Abstract:
COX deficiency in human presents a plethora of phenotypes which is not surprising given the complexity of the enzyme structure and the multiple factors and many steps required for its assembly. A functional COX requires three mitochondrially encoded subunits (Cox1p, Cox2p and Cox3p), at least 10 nuclearly encoded subunits, some of which are tissue specific, and a yet unknown number of assembly factors. Mutations in four of these factors, hSco1p, hSco2p, hCox10p and hSurf1p, have been associated with lethal COX deficiency in patients. Sco proteins, conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, are probably involved in the insertion of copper in COX. The role of hSco1p and hSco2p in this process was investigated in this work. Moreover the importance of some hSco mutations found in patients was analysed. Both in vitro and in vivo analyses show that the hSco proteins are localised in the mitochondria. Both proteins are per se unable to substitute for ySco1p. However, a chimeric construct consisting of the N-terminal portion, the TM and a part of the C-terminal portion of ySco1p and the remaining C-terminal part derived from hSco1p was able to complement a ysco1 null mutant strain. This construct was used to define the role of a point mutation (P174L) found in the hSCO1 gene of infants suffering from ketoacidotic coma. These mutation was shown to affect the COX activity and the levels of Cox1p and Cox2p. The fact that copper was able to suppress this mutation, strongly outlined the importance of Sco proteins in the copper insertion in COX. The C-terminal portions of recombinant hSco1p and hSco2p were purified from E. coli by affinity chromatography. The purified proteins were subjected to atomic emission and absorption analyses and were shown to specifically bind copper. A stoichiometry of 1:1 for hSco2p and of 0,6:1 for hSco1p was determined. To identify the Aa residues involved in copper binding, in vitro mutagenesis was performed. hSco1p and hSco2p, lacking the cysteines of the predicted metal binding site CxxxC, show a dramatic decrease in the ability to bind copper. A model for the structure of the metal binding site in hSco proteins is proposed. hSco proteins could bind copper with trigonal coordination, involving the two cysteines of the CxxxC motif and a conserved histidine. The purified recombinant proteins were also used in an enzymatic assay to test their ability to reduce disulfide bridges, similar to thioredoxin-like proteins involved in the assembly of bacterial COX. Both hSco proteins were not able to act as thioredoxins suggesting a role for the hSco proteins as copper chaperones. To define the pathway of the copper transfer to COX, hSco proteins were tested for their ability to interact with hCox17p, a mitochondrial copper chaperone, and with Cox2p, which contains two copper ions. An interaction between hSco1p and Cox2p was detected. Both hSco proteins were shown to homomerise and to form heterodimers one with each other. Two mutations found in hSCO2 patients suffering from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, (E140K and S225F) were shown not to affect the copper binding properties, the intracellular localisation and the ability to form homomers. In accordance to these data, a model is proposed in which hSco2p dimers transfer copper to hSco1p dimers. hSco1p dimers interact with COX and insert copper in the binuclear centre of Cox2p.

