The iron respiratory chain of the acidophilic bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans involves various metalloenzymes. Here we demonstrate that the oxygen reduction pathway from ferrous iron (named downhill pathway) is organized as a supercomplex constituted of proteins located in the outer and inner membranes as well as in the periplasm. For the first time, the outer membrane-bound cytochrome c Cyc2 was purified, and we showed that it is responsible for iron oxidation and determined that its redox potential is the highest measured to date for a cytochrome c. The organization of metalloproteins inside the supramolecular structure was specified by protein-protein interaction experiments. The isolated complex spanning the two membranes had iron oxidase as well as oxygen reductase activities, indicating functional electron transfer between the first iron electron acceptor, Cyc2, and the Cu A center of cytochrome c oxidase aa 3 . This is the first characterization of a respirasome from an acidophilic bacterium. In Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, O 2 reduction from ferrous iron must be coupled to the energy-consuming reduction of NAD ؉ (P) from ferrous iron (uphill pathway) required for CO 2 fixation and other anabolic processes. Besides the proteins involved in the O 2 reduction, there were additional proteins in the supercomplex, involved in uphill pathway (bc complex and cytochrome Cyc 42 ), suggesting a possible physical link between these two pathways.

“…Stable supercomplexes of Complexes III and IV were isolated from several bacteria, e.g. from Paracoccus denitrificans (6,7), thermophilic Bacillus PS3 (8), thermoacidophilic archeon Sulfolobus (9), and Corynebacterium glutamicum (10). Recently, Schä gger and colleagues (11,12) produced new evidence of stoichiometric assemblies of individual complexes, in yeast and in mammalian mitochondria, and suggested a model of the respiratory chain (the respirasome) based on direct channeling between complexes and not on random collisions.…”

The model of the respiratory chain in which the enzyme complexes are independently embedded in the lipid bilayer of the inner mitochondrial membrane and connected by randomly diffusing coenzyme Q and cytochrome c is mostly favored. However, multicomplex units can be isolated from mammalian mitochondria, suggesting a model based on direct electron channeling between complexes. Kinetic testing using metabolic flux control analysis can discriminate between the two models: the former model implies that each enzyme may be rate-controlling to a different extent, whereas in the latter, the whole metabolic pathway would behave as a single supercomplex and inhibition of any one of its components would elicit the same flux control. In particular, in the absence of other components of the oxidative phosphorylation apparatus (i.e. ATP synthase, membrane potential, carriers), the existence of a supercomplex would elicit a flux control coefficient near unity for each respiratory complex, and the sum of all coefficients would be well above unity. Using bovine heart mitochondria and submitochondrial particles devoid of substrate permeability barriers, we investigated the flux control coefficients of the complexes involved in aerobic NADH oxidation (I, III, IV) and in succinate oxidation (II, III, IV). Both Complexes I and III were found to be highly rate-controlling over NADH oxidation, a strong kinetic evidence suggesting the existence of functionally relevant association between the two complexes, whereas Complex IV appears randomly distributed. Moreover, we show that Complex II is fully rate-limiting for succinate oxidation, clearly indicating the absence of substrate channeling toward Complexes III and IV.Considerable information exists on the structure at atomic resolution of most of the transmembrane protein complexes forming the mitochondrial respiratory chain; there is, however, still little direct information on the supramolecular organization of the enzymatic complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Two extreme models for their arrangement in the membrane are conceivable: the model of a random organization of the individual respiratory complexes and that of a supercomplex assembly formed by stable association between proteins.The original solid-state model of Chance and Williams (1) changed gradually because the oxidative phosphorylation enzymes were found functionally active when isolated as individual complexes (2) Despite the acceptance of the idea that electron transfer in mitochondrial membranes depends on random collisions between small diffusing molecules (coenzyme Q and cytochrome c) and complexes

“…Since oxygen (and nitrate) serves as a terminal electron acceptor in its respiratory energy metabolism, C. glutamicum generates ATP by ETP (28). By SLP and ETP with the cytochrome bc 1 -aa 3 branch, complete aerobic oxidation of glucose and acetate yields 26.7 and 7.3 mol of ATP, respectively (29,30). ETP has been shown to be essential for growth with substrates that do not allow ATP generation by SLP (e.g., acetate); however, C. glutamicum mutants devoid of ETP grew with substrates allowing SLP, such as glucose (31).…”

Corynebacterium glutamicum uses the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway of glycolysis and gains 2 mol of ATP per mol of glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation (SLP). To engineer glycolysis without net ATP formation by SLP, endogenous phosphorylating NAD-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was replaced by nonphosphorylating NADPdependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GapN) from Clostridium acetobutylicum, which irreversibly converts glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) to 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) without generating ATP. As shown recently (S. Takeno, R. Murata, R. Kobayashi, S. Mitsuhashi, and M. Ikeda, Appl Environ Microbiol 76:7154 -7160, 2010, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/AEM.01464-10), this ATP-neutral, NADPH-generating glycolytic pathway did not allow for the growth of Corynebacterium glutamicum with glucose as the sole carbon source unless hitherto unknown suppressor mutations occurred; however, these mutations were not disclosed. In the present study, a suppressor mutation was identified, and it was shown that heterologous expression of udhA encoding soluble transhydrogenase from Escherichia coli partly restored growth, suggesting that growth was inhibited by NADPH accumulation. Moreover, genome sequence analysis of second-site suppressor mutants that were able to grow faster with glucose revealed a single point mutation in the gene of non-proton-pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (NDH-II) leading to the amino acid change D213G, which was shared by these suppressor mutants. Since related NDH-II enzymes accepting NADPH as the substrate possess asparagine or glutamine residues at this position, D213G, D213N, and D213Q variants of C. glutamicum NDH-II were constructed and were shown to oxidize NADPH in addition to NADH. Taking these findings together, ATP-neutral glycolysis by the replacement of endogenous NAD-dependent GAPDH with NADP-dependent GapN became possible via oxidation of NADPH formed in this pathway by mutant NADPH-accepting NDH-II D213G and thus by coupling to electron transport phosphorylation (ETP).A TP generation occurs naturally by substrate-level phosphorylation (SLP), electron transport phosphorylation (ETP), photophosphorylation, and decarboxylation phosphorylation. The Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway of glycolysis supplies ATP by SLP in the absence of terminal electron acceptors or anaerobic conditions, as well as supplying direct precursors for biomass formation (1). Bacteria and archaea possess one or more of multiple biologically feasible routes for glucose catabolism, such as the EMP pathway, the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, and the phosphoketolase pathway, which yield zero to 3 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and exist in different variants. In natural habitats, a trade-off between the rate and the yield of ATP production is observed for heterotrophic organisms; faster but less efficient ATP production may be advantageous under conditions characterized by a low abundance of growth substrates (2, 3). For example, Zymomonas mobilis ferments suga...
