Mitochondrial resilience maybe related to assembly and- subunit composition of Complex 1. The aim of this study was to determine if Complex 1 subunit composition was different in donor livers of varying quality and whether oxygen exposure had any effect. RESULTS: Five human livers not suitable for transplant were split. One half placed in cold static storage and the other half exposed to 40% oxygen for 2 h. Protein was extracted for western blot. Membranes were probed with antibodies against β-actin and the following subunits of Complex 1: MTND1, NDUFA10, NDUFB6 and NDUFV2. No difference in steady state Complex 1 subunit composition was demonstrated between donor livers of varying quality, in terms of steatosis or mode of donation. Neither did exposure to oxygen influence Complex 1 subunit composition. This small observational study on subunit levels suggest that Complex 1 is fully assembled as no degradation of subunits associated with the different parts of the enzyme was seen. date: 2017-11-02 date_type: published official_url: http://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-017-2863-7 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC5667463 language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1509664 doi: 10.1186/s13104-017-2863-7 pii: 10.1186/s13104-017-2863-7 lyricists_name: Taanman, Jan lyricists_id: JWTAA74 actors_name: Taanman, Jan actors_id: JWTAA74 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: BMC Research Notes volume: 10 article_number: 547 event_location: England issn: 1756-0500 citation: Khorsandi, SE; Taanman, JW; Heaton, N; (2017) Subunit composition of respiratory chain complex 1 and its responses to oxygen in mitochondria from human donor livers.
