Mitochondrial nucleoids (mt-nucleoids) of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were isolated from spheroplasts of stationary phase cells and their structure and organization were investigated by fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, and biochemical techniques. Isolated mt-nucleoids were spherical or ovoid and 0·3–0·6 μm in diameter, and were about the same size and shape as those observed in the cell by the DAPI staining technique.

Measurement of DNA content of mt-nucleoids, using a video-intensified microscope system, after DAPI staining revealed that a mt-nucleoid in spheroplasts from stationary phase cells contains, on average, 3·9 mtDNA molecules and an isolated mt-nucleoid contains, on average, 3·1.

Negatively stained electron micrographs showed that mt-nucleoids consist of particles 20–50 nm in diameter. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of mt-nucleoids detected 20 species of polypeptides in the molecular weight range from 10×103 to 70×103. Acid-urea/SDS two-dimensional electrophoresis of acid extract from mt-nucleoids indicated that a polypeptide of 20×103 is the only major polypeptide with basic property like histones.

During the past several years considerable efforts have produced great progress in the study of mitochondrial genes and their products. The mitochondrial genome of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is at present one of the best characterized organelle genomes in eukaryotic cells.

It encodes the genetic information for essential mitochondrial components: namely, several mitochondrial proteins, mitochondrial rRNAs and tRNAs (Dujon, 1981). These mitochondrial genomes have been known to be localized at the electron-transparent area named mitochondrial nucleoids (mt-nucleoids) in the matrix from electron microscopic examinations. But there is still little valuable information on the state of mitochondrial genomes in vivo.

Protein—DNA complex has been isolated in mitochondria of the slime mold Physanim polycephalum (Kuroiwa et al. 1976; Suzuki et al. 1982; Kuroiwa, 1982), HeLa cells (Albring et al. 1977), Aenopus laevis (Pinon et al. 1978; Rickwood & Jurd, 1978), sea-urchin embryos (Sevaljevic et al. 1978, 1979), rat liver (Van Tuyle & McPherson, 1979; Van Tuyle & Paveo, 1985) and Paramecium aurelia (Olszewska & Tait, 1980). DNA-protein complex has been isolated from the mitochondria of the yeast, S. cerevisiae (Rickwood et al. 1981; Rickwood & Chambers, 1981). However, with the exception of studies on isolated mt-nucleoids from P. polycephalum, which revealed that isolated mt- nucleoids have the same shape, size and DNA content as in vivo, the question remains ambiguous as to whether isolated DNA-protein complexes correspond to the mt-nucleoids observed in the electron microscope and whether they retain the morphological intactness.

We previously reported on fusing and separating figures of mitochondrial nucleoids during the life cycle of yeast using the fluorescence microscope and DNA- binding fluorescent dye, 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenvlin- dole (DAPI) (Sando et al. 1981; Miyakawa et al. 1984). By DAP1 staining, mt-nucleoids in spheroplasts of stationary phase cells were clearly observed as spherical fluorescent particles dispersed in the cytoplasm. The use of DAPI and fluorescence microscopy also provide a useful means for detection and isolation of DNA-containing particles like mt-nucleoids.

The present paper describes the isolation of morphologically intact mt-nucleoids from spheroplasts and some structural and biochemical characteristics of isolated mt-nucleoids.

Strain and cultivation

The diploid strain G2–2 of S. cerevisiae was cultured aerobically at 30°C to stationary phase in modified Burkholder’s medium supplemented with 3·6% (v/v) tomato extract as described previously (Miyakawa et al. 1984).

Preparation of mitochondrial nucleoids (mt-nucleoids)

Mitochondria and mt-nucleoids were prepared from spheroplasts of stationary phase cells according to the methods of Suzuki et al. (1982) with slight modification.