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse, le processus d'assemblage ainsi que la maturation du cytochrome c oxydase de type cbb3 (cbb3-Cox) ont été étudiés dans la proteobactérie phototrophique pourpe non soufrée Rhodobacter capsulatus. R. capsulatus contient une chaîne de transfert d'électrons très ramifiée et represente un modèle d’organisme très utilisé dans l'étude des processus respiratoires et photosynthétiques.Les cbb3-Coxs spécifiques des bactéries représentent la deuxième catégorie la plus abondante des cytochromes c oxydases après le type Cox-aa3, mais n'ont jusqu'à présent pas été étudiées en détail. Récemment, la première structure cristalline cbb3-Cox de P. stutzeri a été obtenue, fournissant ainsi une avancée majeure invitant à des etudes plus détaillées sur le mécanisme catalytique et le processus d'assemblage. Les études sur les procédés d'assemblage et de maturation sont d'une très grande importance en raison du fait que de nombreux agents pathogènes humains tels que Helicobacter pylori, Neisseria meningitidis ou Campylobacter jejuni utilisent ce type de Cox, ce qui par conséquent pourrait amener a développer une interessante cible thérapeutique.Cbb3-Cox dans R. capsulatus est encodé par le gène opéron ccoNOQP codant quatre protéines membranaires constitutives de cbb3-Cox. CcoP et CcoO sont des cytochromes de type c, contenant des motifs périplasmiques fixés à l’hème. CcoN est la sous-unité centrale catalytique contenant deux molécules d’hèmes de type b et un ion cuivre. L’étude de la distribution de l’ion Cu à la sous-unité CcoN et l'assemblage des quatre sous-unités dans le complexe actif cbb3-Cox complexe sont les thèmes principaux de ce travail.Ici, le rôle du facteur d'assemblage putatif CcoH, sa structure et son interaction avec cbb3-Cox ont été étudiés en détail. CcoH est une petite protéine membranaire codé dans le groupe de gènes ccoGHIS situé à proximité des gènes codant cbb3-Cox. L'analyse in vivo de la formation de cbb3-Cox dans une souche ne contenant pas le facteur CcoH a montré une absence totale de cbb3-Cox. De même, la stabilité du facteur CcoH a été considérablement altérée dans une souche avec deletion du gene ccoNOQP. La dépendance mutuelle des deux protéines suggère leur interaction directe, ce qui a été confirmé par la photoréticulation directe de CcoH à la sous-unité CcoN, l’immunodétection de CcoH dans les cbb3-Cox complexes sur gels Blue Native, la co-purification par marquage CcoH-cbb3-Cox et le marquage radioactive in vitro des complexes cbb3-Cox avec CcoH.[...]
In this thesis, the assembly and maturation process of the cbb3-type cytochrome c oxidase (cbb3-Cox) was studied in the purple-non-sulphur phototrophic α-proteobacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. R. capsulatus contains a highly branched electron-transfer chain and is a well studied model organism for investigating respiratory and photosynthetic processes.The bacteria-specific cbb3-Coxs represent the second most abundant class of cytochrome c oxidases after the aa3-type Cox, but have so far not been investigated in much detail. Recently, the first crystal structure of cbb3-Cox from P. stutzeri was obtained, providing a major breakthrough and inviting detailed studies on the catalytic mechanism and the assembly process. Studies on the assembly and maturation processes are of wide significance due to the fact that many human pathogens like Helicobacter pylori, Neisseria meningitides or Campylobacter jejuni use this type of Cox and it therefore might develop into an attractive drug-target. cbb3-Cox in R. capsulatus is encoded by the ccoNOQP gene operon which codes for four membrane proteins constituting cbb3-Cox. CcoP and CcoO are c-type cytochromes, containing periplasmic heme-binding motifs. CcoN is the central catalytic subunit which contains two b-type hemes and a copper ion. Investigating the delivery of Cu to the CcoN subunit and the assembly of all four subunits into the active cbb3-Cox complex were the main topics of this work. Here the role of the putative assembly factor CcoH, its structure and interaction with cbb3-Cox was investigated in detail. CcoH is a small membrane protein encoded in the ccoGHIS gene cluster located adjacent to the genes coding for cbb3-Cox. In vivo analysis of cbb3-Cox formation in a strain lacking ccoH showed the total absence of cbb3-Cox. Likewise, the stability of CcoH was drastically impaired in a ccoNOQP deletion strain. The mutual dependency of both proteins suggested their direct interaction, which was confirmed by site-directed photocrosslinking of CcoH to the CcoN subunit, by immunodetection of CcoH in cbb3-Cox complexes on Blue Native gels, by CcoH-cbb3-Cox co-purification and by in vitro labelling of cbb3-Cox complexes with radioactively labelled CcoH.[...]

Abstract:
Copper is an essential cofactor of two mitochondrial enzymes: cytochrome c oxidase (COX) and the mitochondrial localized fraction of Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (Sod1p). Copper incorporation into these enzymes is facilitated by a growing number of metallochaperone proteins. Here we describe two novel copper chaperones of COX, Cmc1 and Cmc2. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, both Cmc1 and Cmc2 localize to the mitochondrial inner membrane facing the intermembrane space. Cmc1 and Cmc2 are essential for full expression of COX and cellular respiration, contain a twin Cx9C domain, and are conserved from yeast to humans. Additionally, the presence or absence of these proteins not only determines full assembly of functional COX but also affects metallation of Sod1 suggesting these proteins might play a role on co-modulation of copper transfer to COX and Sod1. CMC1 overexpression does not rescue the respiratory defect of cmc2 mutants or vise versa. However, Cmc2 physically interacts with Cmc1 and the absence of Cmc2 induces a 5-fold increase in Cmc1 accumulation in the mitochondrial membranes. We conclude that Cmc1 and Cmc2 have cooperative but non-overlapping functions in cytochrome c oxidase biogenesis.

