Dynamic Regulation of the Mitochondrial Proton Gradient during Cytosolic Calcium Elevations

Abstract: Mitochondria extrude protons across their inner membrane to generate the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and pH gradient (ΔpHm) that both power ATP synthesis. Mitochondrial uptake and efflux of many ions and metabolites are driven exclusively by ΔpHm, whose in situ regulation is poorly characterized. Here, we report the first dynamic measurements of ΔpHm in living cells, using a mitochondrially targeted, pH-sensitive YFP (SypHer) combined with a cytosolic pH indicator (5-(and 6)-carboxy-SNARF-1). The re… Show more

“…pH in the mitochondrial matrix is estimated at~8.0 (40), but direct visualization of spatiotemporal pH dynamics using a genetically encoded mitochondrial pH indicator revealed two unique features of mitochondrial matrix pH: (1) an acidification during cytosolic Ca 2þ elevation by the activation of Ca 2þ / H þ transporters and (2) a spontaneous and transient alkalization, named pH flash (49,50). These mitochondrial pH changes have the potential to cause artifactual fluctuations in the fluorescent intensity of pH-sensitive GECIs.…”

“…Acidification of the cellular environment leads to protonation, thus mimicking reduction of the probe; alkalization on the other hand mimics oxidation (Belousov et al 2006). SypHer, a H 2 O 2 -insensitive HyPer variant (C199S) is a pH sensor and can be used as a control (Poburko et al 2011). Another family of fluorescent protein based redox-sensitive probes are the roGFPs, which were created by introducing oxidizable cysteine residues on the outside of the ß-barrel 8 structure of GFP near the location of the chromophore.…”
