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.

Abstract
Respiratory complex I plays a crucial role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain and shows promise as a therapeutic target for various human diseases. While most studies focus on inhibiting complex I at the Q-site, little is known about inhibitors targeting other sites within the complex. In this study, we demonstrate that diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), a N-site inhibitor, uniquely affects the stability of complex I by reacting with its flavin cofactor FMN. Treatment with DPI blocks the final stage of complex I assembly, leading to the complete and reversible degradation of complex I in different cellular models. Growing cells in medium lacking the FMN precursor riboflavin or knocking out the mitochondrial flavin carrier gene SLC25A32 results in a similar complex I degradation. Overall, our findings establish a direct connection between mitochondrial flavin homeostasis and complex I stability and assembly, paving the way for novel pharmacological strategies to regulate respiratory complex I.

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.

Abstract
Respiratory complex I is an essential metabolic enzyme that uses the energy from NADH oxidation and ubiquinone reduction to translocate protons across an energy transducing membrane and generate the proton motive force for ATP synthesis. Under specific conditions, complex I can also catalyze the reverse reaction, Δp-linked oxidation of ubiquinol to reduce NAD+ (or O2), known as reverse electron transfer (RET). Oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species generated during RET underpins ischemia reperfusion injury, but as RET relies on several converging metabolic pathways, little is known about its mechanism or regulation. Here, we demonstrate Δp-linked RET through complex I in a synthetic proteoliposome system for the first time, enabling complete kinetic characterization of RET catalysis. We further establish the capability of our system by showing how RET in the mammalian enzyme is regulated by the active-deactive transition and by evaluating RET by complex I from several species in which direct assessment has not been otherwise possible. We thus provide new insights into the reversibility of complex I catalysis, an important but little understood mechanistic and physiological feature.

Abstract
The flavin mononucleotide (FMN) cofactor of respiratory complex I occupies a key position in the electron transport chain. Here, the electrons coming from NADH start the sequence of oxidoreduction reactions, which drives the generation of the proton-motive force necessary for ATP synthesis. The overall architecture and the general catalytic proprieties of the FMN site are mostly well established. However, several aspects regarding the complex I flavin cofactor are still unknown. For example, the flavin binding to the N-module, the NADH-oxidizing portion of complex I, lacks a molecular description. The dissociation of FMN from the enzyme is beginning to emerge as an important regulatory mechanism of complex I activity and ROS production. Finally, how mitochondria import and metabolize FMN is still uncertain. This review summarizes the current knowledge on complex I flavin cofactor and discusses the open questions for future research.

Abstract
Pathologies associated with tissue ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in highly metabolizing organs such as the brain and heart are leading causes of death and disability in humans. Molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction during acute injury in I/R are tissue-specific, but their details are not completely understood. A metabolic shift and accumulation of substrates of reverse electron transfer (RET) such as succinate are observed in tissue ischemia, making mitochondrial complex I of the respiratory chain (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) the most vulnerable enzyme to the following reperfusion. It has been shown that brain complex I is predisposed to losing its flavin mononucleotide (FMN) cofactor when maintained in the reduced state in conditions of RET both in vitro and in vivo. Here we investigated the process of redox-dependent dissociation of FMN from mitochondrial complex I in brain and heart mitochondria. In contrast to the brain enzyme, cardiac complex I does not lose FMN when reduced in RET conditions. We proposed that the different kinetics of FMN loss during RET is due to the presence of brain-specific long 50 kDa isoform of the NDUFV3 subunit of complex I, which is absent in the heart where only the canonical 10 kDa short isoform is found. Our simulation studies suggest that the long NDUFV3 isoform can reach toward the FMN binding pocket and affect the nucleotide affinity to the apoenzyme. For the first time, we demonstrated a potential functional role of tissue-specific isoforms of complex I, providing the distinct molecular mechanism of I/R-induced mitochondrial impairment in cardiac and cerebral tissues. By combining functional studies of intact complex I and molecular structure simulations, we defined the critical difference between the brain and heart enzyme and suggested insights into the redox-dependent inactivation mechanisms of complex I during I/R injury in both tissues.

Abstract
Mitochondrial membrane-embedded redox proteins are classically perceived as deterministic "electron transport chain" (ETC) arrays cum proton pumps; and oxygen is seen as an "immobile terminal electron acceptor." This is untenable because: (1) there are little free protons to be pumped out of the matrix; (2) proton pumping would be highly endergonic; (3) ETC-chemiosmosis-rotary ATP synthesis proposal is "irreducibly complex"/"non-evolvable" and does not fit with mitochondrial architecture or structural/distribution data of the concerned proteins/components; (4) a plethora of experimental observations do not conform to the postulates/requisites; for example, there is little evidence for viable proton-pumps/pH-gradient in mitochondria, trans-membrane potential (TMP) is non-fluctuating/non-trappable, oxygen is seen to give copious "diffusible reactive (oxygen) species" (DRS/DROS) in milieu, etc. Quite contrarily, the newly proposed murburn model's tenets agree with known principles of energetics/kinetics, and builds on established structural data and reported observations. In this purview, oxygen is needed to make DRS, the principal component of mitochondrial function. Complex V and porins respectively serve as proton-inlet and turgor-based water-exodus portals, thereby achieving organellar homeostasis. Complexes I to IV possess ADP-binding sites and their redox-centers react/interact with O2 /DRS. At/around these complexes, DRS cross-react or activate/oxidize ADP/Pi via fast thermogenic one-electron reaction(s), condensing to form two-electron stabilized products (H2 O2 /H2 O/ATP). The varied architecture and distribution of components in mitochondria validate DRS as (i) the coupling agent of oxidative reactions and phosphorylations, and (ii) the primary reason for manifestation of TMP in steady-state. Explorations along the new precepts stand to provide greater insights on mitochondrial function and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Proteins of the NUDIX hydrolase (NUDT) superfamily that cleave organic pyrophosphates are found in all classes of organisms, from archaea and bacteria to higher eukaryotes. In mammals, NUDTs exhibit a wide range of functions and are characterized by different substrate specificity and intracellular localization. They control the concentration of various metabolites in the cell, including key regulatory molecules such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), ADP-ribose, and their derivatives. In this review, we discuss the role of NUDT proteins in the metabolism of NAD and ADP-ribose in human and animal cells.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant fungal pathogens is becoming increasingly serious due to overuse of antifungals. Antimicrobial peptides have potent activity against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including fungi, and are considered a potential new class of antifungals. In this study, we examined the activities of the newly designed peptides P-113Du and P-113Tri, together with their parental peptide P-113, against the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. The results showed that these peptides inhibit mitochondrial complex I, specifically NADH dehydrogenase, of the electron transport chain. Moreover, P-113Du and P-113Tri also block alternative NADH dehydrogenases. Currently, most inhibitors of the mitochondrial complex I are small molecules or artificially-designed antibodies. Here, we demonstrated novel functions of antimicrobial peptides in inhibiting the mitochondrial complex I of C. albicans, providing insight in the development of new antifungal agents.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) is a ubiquitous nuclear enzyme that regulates DNA repair and genomic stability. In oxidative genotoxic conditions, PARP1 activity is enhanced significantly, leading to excessive depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and mitochondrial dysfunction. We hypothesized that PARP1-induced NAD+ depletion inhibits NAD+-dependent sirtuin deacetylase activity, thereby interfering with the mitochondrial regulator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α). The DNA alkylator, N'-Nitro-N-nitroso-N-methylguanidine (MNNG), induced NAD+ depletion, inhibited sirtuin deacetylase activity and enhanced acetylation of PGC-1α. This was associated with reduced interaction between PGC-1α and nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1), which is a nuclear transcription factor that drives mitochondrial replication by regulating mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM). MNNG also reduced binding of NRF-1 to the tfam upstream promoter region and reduced TFAM mRNA, mitochondrial DNA copy number and respiratory function. MNNG effects were mitigated by PARP1 inhibition and genetic loss of function, by enhancing intracellular NAD+ levels, and with sirtuin (SIRT1) gain of function, supporting a mechanism dependent on PARP1 activity, NAD+-depletion and SIRT1 inhibition. This and other work from our group supports a destructive sequelae of events related to PARP1-induced sirtuin inhibition and sirtuin-mediated regulation of transcription.