Cells of about 50g wet weight were treated with 0·4M-2- mercaptoethanol (2-ME) at 30°C in SP buffer (0·8M-sorbi- tol, 25 mM-potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7·5). After washing with SP buffer, cells were treated with zymolyase 60000 or 100T (Kirin Brewery Co., Ltd) at 30°C for 1 h in SP buffer to make spheroplasts. Spheroplasts, washed twice with SP buffer, were suspended in NE1 buffer (0·3 M-sucrose, 20mM-Tris TICI, pH 7·6, 1 mM-EDTA and 0·4mM-spermi- dinc, 7 mM-2-ME, 0·4 mM-phenvlmethylsulphonvl fluoride (PMSF)). The suspension was homogenized in a Waring blender for 45 s at high speed and centrifuged at 950g for 5 min to remove cell debris. The supernatant was filtered through coffee filter paper placed between two layers of nvlon sheet and centrifuged at 1600g for 5 min. The supernatant was then centrifuged at 2500 g for 5 min and at 12000g for 20 min. The sedimented pellet was suspended in NE2 buffer (0·5 M-sucrose, 20mM-Tris HC1, pH 7·6, 2 mM- EDTA, 0·8 mM-spermidine, 7mM-2-ME, 0·4mM-PMSF) and α-amylase (2 mg) was added. The mixture was kept for 10 min at 0°C, filtered as described above, and centrifuged twice at 3900 g for 5 min. The supernatant was centrifuged at 15 000g for 20 min to obtain the mitochondrial pellet.

The mitochondrial pellet was thoroughly resuspended in NE2 buffer, and diluted by adding an equal volume of DL buffer (0·25 M-sucrose, 20 mM-Tris HC1, pH 7·6, 7 mM-2- ME, 0·4mM-PMSF). To lyse the mitochondrial membrane, 20% Nonidet P-40 (NP-40) was dropped into the solution at 4°C to a final concentration of 0–5% with gentle stirring. The solution was centrifuged at 16000 g for 10min to remove NP- 40 insoluble materials. The clear supernatant was layered on 20, 40, 60% (w/v) sucrose discontinuous density gradient in the presence of 20 mM-Tris HCl, pH 7·6, 1 mM-EDTA, 0·6 mM-spermidine, 7 mM-2-ME, 0·4mM-PMSF, centrifuged in a Hitachi RPS 27–2 swing bucket at 46000g for 1 h. The fractions containing mt-nucleoids equivalent to the boundary laver between 20% and 40% sucrose and the boundary laver between 40% and 60% sucrose were collected and pooled.

Fluorescence measurement

Lysed mitochondrial solution was mixed with 1 μg ml−1 DAPI and the fluorescence intensity of each fraction after density gradient centrifugation was measured with a Shi- madzu spectrofluorometer RF-500 with the wavelength of excitation at 350 nm and emission at 450 nm.

Biochemical analysis

The fractions containing mt-nucleoids were pooled and centrifuged at 131 000g for 1 h. Pellets of isolated mitochondria and mt-nucleoids were suspended in 4% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) dissolved in 50% acetone-water (v/v). After 2h at 0°C, the suspension was centrifuged and the pellet was washed with 4% TCA. Pellets were washed twice with 0·25 M-perchloric acid and then extracted with 0·5M-per- chloric acid at 70°C for 15 min. After centrifugation, the protein content of the pellets was determined by the method of Lowry et al. (1951) using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a standard. DNA concentration in the extract was determined by Burton’s (1956) method using calf thymus DNA as a standard. RNA concentration in the extract was determined by the orcinol reaction (Ceriotti, 1955), using yeast RNA as a standard.

Hoechst 33258-CsCl density gradient centrifugation

Analysis of DNA by Hoechst 33258—CsCl density gradient centrifugation was carried out by the method of Hudspeth et al. (1980). The mitochondrial and nuclear DNA bands were photographed by illuminating the tubes with long wavelength u. v. irradiation.

Photomicroscopy

All observations were made with an Olympus BHS-RFK epifluorescence microscope equipped with phase-contrast objectives, mt-nucleoids were stained with DAPI as described previously (Miyakawa et al. 1984). Photographs were taken at a magnification of ×850 on 35mm Fuji Neopan (ASA 400) or Fuji Minicopv film. The number of mt- nucleoids in the fraction was estimated from the ratio of the number of mt-nucleoids to the number of polystyrene latex spheres (1·09μm in diameter, Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Michigan) in the mixed suspension as described by Suzuki et al. (1982).’

