Abstract
Cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury induces excessive emission of deleterious reactive O2 and N2 species (ROS/RNS), including the non-radical oxidant peroxynitrite (ONOO-) that can cause mitochondria dysfunction and cell death. In this study, we explored whether IR injury in isolated hearts induces tyrosine nitration of adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) and alters its interaction with the voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1). We found that IR injury induced tyrosine nitration of ANT and that exposure of isolated cardiac mitochondria to ONOO- induced ANT tyrosine, Y81, nitration. The exposure of isolated cardiac mitochondria to ONOO- also led ANT to form high molecular weight proteins and dissociation of ANT from VDAC1. We found that IR injury in isolated hearts, hypoxic injury in H9c2 cells, and ONOO- treatment of H9c2 cells and isolated mitochondria, each decreased mitochondrial bound-hexokinase II (HK II), which suggests that ONOO- caused HK II to dissociate from mitochondria. Moreover, we found that mitochondria exposed to ONOO- induced VDAC1 oligomerization which may decrease its binding with HK II. We have reported that ONOO- produced during cardiac IR injury induced tyrosine nitration of VDAC1, which resulted in conformational changes of the protein and increased channel conductance associated with compromised cardiac function on reperfusion. Thus, our results imply that ONOO- produced during IR injury and hypoxic stress impeded HK II association with VDAC1. ONOO- exposure nitrated mitochondrial proteins and also led to cytochrome c (cyt c) release from mitochondria. In addition, in isolated mitochondria exposed to ONOO- or obtained after IR, there was significant compromise in mitochondrial respiration and delayed repolarization of membrane potential during oxidative (ADP) phosphorylation. Taken together, ONOO- produced during cardiac IR injury can nitrate tyrosine residues of two key mitochondrial membrane proteins involved in bioenergetics and energy transfer to contribute to mitochondrial and cellular dysfunction.

Abstract
The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (Ancp) is a paradigm of the mitochondrial carrier family (MCF); its members allow metabolic fluxes between mitochondria and the cytosol. The members of the MCF share numerous structural and functional characteristics. Ancp is very specifically inhibited by two classes of compounds, which stabilize the carrier in two different conformations involved in nucleotide transport. Resolution of the atomic structure of the bovine Ancp, in complex with one of its specific inhibitors, is that of the carrier open toward the intermembrane space. To gain insights into the interconversion from one conformation to the other, we introduced point mutations in the yeast carrier at positions Cys73 in the first matrix loop and Tyr97 and Gly298 in transmembrane helices 2 and 6. We demonstrate in this paper that they impair stabilization of the carrier in one conformation or the other, resulting in an almost complete inactivation of nucleotide transport in both cases. The results are discussed on the basis of the atomic structure of the conformation open to the cytosol. These mutant proteins could afford convenient tools for undertaking structural studies of both conformations of the yeast carrier.

Abstract
The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC), which has six transmembrane regions (TM) with cytosolic N- and C-termini, exchanges matrix ATP for cytosolic ADP in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Structural aspects of the bovine type 1 AAC (bAAC1) and the yeast type 2 AAC (yAAC2) are quite similar, whereas the molecular activity of yAAC2 is four times higher than that of bAAC1. To examine the relationship between the structure and the functional difference, substrate transport activities of serial chimeric proteins having N-terminal bAAC1 and C-terminal yAAC2 were estimated from growth activities of their yeast transformants on a medium containing non-fermentable glycerol. The chimera having the boundary of bAAC1 and yAAC2 between a TM and its C-terminal adjoining loop had activity, but chimera having the boundary between a TM and its N-sided loop did not. These results indicate that a set of a TM and its C-sided loop is important to the AAC function. In addition, the mutant, in which the first TM and its C-sided loop (the first matrix loop) in yAAC2 are replaced with those of bAAC1, exhibited a change in reactivity for a SH cross-linking reagent copper-o-phenanthroline, suggesting that the interaction of these regions is also involved in the structural feature of AAC. Because the mutant had similar transport activities to bAAC1, the structural property provided by the interaction between the first TM and the first matrix loop is probably involved in activity of AAC.

Abstract
The objective of the present investigation was to identify the substrate binding site(s) within the yeast mitochondrial citrate transport protein (CTP). Our strategy involved kinetically characterizing 30 single-Cys CTP mutants that we had previously constructed based on their hypothesized importance in the structure-based mechanism of this carrier. As part of these studies, a modified transport assay was developed that permitted, for the first time, the accurate determination of K(m) values that were elevated >100-fold compared with the Cys-less control value. We identified 10 single-Cys CTP mutants that displayed sharply elevated K(m) values (i.e. 5 to >300-fold). Each of these mutants displayed V(max) values that were reduced by > or = 98% and resultant catalytic efficiencies that were reduced by > or = 99.9%. Importantly, superposition of this functional data onto the three-dimensional homology-modeled CTP structure, which we previously had developed, revealed that nine of these ten residues form two topographically distinct clusters. Additional modeling showed that: (i) each cluster is capable of forming numerous hydrogen bonds with citrate and (ii) the two clusters are sufficiently distant from one another such that citrate is unlikely to interact with all of these residues at the same time. We deduced from these findings that the CTP contains at least two citrate binding sites per monomer, which are located at increasing depths within the translocation pathway. The identification of these sites, combined with an initial assessment of the citrate-amino acid side-chain interactions that may occur at these sites, substantially extends our understanding of CTP functioning at the molecular level.

Abstract
The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) has 6 transmembrane regions and 3 matrix loops. Our previous mutational study on the Cys residue in the LM1s of chimeric bovine type 1 AAC (yN-bAAC1), in which the N-terminal 11 amino acids of bovine type 1 AAC are substituted with the corresponding 26 amino acids of yeast type 2 AAC (yAAC2), and yAAC2 in the yeast expression system suggested the possibility of a different structural feature between their LM1s. In the present study, we compared the effects of the SH cross-linking reagent copper-o-phenanthroline (Cu(OP)(2)) on yN-bAAC1 and yAAC2 in order to study the difference between these LM1s of the 2 carriers. Cu(OP)(2) is known to cross-link 2 AAC molecules in a functional dimer via a Cys residue in each first matrix loop (LM1). yN-bAAC1 exhibited intra- and inter-molecular cross-linking, in agreement with the results of a previous study on the native bovine carrier and suggesting that yN-bAAC1 had the same structure as the native carrier. yAAC2 also showed intra- and inter-molecular cross-linking. However, the speed of formation of the inter-molecular cross-linking of yN-bAAC1 was faster than that of yAAC2, suggesting that the conformational state of the LM1 was different between the 2 carriers. In addition, we also studied the effects of AAC-specific inhibitors and solubilization with Triton X-100 on the cross-linking.
