Notes

The antibody cocktail should be diluted 250 X to a final working concentration of 2µg/mL for western blotting. COXI is a highly hydrophobic protein and appears as a broad band at ~35 kDa (not at its true molecular weight at 57 kDa). It is very sensitive to heating. Therefore, the samples, including the positive control, should not be heated over 50°C before loaded on the gel.

Notes

The MitoBiogenesis™ western blotting cocktail (ab123545) is designed to study the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular stress in response to environmental stimuli. It also can be used to monitor drug-induced effects on mitochondrial biogenesis. The two main components of this cocktail target two proteins, which are each subunits of a different oxidative phosphorylation enzyme complex, one subunit I of Complex IV (COX-I), which is mtDNA-encoded, and the 70kDa subunit of Complex II (SDH-A), which is nDNA-encoded. Complex IV includes several proteins which are encoded in the mitochondrion, while the proteins of Complex II are entirely encoded in the nucleus. An anti-Beta actin antibody is used as loading control.

Activity summary

The combined target of SDHA COX1 and Beta-Actin involves three proteins with distinct mechanical roles in the cell. SDHA also known as succinate dehydrogenase subunit A exhibits a mass of approximately 70 kDa and functions as part of the mitochondrial complex II. COX1 or cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 weighs around 57 kDa and is integral to the electron transport chain. Beta-Actin a cytoskeletal protein with a mass of about 42 kDa maintains cellular structure. SDHA and COX1 are expressed in mitochondria whereas Beta-Actin is found in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells.

Biological function summary

SDHA helps convert succinate to fumarate in the Krebs cycle also known as the citric acid cycle as part of mitochondrial complex II. COX1 facilitates the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen in mitochondrial complex IV. Beta-Actin plays roles in maintaining cell shape enabling cell motility and facilitating intracellular transport. Together SDHA and COX1 are involved in mitochondrial activities essential for energy production while Beta-Actin supports structural integrity.

Pathways

SDHA and COX1 significantly contribute to oxidative phosphorylation and the Krebs cycle important for energy metabolism. SDHA interacts with fumarate hydratase and succinate-coenzyme Q reductase in energy production pathways whereas COX1 works synergistically with other cytochrome c oxidase subunits. Beta-Actin is less involved in metabolic pathways and more associated with pathways governing cell movement and division interacting with proteins like myosin and tropomyosin.

Associated diseases and disorders

SDHA and COX1 are implicated in mitochondrial dysfunctions such as Leigh syndrome and mitochondrial complex II deficiency. These disorders often lead to compromised energy metabolism and neurological symptoms. Beta-Actin abnormalities might relate to cancer metastasis due to its role in cell movement and structure. Disrupted interactions between these proteins and their pathways can result in altered cellular energy production and structural organization exacerbating disease conditions.
