Abstract: Electron transfer from all respiratory system dehydrogenases of the electron transport system (ETS) converges at the level of the quinone (Q) pool. The Q redox state is thus a function of electron input (reduction) and output (oxidation) and closely reflects the mitochondrial respiratory state. Disruption of electron flux at the level of the cytochrome bc1 Complex (CIII) or cytochrome c oxidase (CIV) shifts the Q redox poise to a more reduced state which is generally sensed as respiratory stress. To cope with respiratory stress, many species, but not insects and vertebrates, express alternative oxidase (AOX) which acts as an electron sink for reduced Q and by-passes CIII and CIV. Here, we used Ciona intestinalis AOX xenotopically expressed in mouse mitochondria to study how respiratory states impact the Q poise and how AOX may be used to restore respiration. Particularly interesting is our finding that electron input through succinate dehydrogenase (CII), but not NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (CI), reduces the Q pool almost entirely (>90 %) irrespective of the respiratory state. AOX enhances the forward electron transfer (FET) from CII thereby decreasing reverse electron transfer (RET) and ROS specifically when non-phosphorylating. AOX is not engaged with CI substrates, however, unless a respiratory inhibitor is added. This sheds new light on Q poise signaling, the biological role of CII which enigmatically is the only ETS complex absent from respiratory supercomplexes but yet participates in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Finally, we delineate potential risks and benefits arising from therapeutic AOX transfer.