Abstract:
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem mitochondrialen Sco1-Protein der Hefe Saccharomyces cerevisiae sowie mit weiteren Vertretern der Sco-Proteinfamilie. Sco1p ist essenziell für die Assemblierung der Cytochrom c Oxidase (COX), dem terminalen Komplex der Atmungskette. Aufgrund von genetischen Daten wurde angenommen, dass es an der Insertion von Cu-Ionen in den COX-Komplex beteiligt ist. Dabei existieren zwei unterschiedliche Vorstellungen über seine Wirkweise: Einerseits könnte Sco1p als Cu-Chaperon selbst Cu-Ionen binden und anschließend auf die Cu-tragenden COX-Untereinheiten Cox1p und/oder Cox2p übertragen. Andererseits könnte es als Disulfidreduktase die in die Cu-Bindung involvierten Cysteinreste von Cox2p reduzieren und somit die Voraussetzung für eine Cu-Anheftung an Cox2p schaffen. In beiden Fällen wird den unter den Sco-Proteinen konservierten Aminosäuren Cystein(148), Cystein(152) und Histidin(239) eine Schlüsselrolle zugedacht. Es wurde gezeigt, dass diese Aminosäuren tatsächlich essenziell für die Funktion von Sco1p sind. Die Daten dieser Arbeit sprechen dafür, dass Sco1p als Cu-Chaperon fungiert: Sco1p zeigt keine Aktivität als Disulfidreduktase. Außerdem interagiert Sco1p mit Cox17p - dem Protein, das Cu-Ionen in die Mitochondrien importiert - und geht mit Cox2p eine Wechselwirkung ein. Im Rahmen der Interaktionsanalysen wurde weiterhin gezeigt, dass Sco1p homomere Komplexe ausbildet. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit lag in Untersuchungen zum homologen Sco2p aus Saccharomyces cerevisiae, das im Gegensatz zu Sco1p nicht essenziell für eine funkionsfähige COX ist. Trotz seiner großen Ähnlichkeit ist Sco2p nicht in der Lage, die Funktion von Sco1p zu erfüllen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit konnt aber demonstriert werden, dass Sco2p zumindest teilweise Sco1p ersetzen kann. Somit kann für beide Proteine angenommen werden, dass sie überlappende Funktionen besitzen. Übereinstimmend wurde nachgewiesen, dass Sco2p - wie Sco1p - in der Lage ist, mit Cox17p und mit Cox2p zu interagieren und außerdem heteromere Komplexe mit Sco1p formiert. Es wurde ein Modell zur Wirkweise von Sco1p und Sco2p entwickelt.