Abstract
The inner mitochondrial membrane protein complexes (I-V) and prokaryotic respiratory machinery are examined for a deeper understanding of their structure-function correlations and dynamics. In silico analysis of the structure of complexes I-IV, docking studies and erstwhile literature confirm that they carry sites which are in close proximity to DROS (diffusible reactive oxygen species) generating redox centers. These findings provide supportive evidence for the newly proposed oxygen-centric chemical-coupling mechanism (murburn concept), wherein DROS catalyzes the esterification of inorganic phosphate to ADP. Further, in a reductionist system, we demonstrate that a DROS (like superoxide) can effectively esterify inorganic phosphate to ADP. The impact of these findings and the interactive dynamics of classical inhibitors (rotenone and cyanide), uncouplers (dinitrophenol and uncoupling protein) and other toxins (atractyloside and oligomycin) are briefly discussed. Highlights • Earlier perception: Complexes (I-IV) pump protons and Complex V make ATP (aided by protons) • Herein: Respiratory molecular machinery is probed for new structure-function correlations • Analyses: Quantitative arguments discount proton-centric ATP synthesis in mitochondria and bacteria • In silico data: ADP-binding sites and O2/ diffusible reactive oxygen species (DROS)-accessible channels are unveiled in respiratory proteins • In vitro data: Using luminometry, ATP synthesis is demonstrated from ADP, Pi and superoxide • Inference: Findings agree with decentralized ADP-Pi activation via oxygen-centric murburn scheme Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Mitochondrial respiratory supercomplexes, comprising complexes I, III, and IV, are the minimal functional units of the electron transport chain. Assembling the individual complexes into supercomplexes may stabilize them, provide greater spatiotemporal control of respiration, or, controversially, confer kinetic advantages through the sequestration of local quinone and cytochrome c pools (substrate channeling). Here, we have incorporated an alternative quinol oxidase (AOX) into mammalian heart mitochondrial membranes to introduce a competing pathway for quinol oxidation and test for channeling. AOX substantially increases the rate of NADH oxidation by O2 without affecting the membrane integrity, the supercomplexes, or NADH-linked oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, the quinol generated in supercomplexes by complex I is reoxidized more rapidly outside the supercomplex by AOX than inside the supercomplex by complex III. Our results demonstrate that quinone and quinol diffuse freely in and out of supercomplexes: substrate channeling does not occur and is not required to support respiration.

Abstract
Amyloid-beta peptide accumulation in the brain is one of the main hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. The amyloid aggregation process is associated with the generation of free radical species responsible for mitochondrial impairment and DNA damage that in turn activates poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1 (PARP-1). PARP-1 catalyzes the poly(ADP-ribosylation), a post-translational modification of proteins, cleaving the substrate NAD+ and transferring the ADP-ribose moieties to the enzyme itself or to an acceptor protein to form branched polymers of ADP-ribose. In this paper, we demonstrate that a mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in Alzheimer's transgenic mice TgCRND8, in SH-SY5Y treated with amyloid-beta and in 7PA2 cells. Moreover, PARP-1 activation contributes to the functional energetic decline affecting cytochrome oxidase IV protein levels, oxygen consumption rates, and membrane potential, resulting in cellular bioenergetic deficit. We also observed, for the first time, an increase of pyruvate kinase 2 expression, suggesting a modulation of the glycolytic pathway by PARP-1. PARP-1 inhibitors are able to restore both mitochondrial impairment and pyruvate kinase 2 expression. The overall data here presented indicate a pivotal role for this enzyme in the bioenergetic network of neuronal cells and open new perspectives for investigating molecular mechanisms underlying energy charge decline in Alzheimer's disease. In this scenario, PARP-1 inhibitors might represent a novel therapeutic intervention to rescue cellular energetic metabolism.

Abstract
NAD+ catabolism and mitochondrial dynamics are important parts of normal mitochondrial function and are both reported to be disrupted in aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and acute brain injury. While both processes have been extensively studied there has been little reported on how the mechanisms of these two processes are linked. This review focuses on how downstream NAD+ catabolism via NUDIX hydrolases affects mitochondrial dynamics under pathologic conditions. Additionally, several potential targets in mitochondrial dysfunction and fragmentation are discussed, including the roles of mitochondrial poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1(mtPARP1), AMPK, AMP, and intra-mitochondrial GTP metabolism. Mitochondrial and cytosolic NUDIX hydrolases (NUDT9α and NUDT9β) can affect mitochondrial and cellular AMP levels by hydrolyzing ADP- ribose (ADPr) and subsequently altering the levels of GTP and ATP. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is activated after DNA damage, which depletes NAD+ pools and results in the PARylation of nuclear and mitochondrial proteins. In the mitochondria, ADP-ribosyl hydrolase-3 (ARH3) hydrolyzes PAR to ADPr, while NUDT9α metabolizes ADPr to AMP. Elevated AMP levels have been reported to reduce mitochondrial ATP production by inhibiting the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT), allosterically activating AMPK by altering the cellular AMP: ATP ratio, and by depleting mitochondrial GTP pools by being phosphorylated by adenylate kinase 3 (AK3), which uses GTP as a phosphate donor. Recently, activated AMPK was reported to phosphorylate mitochondria fission factor (MFF), which increases Drp1 localization to the mitochondria and promotes mitochondrial fission. Moreover, the increased AK3 activity could deplete mitochondrial GTP pools and possibly inhibit normal activity of GTP-dependent fusion enzymes, thus altering mitochondrial dynamics.

