  1. Redox States and Phosphorylation Potentials Bob Harris raharris@iupui.edu October 5, 2010

  2. Redox States • NAD+/NADH cytoplasm • NAD+/NADH mitochondria • NADP+/NADPH cytoplasm • NADP+/NADPH mitochondria

  3. Measuring the NAD+ redox state • Usually expressed as ratio of [NAD+]/[NADH] • Total NAD+ divided by total NADH? • Free NAD+ divided by free NADH? • Make any difference if we use total values or free values?

  4. Cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratios based on total (free and bound) NAD+ and NADH in rat liver StateNAD+NADHNAD+/NADH mol/g Fed 0.76 0.14 5.4 Starved 0.82 0.16 5.1

  5. Cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratios based on free concentrations StateNAD+/NADH Fed 725 Starved 528

  6. Calculating the NAD+ redox state Free values obtained by measuring metabolites of an equilibrium enzyme Lactate + NAD+ pyruvate + NADH+ H+ Keq = [pyruvate][NADH][H+] / [lactate][NAD+] [NAD+]/[NADH] = [pyruvate][H+] / [lactate] x 1/Keq

  7. Equilibrium constants • Equilbrium constants: for A B; Keq = [B]/[A] • Mass action ratios: MAR = [B]/[A] • Equilibrium enzymes:high activity; Keq = MAR • Nonequilibrium enzymes:low activity; Keq= MAR A B C D E F

  8. Cytoplasmic free NAD+/NADH Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes equilibrium reaction: Lactate + NAD+ pyruvate + NADH+ H+ Keq = [pyruvate][NADH][H+] / [lactate][NAD+] [NAD+]/[NADH] = [pyruvate][H+] / [lactate] x Keq Set pH = 7.0 and incorporate into Keq K’eq = [pyruvate][NADH]/ [lactate][NAD+] [NAD+]/[NADH] = [pyruvate]/[lactate] x 1/K’eq

  9. Example of calculation Freeze clamp liver of fed wild type mice: Lactate: 1.09  0.09 mol/g wet wt Pyruvate: 0.12  0.01 mol/g wet wt K’eq @ pH 7.0 = 1.11 x 10-4 [NAD+]/[NADH] = [pyruvate]/[lactate] x 1/K’eq [NAD+]/[NADH] = [0.120]/[1.09] x 1/1.11 x 10-4 [NAD+]/[NADH] = 991

  10. Effect of ethanol on liver cytosolic NAD+/NADH ratio Ethanol + NAD+ acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ Expect NADH drive pyruvate to lactate via: Pyruvate + NADH +H+ Lactate + NAD+ Expect decrease in NAD+/NADH ratio

  11. Effect of ethanol on liver cytosolic NAD/NADH ratio TreatmentNAD/NADH Control 719 Ethanol (2 millimoles) 132* *Five minutes after injection of ethanol.

  12. Equilibrium enzymes used for calculations of free ratios Mitochondrial free NAD+/NADH: -hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase -hydroxybutyrate + NAD+ acetoacetate + NADH + H+ K’eq @ pH 7.0 = 4.93 x 10-2 Glutamate dehydrogenase Glutamate + NAD+ yields -ketoglutarate + NADH + NH4+ K’eq @ pH 7.0 = 3.87 x 10-3 mM

  13. Effect of starvation on liver mitochondrial NAD+ redox state StateNAD+/NADHNAD+/NADH (Free)* (Total) Fed 7.3 2.2 Starved 4.7 ND *Calculated from concentrations of components of the glutamate dehydrogenase reaction.

  14. Effect of ethanol on liver mitochondrial NAD/NADH ratio Ethanol + NAD+ acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ Acetaldehyde + NAD+ acetate + NADH + H+ Expect NADH will drive -ketoglutarate to glutamate via: -Ketoglutarate + NADH +NH4+ glutamate + NAD+ Expect decrease in mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio

  15. Effect of ethanol on liver mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio TreatmentNAD+/NADH Control 7.7 Ethanol (2 millimoles) 2.7* *Five minutes after injection of ethanol.

  16. Equilibrium enzymes used for calculations of free ratios Cytoplasmic free NADP+/NADPH 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase: 6-phosphogluconate + NADP+ ribulose 5- phosphate + NADPH + H+ + CO2 Isocitrate dehydrogenase: Isocitrate + NADP+ -ketoglutarate + NADPH + CO2 Malic enzyme: Malate + NADP+ pyruvate + NADPH + H+ + CO2

  17. Keq for NADP+ coupled enzymes 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase 1.17 M Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1.72 x 10-1 M Malic enzyme 3.44 x 10-2 M

  18. Reactions catalyzed by NADP+ coupled enzymes produce CO2 CO2 concentration does not vary significantly under conditions that are normally studied. Rather than measure, usually assumed to be 1.16 mM. Caution: CO2 concentration is affected by changes in pH.

