Abstract
Respiratory complex I is pivotal for cellular energy conversion, harnessing energy from NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreduction to drive protons across energy-transducing membranes for ATP synthesis. Despite detailed structural information on complex I, its mechanism of catalysis remains elusive due to lack of accompanying functional data for comprehensive structure-function analyses. Here, we present the 2.3-Å resolution structure of complex I from the α-proteobacterium Paracoccus denitrificans, a close relative of the mitochondrial progenitor, in phospholipid-bilayer nanodiscs. Three eukaryotic-type supernumerary subunits (NDUFS4, NDUFS6 and NDUFA12) plus a novel L-isoaspartyl-O-methyltransferase are bound to the core complex. Importantly, the enzyme is in a single, homogeneous resting state that matches the closed, turnover-ready (active) state of mammalian complex I. Our structure reveals the elements that stabilise the closed state and completes P. denitrificans complex I as a unified platform for combining structure, function and genetics in mechanistic studies.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