Measurement of DNA content of mt-nucleoids

The DNA contents of mt-nucleoids were determined by measuring the fluorescence intensity of each mt-nucleoid stained with DAPI, using a video-intensified microscope photon counting system (VIMPCS) (Hamamatsu Photonics Ltd, Hamamatsu, Japan) which was connected to an Olympus epifluorescence microscope BHS-RFK as described previously (Kuroiwa et al. 1986). The fluorescence intensity of T4 phage after DAPI staining was used as the standard to express the relative fluorescence intensity.

Electron microscopy

For electron microscopy, mt-nucleoids were deposited on a mesh-grid coated with carbon film by centrifugation (90000g for 10min). Negative staining of the mt-nucleoids was performed with 1% sodium phosphotungstate solution neutralized to pH 7·0 by adding 5 M-NaOH. Protease digestion of isolated mt-nucleoids was carried out as follows. One drop of DL buffer containing pronase E (50 μgml−1) was added to mt-nucleoids on a mesh grid and samples were incubated at 20°C for 15 min. After fixation by adding 1 drop of DL buffer containing 1% glutaraldehyde, the grid was washed once with distilled water and mt-nucleoids were negatively stained. The specimens were observed with a Hitachi HU 500 transmission electron microscope at an accelerating voltage of 100 kV.

Acid extraction of mt-nucleoids

Acid extraction of proteins from mt-nucleoids was carried out according to the method of Sommer (1978).

Gel electrophoresis

SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was carried out by the method of Lacmmli (1970). Acid-urea electrophoresis was carried out according to the method of Panyim & Chalkley (1969) and further resolution was achieved by running samples in the second dimension using the SDS system of Laemmli (1970). Gels were stained with 0·25% Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 or by the silver staining technique (Oaklev et al. 1980).

Isolation of mt-nucleoids

The use of fixed and squashed spheroplasts and the DAPl-staining technique made it possible to measure approximate size of each mt-nucleoid and to count the number of mt-nucleoids in an intact cell (MiyakawaeZ al. 1984). On a fluorescence microphotograph of a DAPl-stained spheroplast, mt-nucleoids have a diameter ranging from 0·2 to 0·5 μm (Figs 1,2). As the same size and shape of mt-nucleoids was obtained by vital staining of whole cells and spheroplasts with DAPI, these fluorescent particles were considered to be intact mt-nucleoids in vivo in this culture condition.

Mitochondria were released from spheroplasts by homogenization in a Waring blender to effect spheroplast rupture and the release of intact mitochondria. Both phase-contrast and fluorescence photomicrographs of mitochondria showed that each isolated mitochondrion contained one mt-nucleoid (Figs 3—5). Addition of 0·5% NP-40 immediately resulted in lysis of mitochondria and the brown, clear supernatant after precipitation of NP-40-insoluble materials was loaded on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient. Fluorescence measurement and counting of mt-nucleoids showed two peaks corresponding to the boundary between 20% and 40% sucrose and one between 40% and 60% sucrose (Fig. 8). As shown in Figs 6 and 7, fluorescence and phase-contrast microscopy showed that isolated mt-nucleoids obtained from the 20%-40% sucrose boundary were uniform particles with diameter of 0·3–0·6μm and were faintly visible in the phase-contrast microscope. Particles, except mt- nucleoids, were hardly detected in the mt-nucleoids fraction. Any contamination by nuclear DNA in this fraction was not detected by Hoechst 33258-CsCI density gradient centrifugation of DNA (Fig. 9). On the other hand, mt-nucleoids from the boundary between 40% and 60% sucrose contained larger mt- nucleoids than those of the upper peak. Some aggregated mt-nucleoids were also observed. DASPMI staining used to stain mitochondria (Miyakawa et al. 1984) detected some membranous materials in this fraction (data not shown).