Abstract
Respiratory complex I couples electron transfer between NADH and ubiquinone to proton translocation across an energy-transducing membrane to support the proton-motive force that drives ATP synthesis. The proton-pumping stoichiometry of complex I (i.e. the number of protons pumped for each two electrons transferred) underpins all mechanistic proposals. However, it remains controversial and has not been determined for any of the bacterial enzymes that are exploited as model systems for the mammalian enzyme. Here, we describe a simple method for determining the proton-pumping stoichiometry of complex I in inverted membrane vesicles under steady-state ADP-phosphorylating conditions. Our method exploits the rate of ATP synthesis, driven by oxidation of NADH or succinate with different sections of the respiratory chain engaged in catalysis as a proxy for the rate of proton translocation and determines the stoichiometry of complex I by reference to the known stoichiometries of complexes III and IV. Using vesicles prepared from mammalian mitochondria (from Bos taurus) and from the bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans, we show that four protons are pumped for every two electrons transferred in both cases. By confirming the four-proton stoichiometry for mammalian complex I and, for the first time, demonstrating the same value for a bacterial complex, we establish the utility of P. denitrificans complex I as a model system for the mammalian enzyme. P. denitrificans is the first system described in which mutagenesis in any complex I core subunit may be combined with quantitative proton-pumping measurements for mechanistic studies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is a bioenergetic enzyme that transfers electrons from NADH to quinone, conserving the energy of this reaction by contributing to the proton motive force. While the importance of NADH oxidation to mitochondrial aerobic respiration is well documented, the contribution of complex I to bacterial electron transport chains has been tested in only a few species. Here, we analyze the function of two phylogenetically distinct complex I isozymes in Rhodobacter sphaeroides, an alphaproteobacterium that contains well-characterized electron transport chains. We found that R. sphaeroides complex I activity is important for aerobic respiration and required for anaerobic dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) respiration (in the absence of light), photoautotrophic growth, and photoheterotrophic growth (in the absence of an external electron acceptor). Our data also provide insight into the functions of the phylogenetically distinct R. sphaeroidescomplex I enzymes (complex IA and complex IE) in maintaining a cellular redox state during photoheterotrophic growth. We propose that the function of each isozyme during photoheterotrophic growth is either NADH synthesis (complex IA) or NADH oxidation (complex IE). The canonical alphaproteobacterial complex I isozyme (complex IA) was also shown to be important for routing electrons to nitrogenase-mediated H2 production, while the horizontally acquired enzyme (complex IE) was dispensable in this process. Unlike the singular role of complex I in mitochondria, we predict that the phylogenetically distinct complex I enzymes found across bacterial species have evolved to enhance the functions of their respective electron transport chains. IMPORTANCE Cells use a proton motive force (PMF), NADH, and ATP to support numerous processes. In mitochondria, complex I uses NADH oxidation to generate a PMF, which can drive ATP synthesis. This study analyzed the function of complex I in bacteria, which contain more-diverse and more-flexible electron transport chains than mitochondria. We tested complex I function in Rhodobacter sphaeroides, a bacterium predicted to encode two phylogenetically distinct complex I isozymes. R. sphaeroides cells lacking both isozymes had growth defects during all tested modes of growth, illustrating the important function of this enzyme under diverse conditions. We conclude that the two isozymes are not functionally redundant and predict that phylogenetically distinct complex I enzymes have evolved to support the diverse lifestyles of bacteria.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the primary source for energy generation in the cell, which manifests itself in the form of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Nicotinamide dinucleotide (NADH) molecules are the first to enter the so-called electron transport chain or ETC of the mitochondria. The ETC represents a chain of reducing agents organized into four major protein-metal complexes (I-IV) that utilize the flow of electrons to drive the production of ATP. An additional integral protein that is related to oxidative phosphorylation is ATP synthase, referred to as complex V. Complex V carries out ATP synthesis as a result of the electron flow through the ETC. The coupling of electron flow from NADH to molecular oxygen to the production of ATP represents a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. In this review, we describe mainly the bioenergetic properties of mitochondria, such as those found in the ETC that may be altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Increasing evidence points to several mitochondrial functions that are affected in AD. Furthermore, it is becoming apparent that mitochondria are a potential target for treatment in early-stage AD. With growing interest in the mitochondria as a target for AD, it has been hypothesized that deficit in this organelle may be at the heart of the progression of AD itself. The role of mitochondria in AD may be significant and is emerging as a main area of AD research.

Abstract
Complex I (CI) deficiency is the most common respiratory chain defect representing more than 30% of mitochondrial diseases. CI is an L-shaped multi-subunit complex with a peripheral arm protruding into the mitochondrial matrix and a membrane arm. CI sequentially assembled into main assembly intermediates: the P (pumping), Q (Quinone) and N (NADH dehydrogenase) modules. In this study, we analyzed 11 fibroblast cell lines derived from patients with inherited CI deficiency resulting from mutations in the nuclear or mitochondrial DNA and impacting these different modules. In patient cells carrying a mutation located in the matrix arm of CI, blue native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) revealed a significant reduction of fully assembled CI enzyme and an accumulation of intermediates of the N module. In these cell lines with an assembly defect, NADH dehydrogenase activity was partly functional, even though CI was not fully assembled. We further demonstrated that this functional N module was responsible for ROS production through the reduced flavin mononucleotide. Due to the assembly defect, the FMN site was not re-oxidized leading to a significant oxidative stress in cell lines with an assembly defect. These findings not only highlight the relationship between CI assembly and oxidative stress, but also show the suitability of BN-PAGE analysis in evaluating the consequences of CI dysfunction. Moreover, these data suggest that the use of antioxidants may be particularly relevant for patients displaying a CI assembly defect.

