Abstract: As the knowledge base and importance of mitochondrial physiology to human health expands, the necessity for harmonizing the terminology concerning mitochondrial respiratory states and rates has become increasingly apparent. The chemiosmotic theory establishes the mechanism of energy transformation and coupling in oxidative phosphorylation. The unifying concept of the protonmotive force provides the framework for developing a consistent theoretical foundation of mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics. We follow guidelines of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) on terminology in physical chemistry, extended by considerations of open systems and thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The concept-driven constructive terminology incorporates the meaning of each quantity and aligns concepts and symbols to the nomenclature of classical bioenergetics. We endeavour to provide a balanced view on mitochondrial respiratory control and a critical discussion on reporting data of mitochondrial respiration in terms of metabolic flows and fluxes. Uniform standards for evaluation of respiratory states and rates will ultimately contribute to reproducibility between laboratories and thus support the development of databases of mitochondrial respiratory function in species, tissues, and cells. Clarity of concept and consistency of nomenclature facilitate effective transdisciplinary communication, education, and ultimately further discovery. ā€¢ Keywords: Mitochondrial respiratory control, coupling control, mitochondrial preparations, protonmotive force, uncoupling, oxidative phosphorylation, OXPHOS, efficiency, electron transfer, ET; proton leak, LEAK, residual oxygen consumption, ROX, State 2, State 3, State 4, normalization, flow, flux, O2 ā€¢ Bioblast editor: Gnaiger E

Executive summary

 Updated 2018-12-12
Figure 1. Internal and external respiration. Mitochondrial respiration is the oxidation of fuel substrates (electron donors) and reduction of O2 catalysed by the electron transfer system, ETS: (mt) mitochondrial catabolic respiration; (ce) total cellular O2 consumption; and (ext) external respiration. All chemical reactions, r, that consume O2 in the cells of an organism, contribute to cell respiration, JrO2. In addition to mitochondrial catabolic respiration, O2 is consumed by: (1) Mitochondrial residual oxygen consumption, Rox. (2) Non-mitochondrial O2 consumption by catabolic reactions, particularly peroxisomal oxidases and microsomal cytochrome P450 systems. (3) Non-mitochondrial Rox by reactions unrelated to catabolism. (4) Extracellular Rox. (5) Aerobic microbial respiration. Bars are not at a quantitative scale.
In view of the broad implications for health care, mitochondrial researchers face an increasing responsibility to disseminate their fundamental knowledge and novel discoveries to a wide range of stakeholders and scientists beyond the group of specialists. This requires implementation of a commonly accepted terminology within the discipline and standardization in the translational context. Authors, reviewers, journal editors, and lecturers are challenged to collaborate with the aim to harmonize the nomenclature in the growing field of mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics, from evolutionary biology and comparative physiology to mitochondrial medicine. In the present communication we focus on the following concepts in mitochondrial physiology:
  1. Aerobic respiration depends on the coupling of phosphorylation (ADP ā†’ ATP) to O2 flux in catabolic reactions. Coupling in oxidative phosphorylation is mediated by the translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane through proton pumps generating or utilizing the protonmotive force, that is maintained between the mitochondrial matrix and intermembrane compartment or outer mitochondrial space. Compartmental coupling distinguishes this vectorial component of oxidative phosphorylation from glycolytic fermentation as the counterpart of cellular core energy metabolism (Fig. 1). Cell respiration is distinguished from fermentation: (1) Electron acceptors are supplied by external respiration for the maintenance of redox balance, whereas fermentation is characterized by an internal electron acceptor produced in intermediary metabolism. In aerobic cell respiration, redox balance is maintained by O2 as the electron acceptor. (2) Compartmental coupling in vectorial oxidative phosphorylation contrasts to exclusively scalar substrate-level phosphorylation in fermentation.
  2. When measuring mitochondrial metabolism, the contribution of fermentation and other cytosolic interactions must be excluded from analysis by disrupting the barrier function of the plasma membrane. Selective removal or permeabilization of the plasma membrane yields mitochondrial preparationsā€”including isolated mitochondria, tissue and cellular preparationsā€”with structural and functional integrity. Subsequently, extra-mitochondrial concentrations of fuel substrates, ADP, ATP, inorganic phosphate, and cations including H+ can be controlled to determine mitochondrial function under a set of conditions defined as coupling control states. We strive to incorporate an easily recognized and understood, concept-driven terminology of bioenergetics with explicit terms and symbols that define the nature of respiratory states.
  3. Mitochondrial coupling states are defined according to the control of respiratory oxygen flux by the protonmotive force. Capacities of oxidative phosphorylation and electron transfer are measured at kinetically saturating concentrations of fuel substrates, ADP and inorganic phosphate, and O2, or at optimal uncoupler concentrations, respectively, in the absence of Complex IV inhibitors such as NO, CO, or H2S. Respiratory capacity is a measure of the upper bound of the rate of respiration; it depends on the substrate type undergoing oxidation, and provides reference values for the diagnosis of health and disease, and for evaluation of the effects of Evolutionary background, Age, Gender and sex, Lifestyle and Environment.
  4. Incomplete tightness of coupling, i.e., some degree of uncoupling relative to the substrate-dependent coupling stoichiometry, is a characteristic of energy-transformations across membranes. Uncoupling is caused by a variety of physiological, pathological, toxicological, pharmacological and environmental conditions that exert an influence not only on the proton leak and cation cycling, but also on proton slip within the proton pumps and the structural integrity of the mitochondria. A more loosely coupled state is induced by stimulation of mitochondrial superoxide formation and the bypass of proton pumps. In addition, the use of protonophores represents an experimental uncoupling intervention to asses the transition from a well-coupled to a noncoupled state of mitochondrial respiration.
  5. Respiratory oxygen consumption rates have to be carefully normalized to enable meta-analytic studies beyond the question of a particular experiment. Therefore, all raw data on rates and variables for normalization should be published in an open access data repository. Normalization of rates for: (1) the number of objects (cells, organisms); (2) the volume or mass of the experimental sample; and (3) the concentration of mitochondrial markers in the experimental chamber are sample-specific normalizations, which are distinguished from system-specific normalization for the volume of the chamber (the measuring system).
  6. The consistent use of terms and symbols will facilitate transdisciplinary communication and support the further development of a collaborative database on bioenergetics and mitochondrial physiology. The present considerations are focused on studies with mitochondrial preparations. These will be extended in a series of reports on pathway control of mitochondrial respiration, respiratory states in intact cells, and harmonization of experimental procedures.