Abstract:
Electron transfer phenomena in proteins represent one of the most common types of biochemical reactions. They play a central role in energy conversion pathways in living cells, and are crucial components in respiration and photosynthesis. These complex biochemical reaction cascades consist of a series of proteins and protein complexes that couple a charge transfer to different forms of chemical energy. The efficiency and sophisticated optimisation of signal transfer in these natural redox chains has inspired engineering of artificial architectures mimicking essential properties of their natural analogues. Implementation of direct electron transfer (DET) in protein assemblies was a breakthrough in bioelectronics, providing a simple and efficient way for coupling biological recognition events to a signal transducer. DET avoids the use of redox mediators, reducing potential interferences and side reactions, as well as being more compatible with in vivo conditions. However, only a few haem proteins, including the redox protein cytochrome c (cyt.c), and blue copper enzymes show efficient DET on different kinds of electrodes. Previous investigations with cyt.c have mainly focused on heterogeneous electron transfer of monolayers of this protein on gold. An important advance was the fabrication of cyt.c multilayers by electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly. The ease of fabrication, the stability, and the controllable permeability of polyelectrolyte multilayers have made them particularly attractive for electroanalytical applications. With cyt.c and sulfonated polyaniline it was for the first time possible that fully electro-active multilayers of the redox protein could be prepared. This approach was extended to design an analytical signal chain based on multilayers of cyt.c and xanthine oxidase (XOD). The system does not need an external mediator but relies on an in situ generation of a mediating radical and thus allows a signal transfer from hypoxanthine via the substrate converting enzyme and cyt.c to the electrode. Another kind of a signal chain is based on assembling proteins in complexes on electrodes in such a way that a direct protein-protein electron transfer becomes feasible. This design does not need a redox mediator in analogy to natural protein communication. For this purpose, cyt.c and the enzyme bilirubin oxidase (BOD, EC 1.3.3.5) are co-immobilized in a self-assembled polyelectrolyte multilayer on gold electrodes. Although these two proteins are not natural reaction partners, the protein architecture facilitates an electron transfer from the electrode via multiple protein layers to molecular oxygen resulting in a significant catalytic reduction current. Finally, we describe a novel strategy for multi-protein layer-by-layer self-assembly combining cyt.c with an enzyme sulfite oxidase (SOx) without use of any additional polymer. Electrostatic interactions between these two proteins with rather separated pI values during the assembly process from a low ionic strength buffer were found sufficient for the layer-by-layer deposition of the both biomolecules. It is anticipated that the concepts described in this work will stimulate further progress in multilayer design of even more complex biomimetic signal cascades taking advantage of direct communication between proteins.
Elektronentransferphänomene in Proteinen stellen den häufigsten Typ biochemischer Reaktionen dar. Sie spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Energieumwandlung in der Zelle und sind entscheidende Komponenten in der Atmung und Photosynthese. Diese komplexen Kaskaden biochemischer Reaktionen setzen sich aus einer Reihe von Proteinen und Proteinkomplexen zusammen, die den Energietransfer an verschiedene Formen chemischer Energie koppeln. Die große Effektivität und Selektivität des Signaltransfers in diesen natürlichen Redoxketten war Vorbild für die Entwicklung künstlicher Architekturen, die die wesentlichen Eigenschaften ihrer natürlichen Analoga nachahmen. Die Implementierung des direkten Elektronentransfers (DET) von Proteinen mit Elektroden war ein Durchbruch im Bereich der Bioelektronik. Sie lieferte einen einfachen und effizienten Weg für das Koppeln biologischer Erkennungsereignisse an einen Signalumwandler. Durch den DET können Redoxmediatoren vermieden und damit potentielle Grenzflächen und Nebenreaktionen reduziert werden. Ebenso wird damit die Kompatibilität für in vivo Bedingungen erhöht. Jedoch zeigen nur einige Hämproteine wie das Redoxprotein Cytochrom c (Cyt c) und blaue Kupferproteine einen effizienten DET auf verschiedenen Elektrodentypen. Bisherige Untersuchungen mit Cyt c konzentrierten sich hauptsächlich auf den heterogenen Elektronentransfer von Monoschichten dieses Proteins auf Gold. Ein wichtiger Fortschritt war die Herstellung von Cyt c Multischichten durch die elektrostatische Layer-by-Layer-Technik. Die einfache Herstellung, die Stabilität sowie die kontrollierbaren Permeationseigenschaften von Polyelektrolyt-Multischichten machte sie besonders attraktiv für elektroanalytische Anwendungen. So gelang es auch zum ersten Mal vollständig elektroaktive Multischichten aus Cyt c und Polyanilinsulfonsäure zu präparieren. Dieser Ansatz wurde hier erweitert, um eine analytische Signalkette auf der Basis von Multischichten aus Cyt c und Xanthinoxidase zu entwerfen. Das System bedarf keinen externen Mediator, es hängt jedoch von der in situ Generierung eines vermittelnden Radikals ab und erlaubt daher einen Signaltransfer von Hypoxanthin über ein substratumwandelndes Enzym und Cyt c zur Elektrode. Eine andere Art von Signalketten basiert auf der Assemblierung von Proteinen in Komplexen auf Elektroden in solcher Art und Weise, daß ein direkter Protein-Protein-Elektronentransfer möglich wird. Dieser Ansatz benötigt keinen Redoxmediator in Analogie zu Beispielen aus dem biologischen Signaltransfer. Zu diesem Zweck werden Cyt c und das Enzym Bilirubinoxidase mit einem selbst-assemblierenden Polyelektrolyten auf einer Goldelektrode koimmobilisiert. Obwohl diese zwei Proteine keine natürlichen Reaktionspartner sind, unterstützt die Protein-Architektur einen Elektronentransfer von der Elektrode über mehrere Proteinschichten zu molekularem Sauerstoff und ergibt einen signifikanten katalytischen Reduktionsstrom. Schließlich wird eine neue Strategie beschrieben für eine Selbstassemblierung von Proteinen ohne zusätzlichen Polyelektrolyten - am Beispiel der Kombination von Cyt c mit Sulfitoxidase. Es stellte sich heraus, daß die elektrostatische Wechselwirkung zwischen diesen zwei Proteinen mit ziemlich weit voneinander entfernt liegenden pI-Werten während des Assemblierungsprozesses durch einen Puffer mit geringer Ionenstärke ausreicht um die beiden Biomoleküle nach dem Layer-by-Layer-Prinzip auf einer Elektrode abzuscheiden. Es wird erwartet, daß das entwickelte Konzept von Multiprotein-Assemblaten auf Elektroden weitere Fortschritte bei dem Entwurf von Multischichten und sogar noch komplexeren biomimetischen Signalkaskaden anregen wird und dabei der Vorteil der direkten Kommunikation zwischen Proteinen genutzt wird.

