The (S)-isomer of the male antifertility agent IX-chlorohydrin strongly inhibited the oxidative metabolism of fructose by boar spermatozoa in vitro. The result of this action, which has been deduced to be an inhibition of glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, caused an accumulation of fructose- 1,6-bisphosphate and the triosephosphates, and a decrease in substrate-level phosphorylation with a concomitant lowering of the energy charge potential of the spermatozoa. The (R)-isomer of IX-chlorohydrin had no inhibitory activity on fructolysis.

Nobiletin is an O-methylated flavonoid found in citrus peels that have anticancer, antiviral, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory activities and depending on the cell types exhibits both pro- or anti-apoptotic properties. We have found that nobiletin decreases oxygen consumption by bovine brain isolated mitochondria in the presence of glutamate and malate and increases in the presence of succinate. In parallel, nobiletin increases NADH oxidation, a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activities and through matrix substrate-level phosphorylation elevates the a-ketoglutarate-dependent production of ATP. In addition, nobiletin reduces the production of peroxides in the presence of complex I substrates and slightly enhances succinate-driven H2O2 formation. Besides, nobiletin induces transient elevation of membrane potential followed by mild depolarization. Affinity purified nobiletin binding proteins revealed one major anti-NDUFV1 positive protein with 52kD and NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity. This fraction can produce peroxide that is inhibited by nobiletin. We propose that nobiletin may act as a mild “uncoupler”, which through activation of a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (a-KGDH)-complex and acceleration of matrix substrate-level phosphorylation maintains membrane potential at an abnormal level. This switch in mitochondrial metabolism could elevate succinate-driven oxygen consumption that may underlay in both pro- and anti-apoptotic effects of nobiletin.

ABSTRACT The attKLM operon encodes a lactonase (AttM) that hydrolyzes acylhomoserine lactone autoinducers, as well as two putative dehydrogenases (AttK and AttL). Here we show that AttK, AttL, and AttM collectively covert gamma-butyrolactone to succinate. Two metabolic intermediates, gamma-hydroxybutyrate and succinic semialdehyde, inactivated the AttJ repressor in vitro and induced attKLM transcription in vivo.
