ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the entry enzyme of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. To obtain the structural information on inhibitor/quinone binding sites, we synthesized [3H]benzophenone-asimicin ([3H]BPA), a photoaffinity analogue of asimicin, which belongs to the acetogenin family known as the most potent complex I inhibitor. We found that [3H]BPA was photo-crosslinked to ND2, ND1 and ND5 subunits, by the three dimensional separation (blue-native/doubled SDS-PAGE) of [3H]BPA-treated bovine heart submitochondrial particles. The cross-linking was blocked by rotenone. This is the first finding that ND2 was photo-crosslinked with a potent complex I inhibitor, suggesting its involvement in the inhibitor/quinone-binding.
泛醌氧化还原酶(复合体 I)是线粒体氧化磷酸化的入口酶。为了获得抑制剂/醌结合位点的结构信息,我们合成了[3H]苯并酮-asi 霉素([3H]BPA),这是 asi 霉素的光亲和类似物,asi 霉素属于被称为最有效的复合体 I 抑制剂的乙酰生酮家族。我们发现[3H]BPA 通过牛心亚线粒体颗粒的三维分离(蓝色非变性/双重 SDS-PAGE)与 ND2、ND1 和 ND5 亚基发生光交联。这种交联被鱼藤酮所阻断。这是首次发现 ND2 与一种强效的复合体 I 抑制剂发生光交联,表明它参与了抑制剂/醌结合。