Abstract:
The biological membrane is composed of lipids and proteins that make up dynamic barriers around cells and organelles. Membrane-spanning proteins are involved in many key processes in the cell such as energy conversion, nerve conduction and signal transduction. These proteins interact closely with lipids as well as with other proteins in the membrane, which modulates and affects their structure and function. In the energy-conversion process, membrane-bound proton-transport proteins maintain an electrochemical proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane or the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. This gradient is utilized for ATP synthesis or transport of ions and molecules across the membrane. Results from earlier studies have shown that proton transporters are influenced by their environment. Here, one of these proton transporters, cytochrome c oxidase, has been purified and reconstituted into liposomes or nanodiscs and membrane effects on specific proton-transfer processes were studied. In these studies we observed that the membrane accelerated proton transfer to the surface of cytochrome c oxidase and that there is a protonic link, via a Glu residue that mediates proton transfer from the membrane surface to a proton-transfer pathway in this protein. In addition, the membrane was shown to modulate specific internal electron and proton-transfer reactions. The results from these studies show that the membrane composition influences transmembrane transport. Consequently, our understanding of these processes requires investigation of these transporter proteins in different membrane-mimetic systems of variable and well-defined composition. Furthermore, the data show that membrane surfaces facilitate lateral proton transfer which is presumably essential for maintaining high efficiency in energy conversion. This is particular important in organisms such as alkaliphilic bacteria where the driving force of the electrochemical proton gradient, between the bulk solution on each side of the membrane is not sufficient for ATP synthesis.

Abstract:
Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase (complex III) is a central component of the respiratory chain of the inner mitochondrial membrane. It transfers electrons from reduced ubiquinone to ferricytochrome c. Correctly assembled and functional complex III is an essential prerequisite for oxidative energy metabolism. Complex III deficiency has been reported to be associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. Formation and assembly of complex III requires a multitude of specific nuclearly encoded proteins. For example, gene specific translational activators for cytochrome b synthesis as well as three non-subunit proteins, which are important for assembly and/or stability have been detected. The role of Bcs1p in assembly of Rieske FeS protein and Qcr10p into complex III has been clasified recently. The role of the two putative chaperones, Cbp3p and Cbp4p, is not known. In spite of the similar phenotype of cbp3D and cbp4D strains, that suggests the role of both proteins in the same step of complex III assembly, we were able for the first time to demonstrate differences on the molecular level between both deletion mutants. We show by BN-PAGE that cbp3D and cbp4D mutants are disturbed in complex III assembly and accumulate intermediate-sized forms of the complex. Moreover deletion of CBP3 interferes with the formation of complex III/IV supracomplexes. Our studies show that Cbp3p and Cbp4p interact and are present in high molecular weight complexes, some of which might represent intermediates of complex III assembly. Overexpression of Cbp4p cannot substitute for the function of Cbp3p, but high level expression of Cbp3p can partially compensate for the lack of Cbp4p. Because lipids play an important role for complex III assembly and stability, we analysed the mitochondrial lipid composition of cbp3D and cbp4D mutants. Our data show that mitochondria of both mutants exhibit a wild type-like lipid composition, that favors the idea that Cbp3p and Cbp4p are specific assembly factors for complex III rather than components of the mitochondrial lipid metabolism. By complementation studies we have shown that Cbp3 proteins of S. cerevisiae, S. pombe and human are (partially) functional homologues. A yeast model based on chimeric constructs of S. cerevisiae and human proteins was constructed, which allows to test the pathogenicity of human mutations. To define the role/s of Cbp3p and Cbp4p in the assembly pathway of complex III, interactions of selected subunits with both assembly factors were analysed by TAP- or co-immunoprecipitation. Based on the results of Cbp3p and Cbp4p topologies, BN-PAGE analysis of null mutant strains and interaction studies a model for complex III assembly and the roles of Cbp3p and Cbp4p in this process are proposed. I present a hypothesis, according to which Cbp3p and Cbp4p form a ?scaffold? for the assembly of all three putative sub-complexes, may act independently in the first steps of bc1 complex assembly (e. g. the formation of sub-complexes) and interact together to assist the final assembly of sub-complexes into a mature enzyme

