Cryo-EM structure of Arabidopsis thaliana complex-I (closed conformation)
Structural highlights
FunctionNU3M_ARATH Core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) that is believed to belong to the minimal assembly required for catalysis. Complex I functions in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedMitochondrial complex I is the main site for electron transfer to the respiratory chain and generates much of the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Complex I is composed of two arms, which form a conserved L-shape. We report the structures of the intact, 47-subunit mitochondrial complex I from Arabidopsis thaliana and the 51-subunit complex I from the green alga Polytomella sp., both at around 2.9 A resolution. In both complexes, a heterotrimeric gamma-carbonic anhydrase domain is attached to the membrane arm on the matrix side. Two states are resolved in A. thaliana complex I, with different angles between the two arms and different conformations of the ND1 (NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1) loop near the quinol binding site. The angle appears to depend on a bridge domain, which links the peripheral arm to the membrane arm and includes an unusual ferredoxin. We propose that the bridge domain participates in regulating the activity of plant complex I. A ferredoxin bridge connects the two arms of plant mitochondrial complex I.,Klusch N, Senkler J, Yildiz O, Kuhlbrandt W, Braun HP Plant Cell. 2021 Jul 19;33(6):2072-2091. doi: 10.1093/plcell/koab092.
