The m.8993T>G mutation of the mitochondrial MT-ATP6 gene is associated with NARP syndrome (neuropathy, ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa). The equivalent point mutation introduced in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial DNA considerably reduced the activity of ATP synthase and of cytochrome-c-oxidase, preventing yeast growth on oxidative substrates. The overexpression of the mitochondrial oxodicarboxylate carrier (Odc1p) was able to rescue the growth on the oxidative substrate by increasing the substrate-level phosphorylation of ADP coupled to the conversion of α-ketoglutarate (AKG) into succinate with an increase in Complex IV activity. Previous studies showed that equivalent point mutations in ATP synthase behave similarly and can be rescued by Odc1p overexpression and/or the uncoupling of OXPHOS from ATP synthesis. In order to better understand the mechanism of the ATP synthase mutation bypass, we developed a core model of mitochondrial metabolism based on AKG as a respiratory substrate. We describe the different possible metabolite outputs and the ATP/O ratio values as a function of ATP synthase inhibition.

A brief summary of the factors that control synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP by the mitochondrial H+-ATP synthase is made. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of the natural ATPase inhibitor protein. It is clear from the existing data obtained with a number of agents that there is no correlation between variations of the rate of ATP hydrolysis and ATP synthesis as driven by respiration. The mechanism by which each condition differentially affects the two activities is not entirely known. For the case of the natural ATPase inhibitor protein, it appears that the protein controls the kinetics of the enzyme. This control seems essential for achieving maximal accumulation of ATP during electron transport in systems that contain relatively high concentrations of ATP.

Abstract Organisms that can grow without mitochondrial DNA are referred to as “petite-positive” and those that are inviable in the absence of mitochondrial DNA are termed “petite-negative.” The petite-positive yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be converted to a petite-negative yeast by inactivation of Yme1p, an ATP- and metal-dependent protease associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane. Suppression of this yme1 phenotype can occur by virtue of dominant mutations in the α- and γ-subunits of mitochondrial ATP synthase. These mutations are similar or identical to those occurring in the same subunits of the same enzyme that converts the petite-negative yeast Kluyveromyces lactis to petite-positive. Expression of YME1 in the petite-negative yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe converts this yeast to petite-positive. No sequence closely related to YME1 was found by DNA-blot hybridization to S. pombe or K. lactis genomic DNA, and no antigenically related proteins were found in mitochondrial extracts of S. pombe probed with antisera directed against Yme1p. Mutations that block the formation of the F1 component of mitochondrial ATP synthase are also petite-negative. Thus, the F1 complex has an essential activity in cells lacking mitochondrial DNA and Yme1p can mediate that activity, even in heterologous systems.

With the advent of next generation sequencing, the list of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations identified in patients rapidly and continuously expands. They are frequently found in a limited number of cases, sometimes a single individual (as with the case herein reported) and in heterogeneous genetic backgrounds (heteroplasmy), which makes it difficult to conclude about their pathogenicity and functional consequences. As an organism amenable to mitochondrial DNA manipulation, able to survive by fermentation to loss-of-function mtDNA mutations, and where heteroplasmy is unstable, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent model for investigating novel human mtDNA variants, in isolation and in a controlled genetic context. We herein report the identification of a novel variant in mitochondrial ATP6 gene, m.8909T>C. It was found in combination with the well-known pathogenic m.3243A>G mutation in mt-tRNALeu. We show that an equivalent of the m.8909T>C mutation compromises yeast adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) synthase assembly/stability and reduces the rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis by 20–30% compared to wild type yeast. Other previously reported ATP6 mutations with a well-established pathogenicity (like m.8993T>C and m.9176T>C) were shown to have similar effects on yeast ATP synthase. It can be inferred that alone the m.8909T>C variant has the potential to compromise human health.

The mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase is a multimeric enzyme complex composed of at least 16 unique peptides with an overall molecular mass of ∼600 kDa. F1-ATPase is composed of α3β3γδϵ with an overall molecular mass of 370 kDa. The genes encoding bovine F1-ATPase have been expressed in a quintuple yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion mutant (ΔαΔβΔγΔδΔϵ). This strain expressing bovine F1 is unable to grow on medium containing a non-fermentable carbon source (YPG), indicating that the enzyme is non-functional. However, daughter strains were easily selected for growth on YPG medium and these were evolved for improved growth on YPG medium. The evolution of the strains was presumably due to mutations, but mutations in the genes encoding the subunits of the bovine F1-ATPase were not required for the ability of the cell to grow on YPG medium. The bovine enzyme expressed in yeast was partially purified to a specific activity of about half of that of the enzyme purified from bovine heart mitochondria. These results indicate that the molecular machinery required for the assembly of the mitochondrial ATP synthase is conserved from bovine and yeast and suggest that yeast may be useful for the expression, mutagenesis, and analysis of the mammalian F1- or F1F0-ATP synthase.

The GPCR kinase GRK2 is highly expressed the heart; importantly, during cardiac injury or heart failure (HF) both levels and activity of GRK2 increase. The role of GRK2 during HF is canonically studied upstream of β-adrenergic desensitization. However, GRK2 has a large interactome and noncanonical functions for this kinase are being uncovered. We have discovered that in the heart, GRK2 translocates to mitochondria ( mtGRK2 ) following injury and is associated with negative effects on cardiac metabolism. Thus, we have sought to identify the mechanism(s) by which GRK2 can regulate mitochondrial function. We hypothesize that mtGRK2 interacts with proteins which regulate bioenergetics and substrate utilization, and this never-before-described role may partially explain the altered mitochondrial phenotype seen following cardiac injury or HF. Stress-induced mitochondrial translocation of GRK2 was validated in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes, murine heart tissue and a cardiac-derived cell line. Consequently, the GRK2 interactome was mapped basally and under stress conditions in vitro, in vivo , and with tagged recombinant peptides. GRK2-interacting proteins were isolated via immunoprecipitation and analyzed via liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LCMS). Proteomics analysis (IPA; Qiagen) identified mtGRK2 interacting proteins which were also involved in mitochondrial dysfunction. Excitingly, Complexes I, II, IV and V (ATP synthase) of the electron transport chain (ETC) were identified in the subset of mtGRK2-dysfunction partners. Several mtGRK2-ETC interactions were increased following stress, particularly those in Complex V. We further established that mtGRK2 phosphorylates some of the subunits of Complex V, particularly the ATP synthase barrel which is critical for ATP production in the heart. Specific amino acid residues on these subunits have been identified using PTM-LCMS and are currently being validated in a murine model of myocardial infarction. To support these data, we have also determined that alterations in either the levels or kinase activity of GRK2 appear to alter the enzymatic activity of Complex V in vitro , thus altering ATP production. In summary, the phosphorylation of the ATP synthesis machinery by mtGRK2 may be regulating some of the phenotypic effects of injured or failing hearts such as increased ROS production and reduced fatty acid metabolism. Research is ongoing in our lab to elucidate the novel role of GRK2 in regulating mitochondrial bioenergetics and cell death, thus uncovering an exciting, druggable novel target for rescuing cardiac function in patients with injured and/or failing hearts.

Oocytes are postulated to repress the proton pumps (e.g., complex IV) and ATP synthase to safeguard mitochondrial DNA homoplasmy by curtailing superoxide production. Whether the ATP synthase is inhibited is, however, unknown. Here we show that: oligomycin sensitive ATP synthase activity is significantly greater (~170 vs. 20 nmol/min−1/mg−1) in testes compared to oocytes in Xenopus laevis (X. laevis). Since ATP synthase activity is redox regulated, we explored a regulatory role for reversible thiol oxidation. If a protein thiol inhibits the ATP synthase, then constituent subunits must be reversibly oxidised. Catalyst-free trans-cyclooctene 6-methyltetrazine (TCO-Tz) immunocapture coupled to redox affinity blotting reveals several subunits in F1 (e.g., ATP-α-F1) and Fo (e.g., subunit c) are reversibly oxidised. Catalyst-free TCO-Tz Click PEGylation reveals significant (~60%) reversible ATP-α-F1 oxidation at two evolutionary conserved cysteine residues (C244 and C294) in oocytes. TCO-Tz Click PEGylation reveals ~20% of the total thiols in the ATP synthase are substantially oxidised. Chemically reversing thiol oxidation significantly increased oligomycin sensitive ATP synthase activity from ~12 to 100 nmol/min−1/mg−1 in oocytes. We conclude that reversible thiol oxidation inhibits the mitochondrial ATP synthase in X. laevis oocytes.