Abstract:
Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is one of two known Cu-containing enzymes in mitochondria. Delivery and insertion of copper into COX are very complex processes that require multiple steps and involve a large number of assisting factors. One of the involved components is Cox11p, a copper binding protein in the inner mitochondrial membrane that is conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. Cox11p is essential for respiratory growth and implicated in the assembly of the CuB site located in subunit Cox1p of COX. In the thesis the topology of Cox11p was determined and evidence for its association with the mitochondrial translation machinery is provided. The interaction of Cox11p with mitoribosomes is mediated by its single evolutionary conserved transmembrane segment and appears to be indirect and mediated by another conserved membrane protein(s). A model is proposed in which the CuB site is co-translationally formed by a transient interaction between Cox11p and the nascent Cox1p in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. In addition the genetic and biochemical characterization of S. pombe Cox11p homologue was performed. Two versions of cox11+ gene are detected in a haploid S. pombe genome. Cells lacking either of the cox11+ copies remain respiratory competent, whereas deletion of both S. pombe cox11+ alleles appears to result in either spore lethality or in severe decrease of spores viability. Thus, both versions of SpCox11p are functional and important. In S. pombe Cox11p exists as a tandem with the mitoribosomal protein Rsm22p. This precursor protein is cleaved during mitochondrial import into two mature protein species corresponding to Rsm22p- and Cox11p-like moieties.

Abstract:
In der vorliegenden Arbeit sind unterschiedliche Kopplungsstrategien des natürlichen Photosystems I (PSI) aus Cyanobakterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus mit verschiedenen Elektrodenoberflächen sowie Interaktion mit Nanomaterialien und Enzymen bearbeitet worden. Zum einen wurde gezeigt, dass die Immobilisierung des PSI auf modifizierten mehr-wandigen Kohlenstoffnanoröhrchen zur funktionalen Photobiohybridelektrode führt. Dabei wurde das PSI mit der Elektrode elektrisch mit Hilfe eines Redoxproteins, Cytochrom c (cyt c), verknüpft. Das System (PSI-cyt c) wurde auch auf eine dreidimensionale Elektrodenoberfläche des Metaloxids Indiumzinnoxid (eng. ITO) übertragen. Hierbei wurde zusätzlich die TransparenzEigenschaft solcher Oberflächen ausgenutzt. Die Präparation solcher transparenter Elektroden wurde optimiert, um höhere Photoströme zu generieren. Weiterhin wurde eine neue Methode der elektrischen Kontaktierung des PSI mit der Elektrode etabliert. Hierfür wurden Fullerene eingesetzt. Durch erhöhte molekulare Effizienz wurde gezeigt, dass Fullerene effektivere Elektronvermittler zwischen PSI und der Elektrode sind als das cyt c. Zusätzlich wurden im Rahmen dieser Doktorarbeit die photokatalytischen Eigenschaften von PSI mit den biokatalytischen Eigenschaften des Enzyms humane Sulphit Oxidase (hSOx) kombiniert. Hierbei wurde das Enzym als ein alternativer und effizienter Elektronzulieferer für PSI eingesetzt. Ein drittes Protein, das cyt c, fungierte als elektrisches Bindeglied und sicherte die elektrische Kommunikation zwischen den katalytischen Proteinen im System und der Elektrode. Die Komplexität des PSI sowie seine Kommunikation mit anorganischen Nanomaterialien und anderen komplexen Biomolekülen, wie z.B. Enzymen, zeigt ein großes Potential des Einsatzes von PSI-basierter Biohybriden in den Biotechnologien der Zukunft.
In this thesis, different strategies for coupling of the natural complex photosystem I from the cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus with different electrode surfaces, and the interaction of PSI with nanomaterials and enzymes has been investigated. First, it was shown that immobilization of PSI on modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) leads to a functional photobiohybrid electrode. Here, PSI has been electrically wired to the electrode via a redox-active protein, cytochrome c (cyt c). The system (PSI-cyt c) has been scaled up to the three-dimensional surface of a metal-oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO). Here, additionally the high transparency property of this material has been exploited. The new preparation procedure of such transparent electrodes has been optimized in order to achieve high pohotocurrents. Furthermore, a new method of electric wiring of the PSI with the electrode has been established. Here, fullerenes have been employed. The high molecular efficiency of such a system proves that fullerenes are more effective wiring agents between the PSI and the electrode as compared to the cyt c. Additionally, in this thesis the photocatalytic property of the PSI has been combined with the biocatalytic property of the enzyme human sulphite oxidase, hSOx. Here, the enzyme has been employed as an alternative electron supplier for PSI. The third protein, cyt c, acted as an electric wiring agent and ensured electric communication between both catalytic proteins of the system and the electrode. The versatility of the PSI as well as its communication with anorganic nanomaterials and biological molecules, e.g. such as enzymes, shows a great potential for use of PSI-based biohybrids in the future biotechnological applications.

