Steps and respiratory states

Step	State	Pathway	Q-junction	Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
1PalM	PalML(n)	F(N)	CETF	1PalM Respiratory stimulation of the FAO-pathway, F, by fatty acid FA in the presence of malate M. Malate is a type N substrate (N), required for the F-pathway. In the presence of anaplerotic pathways (e.g., mitochondrial malic enzyme, mtME) the F-pathway capacity is overestimated, if there is an added contribution of NADH-linked respiration, F(N) (see SUIT-002). The FA concentration has to be optimized to saturate the FAO-pathway, without inhibiting or uncoupling respiration. Non-phosphorylating resting state (LEAK state); LEAK respiration L(n) in the absence of ADP, ATP, AMP (no adenylates).
2D	PalMP	F(N)	CETF	1PalM;2D Respiratory stimulation of the FAO-pathway, F, by fatty acid FA in the presence of malate M. Malate is a type N substrate (N), required for the F-pathway. In the presence of anaplerotic pathways (e.g., mitochondrial malic enzyme, mtME) the F-pathway capacity is overestimated, if there is an added contribution of NADH-linked respiration, F(N) (see SUIT-002). The FA concentration has to be optimized to saturate the FAO-pathway, without inhibiting or uncoupling respiration. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
2c	PalMP	F(N)	CETF	1PalM;2D;2c Addition of cytochrome c yields a test for integrity of the mtOM (cytochrome c control efficiency). Stimulation by added cytochrome c would indicate an injury of the mtOM and limitation of respiration in the preceding state without added c due to loss of cytochrome c. Typically, cytochrome c is added immediately after the earliest ADP-activation step (OXPHOS capacity P with saturating [ADP]). Respiratory stimulation of the FAO-pathway, F, by fatty acid FA in the presence of malate M. Malate is a type N substrate (N), required for the F-pathway. In the presence of anaplerotic pathways (e.g., mitochondrial malic enzyme, mtME) the F-pathway capacity is overestimated, if there is an added contribution of NADH-linked respiration, F(N) (see SUIT-002). The FA concentration has to be optimized to saturate the FAO-pathway, without inhibiting or uncoupling respiration. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
3Oct	PalOctMP	F(N)	CETF	1PalM;2D;2c;3Oct Respiratory stimulation of the FAO-pathway, F, by fatty acid FA in the presence of malate M. Malate is a type N substrate (N), required for the F-pathway. In the presence of anaplerotic pathways (e.g., mitochondrial malic enzyme, mtME) the F-pathway capacity is overestimated, if there is an added contribution of NADH-linked respiration, F(N) (see SUIT-002). The FA concentration has to be optimized to saturate the FAO-pathway, without inhibiting or uncoupling respiration. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
4P	PalOctPMP	FN	CETF&CI	1PalM;2D;2c;3Oct;4P Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of the F-pathway and N-pathway with convergent electron flow in the FN-pathway for evaluation of an additive or inhibitory effect of F. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
5G	PalOctPGMP	FN	CETF&CI	1PalM;2D;2c;3Oct;4P;5G Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of the F-pathway and N-pathway with convergent electron flow in the FN-pathway for evaluation of an additive or inhibitory effect of F. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
6U	PalOctPGME	FN	CETF&CI&II	1PalM;2D;2c;3Oct;4P;5G;6U Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of the F-pathway and N-pathway with convergent electron flow in the FN-pathway for evaluation of an additive or inhibitory effect of F. Uncoupler titration (avoiding inhibition by high uncoupler concentrations) to obtain electron transfer (ET) capacity E (noncoupled ET-state). Test for limitation of OXPHOS capacity P by the phosphorylation system (ANT, ATP synthase, phosphate transporter) relative to ET capacity E in mt-preparations: E-P control efficiency and E-L coupling efficiency. In living cells: E-R control efficiency and E-L coupling efficiency. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
7S	PalOctPGMSE	FNS	CI&CII	1PalM;2D;2c;3Oct;4P;5G;6U;7S Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of the F-pathway, N-pathway, and S-pathway, with convergent electron flow in the FNS-pathway for reconstitution of TCA cycle function and additive or inhibitory effect of F. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
8Rot	SE	S	CII	1PalM;2D;2c;3Oct;4P;5G;6U;7S;8Rot Succinate pathway control state (S-pathway) after inhibiting CI with rotenone, which also inhibits the F-pathway. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
9Ama	ROX			1PalM;2D;2c;3Oct;4P;5G;6U;7S;8Rot;9Ama Rox is the residual oxygen consumption in the ROX state, due to oxidative side reactions, estimated after addition of antimycin A (inhibitor of CIII). Rox is subtracted from oxygen flux as a baseline for all respiratory states, to obtain mitochondrial respiration (mt).

Strengths and limitations

• SUIT-019 allows the study of OXPHOS capacity in the fatty acid oxidation (F) and fatty acid oxidation&NADH pathway (FN) control states.

+ The protocol provides information on F-pathway (in presence of palmitoylcarnitine, and palmitoylcarnitine&octanoylcarnitine) in LEAK and OXPHOS states. In human heart muscle, the addition of octanoylcarnitine to palmitoylcarnitine&malate increased OXPHOS by 26% (Lemieux H et al 2011).

+ SUIT-019 provides information of the linear coupling (L-P) in FN-pathway.

+ Maximum ET capacity in FNS-pathway is obtained in SUIT-019.

+ P/E for FN-pathway (5G/6U) can be calculated.

+ Reasonable duration of the experiment.

- Octanoylcarnitine and palmitoylcarnitine can have an uncoupling effect on OXPHOS state if their concentration is not optimized.

- In the presence of anaplerotic pathways F-pathway is overestimated.

- CIV activity is not measured, to save experimental time.

Compare SUIT protocols

• SUIT-002 (RP2): SUIT protocol specially designed to give information on F-pathway in OXPHOS state avoiding FAO overestimation in the presence of anaplerotic pathways. Moreover, the pathway control in OXPHOS state (F, F(N), FN, FNS, FNSGp pathways) and in ET state (FNSGp and SGp) can be evaluated by using this SUIT protocol.
