Rupture of the mitochondrial outer membrane impairs porin assembly
Abstract
Outer membranes isolated from yeast mitochondria were capable mediating the in vitro insertion of porin. As with the outer membrane of intact mitochondria, the insertion was ATP-dependent, and the inserted porin was resistant to trypsin treatment after detergent solubilization. However, the extent of porin insertion into isolated outer membranes was much less per mg of outer membrane protein than with intact mitochondria. The greater efficiency of intact mitochondria was not due to contact site-mediated translocation as isolated contact sites were less able to insert porin than isolated outer membranes, and blockade of the contact site channel in intact mitochondria did not affect porin insertion. However, mitochondria that had been subjected to osmotic shock sufficient to rupture the outer membrane and deplete the contents of the intermembrane space (i.e. mitoplasts) lost most of their ability to insert porin. Since outer membranes are isolated from mitoplasts, the low insertion activity of mitoplasts explains the low efficiency of insertion into isolated outer membranes. These results also indicate that, unlike proteins that are imported to the inner membrane and matrix of the mitochondria, porin's assembly is severely reduced by breaching the outer membrane and depletion of the intermembrane space contents.