Section 2: Oxidative phosphorylation and coupling states in mitochondrial preparations

Cell respiration and OXPHOS

Figure 2. Cell respiration and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Mitochondrial respiration is the utilization of fuel substrates (electron donors) for electron transfer to O2 as the electron acceptor. For explanation of symbols see also Figure 1. (A) Respiration in intact cells: Mitochondrial fuel substrates are the products of extra-mitochondrial catabolism of macrofuels or are taken up by the cell as small molecules. Many fuel substrates are catabolized to acetyl-CoA or glutamate, and further electron transfer reduces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to NADH or flavin adenine dinucleotide to FADH2. In aerobic respiration, electron transfer is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP, with energy transformation mediated by the protonmotive force, pmf. Anabolic reactions are linked to catabolism, both by ATP as the intermediary energy currency and by small organic precursor molecules as building blocks for biosynthesis (not shown). Glycolysis involves substrate-level phosphorylation of ADP to ATP in fermentation without utilization of O2. In contrast, extra-mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids and amino acids proceeds partially in peroxisomes without coupling to ATP production: acyl-CoA oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of FADH2 with electron transfer to O2; amino acid oxidases oxidize flavin mononucleotide FMNH2 or FADH2. Coenzyme Q, Q, and the cytochromes b, c, and aa3 are redox systems of the mitochondrial inner membrane, mtIM. Dashed arrows indicate the connection between the redox proton pumps (respiratory Complexes CI, CIII and CIV) and the transmembrane pmf. Mitochondrial outer membrane, mtOM; glycerol-3-phosphate, Gp; tricarboxylic acid cycle, TCA cycle.

