Contact Sites

The outer mitochondrial membrane pore (VDAC) changes its structure either voltage-dependently in artificial membranes or physiologically by interaction with the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) in the c-conformation. This interaction creates contact sites and leads in addition to a specific organisation of cytochrome c in the VDAC-ANT complexes. The VDAC structure that is specific for contact sites generates a signal at the surface for several proteins in the cytosol to bind with high capacity, such as hexokinase, glycerol kinase and Bax. If the VDAC binding site is not occupied by hexokinase, the VDAC-ANT complex has two critical qualities: firstly, Bax gets access to cytochrome c and secondly the ANT is set in its c-conformation that easily changes conformation into an unspecific channel (uniporter) causing permeability transition. Activity of bound hexokinase protects against both, it hinders Bax binding and employs the ANT as anti-porter. The octamer of mitochondrial creatine kinase binds to VDAC from the inner surface of the outer membrane. This firstly restrains interaction between VDAC and ANT and secondly changes the VDAC structure into low affinity for hexokinase and Bax. Cytochrome c in the creatine kinase complex will be differently organised, not accessible to Bax and the ANT is run as anti-porter by the active creatine kinase octamer. However, when, for example, free radicals cause dissociation of the octamer, VDAC interacts with the ANT with the same results as described above: Bax-dependent cytochrome c release and risk of permeability transition pore opening.

A fusion protein between cyclophilin-D (CyP-D) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) was shown to bind to purified liver inner mitochondrial membranes (IMMs) in a cyclosporin A (CsA)-sensitive manner. Binding was enhanced by diamide treatment of the IMMs. Immobilized GST–CyP-D avidly bound a single 30 kDa protein present in Triton X-100-solubilized IMMs; immunoblotting showed this to be the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT). Binding was prevented by pretreatment of the CyP-D with CsA, but not with cyclosporin H. Purified ANT also bound specifically to GST–CyP-D, but porin did not, even in the presence of ANT.

This chapter reviews recent advances in the identification of the structural elements of the permeability transition pore. The discovery that cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits the pore proved instrumental. Various approaches indicate that CsA blocks the pore by binding to cyclophilin (CyP)-D. In particular, covalent labelling of CyP-D in situ by a photoactive CsA derivative has shown that pore ligands have the same effects on the degree to which CsA both blocks the pore and binds to CyP-D. The recognition that CyP-D is a key component has enabled the other constituents to be resolved. Use of a CyP-D fusion protein as affinity matrix has revealed that CyP-D binds very strongly to 1:1 complexes of the voltage-dependent anion channel (from the outer membrane) and adenine nucleotide translocase (inner membrane). Our current model envisages that the pore arises as a complex between these three components at contact sites between the mitochondrial inner and outer membranes. This is in line with recent reconstitutions of pore activity from protein fractions containing these proteins. The strength of interaction between these proteins suggests that it may be a permanent feature rather than assembled only under pathological conditions. Calcium, the key activator of the pore, does not appear to affect pore assembly; rather, an allosteric action allowing pore flicker into an open state is indicated. CsA inhibits pore flicker and lowers the binding affinity for calcium. Whether adenine nucleotide translocase or the voltage-dependent anion channel (via inner membrane insertion) provides the inner membrane pore has not been settled, and data relevant to this issue are also documented.
