The inner membrane of the mitochondrion folds inwards, forming the cristae. This folding allows a greater amount of membrane to be packed into the mitochondrion. The data in this study demonstrate that subunits e and g of the mitochondrial ATP synthase are involved in generating mitochondrial cristae morphology. These two subunits are non‐essential components of ATP synthase and are required for the dimerization and oligomerization of ATP synthase. Mitochondria of yeast cells deficient in either subunits e or g were found to have numerous digitations and onion‐like structures that correspond to an uncontrolled biogenesis and/or folding of the inner mitochondrial membrane. The present data show that there is a link between dimerization of the mitochondrial ATP synthase and cristae morphology. A model is proposed of the assembly of ATP synthase dimers, taking into account the oligomerization of the yeast enzyme and earlier data on the ultrastructure of mitochondrial cristae, which suggests that the association of ATP synthase dimers is involved in the control of the biogenesis of the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) analyses of detergent mitochondrial extracts have provided evidence that the yeast ATP synthase could form dimers. Cross-linking experiments performed on a modified version of the i-subunit of this enzyme indicate the existence of such ATP synthase dimers in the yeast inner mitochondrial membrane. We also show that the first transmembrane segment of the eukaryotic b-subunit (bTM1), like the two supernumerary subunits e and g, is required for dimerization/oligomerization of ATP synthases. Unlike mitochondria of wild-type cells that display a well-developed cristae network, mitochondria of yeast cells devoid of subunits e, g, or bTM1 present morphological alterations with an abnormal proliferation of the inner mitochondrial membrane. From these observations, we postulate that an anomalous organization of the inner mitochondrial membrane occurs due to the absence of ATP synthase dimers/oligomers. We provide a model in which the mitochondrial ATP synthase is a key element in cristae morphogenesis.

In the absence of the first membrane-spanning segment of subunit 4(b), the yeast ATP synthase is functional but does not dimerize or oligomerize.

The N-terminal portion of the mitochondrial b-subunit is anchored in the inner mitochondrial membrane by two hydrophobic segments. We investigated the role of the first membrane-spanning segment, which is absent in prokaryotic and chloroplastic enzymes. In the absence of the first membrane-spanning segment of the yeast subunit (subunit 4), a strong decrease in the amount of subunit g was found. The mutant ATP synthase did not dimerize or oligomerize, and mutant cells displayed anomalous mitochondrial morphologies with onion-like structures. This phenotype is similar to that of the null mutant in theATP20 gene that encodes subunit g, a component involved in the dimerization/oligomerization of ATP synthase. Our data indicate that the first membrane-spanning segment of the mitochondrialb-subunit is not essential for the function of the enzyme since its removal did not directly alter the oxidative phosphorylation. It is proposed that the unique membrane-spanning segment of subunitg and the first membrane-spanning segment of subunit4 interact, as shown by cross-linking experiments. We hypothesize that in eukaryotic cells the b-subunit has evolved to accommodate the interaction with the g-subunit, an associated ATP synthase component only present in the mitochondrial enzyme.

Background information. The yeast mitochondrial F1Fo‐ATP synthase is a large complex of 600 kDa that uses the proton electrochemical gradient generated by the respiratory chain to catalyse ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi. For a large range of organisms, it has been shown that mitochondrial ATP synthase adopts oligomeric structures. Moreover, several studies have suggested that a link exists between ATP synthase and mitochondrial morphology.

Mitochondrial morphogenesis is a key process of cell physiology. It is essential for the proper function of this double membrane-delimited organelle, as it ensures the packing of the inner membrane in a very ordered pattern called cristae. In yeast, the mitochondrial ATP synthase is able to form dimers that can assemble into oligomers. Two subunits (e and g) are involved in this supramolecular organization. Deletion of the genes encoding these subunits has no effect on the ATP synthase monomer assembly or activity and only affects its dimerization and oligomerization. Concomitantly, the absence of subunits e and g and thus, of ATP synthase supercomplexes, promotes the modification of mitochondrial ultrastructure suggesting that ATP synthase oligomerization is involved in cristae morphogenesis. We report here that in mammalian cells in culture, the shRNA-mediated down-regulation of subunits e and g affects the stability of ATP synthase and results in a 50% decrease of the available functional enzyme. Comparable to what was shown in yeast, when subunits e and g expression are repressed, ATP synthase dimers and oligomers are less abundant when assayed by native electrophoresis. Unexpectedly, mammalian ATP synthase dimerization/oligomerization impairment has functional consequences on the respiratory chain leading to a decrease in OXPHOS activity. Finally these structural and functional alterations of the ATP synthase have a strong impact on the organelle itself leading to the fission of the mitochondrial network and the disorganization of mitochondrial ultrastructure. Unlike what was shown in yeast, the impairment of the ATP synthase oligomerization process drastically affects mitochondrial ATP production. Thus we propose that mutations or deletions of genes encoding subunits e and g may have physiopathological implications.