Abstract
Reduction of Complex l (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase l) from Escherichia coli by NADH was investigated optically by means of an ultrafast stopped-flow approach. A locally designed microfluidic stopped-flow apparatus with a low volume (0.21Jl) but a long optical path (10 mm) cuvette allowed measurements in the time range from 270 ).IS to seconds. The data acquisition system collected spectra in the visible range every 50 )JS. Analysis of the obtained time-resolved spectral changes upon the reaction of Complex I with NADH revealed three kinetic components with characteristic times of <270 ).IS, 0.45-0.9 ms and 3-6 ms, reflecting reduction of different FeS clusters and FMN. The rate of the major ( T = 0.45-0.9 ms) component was slower than predicted by electron transfer theory for the reduction of all FeS clusters in the intraprotein redox chain. This delay of the reaction was explained by retention of NAD+ in the catalytic site. The fast optical changes in the time range of 0.27- 1.5 ms were not altered significantly in the presence of 1 0-fold excess of NAD+ over NADH. The data obtained on the NuoF E95Q variant of Complex I shows that the single amino acid replacement in the catalytic site caused a strong decrease of NADH binding and/or the hydride transfer from bound NADH to FMN.

Mitochondria along with other cellular organelles of eukaryotes contribute significantly to ROS formation and utilization. This review is a critical account of the mitochondrial ROS production and methods for their registration. The physiological and pathophysiological significance of the mitochondrially produced ROS are discussed.

Abstract
Changes in respiratory activity, transmembrane electric potential, and ATP synthesis as induced by additions of limited amounts of ADP and P(i) to tightly coupled inverted (inside-out) Paracoccus denitrificans plasma membrane vesicles were traced. The pattern of the changes was qualitatively the same as those observed for coupled mitochondria during the classical State 4-State 3-State 4 transition. Bacterial vesicles devoid of energy-dependent permeability barriers for the substrates of oxidation and phosphorylation were used as a simple experimental model to investigate two possible mechanisms of respiratory control: (i) in State 4 phosphoryl transfer potential (ATP/ADP × P(i)) is equilibrated with proton-motive force by reversibly operating F(1)·F(o)-ATPase (thermodynamic control); (ii) in State 4 apparent "equilibrium" is reached by unidirectional operation of proton motive force-activated F(1)·F(o)-ATP synthase. The data support the kinetic mechanism of the respiratory control phenomenon.

Abstract
Mitochondrial metabolism is intimately connected to the universal coenzyme NAD. In addition to its role in redox reactions of energy transduction, NAD serves as substrate in regulatory reactions that lead to its degradation. Importantly, all types of the known NAD-consuming signalling reactions have been reported to take place in mitochondria. These reactions include the generation of second messengers, as well as post-translational protein modifications such as ADP-ribosylation and protein deacetylation. Therefore, the availability and redox state of NAD emerged as important factors in the regulation of mitochondrial metabolism. Molecular mechanisms and targets of mitochondrial NAD-dependent protein deacetylation and mono-ADP-ribosylation have been established, whereas poly-ADP-ribosylation and NAD-derived messenger generation in the organelles await in-depth characterization. In this review, we highlight the major NAD-dependent reactions occurring within mitochondria and describe their metabolic and regulatory functions. We also discuss the metabolic fates of the NAD-degradation products, nicotinamide and ADP-ribose, and how the mitochondrial NAD pool is restored.

Abstract
![]()
NADH:ubiquinone
oxidoreductase (complex I) is a complicated respiratory
enzyme that conserves the energy from NADH oxidation, coupled to ubiquinone
reduction, as a proton motive force across the mitochondrial inner
membrane. During catalysis, NADH oxidation by a flavin mononucleotide
is followed by electron transfer to a chain of iron–sulfur
clusters. Alternatively, the flavin may be reoxidized by hydrophilic
electron acceptors, by artificial electron acceptors in kinetic studies,
or by oxygen and redox-cycling molecules to produce reactive oxygen
species. Here, we study two steps in the mechanism of NADH oxidation
by complex I. First, molecular fragments of NAD(H), tested as flavin-site
inhibitors or substrates, reveal that the adenosine moiety is crucial
for binding. Nicotinamide-containing fragments that lack the adenosine
do not bind, and ADP-ribose binds more strongly than NAD+, suggesting that the nicotinamide is detrimental to binding. Second,
the primary kinetic isotope effects from deuterated nicotinamide nucleotides
confirm that hydride transfer is from the pro-S position
and reveal that hydride transfer, along with NAD+ dissociation,
is partially rate-limiting. Thus, the transition state energies are
balanced so that no single step in NADH oxidation is completely rate-limiting.
Only at very low NADH concentrations does weak NADH binding limit
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreduction, and at the high nucleotide concentrations
of the mitochondrial matrix, weak nucleotide binding constants assist
product dissociation. Using fast nucleotide reactions and a balance
between the nucleotide binding constants and concentrations, complex
I combines fast and energy-conserving NADH oxidation with minimal
superoxide production from the nucleotide-free site.

Abstract
The rotenone-insensitive NADH:hexaammineruthenium III (HAR) oxidoreductase reactions catalyzed by bovine heart and Yarrowia lipolytica submitochondrial particles or purified bovine complex I are stimulated by ATP and other purine nucleotides. The soluble fraction of mammalian complex I (FP) and prokaryotic complex I homolog NDH-1 in Paracoccus denitrificans plasma membrane lack stimulation of their activities by ATP. The stimulation appears as a decrease in apparent K(m) values for NADH and HAR. Thus, the "accessory" subunits of eukaryotic complex I bear an allosteric ATP-binding site.

Abstract
The initial rates of ATP synthesis catalyzed by tightly coupled Paracoccus denitrificans plasma membrane were measured. The reaction rate was hyperbolically dependent on the substrates, ADP and inorganic phosphate (P(i)). Apparent K(m) values for ADP and P(i) were 7-11 and 60-120 µM, respectively, at saturating concentration of the second substrate (pH 8.0, saturating Mg²(+)). These values were dependent on coupling efficiency. The substrate binding in the ATP synthesis reaction proceeds randomly: K(m) value for a given substrate was independent of the concentration of the other one. A decrease of electrochemical proton gradient by the addition of malonate (when succinate served as the respiratory substrate) or by a decrease of steady-state level of NADH (when NADH served as the respiratory substrate) resulted in a proportional decrease of the maximal rates and apparent K(m) values for ADP and P(i) (double substitution, ping-pong mechanism). The kinetic scheme for ATP synthesis was compared with that described previously for the proton-translocating ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by the same enzyme preparation (T. V. Zharova and A. D. Vinogradov (2006) Biochemistry, 45, 14552-14558).

