Adenine nucleotide and phosphate transport systems of mitochondria. Relative location of sulfhydryl groups based on the use of the novel fluorescent probe eosin-5-maleimide.
Eosin-5-maleimide is impermeable to the inner mitochondrial membrane, exhibiting essentially no reactivity with matrix glutathione or with beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase located on the matrix surface of the inner membrane. In intact mitochondria, eosin-5-maleimide is unreactive with the ADP/ATP antiporter even under conditions which promote maximal labeling by N-[3H]ethylmaleimide (i.e., ADP present). However, eosin-5-maleimide readily labels the ADP/ATP antiporter in "inverted" inner membrane vesicles even in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide. Labeling is prevented if the vesicles are prepared from mitochondria pretreated with carboxyatractyloside. In contrast to the ADP/ATP antiporter, essential sulfhydryl groups of the Pi/H+ symporter are accessible to eosin-5-maleimide in intact mitochondria with optimal inhibition of phosphate transport being observed at 25 degrees C. Eosin-5-maleimide also prevents labeling of the Pi/H+ symporter by N-[3H]ethylmaleimide. These results show that essential sulfhydryl groups of the ADP/ATP antiporter and the Pi/H+ symporter have differing reactivities and locations in functionally intact mitochondria. With respect to eosin-5-maleimide, sulfhydryl groups of the ADP/ATP carrier occur in two distinct classes, both of which are inaccessible in intact mitochondria. Only one class, depending on conditions, can be exposed in submitochondrial particles. In contrast, sulfhydryl group(s) of the Pi/H+ symporter behave as a single reactive class which is readily accessible in mitochondria at 25 degrees C.
