3 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 1. BACKGROUND Abcam s Complex I Enzyme Activity Microplate Assay Kit (ab109721) is designed for the analysis of mitochondrial OXPHOS Complex I (NADH dehydrogenase) enzyme activity from human, rat, mouse and bovine cell and tissue extracts. This kit recognizes Complex I in human, rat, mouse and bovine cell and tissue extracts. Capture antibodies specific for Complex I are pre-coated in the microplate wells. Samples are added to the pre-coated microplate wells. After the target has been immobilized in the well, Complex I activity is determined by following the oxidation of NADH to NAD+ and the simultaneous reduction of the provided dye ( = 25.9/mM/well) which leads to increased absorbance at OD 450 nm. An accurate measurement of the enzyme s functional state is achieved by analyzing the enzyme's activity in an isolated context, outside of the cell and free from any other variables. Please note that this activity assay measures the NADH-dependent activity of Complex I. This activity is not dependent on the presence of ubiquinone and therefore inhibitors, such as rotenone, which bind at or near the ubiquinone binding site do not inhibit this assay. However, assembly deficiencies of Complex I can affect this activity assay. OXPHOS Complex I (NADH dehydrogenase, E.C ) activity is controlled by enzyme amount and by post-translational phosphorylation at key specific regulatory residues. Cellular metabolism governs these two factors. Ultimately, the cell type and growth conditions will affect Complex I activity measurements. ab Complex I Enzyme Activity Assay Kit 1

11 ASSAY PREPARATION 10.SAMPLE PREPARATION General Sample Information We recommend performing several dilutions of your sample to ensure the readings are within the standard value range. We recommend that you use fresh samples. If you cannot perform the assay at the same time, we suggest that you complete the Sample Preparation step before storing the samples. Alternatively, if that is not possible, we suggest that you snap freeze samples in liquid nitrogen upon extraction and store the samples immediately at -80 C. When you are ready to test your samples, thaw them on ice. Be aware however that this might affect the stability of your samples and the readings can be lower than expected. Treat cells with Complex I activators / inhibitors as per your experimental requirements Preparation of extracts from cells (adherent or suspension): Harvest suspension cells by centrifugation or scrape to collect adherent cells from a confluent culture flask (initial recommendation = 1 2 x 10 7 cells) Wash cells twice with PBS Resuspend and dilute the cell pellet with 9 volumes of PBS (e.g. 50 µl pellet µl PBS to a total volume of 500 µl) Optional: Determine the sample protein concentration (using a standard method such as BCA), by extracting a portion of your sample. Adjust concentration of the sample with PBS so that the final sample protein concentration is 5.5 mg/ml Extract the proteins from the sample by adding 10X Detergent solution to sample to a final dilution of 1/10 (e.g. if the total sample volume is 500 µl add 50 µl of 10X Detergent solution). Mix well by inversion. Please note the sample concentration is now 5 mg/ml Incubate the tube on ice for 30 minutes to allow solubilization. ab Complex I Enzyme Activity Assay Kit 9

16 DATA ANALYSIS DATA ANALYSIS 12.CALCULATIONS Extinction coefficient for dye () = 25.9/mM/well Final concentration of NADH is 2 mm. Complex I activity in each well is proportional to the increase in absorbance at OD 450 nm within each well. The activity is expressed as the change in absorbance per minute per amount of sample loaded into the well. If the sample background control is significant, then subtract the sample background control from the sample reading. Examine the linear rate of increase in absorbance at OD 450 nm over time. An example is shown below where the rate/slope is calculated between these time points. Most microplate software of performing this function. Repeat this for all samples. Figure 1: Raw data: change in OD 450 nm observed in cultured HepG2 cell lysate. ab Complex I Enzyme Activity Assay Kit 14
17 DATA ANALYSIS Raw data (as seen in Figure 1) can be expressed as rate (mod/min) per µg of cell lysate added per well as shown below in Figure 2.

18 DATA ANALYSIS 13. TYPICAL DATA Data provided for demonstration purposes only. Figure 3: Complex I activity measured in normal and Rho0 human fibroblasts. Rho0 cells are cells in which the mitochondrial DNA has been removed and therefore essential Complex I proteins are not expressed. As shown in the right column, the rho0 cells showed no/little complex I activity. Figure 4: Complex I activity measured in rat cardiomyocytes grown for 5 days in absence or presence of 40 µm chloramphenicol (CAM) to inhibit mitochondrial protein synthesis. In this case, both Complex I assembly and activity will be greatly reduced. ab Complex I Enzyme Activity Assay Kit 16
19 DATA ANALYSIS Figure 5: ab measures Complex I activity in human, mouse and rat cultured cells but also in tissues/tissue mitochondria samples within the recommended ranges given in the protocol. Note that these ranges depend on mitochondria preparation quality. Examples of Complex I activity measured in different rat and mouse mitochondrial samples are shown in the graphs above. ab Complex I Enzyme Activity Assay Kit 17

23 RESOURCES 16.INTERFERENCES These chemicals or biological materials will cause interferences in this assay causing compromised results or complete failure: RIPA buffer and other buffers that contain ionic-detergents such as SDS can affect the assembly of the enzyme or decrease the activity of the enzyme. 17.FAQs How do I prepare my mitochondria samples? Tissue and cell culture extracts are suitable with this kit with some optimization of load and detergent extraction conditions. We have found that little or no optimization is necessary if crude mitochondria are used. Mitochondria can be prepared by simple differential centrifugation of homogenized samples. How do I grow and prepare my cells? Complex I activity in cells from different origins differs greatly. Nontransformed fibroblasts have a higher activity than transformed cell lines such as HepG2 or HeLa cells. Consequently cell type and growth conditions are a large factor in Complex I activity measurement. Approximately how much protein is yielded from my plate of cells? We find the following typical yield of cells from a single confluent 177 cm 2 plate: Human fibroblasts: 1x10 7 cells mg total protein. Human HepG2: 2x10 7 cells - 3 mg total protein. It is recommended that you accurately determine the number of cells from your culture and the total protein yield. ab Complex I Enzyme Activity Assay Kit 21
