Abstract
Interaction of mitochondrial creatine kinase (mtCK) with either synthetic or natural zwitterionic or acidic phospholipids was monitored by surface pressure measurements. Injection of mtCK beneath a monolayer at very low surface pressure results in a large increase in the apparent area per lipid molecule reflecting the intrinsic surface activity of the protein. This effect is particularly pronounced with anionic phospholipid-containing films. Upon compression to high lateral pressure, the protein is squeezed out of the lipid monolayer. On the contrary, mtCK injected beneath a monolayer compressed at 30 mN/m, does not insert into the monolayer but is concentrated below the surface by anionic phospholipids as evidenced by the immediate and strong increase in the apparent molecular area occurring upon decompression. Below 8 mN/m the protein adsorbs to the interface and remains intercalated until the lateral pressure increases again. The critical pressure of insertion is higher for anionic lipid-containing monolayers than for films containing only zwitterionic phospholipids. In the former case it is markedly diminished by NaCl. The adsorption of mtCK depends on the percentage of negative charges carried by the monolayer and is reduced by increasing NaCl concentrations. However, the residual interaction existing in the absence of a global negative charge on the membrane may indicate that this interaction also involves a hydrophobic component.

Abstract
Adsorption to the air/water interface of isoenzymes of creatine kinase was investigated using surface pressure-area isotherms and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) observations. Octameric mitochondrial creatine kinase (mtCK) exhibits a significant affinity for the air/water interface. Whatever the mode of formation of the interfacial film, i.e., injection of the protein in the subphase or spreading onto the buffer surface, the final arrangement and conformation adopted by mtCK molecules lead to a similar result. In contrast, the dimeric isoenzymes mtCK and cytosolic MMCK do not induce any surface pressure variation. However, when the subphase contains 0.3M NaCl, both isoenzymes adsorb to the interface. When treated with 0.8 or 3M GdnHCl, muscle creatine kinase (MMCK) becomes surface active and occupies a greater surface than mtCK. This result contrasts with previous observations, often derived from monomeric proteins, that their surface activity is increased upon unfolding. It underlines the possible influence exerted by the protein oligomeric state on its interfacial activity. At a subphase pH of 8.8, which corresponds to the pI of octameric mtCK, the profiles of the isotherms obtained with dimeric and octameric states and the resistance to compression of the protein monolayers are significantly affected when compared to those recorded at pH 7.4. These data suggest that the octamer is more hydrophobic than the dimer and may contribute to explaining why octamers bind to the inner mitochondrial membrane while dimers do not.

Abstract
Mitochondrial creatine kinase and its proteinase K nicked-derivative interaction with liposomes induced slight secondary structure changes evidenced by infrared spectra. In nondenaturing conditions, the N-terminal (K1) and the C-terminal (K2) fragments remained associated with each other and bound to liposomes. When the two fragments were separated by denaturation, K2 was soluble, whereas most of K1 was adsorbed onto liposomes. The three-dimensional structure of uncleaved mtCK suggests that the C-terminal moiety, which contains positively charged surface residues, interacted with membranes. After denaturation and renaturation of the nicked enzyme, both peptides did not refold properly and did not reassociate with each other. The misfolded K1 fragment bound to the membrane through a stretch of positive residues, which were buried in the native enzyme. The lack of binding of the ill-folded K2 peptide could be related to the disruption of the optimal disposition of its positive charges, responsible for the correct interaction of native mtCK with membrane.

Abstract
Phosphagens are phosphorylated guanidino compounds that are linked to energy state and ATP hydrolysis by corresponding phosphagen kinase reactions: phosphagen + MgADP + H(+) <--> guanidine acceptor + MgATP. Eight different phosphagens (and corresponding phosphagen kinases) are found in the animal kingdom distributed along distinct phylogenetic lines. By far, the creatine phosphate/creatine kinase (CP/CK) system, which is found in the vertebrates and is widely distributed throughout the lower chordates and invertebrates, is the most extensively studied phosphagen system. Phosphagen kinase reactions function in temporal ATP buffering, in regulating inorganic phosphate (Pi) levels, which impacts glycogenolysis and proton buffering, and in intracellular energy transport. Phosphagen kinase reactions show differences in thermodynamic poise, and the phosphagens themselves differ in terms of certain physical properties including intrinsic diffusivity. This review evaluates the distribution of phosphagen systems and tissue-specific expression of certain phosphagens in an evolutionary and functional context. The role of phosphagens in regulation of intracellular Pi levels likely evolved early. Thermodynamic poise of the phosphagen kinase reaction profoundly impacts this capacity. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that the capacity for intracellular targeting of CK evolved early as a means of facilitating energy transport in highly polarized cells and was subsequently exploited for temporal ATP buffering and dynamic roles in metabolic regulation in cells displaying high and variable rates of aerobic energy production.

