Oligomycin sensitivity of mitochondrial F1F0-ATPase in diabetes-prone BHE/Cdb rats

Sook-Bae Kim and Carolyn D. Berdanier

Department of Foods and Nutrition, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602-3622

BHE/Cdb and Sprague-Dawley rats differ in their mitochondrial DNA sequence for the ATPase 6 ("subunit a") gene. Base substitutions in this sequence result in the substitution of asparagine for aspartate at position 101 and the substitution of serine for leucine at position 129. Differences in sensitivity to oligomycin were observed. When the isolated F1F0-ATPase complex was studied and ATPase activity was assessed, that which was isolated from the BHE/Cdb rats was less sensitive to oligomycin inhibition than that which was isolated from the Sprague-Dawley rats. In contrast, when oxygen consumption was measured [oxygen phosphorylation (OXPHOS)] and a dose-response curve was generated with isolated mitochondria from these two strains, there was a shift to the left for the BHE/Cdb rat mitochondria. These mitochondria were more sensitive to oligomycin inhibition of OXPHOS than were mitochondria isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats. The OXPHOS results are consistent with those from human fibroblasts having either a normal or mutated ATPase 6 gene.
