The subunits forming the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system are coded by both nuclear and mitochondrial genes. Recently, we attempted to introduce mtDNA from non-human apes into a human cell line lacking mtDNA (rho degrees), and succeeded in producing human-common chimpanzee, human-pigmy chimpanzee, and human-gorilla xenomitochondrial cybrids (HXC), Here, we present a comprehensive characterization of oxidative phosphorylation function in these cells. Mitochondrial complexes TC, III, IV, and V had activities indistinguishable from parental human or non-human primate cells. In contrast, a complex I deficiency was observed in all HXC. Kinetic studies of complex I using decylubiquinone or NADH as Limiting substrates showed that the V-max was decreased in HXC by approximately 40%, and the K-m for the NADH was significantly increased (3-fold, p < 0.001), Rotenone inhibition studies of intact cell respiration and pyruvate-malate oxidation in permeabilized cells showed that 3 nM rotenone produced a mild effect in control cells (0-10% inhibition) but produced a marked inhibition of HXC respiration (50-75%). Immunoblotting analyses of three subunits of complex I (ND1, 75 and 49 kDa) showed that their relative amounts were not significantly altered in HXC cells, These results establish EMC as cellular models of complex I deficiency in humans and underscore the importance of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes co-evolution in optimizing oxidative phosphorylation function.