Abstract
We have evaluated surface plasmon resonance with avidin-biotin immobilized liposomes to characterize membrane binding of ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase (uMtCK). While the sarcomeric sMtCK isoform is well known to bind to negatively charged phospholipids, especially cardiolipin, this report provides the first experimental evidence on the membrane interaction of an uMtCK isoform. Qualitative measurements showed that liposomes containing 16% (w/w) cardiolipin bind octameric as well as dimeric human uMtCK and also cytochrome c, but not bovine serum albumin. Quantitative parameters could be derived only for the membrane interaction of octameric human uMtCK using an improved analytical approach. Association and dissociation kinetics of octameric uMtCK fit well to a model for heterogeneous interaction suggesting two independent binding sites. Rate constants of the two sites differed by one order of magnitude, while their affinity constants were both about 80-100 nM. The data obtained demonstrate that surface plasmon resonance with immobilized liposomes is a suitable approach to characterize the binding of peripheral proteins to a lipid bilayer and that this method yields consistent quantitative binding parameters.

Abstract
The characteristics of the interaction of mitochondrial creatine kinase (mt-CK) with phospholipid vesicles are determined. The presence of negatively charged phospholipids is required to obtain a significant binding of mt-CK. The interaction seems to be largely of an electrostatic nature: it increases with increasing amounts of anionic phospholipid in liposomes and decreases when the ionic strength increases or when the pH of the medium is higher than the pI of mt-CK. We have compared the effects of various effectors used to solubilize mt-CK from the mitochondrial membrane on the binding of mt-CK to liposomes: the nucleotide substrates ATP and ADP have no influence, parahydroxymercuribenzoate, a negatively charged organomercurial compound, partially decreases mt-CK binding; and the anticancer agent adriamycin efficiently prevents mt-CK binding. As monitored by the increase in absorbance, mt-CK causes vesicle aggregation. A differential scanning calorimetry study, using dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol vesicles, shows that mt-CK produces a decrease in the enthalpy variation without any change in the position of the calorimetric peak maximum. This suggests a partial disorganization of the phospholipid bilayer upon interaction with mt-CK.

Abstract
Creatine kinase (CK) isoenzymes play prominent roles in myocardial energy metabolism. Two nuclear genes encode mitochondrial creatine kinase (MtCK), are tissue-specific in their expression, and are thus designated as sarcomeric MtCK (sMtCK) and ubiquitous MtCK (uMtCK). Quantitative analysis of the mRNA expression of both MtCKs in developing rat tissues demonstrates tissue-specific developmental regulation. sMtCK mRNA in heart is undetectable prenatally but is dramatically upregulated by 28 d postnatally. sMtCK mRNA in skeletal muscle is also extremely low prenatally but is markedly upregulated at birth and doubles by 28 d postnatally. uMtCK mRNA expression is present at low levels in fetal brain and intestine. Brain uMtCK mRNA continues to rise from -4 d prenatally until 28 d postnatally (6-fold increase), but intestinal uMtCK mRNA increases immediately prior to birth, falls, and is upregulated again at 28 d (20-fold). uMtCK mRNA is undetectable in fetal skeletal muscle or heart, but increases to low levels in skeletal muscle at birth and remains at this level into adulthood. uMtCK is not detectable in heart, lung, testes, or liver at any stage examined. We conclude that sMtCK and uMtCK are developmentally regulated in a tissue-specific manner. Unlike cytosolic muscle CK and brain CK, there is no isoenzyme switch between sMtCK and uMtCK in the developing animal. Our results suggest that specific trans-acting factors regulate the different developmental and tissue-specific expression of the MtCK genes.

