BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cardiolipin plays an important role in mitochondrial
respiration and cardiolipin peroxidation is associated with age-related diseases.
Hydrophobic interactions between cytochrome c and cardiolipin converts cytochrome
c from an electron carrier to a peroxidase. In addition to cardiolipin
peroxidation, this impedes electron flux and inhibits mitochondrial ATP
synthesis. SS-31 (D-Arg-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH2 ) selectively binds to
cardiolipin and inhibits cytochrome c peroxidase activity. Here, we examined
whether SS-31 also protected the electron carrier function of cytochrome c.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Interactions of SS-31 with cardiolipin were studied using
liposomes and bicelles containing phosphatidylcholine alone or with cardiolipin.
Structural interactions were assessed by fluorescence spectroscopy, turbidity and
nuclear magnetic resonance. Effects of cardiolipin on electron transfer kinetics
of cytochrome c were determined by cytochrome c reduction in vitro and oxygen
consumption using mitoplasts, frozen and fresh mitochondria. KEY RESULTS: SS-31
interacted only with liposomes and bicelles containing cardiolipin in about 1:1
ratio. NMR studies demonstrated that the aromatic residues of SS-31 penetrated
deep into cardiolipin-containing bilayers. SS-31 restored cytochrome c reduction
and mitochondrial oxygen consumption in the presence of added cardiolipin. In
fresh mitochondria, SS-31 increased state 3 respiration and efficiency of ATP
synthesis. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: SS-31 selectively targeted cardiolipin
and modulated its interaction with cytochrome c. SS-31 inhibited the cytochrome
c/cardiolipin complex peroxidase activity while protecting its ability to serve
as an electron carrier, thus optimizing mitochondrial electron transport and ATP
synthesis. This novel class of cardiolipin therapeutics has the potential to
restore mitochondrial bioenergetics for treatment of numerous age-related
diseases.
