This review is focused on the mechanism of ubiquinol oxidation by the cytochrome bc1 complex (bc1). This integral membrane complex serves as a "hub" in the vast majority of electron transfer chains. The bc1 oxidizes a ubiquinol molecule to ubiquinone by a unique "bifurcated" reaction where the two released electrons go to different acceptors: one is accepted by the mobile redox active domain of...
Coenzyme Q(10) is an essential cofactor in the respiratory chain and serves as a potent antioxidant in biological membranes. Recent studies in vitro and in vivo provide evidence that Coenzyme Q(10) is involved in inflammatory processes and lipid metabolism via gene expression. To study these effects at the epigenomic level, C57BL6J mice were supplemented for one week with reduced Coenzyme Q(10)...
The cytochrome c oxidase Cox2 has been purified from native membranes of the hyperthermophilic eubacterium Aquifex aeolicus. It is a cytochrome ba(3) oxidase belonging to the family B of the heme-copper containing terminal oxidases. It consists of three subunits, subunit I (CoxA2, 63.9 kDa), subunit II (CoxB2, 16.8 kDa), and an additional subunit IIa of 5.2 kDa. Surprisingly it is able to oxidi...
We studied the cytochrome bc1 complex (hereafter bc) by flash excitation of Rhodobacter capsulatis chromatophores. The reduction of the high-potential heme b(h), of cytochrome b (at 561 nm) and of cytochromes c (at 552 nm) and the electrochromic absorption transients (at 524 nm) were monitored after the first and second flashes of light, respectively. We kept the ubiquinone pool oxidized in the...
MicroRNAs (miRs) are involved in key biological processes via suppression of gene expression at posttranscriptional levels. According to their superior functions, subtle modulation of miR expression by certain compounds or nutrients is desirable under particular conditions. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces a reactive oxygen species-/NF-kappaB-dependent pathway which increases the expr...
Ubiquinol oxidase has been reconstituted from ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase (Complex III), cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase (Complex IV). The steady-state level of reduction of cytochrome c by ubiquinol-2 varies with the molar ratios of the complexes and with the presence of antimycin in a way that can be quantitatively accounted for by a model in which cytochrome c acts as a freely dif...
Ubiquinol-6 (reduced coenzyme Q6) was more effective than ubiquinone-6 and almost as effective as a-tocopherol in reducing the stable free radical diphenyl-p-picrylhydrazyl. The antioxidant activity of ubiquinol-6 was measured at low oxygen concentrations with an oxygen electrode. Ubiquinol-6 was found to be as e5cient as a-tocopherol as an inhibitor of the heme-catalyzed peroxidation of arachi...
AIM The present study was conducted to define the relationship between the anti-aging effect of ubiquinol-10 supplementation and mitochondrial activation in senescence-accelerated mouse prone 1 (SAMP1) mice. RESULTS Here, we report that dietary supplementation with ubiquinol-10 prevents age-related decreases in the expression of sirtuin gene family members, which results in the activation of ...
The AOX (alternative oxidase) is a non-protonmotive ubiquinol-oxygen oxidoreductase that couples the oxidation of ubiquinol with the complete reduction of water. Although it has long been recognized that it is ubiquitous among the plant kingdom, it has only recently become apparent that it is also widely found in other organisms including some human parasites. In this paper, we review experimen...