Abstract
The biochemical and biophysical characterization of the mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK) from chicken cardiac muscle is reviewed with emphasis on the structure of the octameric oligomer by electron microscopy and on its membrane binding properties. Information about shape, molecular symmetry and dimensions of the Mi-CK octamer, as obtained by different sample preparation techniques in combination with image processing methods, are compared. The organization of the four dimeric subunits into the Mi-CK complex as apparent as apparent in the end-on projections is discussed and the consistently observed high binding affinity of the four-fold symmetric end-on faces towards many support films and towards each other is outlined. A study on the oligomeric state of the enzyme in solution and in intact mitochondria, using chemical crosslinking reagents, is presented together with the results of a search for a possible linkage of Mi-CK with the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT). The nature of Mi-CK binding to model membranes, demonstrating that rather the octameric than the dimeric subspecies is involved in lipid interaction and membrane contact formation, is resumed and put into relation to our structural observations. The findings are discussed in light of a possible in vivo function of the Mi-CK octamer bridging the gap between outer and inner mitochondrial membranes at the contact sites.

Abstract
The published experimental data and existing concepts of cellular regulation of respiration are analyzed. Conventional, simplified considerations of regulatory mechanism by cytoplasmic ADP according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics or by derived parameters such as phosphate potential etc. do not explain relationships between oxygen consumption, workload and metabolic state of the cell. On the other hand, there are abundant data in literature showing microheterogeneity of cytoplasmic space in muscle cells, in particular with respect to ATP (and ADP) due to the structural organization of cell interior, existence of multienzyme complexes and structured water phase. Also very recent experimental data show that the intracellular diffusion of ADP is retarded in cardiomyocytes because of very low permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane for adenine nucleotides in vivo. Most probably, permeability of the outer mitochondrial membrane porin channels is controlled in the cells in vivo by some intracellular factors which may be connected to cytoskeleton and lost during mitochondrial isolation. All these numerous data show convincingly that cellular metabolism cannot be understood if cell interior is considered as homogenous solution, and it is necessary to use the theories of organized metabolic systems and substrate-product channelling in multienzyme systems to understand metabolic regulation of respiration. One of these systems is the creatine kinase system, which channels high energy phosphates from mitochondria to sites of energy utilization. It is proposed that in muscle cells feed-back signal between contraction and mitochondrial respiration may be conducted by metabolic wave (propagation of oscillations of local concentration of ADP and creatine) through cytoplasmic equilibrium creatine and adenylate kinases and is amplified by coupled creatine kinase reaction in mitochondria. Mitochondrial creatine kinase has experimentally been shown to be a powerful amplifier of regulatory action of weak ADP fluxes due to its coupling to adenine nucleotide translocase. This phenomenon is also carefully analyzed.

Abstract
Mitochondrial Creatine Kinase (MtCK) is responsible for the transfer of high energy phosphate from mitochondria to the cytosolic carrier, creatine, and exists in mammals as two isoenzymes encoded by separate genes. In rats and humans, sarcomere-specific MtCK (sMtCK) is expressed only in skeletal and heart muscle, and has 87% nucleotide identity across the 1257 bp coding region. The ubiquitous isoenzyme of MtCK (uMtCK) is expressed in many tissues with highest levels in brain, gut, and kidney, and has 92% nucleotide identity between the 1254 bp coding regions of rat and human. Both genes are highly regulated developmentally in a tissue-specific manner. There is virtually no expression of sMtCK mRNA prior to birth. Unlike cytosolic muscle CK (MCK) and brain CK (BCK), there is no developmental isoenzyme switch between the MtCKs. Cell culture models representing the tissue-specific expression of either sMtCK or uMtCK are available, but there are no adequate developmental models to examine their regulation. Several animal models are available to examine the coordinate regulation of the CK gene family and include 1) Cardiac Stress by coarctation (sMtCK, BCK, and MCK), 2) Uterus and placenta during pregnancy (uMtCK and BCK), and 3) Diabetes and mitochondrial myopathy (sMtCK, BCK, and MCK). We report the details of these findings, and discuss the coordinate regulation of the genes necessary for high-energy transduction.

