Abstract
Worldwide, interest in mitochondria is constantly growing, as evidenced by scientific statistics, and studies of the functioning of these organelles are becoming more prevalent than studies of other cellular structures. In this analytical review, mitochondria are conditionally placed in a certain cellular center, which is responsible for both energy production and other non-energetic functions, without which the existence of not only the eukaryotic cell itself, but also the entire organism is impossible. Taking into account the high multifunctionality of mitochondria, such a fundamentally new scheme of cell functioning organization, including mitochondrial management of processes that determine cell survival and death, may be justified. Considering that this issue is dedicated to the memory of V. P. Skulachev, who can be called mitocentric, due to the history of his scientific activity almost entirely aimed at studying mitochondria, this work examines those aspects of mitochondrial functioning that were directly or indirectly the focus of attention of this outstanding scientist. We list all possible known mitochondrial functions, including membrane potential generation, synthesis of Fe-S clusters, steroid hormones, heme, fatty acids, and CO2. Special attention is paid to the participation of mitochondria in the formation and transport of water, as a powerful biochemical cellular and mitochondrial regulator. The history of research on reactive oxygen species that generate mitochondria is subject to significant analysis. In the section "Mitochondria in the center of death", special emphasis is placed on the analysis of what role and how mitochondria can play and determine the program of death of an organism (phenoptosis) and the contribution made to these studies by V. P. Skulachev.

Abstract
A water soluble carbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC), has been used to crosslink horse heart cytochrome c and trypsin-solubilized bovine liver microsomal cytochrome b5. The reaction was conducted under a variety of solution conditions, and the products were purified by a combination of gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Under all conditions of pH, ionic strength, EDC/protein ratio and reaction time that were studied, multiple 1:1 crosslinked complexes were observed with no evidence of a single, dominant species. Acetate, which is often used as a quencher of such reactions, was found to increase the complexity of the reaction products, presumably through EDC-promoted coupling to cytochrome c. Hydroxylamine treatment of the crosslinked complexes, a procedure frequently used to reverse EDC modification of tyrosyl residues, did not reduce the number of crosslinked components observed. The cytochrome b5 heme group was readily extracted from each of the 1:1 crosslinked complexes by standard techniques, so the crosslinking of heme propionate 7 with Lys79 of cytochrome c that might have been anticipated on the basis of molecular graphics modeling [Salemme, F.R. (1976) J. Mol. Biol. 102, 563-568] was not evident from this analysis. Analysis of HPLC tryptic peptide maps produced from crosslinked complexes revealed reduced specificity of trypsin in hydrolysis of EDC-crosslinked protein-protein complexes and unsatisfactory resolution of crosslinked or branched peptides. Nevertheless, it was possible to demonstrate that residues 52-72 of cytochrome b5, a region predicted to be critical to interaction with cytochrome b5 [Salemme, F.R. (1976) J. Mol. Biol. 102, 563-568] was absent from all peptide maps of 1:1 cytochrome c.cytochrome b5 complexes. Based on these results and a review of the literature involving EDC crosslinking of electron transfer proteins, we conclude that the techniques available for specific protein hydrolysis and separation of crosslinked peptides are not adequate to permit routine unambiguous identification of crosslinking sites in carbodiimide-crosslinked complexes.

Abstract
Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase is an exceedingly complex multistructural and multifunctional membranous enzyme. In this review, we will provide an overview of the many interactions of cytochrome oxidase, stressing developments not covered by the excellent monograph of Wikström, Krab, and Saraste (1981), and continuing into early 1983. First we describe its functions (both in the nominal sense, as a transporter of electrons between cytochrome c and oxygen, and in its role in energy transduction). Then we describe its structure, emphasizing the protein (its structure as a whole, the number and stoichiometry of its subunits, their biosynthetic origin, and their interactions with each other, with other components of the enzyme complex, and with the membrane as a whole). Finally, we present a model in which the protein conformation serves as the focus for the dynamic interaction of its two major functions.

Abstract
A water-soluble carbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, has been used to cross-link horse heart cytochrome c to spinach chloroplast plastocyanin. The complex was formed in yields up to 90% and was found to have a stoichiometry of 1 mol plastocyanin per mol cytochrome c. The cytochrome c in the complex was fully reducible by ascorbate and potassium ferrocyanide, and had a redox potential only 25 mV less than that of native cytochrome c. The complex was nearly completely inactive towards succinate-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome c oxidase, suggesting that the heme crevice region of cytochrome c was blocked. We propose that the carbodiimide promoted the formation of amide cross-links between lysine amino groups surrounding the heme crevice of cytochrome c and complementary carboxyl groups on plastocyanin. It is of interest that the high-affinity site for cytochrome c binding on bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase has recently been found to involve a sequence of subunit II with some homology to the copper-binding sequence of plastocyanin.

