Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a serious health issue for women worldwide and there is still no suitable treatment option. AA005, a structurally simplified mimic of natural Annonaceous acetogenins, presents outstanding properties with impressive cytotoxicity and cell-type selective actions. The present study was aimed at evaluating the potential of AA005 as a therapeutic agent for TNBC. AA005 potently inhibited the growth of TNBC cells at 50 nM level. Inspired by the finding of the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) tumor suppressor, the effect of AA005 on aerobic glycolysis was investigated in TNBC MDA-MB-468 cells. A short-term AA005 exposure markedly suppressed mitochondrial function in MDA-MB-468 cells, thus activating the aerobic glycolysis to lessen the risk of decreased ATP generation in mitochondria. Prolonging the incubation time of AA005 clearly weakened the aerobic glycolysis in the cells. This was in part attributed to the PI3K-AKT pathway inactivation and subsequent declined glucose uptake. As a consequence, the energy supply was completely cut from the two major energy-producing pathways. Further experiments showed that AA005 resulted in irreversible damage on cell activity including cell cycle and growth, inducing mitochondrial oxidative stress and ultimately leading to cell death. In addition, the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of AA005 was proved on 4T1 xenograft tumor mice model. Our data demonstrate that AA005 exhibited a great potential for future clinical applications in TNBC therapy.

J Biol Chem 2022; 298:101602. [PMID: 35063503 PMCID: PMC8861642 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.101602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), a crucial enzyme in energy metabolism, captures the redox potential energy from NADH oxidation/ubiquinone reduction to create the proton motive force used to drive ATP synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation. High-resolution single-particle electron cryo-EM analyses have provided detailed structural knowledge of the catalytic machinery of complex I, but not of the molecular principles of its energy transduction mechanism. Although ubiquinone is considered to bind in a long channel at the interface of the membrane-embedded and hydrophilic domains, with channel residues likely involved in coupling substrate reduction to proton translocation, no structures with the channel fully occupied have yet been described. Here, we report the structure (determined by cryo-EM) of mouse complex I with a tight-binding natural product acetogenin inhibitor, which resembles the native substrate, bound along the full length of the expected ubiquinone-binding channel. Our structure reveals the mode of acetogenin binding and the molecular basis for structure-activity relationships within the acetogenin family. It also shows that acetogenins are such potent inhibitors because they are highly hydrophobic molecules that contain two specific hydrophilic moieties spaced to lock into two hydrophilic regions of the otherwise hydrophobic channel. The central hydrophilic section of the channel does not favor binding of the isoprenoid chain when the native substrate is fully bound but stabilizes the ubiquinone/ubiquinol headgroup as it transits to/from the active site. Therefore, the amphipathic nature of the channel supports both tight binding of the amphipathic inhibitor and rapid exchange of the ubiquinone/ubiquinol substrate and product.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA mutations in genes encoding respiratory complex I polypeptides can cause Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. Toxics affecting oxidative phosphorylation system can also cause mitochondrial optic neuropathy. Some complex I inhibitors found in edible plants might differentially interact with these pathologic mutations and modify their penetrance. To analyze this interaction, we have compared the effect of rotenone, capsaicin and rolliniastatin-1 on cybrids harboring the most frequent Leber hereditary optic neuropathy mutations and found that m.3460G > A mutation increases rotenone resistance but capsaicin and rolliniastatin-1 susceptibility. Thus, to explain the pathogenicity of mitochondrial diseases due to mitochondrial DNA mutations, their potential interactions with environment factors will have to be considered.

Abstract
Respiratory Complex I from E. coli may exist in two interconverting forms: resting (R) and active (A). The R/A transition of purified, solubilized Complex I occurring upon turnover was studied employing two different fluorescent probes, Annine 6+, and NDB-acetogenin. NADH-induced fluorescent changes of both dyes bound to solubilized Complex I from E. coli were characterized as a function of the protein:dye ratio, temperature, ubiquinone redox state and the enzyme activity. Analysis of this data combined with time-resolved optical measurements of Complex I activity and spectral changes indicated two ubiquinone-binding sites; a possibility of reduction of the tightly-bound quinone in the resting state and reduction of the loosely-bound quinone in the active state is discussed. The results also indicate that upon the activation Complex I undergoes conformational changes which can be mapped to the junction of the hydrophilic and membrane domains in the region of the assumed acetogenin-binding site.

