Our data highlight the effects of flavonoid-phenolic acid hybrids on mitochondrial metabolism and further important mitochondrial parameters that collectively determine the health and functionality of mitochondria with a high impact on the integrity and survival of the neuronal cells.

Abstract
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) produce extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) to protect plants from external stresses. Fe-based nanomaterials can potentially interact with PGPR and synergistically degrade organic pollutants, yet they have received no study. Here, we studied how the interaction between a typical PGPR (Pseudomonas chlororaphis, JD37) and Fe-based nanomaterials facilitated the degradation of 2,4,4'-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28), by comparing the zerovalent iron of 20 nm (nZVI20), 100 nm (nZVI100), and 5 μm; iron oxide nanomaterials (α-Fe2O3, γ-Fe2O3, and Fe3O4) of ca. 20 nm; and ferrous and ferric salts. Although all Fe materials (0.1 g L-1) alone could not degrade aqueous PCB28 (0.1 mg L-1) under dark or aerobic conditions, nZVI20, nZVI100, α-Fe2O3, and Fe2+ promoted PCB28 degradation by JD37, with the half-life of PCB28 shortened from 16.5 h by JD37 alone to 8.1 h with nZVI100 cotreatment. Mechanistically, the nanomaterials stimulated JD37 to secrete phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and accelerated the NADH/NAD+ conversion, promoting O2*- generation; JD37 increased Fe(II) dissolution from the nanomaterials, facilitating *OH generation; and the ROS gradually degraded PCB28 into benzoic acid through dihydroxy substitution, oxidation to quinone, and Michael addition. These findings provide a new strategy of nanoenabled biodegradation of organic pollutants by applying Fe-based nanomaterials and PGPR.

Abstract
Bacterial energy metabolism has become a promising target for next-generation tuberculosis chemotherapy. One strategy to hamper ATP production is to inhibit the respiratory oxidases. The respiratory chain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis comprises a cytochrome bcc:aa3 and a cytochrome bd ubiquinol oxidase that require a combined approach to block their activity. A quinazoline-type compound called ND-011992 has previously been reported to ineffectively inhibit bd oxidases, but to act bactericidal in combination with inhibitors of cytochrome bcc:aa3 oxidase. Due to the structural similarity of ND-011992 to quinazoline-type inhibitors of respiratory complex I, we suspected that this compound is also capable of blocking other respiratory chain complexes. Here, we synthesized ND-011992 and a bromine derivative to study their effect on the respiratory chain complexes of Escherichia coli. And indeed, ND-011992 was found to inhibit respiratory complex I and bo3 oxidase in addition to bd-I and bd-II oxidases. The IC50 values are all in the low micromolar range, with inhibition of complex I providing the lowest value with an IC50 of 0.12 µM. Thus, ND-011992 acts on both, quinone reductases and quinol oxidases and could be very well suited to regulate the activity of the entire respiratory chain.

Abstract
NADH-OH, the specific inhibitor of NADH-binding site of the mammalian complex I, is shown to completely block FMN-dependent reactions of P. denitrificans enzyme in plasma membrane vesicles: NADH oxidation (in a competitive manner with Ki of 1 nM) as well as reduction of pyridine nucleotides, ferricyanide and oxygen in the reverse electron transfer. In contrast to these activities, the reverse electron transfer to hexaammineruthenium (III) catalyzed by plasma membrane vesicles is insensitive to NADH-OH. To explain these results, we hypothesize the existence of a non-FMN redox group of P. denitrificans complex I that is capable of reducing hexaammineruthenium (III), which is corroborated by the complex kinetics of NADH: hexaammineruthenium (III)-reductase activity, catalyzed by this enzyme. A new assay procedure for measuring succinate-driven reverse electron transfer catalyzed by P. denitrificans complex I to hexaammineruthenium (III) is proposed.