  19. Typical values of cytoplasmic NADP+/NADPH StateNADP+/NADPHNADPH/NADP+ Fed 0.009 110 Starved 0.006 175

  20. NADP+/NADPH ratio important • Sets the ratio of GSH/GSSG in cytoplasm because of equilibrium enzyme reaction catalyzed by glutathione reductase NADPH + H+ +GSSG 2 GSH + NADP+ • Driven far to the right because of very high NADPH/NADP+ ratio. • Important in both cytoplasm and mitochondrial matrix space

  21. NAD+/NADH ratio important for many reasons • High cytoplasmic NAD/NADH ratio favors oxidation of substrates. • Low cytoplasmic NAD/NADH results in low pyruvate and low oxaloacetate which inhibits glucose synthesis. • Free NAD+ is activator of SIRT1 • Free NADH is activator of the PDKs • Both serve as both substrates and allosteric effectors for many enzyme systems.

  22. Phosphorylation potential • Defined as [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] • Comes from:∆G = ∆Gº - RTln[ATP]/[ADP][Pi] • Two ways of determining • From measurements of total ATP, ADP, and Pi (not accurate because total [ADP] >>free [ADP]) • From concentrations of metabolites of equilibrium enzymes (much more accurate)

  23. Calculation of phosphorylation potentials [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] = [NAD+]/[NADH] x [glyceraldehyde-3-P]/[3-phosphoglycerate] x KGAPDH x KPGK

  24. Derivation Glyceraldehyde-3-P + NAD+ + Pi yields 1,3- bis-Phosphoglycerate + NADH + H+ 1,3-Phosphoglycerate + ADP yields 3-Phosphoglycerate + ATP Sum: Glyceraldehyde-3-P + NAD+ + Pi + ADP yields 3-phosphoglycerate + ATP + NADH KGAPDH x K3-PGK = [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] x [NADH]/[NAD+] x 3-[phosphoglycerate]/ [glyceraldehyde-3-P] [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] = [NAD+]/[NADH] x [glyceraldehyde-3-P]/[3-phosphoglycerate] x KGAPDH x K3-PGK

  25. Calculation of phosphorylation potentials [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] = [NAD+]/[NADH][H+] x [glyceraldehyde-3-P]/[3-phosphoglycerate] x KGAPDH x K3-PGK Obtain [NAD+]/[NADH] from [pyruvate]/[lactate] and KLDH [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] = [pyruvate]/[lactate] x [glyceraldehyde-3-P]/[3-phosphoglycerate] x {KGAPDH x K3-PGK}/KLDH

  26. Calculation of phosphorylation potentials Obtain [glyceraldehyde-3-P] from [dihydroxyacetone-P] and the Keq (22) for triose phosphate isomerase glyceraldehyde-3-P dihydroxyacetone-P Keq = 22 = [dihydroxyacetone-P]/ [glyceraldehyde-3-P] [glyceraldehyde-3-P] = [dihydroxyacetone-P]/22

  27. Calculation of phosphorylation potentials [ATP]/[ADP][Pi] = [pyruvate]/[lactate] x [dihydroxyacetone phosphate]/22 x 1/[3-phosphoglycerate] x {KGAPDH x K3-PGK}/KLDH {KGAPDH x K3-PGK}/KLDH =1.65 x 107 M-1

  30. Calculation of free [ADP] Free cytosolic [ADP] = [ATP]/{[Pi] x phosphorylation potential}

  31. Calculation of phosphorylation potentials ATPADPATP/ADPxPi* mol/g M-1 Total 3.38 1.32 531 Free 3.38 0.046 16,300 *[Pi] taken to be 4.8 mol/g; water content taken to be 0.8 grams per gram wet weight tissue.

  32. Calculation of free [AMP] From the equilibrium constant (1.05) for reaction catalyzed by myokinase: ATP + AMP 2 ADP Free cytosolic [AMP] = {[free cytosolic ADP]2 x KMK}/[measured ATP]

  33. Comparison of total measured [AMP] and calculated free [AMP] ADPAMP mol/g wet wt Total 1.32 0.294 Free cytosolic 0.046 0.0007* *0.7 nmoles/g wet weight!

  34. Important points about adenine nucleotides • Free [AMP] is much lower than total [AMP] - Important because [AMP] activates AMPK and functions as positive or negative allosteric effector for many enzymes. • Free [ADP] is much lower than the total [ADP] • Important because [ADP] determines respiration rate of mitochondria • Decrease in [ATP] results in increase in [AMP] because of equilibrium reaction catalyzed by myokinase: 2 ADP ATP + AMP

  41. Why difference between our data and the data of Burgess et al.? • Freeze clamping has to be done rapidly to preserve phosphorylation state of the adenine nucleotides. • Burgess et al. Approximately 20 seconds. • Our study: Less than 8 seconds.

  44. Freeze clamp protocol • Three people who can work together are required. One to manage stop watch; one strong person to handle freeze clamps; one person with good hands to kill mouse by cervical dislocation, open mouse with a single cut with scissors, tear out liver, and place on freeze clamp. • Practice until steps 4, 5, and 6 can be completed by team in less than 8 seconds. Discard any samples not clamped in less than 8 seconds. 3. Handle mice on several days prior to the experiment in the room in which the mice will be killed. Transport the mice to the killing room one at a time.  4. Person 1: start stopwatch at time of cervical dislocation; stop at time liver clamped. 5. Person 2: kill mouse by cervical dislocation with large pair of scissors; open mouse with a single cut with same scissors; tear out liver by hand; place liver on freeze clamps. 6. Person 3: clamp tissue with as much force as possible with liquid-nitrogen cooled clamps. 7. Clean the area and instruments before bringing the next mouse to the killing room.  (Mice are stressed by the odor of blood).