Abstract
There are a variety of chemicals which regulate the functions of bacterial and mitochondrial complex I. Some of them, such as rotenone and piericidin A, have been indispensable molecular tools in mechanistic studies on complex I. A large amount of experimental data characterizing the actions of complex I inhibitors has been accumulated so far. Recent X-ray crystallographic structural models of entire complex I may be helpful to carefully interpret this data. We herein focused on recent hot topics on complex I inhibitors and the subjects closely connected to these inhibitors, which may provide useful information not only on the structural and functional aspects of complex I, but also on drug design targeting this enzyme. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Respiratory complex I, edited by Volker Zickermann and Ulrich Brandt.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that amilorides bind to the quinone binding pocket of bovine mitochondrial complex I, not to the hitherto suspected Na⁺/H⁺ antiporter-like subunits (ND2, ND4, and ND5) [Murai, M., et al. (2015) Biochemistry 54, 2739-2746]. To characterize the binding position of amilorides within the pocket in more detail, we conducted specific chemical labeling [alkynylation (-C≡CH)] of complex I via ligand-directed tosyl (LDT) chemistry using a newly synthesized amide-type amiloride AAT as a LDT chemistry reagent. The inhibitory potency of AAT, in terms of its IC50 value, was markedly higher (∼1000-fold) than that of prototypical guanidine-type amilorides such as commercially available EIPA and benzamil. Detailed proteomic analyses in combination with click chemistry revealed that the chemical labeling occurred at Asp160 of the 49 kDa subunit (49 kDa Asp160). This labeling was significantly suppressed in the presence of an excess amount of other amilorides or ordinary inhibitors such as quinazoline and acetogenin. Taking into consideration the fact that 49 kDa Asp160 was also specifically labeled by LDT chemistry reagents derived from acetogenin [Masuya, T., et al. (2014) Biochemistry 53, 2307-2317, 7816-7823], we found this aspartic acid to elicit very strong nucleophilicity in the local protein environment. The structural features of the quinone binding pocket in bovine complex I are discussed on the basis of this finding.

Abstract
Amilorides, well-known inhibitors of Na(+)/H(+) antiporters, were previously shown to inhibit bacterial and mitochondrial NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (complex I) but were markedly less active for complex I. Because membrane subunits ND2, ND4, and ND5 of bovine complex I are homologous to Na(+)/H(+) antiporters, amilorides have been thought to bind to any or all of the antiporter-like subunits; however, there is currently no direct experimental evidence that supports this notion. To identify the binding site of amilorides in bovine complex I, we synthesized two photoreactive amilorides (PRA1 and PRA2), which have a photoreactive azido (-N3) group and terminal alkyne (-C≡CH) group at the opposite ends of the molecules, respectively, and conducted photoaffinity labeling with bovine heart submitochondrial particles. The terminal alkyne group allows various molecular tags to covalently attach to it via Cu(+)-catalyzed click chemistry, thereby allowing purification and/or detection of the labeled peptides. Proteomic analyses revealed that PRA1 and PRA2 label none of the antiporter-like subunits; they specifically label the accessory subunit B14.5a and core subunit 49 kDa (N-terminal region of Thr25-Glu115), respectively. Suppressive effects of ordinary inhibitors (bullatacin, fenpyroximate, and quinazoline), which bind to the putative quinone binding pocket, on labeling were fairly different between the B14.5a and 49 kDa subunits probably because the binding positions of the three inhibitors differ within the pocket. The results of this study clearly demonstrate that amilorides inhibit complex I activity by occupying the quinone binding pocket rather than directly blocking translocation of protons through the antiporter-like subunits (ND2, ND4, and ND5). The accessory subunit B14.5a may be located adjacent to the N-terminal region of the 49 kDa subunits. The structural features of the quinone binding pocket in bovine complex I were discussed on the basis of these results.

