Abstract:
:The role of lateral diffusion in mitochondrial electron transport has been investigated by measuring the diffusion coefficients for lipid, cytochrome c, and cytochrome oxidase in membranes of giant mitoplasts from cuprizone-fed mice using the technique of fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching (FRAP). The diffusion coefficient of the phospholipid analogue N-(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)phosphatidylethanolamine is dependent on the technique used to remove the outer mitochondrial membrane. A sonication technique yields mitoplasts with monophasic recovery of the lipid probe (D = 6 X 10(-9) cm2/s), while digitonin-treated mitochondria show biphasic recoveries (D1 = 5 X 10(-9) cm2/s; D2 = 1 X 10(-9) cm2/s). Digitonin appears to incorporate into mitoplasts, giving rise to decreased lipid mobility concomitant with increased rates of electron transfer from succinate to oxygen, in a manner reminiscent of the effects of cholesterol incorporation [Schneider, H., Lemasters, J. J., Hochli, M., & Hackenbrock, C. R. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 3748-3756]. FRAP measurements on tetramethylrhodamine cytochrome c modified at lysine-39 and on a mixture of active morpholinorhodamine derivatives of cytochrome c gave diffusion coefficients of (3.5-7) X 10(-10) cm2/s depending on the assay medium. With morpholinorhodamine-labeled antibodies purified on a cytochrome oxidase affinity column, the diffusion coefficient for cytochrome oxidase was determined to be 1.5 X 10(-10) cm2/s. The results are discussed in terms of a dynamic aggregate model in which an equilibrium exists between freely diffusing and associated electron-transfer components.