Abstract
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is a major source of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria and a contributor to cellular oxidative stress. In isolated complex I the reduced flavin is known to react with molecular oxygen to form predominantly superoxide, but studies using intact mitochondria contend that superoxide may result from a semiquinone species that responds to the proton-motive force (Δp) also. Here, we use bovine heart submitochondrial particles to show that a single mechanism describes superoxide production by complex I under all conditions (during both NADH oxidation and reverse electron transfer). NADH-induced superoxide production is inhibited by complex I flavin-site inhibitors but not by inhibitors of ubiquinone reduction, and it is independent of Δp. Reverse electron transfer (RET) through complex I in submitochondrial particles, driven by succinate oxidation and the Δp created by ATP hydrolysis, reduces the flavin, leading to NAD+ and O2 reduction. RET-induced superoxide production is inhibited by both flavin-site and ubiquinone-reduction inhibitors. The potential dependence of NADH-induced superoxide production (set by the NAD+ potential) matches that of RET-induced superoxide production (set by the succinate potential and Δp), and they both match the potential dependence of the flavin. Therefore, both NADH- and RET-induced superoxide are produced by the flavin, according to the same molecular mechanism. The unified mechanism describes how reactive oxygen species production by complex I responds to changes in cellular conditions. It establishes a route to understanding causative connections between the enzyme and its pathological effects and to developing rational strategies for addressing them.

Abstract
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is a complicated respiratory chain enzyme that conserves the energy from NADH oxidation, coupled to ubiquinone reduction, as a proton motive force across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Alternatively, NADH oxidation, by the flavin mononucleotide in complex I, can be coupled to the reduction of hydrophilic electron acceptors, in non-energy-transducing reactions. The reduction of molecular oxygen and hydrophilic quinones leads to the production of reactive oxygen species, the reduction of nicotinamide nucleotides leads to transhydrogenation, and "artificial" electron acceptors are widely used to study the mechanism of NADH oxidation. Here, we use a combined modeling strategy to accurately describe data from three flavin-linked electron acceptors (molecular oxygen, APAD(+), and ferricyanide), in the presence and absence of a competitive inhibitor, ADP-ribose. Our combined ping-pong (or ping-pong-pong) mechanism comprises the Michaelis-Menten equation for the reactions of NADH and APAD(+), simple dissociation constants for nonproductive nucleotide-enzyme complexes (defined for specific flavin oxidation states), and second-order rate constants for the reactions of ferricyanide and oxygen. The NADH-dependent parameters are independent of the identity of the electron acceptor. In contrast, a further flavin-linked acceptor, hexaammineruthenium(III), does not obey ping-pong-pong kinetics, and alternative sites for its reaction are discussed. Our analysis provides kinetic and thermodynamic information about the reactions of the flavin active site in complex I that is relevant to understanding the physiologically relevant mechanisms of NADH oxidation and superoxide formation.

Abstract
Although the classical redox functions of co-enzyme NAD(+) are firmly established in metabolism, there are numerous enzymes that catalyze cleavage of NAD(+) to yield free ADP-ribose (ADPr) or related metabolites, whose functions remain largely unknown. Here we show that the Nudix (nucleoside diphosphate linked to another moiety X) hydrolase Ysa1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a major regulator of cellular ADPr and O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (OAADPr). OAADPr is the direct product of NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylases (sirtuins) and is readily converted to ADPr. Ysa1 cleaves ADPr/OAADPr into ribose phosphate/acetyl-ribose phosphate and AMP. In cells lacking Ysa1 (Deltaysa1), ADPr and OAADPr levels increased approximately 50%, with a corresponding decrease in AMP. Strikingly, Deltaysa1 cells display higher resistance to exogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) and 40% lower basal levels of endogenous ROS, compared with wild type. The biochemical basis for these differences in ROS-related phenotypes was investigated, and the results provide evidence that increased ADPr/OAADPr levels protect cells via the following two pathways: (i) lower ROS production through inhibition of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, and (ii) generation of higher levels of NADPH to suppress ROS damage. The latter occurs through diverting glucose into the pentose phosphate pathway by ADPr inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, a central enzyme of glycolysis.

Abstract
Replacement of glutamate 95 for glutamine in the NADH- and FMN-binding NuoF subunit of E. coli Complex I decreased NADH oxidation activity 2.5-4.8 times depending on the used electron acceptor. The apparent K(m) for NADH was 5.2 and 10.4 microM for the mutant and wild type, respectively. Analysis of the inhibitory effect of NAD(+) on activity showed that the E95Q mutation caused a 2.4-fold decrease of K(i)(NAD+) in comparison to the wild type enzyme. ADP-ribose, which differs from NAD(+) by the absence of the positively charged nicotinamide moiety, is also a competitive inhibitor of NADH binding. The mutation caused a 7.5-fold decrease of K(i)(ADP-ribose) relative to wild type enzyme. Based on these findings we propose that the negative charge of Glu95 accelerates turnover of Complex I by electrostatic interaction with the negatively charged phosphate groups of the substrate nucleotide during operation, which facilitates release of the product NAD(+). The E95Q mutation was also found to cause a positive shift of the midpoint redox potential of the FMN, from -350 mV to -310 mV, which suggests that the negative charge of Glu95 is also involved in decreasing the midpoint potential of the primary electron acceptor of Complex I.

Abstract
The quantitative data on the binding affinity of NADH, NAD(+), and their analogues for complex I as emerged from the steady-state kinetics data and from more direct studies under equilibrium conditions are summarized and discussed. The redox-dependency of the nucleotide binding and the reductant-induced change of FMN affinity to its tight non-covalent binding site indicate that binding (dissociation) of the substrate (product) may energetically contribute to the proton-translocating activity of complex I.

Abstract
A very potent and specific inhibitor of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), a derivative of NADH (NADH-OH) has recently been discovered (Kotlyar, A. B., Karliner, J. S., and Cecchini, G. (2005) FEBS Lett. 579, 4861-4866). Here we present a quantitative analysis of the interaction of NADH-OH and other nucleotides with oxidized and reduced complex I in tightly coupled submitochondrial particles. Both the rate of the NADH-OH binding and its affinity to complex I are strongly decreased in the presence of succinate. The effect of succinate is completely reversed by rotenone, antimycin A, and uncoupler. The relative affinity of ADP-ribose, a competitive inhibitor of NADH oxidation, is also shown to be significantly affected by enzyme reduction (KD of 30 and 500 microM for oxidized and the succinate-reduced enzyme, respectively). Binding of NADH-OH is shown to abolish the succinate-supported superoxide generation by complex I. Gradual inhibition of the rotenone-sensitive uncoupled NADH oxidase and the reverse electron transfer activities by NADH-OH yield the same final titration point (approximately 0.1 nmol/mg of protein). The titration of NADH oxidase appears as a straight line, whereas the titration of the reverse reaction appears as a convex curve. Possible models to explain the different titration patterns for the forward and reverse reactions are briefly discussed.