Abstract
![]()
The NuoD segment (homologue of mitochondrial
49 kDa subunit) of
the proton-translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (complex I/NDH-1)
from Escherichia coli is in the hydrophilic domain
and bears many highly conserved amino acid residues. The three-dimensional
structural model of NDH-1 suggests that the NuoD segment, together
with the neighboring subunits, constitutes a putative quinone binding
cavity. We used the homologous DNA recombination technique to clarify
the role of selected key amino acid residues of the NuoD segment.
Among them, residues Tyr273 and His224 were considered candidates
for having important interactions with the quinone headgroup. Mutant
Y273F retained partial activity but lost sensitivity to capsaicin-40.
Mutant H224R scarcely affected the activity, suggesting that this
residue may not be essential. His224 is located in a loop near the
N-terminus of the NuoD segment (Gly217–Phe227) which is considered
to form part of the quinone binding cavity. In contrast to the His224
mutation, mutants G217V, P218A, and G225V almost completely lost the
activity. One region of this loop is positioned close to a cytosolic
loop of the NuoA subunit in the membrane domain, and together they
seem to be important in keeping the quinone binding cavity intact.
The structural role of the longest helix in the NuoD segment located
behind the quinone binding cavity was also investigated. Possible
roles of other highly conserved residues of the NuoD segment are discussed.

Abstract
The energy-converting NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, respiratory complex I, couples the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone with the translocation of protons across the membrane. Electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography revealed the two-part structure of the enzyme complex. A peripheral arm extending into the aqueous phase catalyzes the electron transfer reaction. Accordingly, this arm contains the redox-active cofactors, namely one flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and up to ten iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters. A membrane arm embedded in the lipid bilayer catalyzes proton translocation by a yet unknown mechanism. The binding site of the substrate (ubi) quinone is located at the interface of the two arms. The oxidation of one NADH is coupled with the translocation of four protons across the membrane. In this review, the binding of the substrates, the intramolecular electron transfer, the role of individual Fe/S clusters and the mechanism of proton translocation are discussed in the light of recent data obtained from our laboratory.

Abstract
The proton-translocating NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (complex I/NDH-1) is the first and largest enzyme of the respiratory chain which has a central role in cellular energy production and is implicated in many human neurodegenerative diseases and aging. It is believed that the peripheral domain of complex I/NDH-1 transfers the electron from NADH to Quinone (Q) and the redox energy couples the proton translocation in the membrane domain. To investigate the mechanism of the proton translocation, in a series of works we have systematically studied all membrane subunits in the Escherichia coli NDH-1 by site-directed mutagenesis. In this mini-review, we have summarized our strategy and results of the mutagenesis by depicting residues essential for proton translocation, along with those for subunit connection. It is suggested that clues to understanding the driving forces of proton translocation lie in the similarities and differences of the membrane subunits, highlighting the communication of essential charged residues among the subunits. A possible proton translocation mechanism with all membrane subunits operating in unison is described.

Abstract
Complex I is the first and largest enzyme of the respiratory chain and has a central role in cellular energy production through the coupling of NADH:ubiquinone electron transfer to proton translocation. It is also implicated in many common human neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we report the first crystal structure of the entire, intact complex I (from Thermus thermophilus) at 3.3 Å resolution. The structure of the 536-kDa complex comprises 16 different subunits, with a total of 64 transmembrane helices and 9 iron-sulphur clusters. The core fold of subunit Nqo8 (ND1 in humans) is, unexpectedly, similar to a half-channel of the antiporter-like subunits. Small subunits nearby form a linked second half-channel, which completes the fourth proton-translocation pathway (present in addition to the channels in three antiporter-like subunits). The quinone-binding site is unusually long, narrow and enclosed. The quinone headgroup binds at the deep end of this chamber, near iron-sulphur cluster N2. Notably, the chamber is linked to the fourth channel by a 'funnel' of charged residues. The link continues over the entire membrane domain as a flexible central axis of charged and polar residues, and probably has a leading role in the propagation of conformational changes, aided by coupling elements. The structure suggests that a unique, out-of-the-membrane quinone-reaction chamber enables the redox energy to drive concerted long-range conformational changes in the four antiporter-like domains, resulting in translocation of four protons per cycle.