Judging from the fluorescence microscope observation, analysis of DNA, and electron microscopic view as described below, it was concluded that the mt- nucleoid fraction obtained from the boundary between 20% and 40% sucrose contains large amounts of morphologically intact mt-nucleoids without mitochondrial membranes or cell nuclear contamination.

Chemical analysis showed that mt-nucleoids were composed of DNA, RNA and proteins (Table 1). The mass ratio of RNA/DNA, protein/DNA was similar to the value for Physanim polycephalum mt-nucleoids (Suzuki et al. 1982), yeast nuclear chromatin (Sommer, 1978) and yeast mtDNA-protein complex isolated by Triton X-100 lysis of mitochondria at 30°C in the presence of RNase (Rickwood et al. 1981).

Structure of isolated mt-nucleoids

Fluorescence intensity of each DAPI-staincd mt- nucleoid was directly measured using VIM PCS to investigate the preservation of DNA content during the isolation process (Fig. 10). The distribution pattern of fluorescence intensity per nucleoid in isolated mitochondria coincided well with the pattern of fluorescence intensity of nucleoids in spheroplasts. However, the distribution of isolated nucleoids shifted to the smaller side as a whole, indicating that selective isolation of smaller nucleoids might occur in the fraction. DNA content of a mt-nucleoid was calculated from photon numbers on the basis of G + C content of mtDNA and T4 phage used as standard, because DAPI has specific affinity to A-T base-pair (Williamson & Fennell, 1975; Kapuscinski & Skoczvlas, 1977; Lin et al. 1977; Kapuscinski & Szer, 1979). The average number of mtDNA molecules in an mt- nucleoid was estimated as 3 9 in spheroplasts, 4–0 in isolated mitochondria and 34 in isolated mt-nucleoids, respectively.

Photon number of mt-nucleoids in spheroplasts (A), mt-nucleoids in isolated mitochondria (B) and isolated mt-nucleoids (C) examined by a video-intensified microscope photon counting system. The number of mt- nucleoids examined was 121 in each fraction. The number (X) of mtDNA molecules contained in a mt-nucleoid of various samples described in the text was calculated using the value of mean photon number (77 000 counts per 2 s), G + C content 36% (Rudner et al. 1969), DNA content 110× 106Mr (Freifelder, 1970) of T4 phage as standard, and mean photon number (A) of mt-nucleoids, molecular weight 50× 106, G + C content 18% of S. cerevisiae mtDNA (Evans, 1983) and the equation X = 0·223.4.

In order to observe the fine structure of the isolated mt-nucleoids, DAPI-stained mt-nucleoids deposited on a mesh-grid were observed with the fluorescence microscope and subsequently observed in the electron microscope in the same field after negative staining (Figs 11 and 12). Electron microscopic observation clearly showed that the mt-nucleoids have a spherical or ovoid configuration 0·4–0·6μm in diameter into which the chromatin-like structure is three-dimen- sionally folded. An enlarged figure of one of the mt- nucleoids is shown in Fig. 13. mt-nucleoids consisted of particles measuring 20—50 nm in diameter and in some mt-nucleoids one or two membrane vesicles were observed to attach to the core portion of folded chromatin. Pronase E digestion disrupted the chromatin-like structure of the mt-nucleoid and a DNA-like thin filament (less than 7 nm in diameter) appeared radiating from the undigested region of the mt- nucleoid (Fig. 14). Apart from pronase E, the nucleoids were completely dispersed by treatment with NaOH, HCl, DNase and SDS, tended to expand when heat treated or exposed to high KC1 or NaCl concentrations and were resistant to RNase.

Nucleoid-organizing proteins

SDS-PAGE of mt-nucleoids was performed to investigate proteins which organize mtDNA into nucleoids (Fig. 15). The mt-nucleoid fraction from the 20%-40% sucrose boundary contained at least 20 species of polypeptides mainly in the molecular weight range from 10 to 70(×103). As Rickwood et al. (1981) reported, we also found several polypeptides above 70K (K = 103Mr), but these polypeptides were quantitatively minor components of nucleoids. To search for basic, histone-like proteins, acid extract from nucleoids was analysed by acid-urea/SDS two-dimensional electrophoresis (Fig. 16). The results revealed only one major polypeptide of 20K, which suggested that the 20K polypeptide plays an important role in packing of mtDNA similar to nuclear histones.

