Abstract:
:Phosphate-dependent glutaminase is associated with the inner membrane of rat renal mitochondria. The orientation of this enzyme was characterized by comparing its sensitivity in isolated mitochondria and in mitoplasts to two membrane impermeable inhibitors. Mitoplasts were prepared by repeated swelling of mitochondria in a hypotonic phosphate solution. This procedure released greater than 70% of the adenylate kinase from the intermembrane space, but less than 10 and 25% of the marker activities characteristic of the inner membrane and matrix compartments, respectively. The addition of 20 microM p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonate (pCMPS) caused a rapid inactivation of the purified glutaminase. In contrast, the glutaminase contained in isolated mitochondria and mitoplasts was only slightly affected by the addition of up to 2 mM pCMPS. Similarly, the activity in mitochondria and mitoplasts was not inhibited by the addition of an excess of inactivating Fab antibodies. However, a similar extent of inactivation occurred when either membrane fraction was incubated with concentrations of octylglucoside greater than 0.35%. Mitochondria were also treated with increasing concentrations of digitonin. At 0.4 mg digitonin/mg protein, all of the adenylate kinase was released but the glutaminase activity was either slightly inhibited or unaffected by the addition of pCMPS or the Fab antibodies, respectively. These studies establish that the glutaminase is localized on the inner surface of the inner membrane. Therefore, mitochondrial catabolism of glutamine must occur only within the matrix compartment.