Abstract
The quantitative aspects of mitochondrial creatine kinase (mitCK) binding to mitochondrial membranes were investigated. A simple adsorption and binding model was used for data fitting, taking into account the influence of protein concentration, pH, ionic strength and substrate concentration on the enzyme adsorption. An analysis of our own data as well as of the data from the literature is consistent with the adsorption site of the octameric mitCK being composed of 4 amino acid residues with pK = 8.8 in the free enzyme. The pK value changes to 9.8 upon binding of the protein to the membrane. Lysine is suggested as the main candidate to form the adsorption site of mitCK. Deprotonated octameric mitCK easily dissociated from the membrane (Ka = 0.39 mM at ionic strength I = 7.5 mM and 5 degrees C); after protonation its affinity increased many times (Kah = 39 nM). Determination of mitCK adsorption capacity by another method at pH 7.4, when the enzyme is almost protonated, gave Kah = 15 nM. The effect of ionic strength on mitCK adsorption may be described in terms of Debye-Hückel's theory for activity coefficients assuming the charges of the interacting species to be +4 and -4. The dissociation constant for the mitCK-membrane complex at pH 7.4 and I = 0 was evaluated by different approaches as approx. 1 nM. Extramitochondrial ATP (or ADP) shifted greatly the equilibrium between the adsorbed and the free mitCK towards the solubilized state, since in the adsorbed protein the external ligands had access to four binding sites and in the free protein to eight sites.

Abstract
The interaction of mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK; EC 2.7.3.2) with phospholipid monolayers and spread mitochondrial membranes at the air/water interface has been investigated. It appeared that Mi-CK penetrated into these monolayers as evidenced by an increase in surface pressure upon incorporation of Mi-CK. The increase in surface pressure was dependent on (1) the amount and (2) the oligomeric form of Mi-CK in the subphase, as well as on (3) the initial surface pressure and (4) the phospholipid composition of the monolayer. In this experimental system Mi-CK was able to interact equally well with both inner and outer mitochondrial membranes.

Abstract
Three functions have been suggested to be localized in contact sites between the inner and the outer membrane of mitochondria from mammalian cells: (i) transfer of energy from matrix to cytosol through the action of peripheral kinases; (ii) import of mitochondrial precursor proteins; and (iii) transfer of lipids between outer and inner membrane. In the contact site-related energy transfer a number of kinases localized in the periphery of the mitochondrion play a crucial role. Two examples of such kinases are relevant here: (i) hexokinase isoenzyme I which is capable of binding to the outer aspect of the outer membrane; and (ii) the mitochondrial isoenzyme of creatine kinase which is localized in the intermembrane space. Recently, evidence was presented that both hexokinase and creatine kinase are preferentially localized in contact sites (Adams, V. et al. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 981, 213-225). The aim of the present experiments was two-fold. First, to establish methods which enable the bioenergetic aspects of energy transfer mediated by kinases in contact sites to be measured. In these experiments emphasis was on hexokinase, while 31P-NMR was the major experimental technique. Second, we wanted to develop methods which can give insight into factors playing a role in the formation of contact sites involved in energy transfer. In the latter approach, mitochondrial creatine kinase was studied using monolayer techniques.

Abstract
Whereas factors governing the interconversion of the two oligomeric forms of mitochondrial creatine kinase are relatively well known, few informations are yet available on the actual form in situ. Antibodies against purified pig and rabbit heart mitochondrial creatine kinase were obtained. The former exhibits a marked specificity for the dimer while the second reacts with both dimer and octamer. They allowed to demonstrate that no dimer can be detected in mitochondria and that CKm occurs naturally exclusively as an octamer. We present arguments that the larger part, if not the totality, of the octamer is membrane-bound rather than soluble in the intermembrane space. However, these findings do not refute the previously proposed models for the regulation of CKm activity in the mitochondrion but urge to envisage a more complex one.

