RESUMO

Oxidation of the Adenine Nucleotide Translocase (ANT) cysteine residue 56 (ANT-cys56) is potentially involved in Ca2+-induced Mitochondrial Permeability Transition (MPT), a process which is prevented by cyclosporine A (CsA), due to its inhibition of Permeability Transition Pore (PTP) opener component, the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase cyclophylin D (cyp D). The main aspects of ANT, cardiolipins (CDL) and cyp D on Ca2+-induced PTP opening were addressed by employing light scattering techniques in isolated rat liver mitochondria to assess both ANT conformational change and mitochondrial swelling in association with computational chemistry analysis of Molecular Interaction Fields (MIF) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) for PTP events predictions. Computational analysis revealed that Ca2+ interacts preferentially with the ANT surrounding CDL bound to the H4 helix of the carrier and weakens the CDL/ANT interactions accounting for the ADP-sensitive increase of ANT-cys56 relative mobility while ANT-pro61 cis to trans configuration inversion intensified the Ca2+ effect in a ADP-insensitive way. The ANT conformation and mitochondrial swelling analyses demonstrated that Ca2+ induces conformation c of ANT and opens PTP in a CsA- and ADP-sensitive way. Cyp D stabilizes Ca2+-induced ANT conformation c, whereas ATR renders a PTP opening less sensitive to the inhibition by CsA or ADP. The results suggest that Ca2+-induced PTP opening involves ANT conformation c change supported by a cyp D-induced trans to cys ANT-pro61 configuration inversion based on the relative mobility of ANT-cys56, in a ADP-sensitive manner.
