Evolution, biochemical characterization, and structure of D. melanogaster mitochondrial CI.

(A) Dendrogram showing biochemically characterized CI from Opisthokonts. Distinct groups are highlighted with Fungi in yellow and metazoans in blue (Protostomia in dark blue and Deuterostomia in cyan). ‘D’ indicates the presence of a NEM-sensitive deactive state in the CI of the species. A minus sign indicates the absence of a NEM-sensitive deactive state in the CI of the species. A question mark indicates that the species has not been biochemically characterized for the presence of the deactive state. A star indicates that structures of CI from that species are currently available. (B, C) Functional characterization of A-to-D transition in isolated mitochondrial membranes of D. melanogaster (B) and S. scrofa (C) by spectroscopic measurement of NADH dehydrogenase activity at 340 nm in the presence of the indicated concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and pre-activation with 5 μM NADH or water. Individual values, average, and SEM are shown, n=7–8. Statistical analysis with ANOVA with Šídák’s multiple comparisons tests. **p<0.01; ****p<0.0001; n.s. denotes not significant. (D–G) Time courses of NADH oxidation reveal an off-pathway resting state in Dm-CI. NADH oxidation was measured by the change in absorbance at 340 nm of deactivated CI in mitochondrial membranes with or without pre-activation with 5 µM NADH.

Cryogenic electron microscopy (CryoEM) image processing and refinement.

A total of 10,761, movies were collected on a 200 kV Glacios microscope with K3 detector, from which 698,452 particles were initially picked using CrYOLO (Wagner et al., 2019). In CryoSPARC (Punjani et al., 2017), 2D classification revealed classes corresponding to CI, CIII2, and ATPase. After further particle classification via 3D ab initio reconstruction, a total of 293,389 Dm-CI particles were obtained. Homogenous refinement followed by non-uniform refinement (Punjani et al., 2020) resulted in an initial map of 3.7 Å. Further refinement with global and local CTF corrections and Bayesian polishing in RELION Zivanov et al., 2020; Zivanov et al., 2019 followed by local refinement using masks around the Dm-CI peripheral arm, membrane arm, and full mask in CryoSPARC, resulted in a final map of 3.3 Å.