Abstract:
The two related putative cytochrome c oxidase (COX) assembly factors HCC1 and HCC2 from Arabidopsis thaliana are Homologs of the yeast Copper Chaperones Sco1p and Sco2p. The hcc1 null mutation was previously shown to be embryo lethal while the disruption of the HCC2 gene function had no obvious effect on plant development, but increased the expression of stress-responsive genes. Both HCC1 and HCC2 contain a thioredoxin domain, but only HCC1 carries a Cu-binding motif also found in Sco1p and Sco2p. In order to investigate the physiological implications suggested by this difference, various hcc1 and hcc2 mutants were generated and analyzed. The lethality of the hcc1 knockout mutation was rescued by complementation with the HCC1 gene under the control of the embryo-specific promoter ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 3. However, the complemented seedlings did not grow into mature plants, underscoring the general importance of HCC1 for plant growth. The HCC2 homolog was shown to localize to mitochondria like HCC1, yet the function of HCC2 is evidently different, because two hcc2 knockout lines developed normally and exhibited only mild growth suppression compared with the wild type (WT). However, hcc2 knockouts were more sensitive to UV-B treatment than the WT. Complementation of the hcc2 knockout with HCC2 rescued the UV-B-sensitive phenotype. In agreement with this, exposure of wild-type plants to UV-B led to an increase of HCC2 transcripts. In order to corroborate a function of HCC1 and HCC2 in COX biogenesis, COX activity of hcc1 and hcc2 mutants was compared. While the loss of HCC2 function had no significant effect on COX activity, the disruption of one HCC1 gene copy was enough to suppress respiration by more than half compared with the WT. Therefore, we conclude that HCC1 is essential for COX function, most likely by delivering Cu to the catalytic center. HCC2, on the other hand, seems to be involved directly or indirectly in UV-B-stress responses.

Abstract:
Triops cancriformis (Crustacea: Notostraca) occurs in ephemeral habitats like rain pools or floodplain pools distributed over a large geographical range. The named habitats are disturbed by human impacts and, consequently, T. cancriformis is endangered throughout its distribution range. In the present thesis the populated habitats and threats are characterised and further morphological and genetic variations detected among and within European populations are reported. On the basis of recent investigations it is shown that T. cancriformis subspecies separation is hampered by an individual variability which points to the necessity of species revision. The analysis of mitochondrial gene sequence data suggests that the species has colonised most of Europe very recently. The advantage of a complex reproductive strategy in T. cancriformis in this process is discussed. The population structure resolved with nuclear DNA markers highlights that there is low allelic diversity among and within populations compared to other Branchiopoda (Daphnia). By means of the present study it can be shown that habitat conservation is most important to protect T. cancriformis.

Mgr. Daniela Fornuskova PhD thesis Biochemical and molecular studies of cytochrome c oxidase and ATP synthase deficiencies ABSTRACT The mammalian organism fully depends on the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) as the major energy (ATP) producer of the cell. Disturbances of OXPHOS may be caused by mutations in either mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or nuclear DNA (nDNA). One part of the thesis is focused on the role of early and late assembled nuclear-encoded structural subunits of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) as well as Oxa1l, the human homologue of the yeast mitochondrial Oxa1 translocase, in the biogenesis and function of the human CcO complex using stable RNA interference of COX4, COX5A, COX6A1 and OXA1L, as well as expression of epitope-tagged Cox6a, Cox7a and Cox7b, in HEK (human embryonic kidney)- 293 cells. Our results indicate that, whereas nuclear- encoded CcO subunits Cox4 and Cox5a are required for the assembly of the functional CcO complex, the Cox6a subunit is required for the overall stability of the holoenzyme. In OXA1L knockdown HEK-293 cells, intriguingly, CcO activity and holoenzyme content were unaffected, although the inactivation of OXA1 in yeast was shown to cause complete absence of CcO activity. In addition, we compared OXPHOS protein deficiency patterns in mitochondria from skeletal...

Abstract:
Mitochondria are the key source of vital ATP molecules, which are largely produced within cells by a system of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Genetic defects affecting any of the components of the oxidative phosphorylation system or the structure and function of mitochondria lead to mitochondrial disorders, which occur at an incidence rate of 1 in 5000 live births. Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is the terminal enzyme and electron acceptor of a respiratory chain that catalyses oxygen to produce a water molecule. In addition to complex I deficiency, isolated or combined COX deficiency is the most common respiratory chain defect in paediatric patients, and it can arise from mutations located either in mitochondrial DNA or in nuclear genes encoding the structural subunits or corresponding assembly factors of the enzyme complex. However, the molecular basis of COX deficiency remains elusive in many patients despite advances in the identification of an increasing number of mutations and genes involved in the disease. This thesis focuses on the identification of the genetic causes of mitochondrial diseases in a cohort of 60 unrelated Czech children with clinically and laboratory confirmed COX-deficiency. With the use of a high-resolution melting analysis mutation screen, four heterozygous sequence...

