Contribution of the alternative pathway to respiration during thermogenesis in flowers of the sacred lotus.

We report results from in vivo measurements, using oxygen isotope discrimination techniques, of fluxes through the alternative and cytochrome respiratory pathways in thermogenic plant tissue, the floral receptacle of the sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera). Fluxes through both pathways were measured in thermoregulating flowers undergoing varying degrees of thermogenesis in response to ambient temperature. Significant increases in alternative pathway flux were found in lotus receptacles with temperatures 16 degrees C to 20 degrees C above ambient, but not in those with lesser amounts of heating. Alternative pathway flux in the hottest receptacles was 75% of the total respiratory flux. In contrast, fluxes through the cytochrome pathway did not change significantly during thermogenesis. These data support the hypothesis that increased flux through the alternative pathway is responsible for heating in the lotus and that it is unlikely that uncoupling proteins, which would have produced increased fluxes through the cytochrome pathway, contribute significantly to heating in this tissue. Comparisons of actual flux, with capacity determined using inhibitors, suggested that the alternative pathway was operating at close to maximum capacity in heating tissues of lotus. However, in nonheating tissues the inhibitor data significantly overestimated the alternative pathway flux. This confirms that isotopic measurements are necessary for accurate determination of fluxes through the two pathways.

Models of the membrane-bound cytochromes: mössbauer spectra of crystalline low-spin ferriheme complexes having axial ligand plane dihedral angles ranging from 0 degree to 90 degrees.

Crystalline samples of four low-spin Fe(III) octaalkyltetraphenylporphyrinate and two low-spin Fe(III) tetramesitylporphyrinate complexes, all of which are models of the bis-histidine-coordinated cytochromes of mitochondrial complexes II, III, and IV and chloroplast complex b(6)f, and whose molecular structures and EPR spectra have been reported previously, have been investigated in detail by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The six complexes and the dihedral angles between axial ligand planes of each are [(TMP)Fe(1-MeIm)(2)]ClO(4) (0 degree), paral-[(OMTPP)Fe(1-MeIm)(2)]Cl (19.5 degrees), paral-[(TMP)Fe(5-MeHIm)(2)]ClO(4) (26 degrees, 30 degrees for two molecules in the unit cell whose EPR spectra overlap), [(OETPP)Fe(4-Me(2)NPy)(2)]Cl (70 degrees), perp-[(OETPP)Fe(1-MeIm)(2)]Cl (73 degrees), and perp-[(OMTPP)Fe(1-MeIm)(2)]Cl (90 degrees). Of these, the first three have been shown to exhibit normal rhombic EPR spectra, each with three clearly resolved g-values, while the last three have been shown to exhibit "large g(max)" EPR spectra at 4.2 K. It is found that the hyperfine coupling constants of the complexes are consistent with those reported previously for low-spin ferriheme systems, with the largest-magnitude hyperfine coupling constant, A(zz), being considerably smaller for the "parallel" complexes (400-540 kG) than for the strictly perpendicular complex (902 kG), A(xx) being negative for all six complexes, and A(zz) and A(xx) being of similar magnitude for the "parallel" complexes (for example, for [(TMP)Fe(1-MeIm)(2)]Cl, A(zz) = 400 kG, A(xx) = -400 kG). In all cases, A(yy) is small but difficult to estimate with accuracy. With results for six structurally characterized model systems, we find for the first time qualitative correlations of g(zz), A(zz), and DeltaE(Q) with axial ligand plane dihedral angle Deltavarphi.

Multi-heme cytochromes--new structures, new chemistry.

Heme is one of the most pervasive cofactors in nature and the c-type cytochromes represent one of the largest families of heme-containing proteins. Recent progress in bacterial genomic analysis has revealed a vast range of genes encoding novel c-type cytochromes that contain multiple numbers of heme cofactors. The genome sequence of Geobacter sulfurreducens, for example, includes some one hundred genes encoding c-type cytochromes, with around seventy of these containing two, or more, heme groups and with one protein containing an astonishing twenty seven heme groups. This wealth of cytochromes is of great significance in the respiratory flexibility shown by bacteria such as Geobacter. In addition, we are now discovering that many of these multi-heme cytochromes have associated enzymatic activities and in some cases this is revealing new chemistries. The purpose of this perspective is to describe recent progress in the structural and functional analyses of these new multi-heme cytochromes. To illustrate this we have chosen to focus on three of these cytochromes which exhibit catalytic activities; nitrite reductase, hydroxylamine oxidoreductase and tetrathionate reductase. In addition we consider the multi-heme cytochromes from Geobacter and Desulfovibrio species. Finally, we consider and contrast the repeating structural modules found in these multi-heme cytochromes.