Abstract
In respiring organisms the major energy transduction flux employs the transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient as a physical link between exergonic redox reactions and endergonic ADP phosphorylation. Establishing the gradient involves electrogenic, transmembrane H(+) translocation by the membrane-embedded respiratory complexes. Among others, Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is the most structurally complex and functionally enigmatic respiratory enzyme; its molecular mechanism is as yet unknown. Here we highlight recent progress and discuss the catalytic events during Complex I turnover in relation to their role in energy conversion and to the enzyme structure.

Abstract
The notion of a mobile pool of coenzyme Q (CoQ) in the lipid bilayer has changed with the discovery of respiratory supramolecular units, in particular the supercomplex comprising complexes I and III; in this model, the electron transfer is thought to be mediated by tunneling or microdiffusion, with a clear kinetic advantage on the transfer based on random collisions. The CoQ pool, however, has a fundamental function in establishing a dissociation equilibrium with bound quinone, besides being required for electron transfer from other dehydrogenases to complex III. The mechanism of CoQ reduction by complex I is analyzed regarding recent developments on the crystallographic structure of the enzyme, also in relation to the capacity of complex I to generate superoxide. Although the mechanism of the Q-cycle is well established for complex III, involvement of CoQ in proton translocation by complex I is still debated. Some additional roles of CoQ are also examined, such as the antioxidant effect of its reduced form and the capacity to bind the permeability transition pore and the mitochondrial uncoupling proteins. Finally, a working hypothesis is advanced on the establishment of a vicious circle of oxidative stress and supercomplex disorganization in pathological states, as in neurodegeneration and cancer.

Abstract
The prokaryotic proton-translocating NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (NDH-1) is an L-shaped membrane-bound enzyme that contains 14 subunits (NuoA-NuoN or Nqo1-Nqo14). All subunits have their counterparts in the eukaryotic enzyme (complex I). NDH-1 consists of two domains: the peripheral arm (NuoB, -C, -D, -E, -F, -G, and -I) and the membrane arm (NuoA, -H, -J, -K, -L, -M, and -N). In Escherichia coli NDH-1, the hydrophilic subunits NuoC/Nqo5/30k and NuoD/Nqo4/49k are fused together in a single polypeptide as the NuoCD subunit. The NuoCD subunit is the only subunit that does not bear a cofactor in the peripheral arm. While some roles for inhibitor and quinone association have been reported for the NuoD segment, structural and functional roles of the NuoC segment remain mostly elusive. In this work, 14 highly conserved residues of the NuoC segment were mutated and 21 mutants were constructed using the chromosomal gene manipulation technique. From the enzymatic assays and immunochemical and blue-native gel analyses, it was found that residues Glu-138, Glu-140, and Asp-143 that are thought to be in the third α-helix are absolutely required for the energy-transducing NDH-1 activities and the assembly of the whole enzyme. Together with available information for the hydrophobic subunits, we propose that Glu-138, Glu-140, and Asp-143 of the NuoC segment may have a pivotal role in the structural stability of NDH-1.