Abstract:
Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) represents the terminal enzyme complex of respiratory chain metabolic pathway and it occurs as monomer, dimer or as a part of respiratory supercomplexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane. COX assembly process is complicated, highly regulated and depends on many ancillary proteins. Mutations in COX subunits, which are encoded by mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, or in genes encoding its assembly proteins are frequent cause of very severe mitochondrial disorders. SURF1 assembly protein participates in the first steps of COX assembly, but its exact function is not yet clarified. In humans, mutations of SURF1 gene lead to severe COX defect and fatal neurodegenerative disorder, Leigh syndrome. Knockout of SURF1 gene in mouse causes isolated COX defect as well, but less pronounced and without involvement of CNS. The aim of the thesis was detailed analysis of disturbed COX biogenesis in a condition of SURF1 gene mutations or SURF1 gene knockout, from assembly of COX monomer to interaction of COX into supercomplexes, and to the impact of isolated COX defect on other OXPHOS complexes. Mutations of SURF1 gene in patient's fibroblasts led to marked accumulation of COX assembly intermediates and to a defect in formation of functional COX monomer, which was preferentially built into an...

Abstract:
Oxidative phosphorylation apparatus (OXPHOS) is responsible for production of majority of ATP in mammalian organisms. This process, occurring in the inner mitochondrial membrane, is partly regulated by nuclear-encoded subunits of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal enzyme of electron transport chain. Cox4 subunit, participating in OXPHOS regulation, is an early-assembly state subunit, which is necessary for incorporation of Cox2 catalytic subunit, thus for assembly of catalytically functional COX enzyme. Moreover, regulated expression of two isoforms (Cox4i1, Cox4i2) of Cox4 subunit is hypothesized to optimize respiratory chain function according to tissue oxygen supply. However, the functional impact of the isoform switch for mammalian tissues and cells is still only partly understood. In the present thesis, unique HEK293 cell line-based model with complete absence of subunit Cox4 (knock-out, KO) was prepared employing novel CRISPR CAS9-10A paired nickase technology and further characterized. Knock-out of both isoforms Cox4i1 and Cox4i2 (COX4i1/4i2 KO clones) showed general decrease of majority of Cox subunits resulting in total absence of fully assembled COX. Moreover, detected Complex I subunits as well as the content of assembled Complex I were decreased in COX4i1/4i2 KO clones. On the...

Abstract:
The activity of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (COX) can be affected by either exogenous or endogenous factors. The most efficient and in the environment abundant compound that inhibits COX is cyanide. The very frequent cause of COX deficiency in humans is represented by a defect in the SURF1 gene. The mechanism of cyanide inhibitory effect on COX as well as the conditions for its recovery are not yet fully explained. Three parameters of COX function, namely the transport of electrons (oxygen consumption), the transport of protons (mitochondrial membrane potential, m) and the enzyme affinity to oxygen (p50 value), were studied with regard to the inhibition by KCN and its reversal by pyruvate. The function of COX was analysed in intact isolated rat liver mitochondria, both within the respiratory chain and as a sole enzyme, using succinate or an artificial electron donor ascorbate + TMPD as a substrate. 250 M KCN completely inhibited both electron- and proton-transporting function of COX, and this inhibition was reversible as proved with washing of mitochondria. The addition of 60 mM pyruvate induced the maximal recovery of both parameters to 60 - 80 % of original values. Using KCN in the low concentration range up to 5 M, a profound, 30-fold decrease of COX affinity to oxygen was observed....

Abstract:
AAbbssttrraacctt:: The mammalian organism is entirely dependent on ATP production by oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) on the inner mitochondrial membrane. OXPHOS is composed of respiratory chain complexes I-IV, ATP synthase and also include two electron transporters cytochrome c and coenzyme Q. Disorders of mitochondrial energy metabolism caused by OXPHOS defects are characterized by extreme heterogeneity of clinical symptoms, variability of tissues affected and the severity of the defect at the level of individual tissues. The mitochondrial disorders are not always clearly expressed at the level of available tissue or most easily available cultured fibroblasts and/or currently available methods are not capable to detect the defects on the fibroblasts level. The aim of this master thesis was to identify by biochemical methods, especially by high sensitive polarography, OXPHOS disorders in cultured fibroblasts. Cell lines from 10 patients with isolated (SURF21, SCO1 ND1, ND5) or combined defects of OXPHOS complexes whose biochemical defect was confirmed in muscle tissue as well as 14 patients with non- mitochondrial diseases (8 patients with Huntington disease, 6 patients with disorder of sulphur amino acids metabolism) were analysed.