Abstract
The number of NADH dehydrogenases and their role in energy transduction in
Escherchia coli
have been under debate for a long time. Now it is evident that
E. coli
possesses two respiratory NADH dehydrogenases, or NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductases, that have traditionally been called NDH-I and NDH-II. This review describes the properties of these two NADH dehydrogenases, focusing on the mechanism of the energy converting NADH dehydrogenase as derived from the high resolution structure of the soluble part of the enzyme. In
E. coli
, complex I operates in aerobic and anaerobic respiration, while NDH-II is repressed under anaerobic growth conditions. The insufficient recycling of NADH most likely resulted in excess NADH inhibiting tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and the glyoxylate shunt.
Salmonella enterica
serovar Typhimurium complex I mutants are unable to activate ATP-dependent proteolysis under starvation conditions. NDH-II is a single subunit enzyme with a molecular mass of 47 kDa facing the cytosol. Despite the absence of any predicted transmembrane segment it has to be purified in the presence of detergents, and the activity of the preparation is stimulated by an addition of lipids.

Abstract
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the largest and most complicated enzyme of aerobic electron transfer. The mechanism how it uses redox energy to pump protons across the bioenergetic membrane is still not understood. Here we determined the pumping stoichiometry of mitochondrial complex I from the strictly aerobic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. With intact mitochondria, the measured value of 3.8H(+)/2e indicated that four protons are pumped per NADH oxidized. For purified complex I reconstituted into proteoliposomes we measured a very similar pumping stoichiometry of 3.6H(+)/2e . This is the first demonstration that the proton pump of complex I stayed fully functional after purification of the enzyme.

Abstract
Ischemic preconditioning is characterized by resistance to ischemia reperfusion injury in response to previous short ischemic episodes, a protective effect that can be mimicked pharmacologically. The underlying mechanism of protection remains controversial and requires greater understanding before it can be fully exploited therapeutically. To investigate the overall effect of preconditioning on the myocardial proteome, isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes were treated with drugs known to induce preconditioning, adenosine or diazoxide (each at 100 micromol/L for 60 minutes). Their protein profiles were then compared with vehicle-treated controls (n=4 animals per treatment) using a multitiered 2D gel electrophoresis approach. Of 28 significantly altered protein spots, 19 nonredundant proteins were identified (5 spots remained unidentified). The majority of these proteins are involved in mitochondrial energetics, including subunits of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and oxidative phosphorylation complexes. These changes were not indiscriminate, with only a small number of enzymes or complex subunits altered, indicating a very specific and targeted affect of these 2 preconditioning mimetics. Among the changes were shifts in the extent of posttranslational modification of 4 proteins. One of these, the adenosine-induced phosphorylation of the ATP synthase beta subunit, was fully characterized with the identification of 5 novel phosphorylation sites. This proteomics approach provides an overall assessment of the cellular response to pharmacological treatment with adenosine and diazoxide and identifies a distinct subset of enzymes and protein complex subunit that may underlie the preconditioned phenotype.

Abstract
NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (complex I) pumps protons across the inner membrane of mitochondria or the plasma membrane of many bacteria. Human complex I is involved in numerous pathological conditions and degenerative processes. With 14 central and up to 32 accessory subunits, complex I is among the largest membrane-bound protein assemblies. The peripheral arm of the L-shaped molecule contains flavine mononucleotide and eight or nine iron-sulfur clusters as redox prosthetic groups. Seven of the iron-sulfur clusters form a linear electron transfer chain between flavine and quinone. In most organisms, the seven most hydrophobic subunits forming the core of the membrane arm are encoded by the mitochondrial genome. Most central subunits have evolved from subunits of different hydrogenases and bacterial Na+/H+ antiporters. This evolutionary origin is reflected in three functional modules of complex I. The coupling mechanism of complex I most likely involves semiquinone intermediates that drive proton pumping through redox-linked conformational changes.

Abstract
Superoxide production by inside-out coupled bovine heart submitochondrial particles, respiring with succinate or NADH, was measured. The succinate-supported production was inhibited by rotenone and uncouplers, showing that most part of superoxide produced during succinate oxidation is originated from univalent oxygen reduction by Complex I. The rate of the superoxide (O2*-)) production during respiration at a high concentration of NADH (1 mM) was significantly lower than that with succinate. Moreover, the succinate-supported O2*- production was significantly decreased in the presence of 1 mM NADH. The titration curves, i.e., initial rates of superoxide production versus NADH concentration, were bell-shaped with the maximal rate (at 50 microM NADH) approaching that seen with succinate. Both NAD+ and acetyl-NAD+ inhibited the succinate-supported reaction with apparent Ki's close to their Km's in the Complex I-catalyzed succinate-dependent energy-linked NAD+ reduction (reverse electron transfer) and NADH:acetyl-NAD+ transhydrogenase reaction, respectively. We conclude that: (i) under the artificial experimental conditions the major part of superoxide produced by the respiratory chain is formed by some redox component of Complex I (most likely FMN in its reduced or free radical form); (ii) two different binding sites for NADH (F-site) and NAD+ (R-site) in Complex I provide accessibility of the substrates-nucleotides to the enzyme red-ox component(s); F-site operates as an entry for NADH oxidation, whereas R-site operates in the reverse electron transfer and univalent oxygen reduction; (iii) it is unlikely that under the physiological conditions (high concentrations of NADH and NAD+) Complex I is responsible for the mitochondrial superoxide generation. We propose that the specific NAD(P)H:oxygen superoxide (hydrogen peroxide) producing oxidoreductase(s) poised in equilibrium with NAD(P)H/NAD(P)+ couple should exist in the mitochondrial matrix, if mitochondria are, indeed, participate in ROS-controlled processes under physiologically relevant conditions.

Abstract
Alkaline incubation of NADH results in the formation of a very potent inhibitor of complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Mass spectroscopy (molecular mass equal to 696) and absorption spectroscopy suggest that the inhibitor is derived from attachment of two oxygen atoms to the nicotinamide moiety of NADH. The inhibitor is competitive with respect to NADH with a K(i) of about 10(-8)M. The inhibitor efficiently suppresses NADH-oxidase, NADH-artificial acceptor reductase, and NADH-quinone reductase reactions catalyzed by submitochondrial particles, as well as the reactions catalyzed by either isolated complex I or the three subunit flavoprotein fragment of complex I.