Abstract
Heart mitochondria isolated from 14- to 21-day-old chicks are highly coupled and often have respiratory control ratio (RCR) values exceeding 100. This paper presents data from a study of some of the properties of these mitochondria. The studies show that: (a) The ADP:O ratios and the state 4 rates of respiration are highly dependent upon the concentration of mitochondria at which these parameters are measured. (b) The mitochondrial isolate is contaminated with at least two divalent cation-stimulated ATPase, of which one is the F1F0-ATPase of broken mitochondria. (c) The oligomycin-sensitive component of state 4 respiration is completely inhibited by ethylene glycol bis(beta-amino-ethylether) N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). This inhibition is biphasic and attributable to the differential affinity of EGTA for Ca(II) and Mg(II). (d) Ca(II) and Mg(II) stimulate state 4 respiration, thereby depressing RCR values. These cations also decrease ADP:O ratios from greater than or equal to 3.25 to 3.0 for some NAD-linked substrates. (e) Uncoupled (i.e., oligomycin-insensitive) state 4 respiration can be abolished by treating the mitochondria with Nagarse and by preincubating mitochondria with exogenous substrate. (f) The ADP:O ratios obtained when these heart mitochondria oxidize pyruvate/malate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate are fractional and significantly greater than 3.0.

Abstract
The state of mitochondrial creatine kinase (CKmi-mi) in intact dog heart mitochondria and mitoplasts and the mechanism of its functional coupling with the oxidative phosphorylation system have been reinvestigated under different osmotic conditions and ionic compositions of the medium. It has been established that in a medium which mimics the cardiac cell cytoplasma, dissociation of CKmi-mi from the membrane of mitoplasts increases when the mitoplasts are swollen due to hypoosmotic treatment. It was shown by EPR that hypoosmotic treatment results in the enhancement of the mobility of phospholipids in the membrane bilayer. It has been also shown that when CKmi-mi is detached from the inner membrane in intact mitochondria in isotonic KCl solution, the effects of the coupling between CKmi-mi and oxidative phosphorylation via ATP/ADP translocase disappear in spite of the presence of CKmi-mi in the intermembrane space and intactness of the outer mitochondrial membrane. Therefore, this coupling cannot be explained by the "compartmented coupling" mechanism or "dynamic adenine nucleotide compartmentation" in the intermembrane space due to diffusion limitation for adenine nucleotides through the outer mitochondrial membrane, as has been supposed by several authors (F.N. Gellerich et al. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 890, 117-126; S.P.J. Brooks and C.H. Suelter (1987) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 253, 122-132). The data obtained show that the displacement of the enzyme from the membrane results in significantly increased sensitivity of the coupled processes of aerobic phosphocreatine synthesis to inhibition by the product, phosphocreatine. Thus, all results show that under physiological osmotic and ionic conditions CKmi-mi remains firmly attached to the inner mitochondrial membrane and effectively coupled with ATP/ADP translocase due to intimate dynamic interaction between those proteins.

Abstract
The kinetic coupling of mitochondrial creatine kinase (MiMi-CK) to ADP/ATP translocase in chicken heart mitochondrial preparations is demonstrated. Measuring the MiMi-CK apparent Km value for MgATP2- (at saturating creatine) gives a value of 36 microM when MiMi-CK is coupled to oxidative phosphorylation. This Km value is threefold lower than the Km for enzyme bound to mitoplasts or free in solution. The nucleotide translocase Km value for ADP decreases from 20 to 10 microM in the presence of 50 mM creatine only with intact mitochondria. Similar experiments with mitoplasts do not give decreased Km values. The observed Km differences can be used to calculate the concentration of ATP and ADP under steady-state conditions showing that the observed differences in the kinetic constants accurately reflect the enzyme activities of MiMi-CK under the different conditions. The behavior of the Km values provides evidence for what we term compartmented coupling. Therefore, like the rabbit heart system (S. Erickson-Viitanen, P. Viitanen, P. J. Geiger, W. C. T. Yang, and S. P. Bessman (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 14395-14404) compartmented coupling requires an intact outer mitochondrial membrane. The apparent Km values for normal or compartmentally coupled systems can be used to calculate steady-state values of ATP and ADP by coupling enzyme theory. Hence, the overall kinetic parameters accurately reflect the behavior of the enzymes whether free in solution or in the intermembrane space.
