Abstract
The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) is a membrane transporter that exchanges a cytosolic ADP for a matrix ATP. Atomic structures in an outward-facing (OF) form which binds an ADP from the intermembrane space have been solved by X-ray crystallography, and revealed their unique pseudo three-fold symmetry fold which is qualitatively different from pseudo two-fold symmetry of most transporters of which atomic structures have been solved. However, any atomic-level information on an inward-facing (IF) form, which binds an ATP from the matrix side and is fixed by binding of an inhibitor, bongkrekic acid (BA), is not available, and thus its alternating access mechanism for the transport process is unknown. Here, we report an atomic structure of the IF form predicted by atomic-level molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the alternating access transition with a recently developed accelerating technique. We successfully obtained a significantly stable IF structure characterized by newly formed well-packed and -organized inter-domain interactions through the accelerated simulations of unprecedentedly large conformational changes of the alternating access without a prior knowledge of the target protein structure. The simulation also shed light on an atomistic mechanism of the strict transport selectivity of adenosine nucleotides over guanosine and inosine ones. Furthermore, the IF structure was shown to bind ATP and BA, and thus revealed their binding mechanisms. The present study proposes a qualitatively novel view of the alternating access of transporters having the unique three-fold symmetry in atomic details and opens the way for rational drug design targeting the transporter in the dynamic functional cycle.

Abstract
The mechanisms of regulation of respiration and energy fluxes in the cells are analyzed based on the concepts of systems biology, non-equilibrium steady state kinetics and applications of Wiener’s cybernetic principles of feedback regulation. Under physiological conditions cardiac function is governed by the Frank-Starling law and the main metabolic characteristic of cardiac muscle cells is metabolic homeostasis, when both workload and respiration rate can be changed manifold at constant intracellular level of phosphocreatine and ATP in the cells. This is not observed in skeletal muscles. Controversies in theoretical explanations of these observations are analyzed. Experimental studies of permeabilized fibers from human skeletal muscle vastus lateralis and adult rat cardiomyocytes showed that the respiration rate is always an apparent hyperbolic but not a sigmoid function of ADP concentration. It is our conclusion that realistic explanations of regulation of energy fluxes in muscle cells require systemic approaches including application of the feedback theory of Wiener’s cybernetics in combination with detailed experimental research. Such an analysis reveals the importance of limited permeability of mitochondrial outer membrane for ADP due to interactions of mitochondria with cytoskeleton resulting in quasi-linear dependence of respiration rate on amplitude of cyclic changes in cytoplasmic ADP concentrations. The system of compartmentalized creatine kinase (CK) isoenzymes functionally coupled to ANT and ATPases, and mitochondrial-cytoskeletal interactions separate energy fluxes (mass and energy transfer) from signalling (information transfer) within dissipative metabolic structures – intracellular energetic units (ICEU). Due to the non-equilibrium state of CK reactions, intracellular ATP utilization and mitochondrial ATP regeneration are interconnected by the PCr flux from mitochondria. The feedback regulation of respiration occurring via cyclic fluctuations of cytosolic ADP, Pi and Cr/PCr ensures metabolic stability necessary for normal function of cardiac cells.

Abstract
Different from some more specialised short reviews, here a general although not encyclopaedic survey of the function, metabolic role, structure and mechanism of the ADP/ATP transport in mitochondria is presented. The obvious need for an "old fashioned" review comes from the gateway role in metabolism of the ATP transfer to the cytosol from mitochondria. Amidst the labours, 40 or more years ago, of unravelling the role of mitochondrial compartments and of the two membranes, the sequence of steps of how ATP arrives in the cytosol became a major issue. When the dust settled, a picture emerged where ATP is exported across the inner membrane in a 1:1 exchange against ADP and where the selection of ATP versus ADP is controlled by the high membrane potential at the inner membrane, thus uplifting the free energy of ATP in the cytosol over the mitochondrial matrix. Thus the disparate energy and redox states of the two major compartments are bridged by two membrane potential responsive carriers to enable their symbiosis in the eukaryotic cell. The advance to the molecular level by studying the binding of nucleotides and inhibitors was facilitated by the high level of carrier (AAC) binding sites in the mitochondrial membrane. A striking flexibility of nucleotide binding uncovered the reorientation of carrier sites between outer and inner face, assisted by the side specific high affinity inhibitors. The evidence of a single carrier site versus separate sites for substrate and inhibitors was expounded. In an ideal setting principles of transport catalysis were elucidated. The isolation of intact AAC as a first for any transporter enabled the reconstitution of transport for unravelling, independently of mitochondrial complications, the factors controlling the ADP/ATP exchange. Electrical currents measured with the reconstituted AAC demonstrated electrogenic translocation and charge shift of reorienting carrier sites. Aberrant or vital para-functions of AAC in basal uncoupling and in the mitochondrial pore transition were demonstrated in mitochondria and by patch clamp with reconstituted AAC. The first amino acid sequence of AAC and of any eukaryotic carrier furnished a 6-transmembrane helix folding model, and was the basis for mapping the structure by access studies with various probes, and for demonstrating the strong conformation changes demanded by the reorientation mechanism. Mutations served to elucidate the function of residues, including the particular sensitivity of ATP versus ADP transport to deletion of critical positive charge in AAC. After resisting for decades, at last the atomic crystal structure of the stabilised CAT-AAC complex emerged supporting the predicted principle fold of the AAC but showing unexpected features relevant to mechanism. Being a snapshot of an extreme abortive "c-state" the actual mechanism still remains a conjecture.

