LID - 10.3390/cells11050908 [doi] LID - 908 AB - Thyroid hormones regulate tissue metabolism to establish an energy balance in the cell, in particular, by affecting oxidative phosphorylation. Their long-term impact is mainly associated with changes in gene expression, while the short-term effects may differ in their mechanisms. Our work was devoted to studying the short-term effects of hormones T2, T3 and T4 on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) mediated by direct contact with the enzyme. The data obtained indicate the existence of two separate sites of CcO interaction with thyroid hormones, differing in their location, affinity and specificity to hormone binding. First, we show that T3 and T4 but not T2 inhibit the oxidase activity of CcO in solution and on membrane preparations with K(i) approximately 100-200 muM. In solution, T3 and T4 compete in a 1:1 ratio with the detergent dodecyl-maltoside to bind to the enzyme. The peroxidase and catalase partial activities of CcO are not sensitive to hormones, but electron transfer from heme a to the oxidized binuclear center is affected. We believe that T3 and T4 could be ligands of the bile acid-binding site found in the 3D structure of CcO by Ferguson-Miller's group, and hormone-induced inhibition is associated with dysfunction of the K-proton channel. A possible role of this interaction in the physiological regulation of the enzyme is discussed. Second, we find that T2, T3, and T4 inhibit superoxide generation by oxidized CcO in the presence of excess H(2)O(2). Inhibition is characterized by K(i) values of 0.3-5 muM and apparently affects the formation of O(2)(●-) at the protein surface. The second binding site for thyroid hormones presumably coincides with the point of tight T2 binding on the Va subunit described in the literature. FAU - Oleynikov, Ilya P AU - Oleynikov IP AD - A.N.