(B) Respiration in mitochondrial preparations: The mitochondrial electron transfer system (ETS) is fuelled by diffusion and transport of substrates across the mitochondrial outer and inner membrane and consists of the matrix-ETS and membrane-ETS. ET-pathways are coupled to the phosphorylation-pathway. ET-pathways converge at the N-junction and Q-junction. Additional arrows indicate electron entry into the Q-junction through electron transferring flavoprotein, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase, choline dehydrogenase, and sulfide-ubiquinone oxidoreductase. The dotted arrow indicates the branched pathway of oxygen consumption by alternative quinol oxidase (AOX). The H+pos/O2 ratio is the outward proton flux from the matrix space to the positively (pos) charged vesicular compartment, divided by catabolic O2 flux in the NADH-pathway. The H+neg/PĀ» ratio is the inward proton flux from the inter-membrane space to the negatively (neg) charged matrix space, divided by the flux of phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. These are not fixed stoichiometries due to ion leaks and proton slip.

(C) OXPHOS coupling: O2 flux through the catabolic ET-pathway, JkO2, is coupled by the H+ circuit to flux through the phosphorylation-pathway of ADP to ATP, JPĀ».

(D) Phosphorylation-pathway catalyzed by the proton pump F1FOĀ­-ATPase (F-ATPase, ATP synthase), adenine nucleotide translocase, and inorganic phosphate transporter. The H+neg/PĀ» stoichiometry is the sum of the coupling stoichiometry in the F-ATPase reaction (Ā­2.7 H+pos from the positive intermembrane space, 2.7 H+neg to the matrix, i.e., the negative compartment) and the proton balance in the translocation of ADP3Ā­-, ATP4- and Pi2-.

To coauthors, editors, reviewers, and readers
The global MitoEAGLE network made it possible to collaborate with 500 coauthors to reach consensus on the present manuscript. Nevertheless, we do not consider scientific progress to be supported by ā€˜declarationā€™ statements (other than on ethical or political issues). Our manuscript aims at providing arguments for further debate rather than pushing opinions. We hope to initiate a much broader process of discussion and want to raise the awareness on the importance of a consistent terminology for the reporting of scientific data in the field of bioenergetics, mitochondrial physiology and pathology. Quality of research requires quality of communication. Some established researchers in the field may not want to re-consider the use of jargon which has become established despite deficiencies of accuracy and meaning. In the long run, superior standards will become accepted. We hope to contribute to this evolutionary process, with an emphasis on harmonization rather than standardization.

Letter to the Editors of scientific journals

Dear Editors:
We would like to ask you for your opinion about the increasingly urgent issue of nomenclature in mitochondrial physiology.
With your collaboration our goal is to make publications with data on mitochondrial respiration more generally comprehensible and data more universally useful by bringing better standardization of nomenclature and data presentation to the field.
As the knowledge base and importance of mitochondrial physiology to human health expand, the necessity for harmonizing nomenclature concerning mitochondrial respiratory states and rates has become increasingly apparent. In the frame of COST Action MitoEAGLE, we endeavour to provide a balanced view on mitochondrial respiratory control and a critical discussion on reporting data of mitochondrial respiration. Uniform standards for evaluation of respiratory states and rates will ultimately support the development of databases of mitochondrial respiratory function in species, tissues, and cells.
A Working Group of the COST Action MitoEAGLE is preparing a document on ā€˜Mitochondrial respiratory states and ratesā€™. The group is working on it with Open Access as a ā€˜MitoEAGLE preprintā€™ and the ultimate aim of publication in a scientific journal:
We would like to include your opinion as editor. We aim at providing a list of journals, from whom we received valuable feedback:
  1. Do you recognize a general need for a consensus on nomenclature and standards of reporting in the field of mitochondrial respiratory physiology?
  2. Can you provide comments and suggestions for the MitoEAGLE preprint: 'Mitochondrial respiratory states and ratesā€™ from your point of view as an editor?
  3. Which further steps do you suggest towards implementing a harmonized terminology on mitochondrial states and rates in your editorial policy?
I thank you for your considerations.
With kind regards,
COST Action MITOEAGLE