Abstract
The expression of mitochondrial and hydrogenosomal ADP/ATP carriers (AACs) from plants, rat and the anaerobic chytridiomycete fungus Neocallimastix spec. L2 in Escherichia coli allows a functional integration of the recombinant proteins into the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. For AAC1 and AAC2 from rat, apparent Km values of about 40 microm for ADP, and 105 microm or 140 microm, respectively, for ATP have been determined, similar to the data reported for isolated rat mitochondria. The apparent Km for ATP decreased up to 10-fold in the presence of the protonophore m-chlorocarbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone (CCCP). The hydrogenosomal AAC isolated from the chytrid fungus Neocallimastix spec. L2 exhibited the same characteristics, but the affinities for ADP (165 microm) and ATP (2.33 mm) were significantly lower. Notably, AAC1-3 from Arabidopsis thaliana and AAC1 from Solanum tuberosum (potato) showed significantly higher external affinities for both nucleotides (10-22 microm); they were only slightly influenced by CCCP. Studies on intact plant mitochondria confirmed these observations. Back exchange experiments with preloaded E. coli cells expressing AACs indicate a preferential export of ATP for all AACs tested. This is the first report of a functional integration of proteins belonging to the mitochondrial carrier family (MCF) into a bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. The technique described here provides a relatively simple and highly reproducible method for functional studies of individual mitochondrial-type carrier proteins from organisms that do not allow the application of sophisticated genetic techniques.

Abstract
The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) is generally believed to function as a homodimer (Wt. Wt). It remains unknown whether the two monomers possess two independent but fully anticooperative channels or they form a single central channel for nucleotide transport. Here we generated fusion proteins consisting of two tandem covalent-linked AAC monomers and studied the kinetics of ADP/ATP transport in reconstituted proteoliposomes. Functional 64-kDa fusion proteins Wt-Wt and Wt-R294A (wild-type AAC linked to a mutant having low ATP transport activity) were expressed in mitochondria of yeast transformants. Compared to homodimer Wt. Wt, the fusion protein Wt-Wt retained the transport activity and selectivity of ADP versus ATP. The strongly divergent selectivities of Wt and R294A were partially propagated in the Wt-R294A fusion protein, suggesting a limited cooperativity during solute translocation. The rates of ADP or ATP transport were significantly higher than those predicted by the two-channel model. Fusion proteins for Wt-R204L (Wt linked to an inactive mutant) and R204L-Wt were not expressed in aerobically grown yeast cells, which contained plasmid rearrangements that regenerated the fully active 32-kDa homodimer Wt. Wt, suggesting that these fusion proteins are inactive in ADP/ATP transport. These results favor a single binding center gated pore model [Klingenberg, M. (1991) in A Study of Enzymes, Vol. 2: pp. 367-388] in which two AAC subunits cooperate for a coordinated ADP/ATP exchange through a single channel.

