SnapShot: Mitochondrial Architecture Walter Neupert Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, D-82152 Martinsried, Germany Mitochondria are essential organelles that participate in a wide variety of cellular functions, including oxidative phosphorylation; intermediary metabolism; and synthesis of Fe-S clusters, heme, and certain phospholipids. Mitochondria also play an important role in apoptosis and are linked to a number of disorders such as diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and aging. Function and structure of mitochondria are intimately linked. Mitochondria contain two different membranes, the outer membrane (OM) and the inner membrane (IM). The OM forms a barrier to the cytosol. The IM can be divided into several different parts. The inner boundary membrane (IBM) is tightly attached to the OM, leaving a space—the intermembrane space that measures < 2–3 nm. OM and IBM can be viewed as a kind of envelope that separates the mitochondrial interior from the cytosol. Invaginations from the IBM, the cristae, extend from the IBM into the matrix space. The space enclosed by the cristae is the intracrista space. The cristae are connected to the IBM by the cristae junctions (CJ), narrow tube-like structures. A further general hallmark of mitochondrial architecture is the contact sites between OM and IBM. These structures become visible when the IM is made to contract. Then, sites of adhesion between both membranes become apparent. Little is known about these sites, and in fact, there may be different types of interactions. Contacts between OM and IBM exist for translocation of proteins from the cytosol into the matrix and IM and probably also for the transport of phospholipids. The protein translocases TOM in the OM, and TIM23/TIM22 in the IM cooperate to insert newly made proteins into the IBM, from which they can reach the cristae only via the CJ. Likewise, contacts have been observed that facilitate the exchange of ATP in the matrix versus ADP in the cytosol. Whereas the latter two types of interaction seem to be transient, the first type appears to be quite stable, as they survive osmotic and ultrasonic treatment of mitochondria. These contact sites (CS) are present mainly where the CJ meet the OM and appear to have a role in the construction and positioning of CJ. Mitochondria typically form extended networks throughout the cytosol, and their overall morphology is controlled by organelle fusion and fission. The ultrastructural organi- zation of mitochondrial membranes varies considerably between mitochondria of different organisms, tissues, and cell types (see electron microscopy images reprinted with permission from Fawcett [1981]). The diversity of mitochondrial architecture reflecting the diversity of their metabolic functions is apparent when comparing mitochondria from pancreas (A), adrenal cortex (B), astrocytes (C), muscle (D), brown adipose tissue (E), and an Amoeba (F). Not surprisingly, aberrant mitochondrial shapes and ultrastructures

The most striking feature of this topology is the crista junction, a structure that may serve to divide functionally the inner-membrane and inter-membrane spaces. In situ these junctions seem to have a preferred size and shape independent of the source of the mitochondrion with few exceptions. When mitochondria are isolated and have a condensed matrix the crista junctions enlarge and become non-discrete. Upon permeation of the inner membrane and subsequent swelling of the matrix space, the uniform circular nature of the crista junction reappears. We examine the distribution of shapes and sizes of crista junctions and suggest a thermodynamic model that explains the distribution based on current theories of bilayer membrane shapes. The theory of spontaneous curvature shows the circular junction to be a thermodynamically stable structure whose size and shape is influenced by the relative volume of the matrix.

  • Electron Transport Generates a Proton Gradient Across the Membrane
    Electron Transport Generates a Proton Gradient Across the Membrane Each of respiratory enzyme complexes couples the energy released by electron transfer across it to an uptake of protons from water in the mitochondrial matrix, accompanied by the release of protons on the other side of the membrane into the intramembrane space. As result, the energetically favorable flow of electrons along the electron- transport chain pumps protons across the membrane out of the matrix. This event creates electrochemical protons across the inner membrane. The Proton Gradient Drives ATP Synthesis The electrochemical proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane is used to drive ATP synthesis in the process of oxidative Phosphorylation. The device that makes this possible is a large membrane-bound enzyme called ATP synthase. This enzymes creates a hydrophilic pathway across the inner mitochondrial membrane that allows protons to follow down their electrochemical gradient. As these ions thread their way through the ATP synthase, they are used to drive the energetically unfavorable reaction between ADP and Pi. 1 Proton Gradients Produce Most of the Cell’s ATP Glycolysis alone produces a net yield of two molecules of ATP for every molecule of glucose, which is the total energy yield for the fermentation process that occur in the absence of oxygen. In contrast, during the oxidative Phosphorylation each pair of electrons donated by NADH produced mitochondria is thought to provide energy for the formation of the about 2.5 molecules of ATP, once one includes the energy needed for transporting this ATP to cytosol. Oxidative Phosphorylation also produces 1.5 ATP molecules per electron pair of FADH2, or from the NADH molecules produced by glycolysis in the cytosol.

  • Lateral Ph Gradient Between OXPHOS Complex IV and F0F1 ATP-Synthase in Folded Mitochondrial Membranes
    ARTICLE Received 29 Sep 2013 | Accepted 13 Dec 2013 | Published 29 Jan 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4103 Lateral pH gradient between OXPHOS complex IV and F0F1 ATP-synthase in folded mitochondrial membranes Bettina Rieger1, Wolfgang Junge2 & Karin B. Busch1 Ion-driven ATP synthesis by rotary F0F1 ATP-synthase powers aerobic life. Since Mitchell’s seminal hypothesis, this synthesis has been discussed in terms of the proton-motive force between two bulk phases, each in equilibrium. In active mitochondria, a steady proton flow cycles between pumps and the distant ATP synthase. Here we determine the lateral pH profile along the p-side of cristae in situ by attaching a ratiometric fluorescent pH-sensitive GFP variant to OXPHOS complex IV, a proton pump, and the dimeric F0F1 ATP-synthase, a proton consumer. In respiring HeLa cells, we observe that the local pH at F0F1 dimers is 0.3 units less acidic than that at complex IV. This finding is consistent with the calculated pH profile for steady proton diffusion from CIV to F0F1. The observed lateral variation in the proton-motive force necessitates a modification to Peter Mitchell’s chemiosmotic proposal. The experimental technique can be extended to other pH-dependent reactions in membrane microcompartments. 1 Division of Mitochondrial Dynamics, Fachbereich Biologie/Chemie, Universita¨t Osnabru¨ck, D-49076 Osnabru¨ck, Germany. 2 Niedersachsen-Professur fu¨r Biophysik, Fachbereich Biologie/Chemie, Universita¨t Osnabru¨ck, D-49076 Osnabru¨ck, Germany.

Similar affinities for the ionic strength-depen- drial intermembrane ionic strength with respect to bulk dent change in fluorescence were found for bulk medium, medium external to the mitochondrial outer mem- soluble (9.8 ± 0.8 mM) and intermembrane space- brane. FITC-BSA exhibited an ionic strength-depen- entrapped FITC-BSA (10.2 + 0.6 mM). FITC-BSA con- dent fluorescence change with an affinity in the mM sistently reported an ionic strength in the intermem- range as opposed to its pH sensitivity in the #M range. brane space of the functionally and structurally intact A controlled, low pH-induced membrane fusion pro- mitochondria within ±20% of the external bulk solu- cedure was developed to transfer FITC-BSA encapsu- tion.