In the electron microscope mtDNA appears as tiny electron-dense spots, filaments, or bundles of filaments in regions of lower electron density in the mitochondrial matrix. This depends on the fixation method used and it has been assumed that the almost complete absence of associated protein is responsible for the clumping of DNA (Stevens, 1981). On the other hand, Rickwood et al. (1981) isolated the DNA-protein complex from mitochondria of the yeast, Saccharo- myces cerevisiae and detected four species of proteins associated with mt-nucleoids. In the electron microscope the isolated DNA-protein complexes appeared as various sized aggregates composed of spheroidal bodies. However, it was not certain whether DNA- protein complexes remained intact.

The purpose of this study was to isolate morphologically intact mt-nucleoids without disrupting their native structure and to investigate the organization. For this purpose, DAPI seems a useful tool for monitoring the preservation of size, shape and (especially combined with VIMPCS) DNA content of nucleoids during the isolation process.

To obtain highly pure mitochondria from yeast, combined methods of repeated differential centrifugations and density gradient centrifugation have been widely used, and DNase I treatment of mitochondria has also been generally carried out to remove contaminated cell nuclear DNA. However, in this study the prolonged isolation process had to be avoided to protect mt-nucleoids from proteolytic and nucleolytic digestion, which cause the disruption of the intact morphology of mt-nucleoids, and to obtain a good yield. In the present work, we found it possible to isolate mt- nucleoids with high purity without the time-consuming density gradient centrifugation and DNase I digestion of mitochondria. In fact, the mitochondrial fraction contained some membranous structures besides mitochondria. Analysis of DNA by Hoechst-CsCl density gradient also revealed contamination of nuclear chromatin of about 20% of the total DNA in the mitochondrial fraction. However, it was possible to remove almost all cell nuclear chromatin and NP-40- insoluble membranous material from the NP-40 Iysate of mitochondria as an NP-40-insoluble fraction. The remaining contamination cosedimented with aggregates of mt-nucleoids in the fraction at the 40%-60% sucrose boundary. As a result, the fraction from the 20%-40% sucrose boundary contained highly pure mt-nucleoid particles as seen in Figs 11 and 12, when investigated by fluorescence and electron microscopy. Analysis by a CsCl density gradient always showed above 98% purity of mtDNA in total DNA as seen in Fig. 9. The rapid method described here enabled us to isolate morphologically intact mt-nucleoids from spheroplasts within 5h, although we might select somewhat smaller mt-nucleoids during the isolation process. Analysis of nucleoid-organizing proteins produced quite different results from those of Rickwood et al. (1981) who detected only four major polypeptides (68K, 80K, 2 species of 95K) using a [35S]sulphate- labelling technique. Although our results also detected several polypeptides of high molecular weight above 70K, these polypeptides were minor components of mt-nucleoids. The discrepancy might be partly caused by the difference in the method for detection of polypeptides. In the case of yeast, it has been claimed that a basic histone-like protein named HM protein with molecular weight of 20IC is present in mitochondria (Caron et al. 1979; Certa et al. 1984). We confirmed that the 20K protein, which may be identical to HM protein, is really one of the major components of nucleoids with the most basic property. At present, the functions of almost all other polypeptides detected in mt-nucleoids still remain to be determined. Rickwood & Chambers (1981) have reported that the significant fraction of the mtDNA of S. cerevisiae is organized into a nucleosome-like structure. Our preliminary work with DNA-cellulose affinity chromatography indicates that at least five major species of polypeptides including the 20K polypeptide have the ability to bind to doublestranded DNA. Further investigation of isolated mt- nucleoids would bring us new information about how 75 kb circular mtDNAs are compactly folded.
