The glutamate-dependent respiration of isolated BM (brain mitochondria) is regulated by Ca-cyt(2+) (cytosolic Ca2+) (S-0.5 = 225 +/- 22 nM) through its effects on aralar. We now also demonstrate that the a-glycerophosphate-dependent respiration is controlled by Ca-cyt(2+) (S-0.5 = 60 +/- 10 nM). At higher Ca-cyt(2+) (>600 nM), BM accumulate Ca2+ which enhances the rate of intramitochondrial dehydrogenases. The Ca2+-induced increments of state 3 respiration decrease with substrate in the order glutamate>alpha-oxoglutarate>isocitrate>alpha-glycerophosphate>pyruvate. Whereas the oxidation of pyruvate is only slightly influenced by Ca-cyt(2+), we show that the formation of pyruvate is tightly controlled by Ca-cyt(2+). Through its common substrate couple NADH/NAD(+), the formation of pyruvate by LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) is linked to the MAS (malate-aspartate shuttle) with aralar as a central component. A rise in Ca-cyt(2+) in a reconstituted system consisting of BM, cytosolic enzymes of MAS and LDH causes an up to 5-fold enhancement of OXPHOS (oxidative phosphorylation) rates that is due to an increased substrate supply, acting in a manner similar to a 'gas pedal'. In contrast, Ca-mit(2+) (intramitochondrial Ca2+) regulates the oxidation rates of substrates which are present within the mitochondrial matrix. We postulate that Ca-cyt(2+) is a key factor in adjusting the mitochondrial energization to the requirements of intact neurons.
