CELL ORIGINS AND METABOLISM | Lead Editor: Gary Coté, Mario De Tullio Why Are Cells Powered by Proton Gradients? By: Nick Lane, Ph.D. (Research Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London ) © 2010 Nature Education Citation: Lane, N. (2010) Why Are Cells Powered by Proton Gradients? Nature Education 3(9):18 The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity Why do virtually all cells "breathe" by pumping protons (hydrogen ions) across a membrane? According to molecular biologist Leslie Orgel, this is the single most counterintuitive idea in biology after Darwin's, and the only one to bear comparison with the concepts of Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and Einstein (Orgel 1999). Pioneered by the eccentric British biochemist Peter Mitchell (Figure 1), largely in his own research laboratories in a renovated country house in rural Cornwall, the concept was controversial for more than twenty years. This period of controversy was known as the "ox-phos wars" (after "oxidative phosphorylation," the mechanism of ATP synthesis in respiration). The wars drew to an end only after Mitchell received the Nobel Prize in 1978. There's an irony here. Mitchell's Nobel was for work in chemistry, yet his Figure 1: Peter Mitchell and the ATP synthase enzyme ideas are actually about the elimination of chemistry.

PRESS RELEASE Embargoed Until 1800 London Time / 1300 US
PRESS RELEASE August 27, 2019 Embargoed until 1800 London time / 1300 US Eastern Time on 28 August 2019 High-end microscopy reveals structure and function of crucial metabolic enzyme Structural biologists reveal the atomic structure and regulative mechanism of the metabolic enzyme transhydrogenase – Results are the first to be published based on state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscope at IST Austria The enzyme transhydrogenase plays a central role in regulating metabolic processes in animals and humans alike. Malfunction can lead to serious disorders. For the first time, structural biologists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) have now visualized and analyzed the enzyme’s atomic structure with the support of the institute’s newly installed high- end cryo-electron microscope. The data presented in the journal Nature are relevant for the development of currently unavailable therapeutic options. Within each cell, the power houses called mitochondria continuously break down molecules derived from food to generate energy as well as to produce new molecules that serve as building blocks of cells. Balancing these two opposing processes is accomplished by an enzyme called proton- translocating transhydrogenase or NNT (nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase). NNT sits in the mitochondria’s membrane and uses the electrochemical proton gradient generated by cellular respiration to provide the mitochondria with just the right amount of the co-enzyme NADPH, a vital metabolic precursor. The proper functioning of NNT is crucial for metabolic regulation in all animals including humans. However, the details of how NNT accomplishes the coordinated transfer of protons across the membrane and synthesis of NADPH have remained obscure due to the lack of knowledge about the enzyme’s atomic structure. -