Abstract
Besides major NADH-, succinate-, and other substrate oxidase reactions resulting in four-electron reduction of oxygen to water, the mitochondrial respiratory chain catalyzes one-electron reduction of oxygen to superoxide radical O(2)(-.) followed by formation of hydrogen peroxide. In this paper the superoxide generation by Complex I in tightly coupled bovine heart submitochondrial particles is quantitatively characterized. The rate of superoxide formation during Deltamu(H(+))-controlled respiration with succinate depends linearly on oxygen concentration and contributes approximately 0.4% of the overall oxidase activity at saturating (0.25 mM) oxygen. The major part of one-electron oxygen reduction during succinate oxidation (approximately 80%) proceeds via Complex I at the expense of its Deltamu(H(+))-dependent reduction (reverse electron transfer). At saturating NADH the rate of O(2)(-.) formation is substantially smaller than that with succinate as the substrate. In contrast to NADH oxidase, the rate-substrate concentration dependence for the superoxide production shows a maximum at low (approximately 50 microM) concentrations of NADH. NAD+ and NADH inhibit the succinate-supported superoxide generation. Deactivation of Complex I results in almost complete loss of its NADH-ubiquinone reductase activity and in increase in NADH-dependent superoxide generation. A model is proposed according to which complex I has two redox active nucleotide binding sites. One site (F) serves as an entry for the NADH oxidation and the other one (R) serves as an exit during either the succinate-supported NAD+ reduction or superoxide generation or NADH-ferricyanide reductase reaction.

Abstract
The mechanism coupling electron transfer and proton pumping in respiratory complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) has not been established, but it has been suggested that it involves conformational changes. Here, the influence of substrates on the conformation of purified complex I from Escherichia coli was studied by cross-linking and electron microscopy. When a zero-length cross-linking reagent was used, the presence of NAD(P)H, in contrast to that of NAD+, prevented the formation of cross-links between the hydrophilic subunits of the complex, including NuoB, NuoI, and NuoCD. Comparisons using different cross-linkers suggested that NuoB, which is likely to coordinate the key iron-sulfur cluster N2, is the most mobile subunit. The presence of NAD(P)H led also to enhanced proteolysis of subunit NuoG. These data indicate that upon NAD(P)H binding, the peripheral arm of the complex adopts a more open conformation, with increased distances between subunits. Single particle analysis showed the nature of this conformational change. The enzyme retains its L-shape in the presence of NADH, but exhibits a significantly more open or expanded structure both in the peripheral arm and, unexpectedly, in the membrane domain also.

The catalytic properties of the rotenone-sensitive NADH:ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) in bovine heart submitochondrial particles and in inside-out vesicles derived from Paracoccus denitrificans and Rhodobacter capsulatus were compared. The prokaryotic enzymes catalyze the NADH oxidase and NADH:quinone reductase reactions with similar kinetic parameters as those for the mammalian Complex I, except for lower apparent affinities for the substrates--nucleotides. Unidirectional competitive inhibition of NADH oxidation by ADP-ribose, previously discovered for submitochondrial particles, was also evident for tightly coupled P. denitrificans vesicles, thus suggesting that a second, NAD(+)-specific site is present in the simpler prokaryotic enzyme. The inhibitor sensitivity of the forward and reverse electron transfer reactions was compared. In P. denitrificans and Bos taurus vesicles different sensitivities to rotenone and Triton X-100 for the forward and reverse electron transfer reactions were found. In bovine heart preparations, both reactions showed the same sensitivity to piericidin, and the inhibition was titrated as a straight line. In P. denitrificans, the forward and reverse reactions show different sensitivity to piericidin and the titrations of both activities were curvilinear with apparent I(50) (expressed as mole of inhibitor per mole of enzyme) independent of the enzyme concentration. This behavior is explained by a model involving two different sites rapidly interacting with piericidin within the hydrophobic phase.

Abstract
Lauryl sulfate inhibits the Deltamu;(H)(+)-dependent reverse electron transfer reactions catalyzed by NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) in coupled bovine heart submitochondrial particles and in vesicles derived from Paracoccus denitrificans. The inhibitor affects neither NADH oxidase (coupled or uncoupled) nor NADH:ferricyanide reductase and succinate oxidase activities at the concentrations that selectively prevent the succinate-supported, rotenone-sensitive NAD(+) or ferricyanide reduction. Possible uncoupling effects of the inhibitor are ruled out: in contrast to oligomycin and gramicidin, which increases and decreases the rate of the reverse electron transfer, respectively, in parallel with their coupling and uncoupling effects, lauryl sulfate does not affect the respiratory control ratio. A mechanistic model for the unidirectional effect of lauryl sulfate on the Complex I catalyzed oxidoreduction is proposed.

Abstract
Bovine-heart NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.5.3; Complex I) is the first and most complicated enzyme in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Biochemistry textbooks and virtually all literature on this enzyme state that it contains one FMN and at least four iron-sulfur clusters. We show here that this statement is incorrect as it is based on erroneous protein determinations. Quantitative amino acid analysis of the bovine Complex I, to our knowledge the first reported thus far, shows that the routine protein-determination methods used for the bovine Complex I overestimate its protein content by up to twofold. The FMN content of the preparations was determined to be at least 1.3-1.4 mol FMN/mol Complex I. The spin concentration of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal ascribed to iron-sulfur cluster N2 was determined and accounted for 1.3-1.6 clusters per molecule of Complex I. These results experimentally confirm the hypothesis [FEBS Lett. 485 (2000) 1] that the bovine Complex I contains two FMN groups and two clusters N2. Also the protein content of preparations of the soluble NAD(+)-reducing [NiFe]-hydrogenase (EC 1.12.1.2) from Ralstonia eutropha, which shows clear evolutionary relationships with Complex I, scores too high by the colorimetric protein-determination methods. Determination of the FMN content and the spin concentration of the EPR signal of the [2Fe-2S] cluster shows that this hydrogenase also contains two FMN groups. A third enzyme (Ech), the membrane-bound [NiFe]-hydrogenase from Methanosarcina barkeri which shows an even stronger evolutionary relationship with Complex I, behaves rather normal in protein determinations and contains no detectable acid-extractable FMN in purified preparations.