Abstract
Biochemical characterization of the inhibition mechanism of Deltalac-acetogenins synthesized in our laboratory indicated that they are a new type of inhibitor of bovine heart mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) [Murai, M., et al. (2006) Biochemistry 45, 9778-9787]. To identify the binding site of Deltalac-acetogenins with a photoaffinity labeling technique, we synthesized a photoreactive Deltalac-acetogenin ([(125)I]diazinylated Deltalac-acetogenin, [(125)I]DAA) which has a small photoreactive diazirine group attached to a pharmacophore, the bis-THF ring moiety. Characterization of the inhibitory effects of DAA on bovine complex I revealed unique features specific to, though not completely the same as those of, the original Deltalac-acetogenin. Using [(125)I]DAA, we carried out photoaffinity labeling with bovine heart submitochondrial particles. Analysis of the photo-cross-linked protein by Western blotting and immunoprecipitation revealed that [(125)I]DAA binds to the membrane subunit ND1 with high specificity. The photo-cross-linking to the ND1 subunit was suppressed by an exogenous short-chain ubiquinone (Q(2)) in a concentration-dependent manner. Careful examination of the fragmentation patterns of the cross-linked ND1 generated by limited proteolysis using lysylendopeptidase, endoprotease Asp-N, or trypsin and their changes in the presence of the original Deltalac-acetogenin strongly suggested that the cross-linked residues are located at two different sites in the third matrix-side loop connecting the fifth and sixth transmembrane helices.

Abstract
Complex I is the first enzyme of the respiratory chain and has a central role in cellular energy production, coupling electron transfer between NADH and quinone to proton translocation by an unknown mechanism. Dysfunction of complex I has been implicated in many human neurodegenerative diseases. We have determined the structure of its hydrophilic domain previously. Here, we report the alpha-helical structure of the membrane domain of complex I from Escherichia coli at 3.9 A resolution. The antiporter-like subunits NuoL/M/N each contain 14 conserved transmembrane (TM) helices. Two of them are discontinuous, as in some transporters. Unexpectedly, subunit NuoL also contains a 110-A long amphipathic alpha-helix, spanning almost the entire length of the domain. Furthermore, we have determined the structure of the entire complex I from Thermus thermophilus at 4.5 A resolution. The L-shaped assembly consists of the alpha-helical model for the membrane domain, with 63 TM helices, and the known structure of the hydrophilic domain. The architecture of the complex provides strong clues about the coupling mechanism: the conformational changes at the interface of the two main domains may drive the long amphipathic alpha-helix of NuoL in a piston-like motion, tilting nearby discontinuous TM helices, resulting in proton translocation.

Abstract
Quinones are essential components in most cell and organelle bioenergetic processes both for direct electron and/or proton transfer reactions but also as means to regulate various bioenergetic processes by sensing cell redox states. To understand how quinones interact with proteins, it is important to have tools for identifying and characterizing quinone binding sites. In this work three different photo-reactive azidoquinones were synthesized, two of which are novel compounds, and the methods of synthesis was improved. The reactivity of the azidoquinones was first tested with model peptides, and the adducts formed were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The added mass detected was that of the respective azidoquinone minus N(2). Subsequently, the biological activity of the three azidoquinones was assessed, using three enzyme systems of different complexity, and the ability of the compounds to inactivate the enzymes upon illumination with long wavelength UV light was investigated. The soluble flavodoxin-like protein WrbA could only use two of the azidoquinones as substrates, whereas respiratory chain Complexes I and II could utilize all three compounds as electron acceptors. Complex II, purified in detergent, was very sensitive to illumination also in the absence of azidoquinones, making the 'therapeutic window' in that enzyme rather narrow. In membrane bound Complex I, only two of the compounds inactivated the enzyme, whereas illumination in the presence of the third compound left enzyme activity essentially unchanged. Since unspecific labeling should be equally effective for all the compounds, this demonstrates that the observed inactivation is indeed caused by specific labeling.

Abstract
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the entry enzyme of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. To obtain the structural information on inhibitor/quinone binding sites, we synthesized [3H]benzophenone-asimicin ([3H]BPA), a photoaffinity analogue of asimicin, which belongs to the acetogenin family known as the most potent complex I inhibitor. We found that [3H]BPA was photo-crosslinked to ND2, ND1 and ND5 subunits, by the three dimensional separation (blue-native/doubled SDS-PAGE) of [3H]BPA-treated bovine heart submitochondrial particles. The cross-linking was blocked by rotenone. This is the first finding that ND2 was photo-crosslinked with a potent complex I inhibitor, suggesting its involvement in the inhibitor/quinone-binding.
