SUIT-023 O2 ce D053

Description

Abbreviation: ?

Reference: A Determination of the respiration due to the cytochrome c oxidase pathway -SUIT-023

SUIT number: D053_ce1;ce2SHAM;ce3KCN

O2k-Application: O2

MitoPedia: SUIT

SUIT-category: ce

SUIT protocol pattern: linear ce1;ce2SHAM;ce3KCN

The SUIT-023 O2 ce D053 has been designed to provide an estimation of the mitochondrial respiration in microalgal intact cells due to the cytochrome c oxidase pathway, which is non-resistant to cyanide-and antimycin A inhibition. This protocol must be complemented with the study in parallel of the mitochondrial respiration due to the alternative oxidase pathway (see SUIT-022).

Steps and respiratory states

Step	State	Pathway	Q-junction	Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
ce1	ROUTINE			ce1 ROUTINE respiration in the physiological coupling state R. Externally added permeable substrates could contribute to this respiratory state.
ce2SHAM	ROX			ce1;ce2SHAM Salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) is an inhibitor of the alternative oxidase (AOX). When AOX is blocked by SHAM, electrons are forced through the cytochrome c oxidase (CIV) pathway. Rox is the residual oxygen consumption in the ROX state, due to oxidative side reactions, estimated either after inhibition of CIII (e.g. antimycin A, myxothiazol), CIV (e.g. Cyanide) or in the absence of endogenous fuel-substrates. Rox is subtracted from oxygen flux as a baseline for all respiratory states, to obtain mitochondrial respiration.
ce3KCN	ROX			ce1;ce2SHAM;ce3KCN Cyanide (usually added as KCN) is a competitive inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase (CIV). Rox is the residual oxygen consumption in the ROX state, due to oxidative side reactions, estimated either after inhibition of CIII (e.g. antimycin A, myxothiazol), CIV (e.g. Cyanide) or in the absence of endogenous fuel-substrates. Rox is subtracted from oxygen flux as a baseline for all respiratory states, to obtain mitochondrial respiration.

Strengths and limitations

• SUIT-023 O2 ce D053 provides an estimation of the cyanide-and antimycin A-non-resistant mitochondrial respiration in microalgal intact cells.
• The concentrations of inhibitors used in this protocol have been optimised for the specific case of the microalgal model species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

+ Short duration of experiment

- Estimation of the linear coupling control is not done

- The use of cyanide requires a careful and in deep cleaning of the chambers after use and careful handling of the chemical to guarantee health safety.

Compare SUIT protocols

• SUIT-022 O2 ce D051 has to be used in parallel to obtain complete information of the contribution of both alternative oxidase and cytochrome c oxidase pathways to mitochondrial respiration.