Abstract
We show that the rate at which electrons pass through the respiratory chain in mitochondria and respiring prokaryotic cells is described by the product of three terms, one describing electron donation, one acceptance, and a third, the thermodynamic drive. We apply the theory of nonequilibrium thermodynamics in the context of the chemiosmotic model of proton translocation and energy conservation. This approach leads to a closed-form expression that predicts steady-state electron flux as a function of chemical conditions and the proton motive force across the mitochondrial inner membrane or prokaryotic cytoplasmic membrane. The rate expression, derived considering reverse and forward electron flow, is the first to account for both thermodynamic and kinetic controls on the respiration rate. The expression can be simplified under specific conditions to give rate laws of various forms familiar in cellular physiology and microbial ecology. The expression explains the nonlinear dependence of flux on electrical potential gradient, its hyperbolic dependence on substrate concentration, and the inhibiting effects of reaction products. It provides a theoretical basis for investigating life under unusual conditions, such as microbial respiration in alkaline waters.

Abstract
Tightly coupled inside-out vesicles were prepared from Paracoccus denitrificans cells (SPP, sub-Paracoccus particles) and characterized kinetically. The rate of NADH oxidation, catalysed by SPP, increases 6-8 times on addition of gramicidin. The vesicles are capable of catalysing Delta micro H+-dependent reverse electron transfer from quinol to NAD+. The kinetic parameters of the NADH-oxidase and the reverse electron transfer carried out by membrane-bound P. denitrificans complex I were estimated and compared with those of the mitochondrial enzyme. The data demonstrate that catalytic properties of the dinucleotide-binding site of the bacterial and mitochondrial complex I are almost identical, pointing out similar organization of the site in mammals and P. denitrificans. Inhibition of the bacterial complex I by a specific inhibitor of Q reduction, rotenone, is very different from that of the mitochondrial enzyme. The inhibitor is capable of suppressing the NADH oxidation reaction only at micromolar concentrations, while the activity of mitochondrial enzyme is suppressed by nanomolar concentrations of rotenone. In contrast to the mitochondrial enzyme, rotenone, even at concentrations as high as 10 micro m, does not inhibit the reverse, Delta micro H+-dependent NAD+-reductase reaction on SPP.

Abstract
The proton-translocating NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the largest and least understood respiratory complex. The intrinsic redox components (FMN and iron-sulfur clusters) reside in the promontory part of the complex. Ubiquinone is the most possible key player in proton-pumping reactions in the membrane part. Here we report the presence of three distinct semiquinone species in complex I in situ, showing widely different spin relaxation profiles. As our first approach, the semiquinone forms were trapped during the steady state NADH-ubiquinone-1 (Q1) reactions in the tightly coupled, activated bovine heart submitochondrial particles, and were named SQNf (fast-relaxing component), SQNS (slow-relaxing), and SQNx (very slow relaxing). This indicates the presence of at least three different quinone-binding sites in complex I. In the current study, special attention was placed on the SQNf, because of its high sensitivities to DeltamicroH+ and to specific complex I inhibitors (rotenone and piericidin A) in a unique manner. Rotenone inhibits the forward electron transfer reaction more strongly than the reverse reaction, while piericidine A inhibits both reactions with a similar potency. Rotenone quenched the SQNf signal at a much lower concentration than that required to quench the slower relaxing components (SQNs and SQNx). A close correlation was shown between the line shape alteration of the g// = 2.05 signal of the cluster N2 and the quenching of the SQNf signal, using two different experimental approaches: (1) changing the DeltamicroH+ poise by the oligomycin titration which decreases proton leak across the SMP membrane; (2) inhibiting the reverse electron transfer with different concentrations of rotenone. These new experimental results further strengthen our earlier proposal that a direct spin-coupling occurs between SQNf and cluster N2. We discuss the implications of these findings in connection with the energy coupling mechanism in complex .

Abstract
Hydrogenases have clear evolutionary links to the much more complex NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductases (Complex I). Certain membrane-bound [NiFe]-hydrogenases presumably pump protons. From a detailed comparison of hydrogenases and Complex I, it is concluded here that the TYKY subunit in these enzymes is a special 2[4Fe-4S] ferredoxin, which functions as the electrical driving unit for a proton pump. The comparison further revealed that the flavodoxin fold from [NiFe]-hydrogenases is presumably conserved in the PSST subunit of Complex I. It is proposed that bovine Complex I and the soluble NAD(+)-reducing hydrogenase from Ralstonia eutropha each contain a second FMN group.

Abstract
Direct photoaffinity labeling of purified bovine heart NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) with 32P-labeled NAD(H), NADP(H) and ADP has shown that five polypeptides become labeled, with molecular masses of 51, 42, 39, 30, and 18-20 kDa. The 51 and the 30-kDa polypeptides were labeled with either [32P]NAD(H), [32P]NADP(H) or [beta-32P]ADP. The 42-kDa polypeptide was labeled with [32P]NAD(H) and to a small extent with [beta-32P]ADP. It was not labeled with [32P]NADP(H). The 39-kDa polypeptide was labeled with [32P]NADPH and to a small extent with [beta-32P]ADP. Our previous studies had shown that this subunit also binds NADP, but not NAD(H) [Yamaguchi, M., Belogrudov, G.I. & Hatefi, Y. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 8094-8098]. The 18-20-kDa polypeptide was labeled only with [32P]NADPH. Among these polypeptides, the 51-kDa subunit is known to contain FMN and a [4Fe-4S] cluster, and is the NAD(P)H-binding subunit of the primary dehydrogenase domain of complex I. The possible roles of the other nucleotide-binding subunits of complex I have been discussed.

Abstract
Arylazido-beta-alanine ADP-ribose, a photoreactive analogue of ADP-ribose, was synthesized. In the dark, arylazido-beta-alanine ADP-ribose acts as a competitive reversible inhibitor of mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase with a K(i) of 37 microM. Upon photolysis, arylazido-beta-alanine ADP-ribose is converted to a potent irreversible active site-directed inhibitor of the enzyme. Photo-induced inhibition of membrane-bound NADH-ubiquinone reductase by arylazido-beta-alanine ADP-ribose is incomplete and results in a 20-fold reduction of the NADH oxidase and 2.5-fold reduction of the energy-dependent NAD(+) reductase activities. The arylazido-beta-alanine ADP-ribose resistant activities (direct and reverse) of the enzyme are characterized by a two orders of magnitude lower affinity to the corresponding substrates compared to those of the uninhibited NADH-ubiquinone reductase. A different kinetic behavior of the inhibited and native enzyme can be explained by invoking the two catalytically competent nucleotide-binding sites model of NADH-ubiquinone reductase.