Abstract
Modification of beef heart cytochrome c oxidase with 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC) or 1-ethyl-3-[3-(trimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (CH3EDC) has been found to significantly inhibit the high-affinity phase of the reaction of this enzyme with cytochrome c. Reaction conditions leading to a 70% inhibition of Vmax resulted in a 16-fold increase in the Km for cytochrome c. The loss in activity was accompanied by modification of subunit II to form a new species, II', which migrated somewhat more rapidly than the unmodified subunit during sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaDodSO4) gel electrophoresis. This new species was the major site of radiolabeling when cytochrome c oxidase was treated with [14C]CH3EDC, indicating covalent incorporation of the carbodiimide. Equimolar concentrations of cytochrome c dramatically protected cytochrome c oxidase from inhibition by the carbodiimide and in approximately the same proportion shielded subunit II from modification to the labeled II' species. In addition, cytochrome c was cross-linked to subunit II to form a new species migrating somewhat faster than subunit I during NaDodSO4 gel electrophoresis. This cross-linked species was shown to contain subunit II by using subunit-specific antibodies. We propose that EDC or CH3EDC reacts with one or more partially buried carboxyl groups on subunit II to form a positively charged N-acylurea which inhibits cytochrome c binding. In the presence of cytochrome c, EDC promotes formation of amide cross-links between lysine amino groups on cytochrome c and their complementary carboxyl groups on cytochrome c oxidase.

Abstract
Two arylazidocytochrome c derivatives, one modified at lysine-13 and the second modified at lysine-22, were reacted with beef heart cytochrome c oxidase. The lysine-13 modified arylazidocytochrome c was found to cross-link both to the enzyme and with lipid bound to the cytochrome c oxidase complex. The lysine-22 derivative reacted only with lipids. Cross-linking to protein was through subunit II of the cytochrome c oxidase complex, as first reported by Bisson et al. [Bisson, R., Azzi, A., Gutweniger, H., Colonna, R., Monteccuco, C., & Zanotti, A. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 1874]. Binding studies show that the cytochrome c derivative covalently bound to subunit II was in the high-affinity binding site for the substrate. Evidence is also presented to suggest that cytochrome c bound to the lipid was in the low-affinity binding site [as defined by Ferguson-Miller et al. [Ferguson-Miller, S., Brautigan, D. L., & Margoliash, E. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 1104]]. Covalent binding of the cytochrome c derivative into the high-affinity binding site was found to inhibit electron transfer even when native cytochrome c was added as a substrate. Inhibition was almost complete when 1 mol of the Lys-13 modified arylazidocytochrome c was covalently bound to the enzyme per cytochrome c oxidase dimer (i.e., congruent to 280 000 daltons). Covalent binding of either derivative with lipid (low-affinity site) had very little effect on the overall electron transfer activity of cytochrome c oxidase. These results are discussed in terms of current theories of cytochrome c-cytochrome c oxidase interactions.

Abstract
In erythrocytes the reduction of oxidized hemoglobin (methemoglobin) is dependent upon an electron transport reaction between cytochrome b5 and methemoglobin. These two proteins are believed to form a complex whose bonding is principally determined by complementary charge interactions between acidic groups of cytochrome b5 and basic groups of hemoglobin. In order to refine this model, three surface lysyl hemoglobin variants--namely Hb N Baltimore beta 95 (FG2) Lys leads to Glu, Hb I Toulouse beta 66 (E10) Lys leads to Glu, and Hb I Philadelphia alpha 16 (A14) Lys leads to Glu--have been studied with respect to their reducibility and ability to bind cytochrome b5. In the two former variants, the substituted amino acids are located near the heme crevice; in the third one the substitution lies far from it. Substitutions of lysine for glutamic acid in positions beta 66 and beta 95 perturb the formation of the cytochrome b5--hemoglobin complex and result in a dramatic impairment of the cytochrome b5-mediated reduction, whereas the same mutation in position alpha 16 has no effect. We conclude that the lysine residues in positions beta 66 and beta 95 are directly involved in the binding of cytochrome b5. The three-dimensional structure of hemoglobin suggests that the cytochrome b5-binding domain of hemoglobin is constituted by four lysine residues surrounding the heme crevice in both alpha and beta chains. Similarities with other interacting hemoproteins are discussed.