Organisation of the yeast ATP synthase F0:a study based on cysteine mutants, thiol modification and cross-linking reagents

A topological study of the yeast ATP synthase membranous domain was undertaken by means of chemical modifications and cross-linking experiments on the wild-type complex and on mutated enzymes obtained by site-directed mutagenesis of genes encoding ATP synthase subunits. The modification by non-permeant maleimide reagents of the Cys-54 of mutated subunit 4 (subunit b), of the Cys-23 in the N-terminus of subunit 6 (subunit a) and of the Cys-91 in the C-terminus of mutated subunit f demonstrated their location in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Near-neighbour relationships between subunits of the complex were demonstrated by means of homobifunctional and heterobifunctional reagents. Our data suggest interactions between the first transmembranous alpha-helix of subunit 6, the two hydrophobic segments of subunit 4 and the unique membrane-spanning segments of subunits i and f. The amino acid residue 174 of subunit 4 is close to both oscp and the beta-subunit, and the residue 209 is close to oscp. The dimerisation of subunit 4 in the membrane revealed that this component is located in the periphery of the enzyme and interacts with other ATP synthase complexes.

Rotor architecture in the yeast and bovine F1-c-ring complexes of F-ATP synthase.

The F(1)F(O)-ATP synthase is a rotary molecular nanomotor. F(1) is a chemical motor driven by ATP hydrolysis while F(O) is an electrical motor driven by the proton flow. The two stepping motors are mechanically coupled through a common rotary shaft. Up to now, the three available crystal structures of the F(1)c(10) sub-complex of the yeast F(1)F(O)-ATP synthase were isomorphous and then named yF(1)c(10)(I). In this crystal form, significant interactions of the c(10)-ring with the F(1)-head of neighboring molecules affected the overall conformation of the F(1)-c-ring complex. The symmetry axis of the F(1)-head and the inertia axis of the c-ring were tilted near the interface between the F(1)-central stalk and the c-ring rotor, resulting in an unbalanced machine. We have solved a new crystal form of the F(1)c(10) complex, named yF(1)c(10)(II), inhibited by adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), at 6.5Å resolution in which the crystal packing has a weaker influence over the conformation of the F(1)-c-ring complex. yF(1)c(10)(II) provides a model of a more efficient generator. yF(1)c(10)(II) and bovine bF(1)c(8) structures share a common rotor architecture with the inertia center of the F(1)-stator close to the rotor axis.

Flucytosine-Fluconazole Cross-Resistance in Purine-Cytosine Permease-Deficient Candida lusitaniae Clinical Isolates: Indirect Evidence of a Fluconazole Uptake Transporter

An unusual interaction between flucytosine and fluconazole was observed when a collection of 60 Candida lusitaniae clinical isolates was screened for cross-resistance. Among eight isolates resistant to flucytosine (MIC >/= 128 micro g/ml) and susceptible to fluconazole (0.5 < MIC < 2 micro g/ml), four became flucytosine-fluconazole cross resistant when both antifungals were used simultaneously. Fluconazole resistance occurred only in the presence of high flucytosine concentrations, and the higher the fluconazole concentration used, the greater the flucytosine concentration necessary to trigger the cross-resistance. When the flucytosine- and fluconazole-resistant cells were grown in the presence of fluconazole alone, the cells reversed to fluconazole susceptibility. Genetic analyses of the progeny from crosses between resistant and sensitive isolates showed that resistance to flucytosine was derived from a recessive mutation in a single gene, whereas cross-resistance to fluconazole seemed to vary like a quantitative trait. We further demonstrated that the four clinical isolates were susceptible to 5-fluorouracil and that cytosine deaminase activity was unaffected. Kinetic transport studies with [(14)C]flucytosine showed that flucytosine resistance was due to a defect in the purine-cytosine permease. Our hypothesis was that extracellular flucytosine would subsequently behave as a competitive inhibitor of fluconazole uptake transport. Finally, in vitro selection of spontaneous and induced mutants indicated that such a cross-resistance mechanism could also affect other Candida species, including C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. glabrata. This is the first report of a putative fluconazole uptake transporter in Candida species and of a possible resistance mechanism associated with a deficiency in the uptake of this drug.
