The metabolic state of the heart regulates mitochondrial supercomplex abundance in mice.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial supercomplexes are observed in mammalian tissues with high energy demand and may influence metabolism and redox signaling. Nevertheless, the mechanisms that regulate supercomplex abundance remain unclear. In this study, we examined the composition of supercomplexes derived from murine cardiac mitochondria and determined how their abundance changes with substrate provision or by genetically induced changes to the cardiac glucose-fatty acid cycle. Protein complexes from digitonin-solubilized cardiac mitochondria were resolved by blue-native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and were identified by mass spectrometry and immunoblotting to contain constituents of Complexes I, III, IV, and V as well as accessory proteins involved in supercomplex assembly and stability, cristae arch