Abstract
The ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) of mitochondria is a functionally central and characteristic component of the eukaryotic cell. By linking the thermodynamically divergent metabolites in the intra- and extramitochondrial compartments, it had to evolve with the emergence of the eukaryotic cell. Because of a number of unique properties, the AAC provided advanced insight into the molecular basis of solute transport through biomembrane carriers. With highly specific and unusually large substrates, ADP and ATP, and with high-affinity inhibitors binding selectively either from the inside or the outside, the first molecular demonstration of the single-binding-center gated pore mechanism was made. This framework can only partially be interpreted with the available yet rapidly increasing structural information on the AAC. The primary structure, first established for the AAC from beef heart mitochondria, showed a relatively wide distribution of hydrophilic residues which permits assignment of only two hydrophobic transmembrane stretches. However, a striking tripartition of the primary structure into about three 100-residue-long domains allows a more significant assignment of transmembrane elements. With alignment of these three domains for maximum conservation of structurally critical residues, each domain can be assigned to have two transmembrane alpha elements between 18 and 22 residues long. The interdomain homology between these alpha regions is low. The central regions flanked by these helices contain most of the polar residues and are significantly interdomain conserved. With lysine probes the central regions are assigned to the matrix side (m-side) and the two connecting regions as well as C and N termini to the cytosolic side (c-side). Out of the central regions a loop is assumed to protrude through the membrane, probably for lining the translocation channel. This localization of a major protein mass within the membrane agrees with hydrodynamic evidence, the carrier being an oblate ellipsoid with only about 50 A along the short axis. In accordance, the loops of domains 2 and 3 are affinity labeled by azido-ADP or azido-atractylate. Primary structures of AAC from other sources (fungi, plants) also exhibit the tripartition. The interdomain conserved residues are also interspecies conserved, thus showing that they are essential. These repeat domains have probably evolved from a common gene coding for about 100 residues. Isoforms of the AAC exist, as shown by primary structure analysis of human cDNA libraries from different organs. Three different isoforms are identified in human organs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The binding of bongkrekate to mitochondrial membrane was investigated using [3H]bongkrekate. These measurements were designed to examine the previously derived reorienting site mechanism which implies that bongkrekate binds to the single carrier site only from the inner face of the mitochondrial membrane. The binding studies confirm pH-dependent accumulation of [3H]bongkrekate inside the mitochondria which superimposes on to binding of carrier sites. By breaking the membrane with Lubrol or sonication, binding to the carrier sites can be titrated and Kd approximately equal to 5 X 10(-8) M is determined. ADP or ATP increases the amount of binding but does not change the Kd. Reciprocally bongkrekate increases ADP binding in those sections of a titration curve where bongkrekate binding is increased by ADP. [35S]Atractylate is displaced by [3H]bongkrekate at a 1:1 molar ratio. This displacement is dependent on ADP concentration with the Km = 0.5 X 10(-6) M. The earlier described isomer, isobongkrekate, also binds specifically to the carrier sites. From competition with bongkrekate a ratio KisoBKAd/KBKAd = 0.10 is determined. [35S]Carboxyatractylate displaces most of [3H]isobongkrekate but only little of [3H]bongkrekate. The rate of displacement is more than 10-times faster for isobongkrekate than for bongkrekate. The displacement is dependent on ADP with a Km = 5 X 10(-6) M. All these results are fully consistent with the single site reorienting mechanism. In no instant do bongkrekate and atractylate as well as ADP or ATP bind simultaneously to the carrier.

Abstract
The ADP/ATP carrier was studied by a fluorescent substrate, formycin diphosphate which is the only fluorescent ADP analogue to bind. Its low quantum yield, short decay time and spectral overlap with tryptophan has as yet prevented its wider use. By incorporating fluorescent acceptors of formycin diphosphate fluorescence, anthracene-maleimide and vinylanthracene, into the membrane, these difficulties were circumvented. Only bound formycin diphosphate transfers energy to the probes so that the secondary emission of these probes is a measure for membrane-bound formycin diphosphate. The fluorescent transfer is inhibited by ADP, bongkrekate and carboxyatractylate whether added before or after incubation of formycin diphosphate showing that only binding to the adenine nucleotide carrier is measured. It also shows directly that the earlier demonstrated ADP fixation by bongkrekate is indeed a displacement into the matrix. The fluorescence decay time of the bound formycin diphosphate is measured as 1.95 ns compared to 0.95 ns of the free formycin diphosphate, indicating that formycin diphosphate is bound at the carrier in a non-polar environment. The depolarization decay time was found to be larger than 15 ns, indicating that carrier-bound formycin diphosphate is immobile within this time period.
