1. The seven primary iron sulfur centers serve to carry electrons from the site of NADH dehydration to ubiquinone. Note that N7 is not found in eukaryotes.

2. There is a reduction of ubiquinone (CoQ) to ubiquinol (CoQH<sub>2</sub>).

3. The energy from the redox reaction results in conformational change allowing hydrogen ions to pass through four transmembrane helix channels.

'''Respiratory complex I''', {{EC number|7.1.1.2}} (also known as '''NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase''', '''Type I NADH dehydrogenase''' and '''mitochondrial complex I''') is the first large [[protein complex]] of the [[Electron transport chain|respiratory chain]]s of many organisms from bacteria to humans. It catalyzes the transfer of [[electron]]s from [[NADH]] to [[coenzyme Q10]] (CoQ10) and translocates protons across the inner [[mitochondria]]l membrane in eukaryotes or the plasma membrane of bacteria.

This enzyme is essential for the normal functioning of cells, and mutations in its subunits lead to a wide range of inherited neuromuscular and metabolic disorders. Defects in this enzyme are responsible for the development of several pathological processes such as [[Reperfusion injury|ischemia/reperfusion]] damage ([[stroke]] and [[Myocardial infarction|cardiac infarction]]), Parkinson's disease and others.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

Complex I is the first enzyme of the [[Electron transport chain#Mitochondrial electron transport chains|mitochondrial electron transport chain]].

The reaction catalyzed by complex I is:

As a result of a two NADH molecule being oxidized to NAD+, three molecules of ATP can be produced by Complex V ([[ATP synthase]]) downstream in the respiratory chain.

==Mechanism==

=== Overall mechanism ===
All redox reactions take place in the hydrophilic domain of complex I. NADH initially binds to complex I, and transfers two electrons to the [[flavin mononucleotide]] (FMN) prosthetic group of the enzyme, creating FMNH<sub>2</sub>. The electron acceptor – the isoalloxazine ring – of FMN is identical to that of [[Flavin adenine dinucleotide|FAD]]. The electrons are then transferred through the FMN via a series of [[Iron–sulfur protein|iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters]],<ref name=":0" /> and finally to [[coenzyme Q10]] (ubiquinone). This electron flow changes the redox state of the protein, inducing conformational changes of the protein which alters the p''K'' values of ionizable side chain, and causes four hydrogen ions to be pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix.<ref name="BioChem">{{cite book | title = Principles of Biochemistry, 3rd Edition | chapter = Chapter 18, Mitochondrial ATP synthesis | vauthors = Voet DJ, Voet GJ, Pratt CW | publisher = Wiley | year = 2008 | isbn = 978-0-470-23396-2 | page = 608 }}</ref> [[Ubiquinone]] (CoQ) accepts two electrons to be reduced to [[ubiquinol]] (CoQH<sub>2</sub>).<ref name="Berg"/>

=== Electron transfer mechanism ===
The proposed pathway for electron transport prior to ubiquinone reduction is as follows: NADH – FMN – N3 – N1b – N4 – N5 – N6a – N6b – N2 – Q, where Nx is a labelling convention for iron sulfur clusters.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal | vauthors = Sazanov LA | title = A giant molecular proton pump: structure and mechanism of respiratory complex I | journal = Nature Reviews.

The equilibrium dynamics of Complex I are primarily driven by the quinone redox cycle. In conditions of high proton motive force (and accordingly, a ubiquinol-concentrated pool), the enzyme runs in the reverse direction. Ubiquinol is oxidized to ubiquinone, and the resulting released protons reduce the proton motive force.<ref name="Efremov 1785–1795">{{cite journal | vauthors = Efremov RG, [[Leonid Sazanov|Sazanov LA]] | title = The coupling mechanism of respiratory complex I - a structural and evolutionary perspective | journal = Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics | volume = 1817 | issue = 10 | pages = 1785–95 | date = October 2012 | pmid = 22386882 | doi = 10.1016/j.bbabio.2012.02.015 | doi-access = free }}</ref>

=== Proton translocation mechanism ===
The coupling of proton translocation and electron transport in Complex I is currently proposed as being indirect (long range conformational changes) as opposed to direct (redox intermediates in the hydrogen pumps as in [[heme]] groups of Complexes [[Coenzyme Q – cytochrome c reductase|III]] and [[Cytochrome c oxidase|IV]]).<ref name=":0" /> The architecture of the hydrophobic region of complex I shows multiple proton transporters that are mechanically interlinked. The three central components believed to contribute to this long-range conformational change event are the pH-coupled N2 iron-sulfur cluster, the quinone reduction, and the transmembrane helix subunits of the membrane arm. Transduction of conformational changes to drive the transmembrane transporters linked by a 'connecting rod' during the reduction of ubiquinone can account for two or three of the four protons pumped per NADH oxidized. The remaining proton must be pumped by direct coupling at the ubiquinone-binding site. It is proposed that direct and indirect coupling mechanisms account for the pumping of the four protons.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Treberg JR, Quinlan CL, Brand MD | title = Evidence for two sites of superoxide production by mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 286 | issue = 31 | pages = 27103–10 | date = August 2011 | pmid = 21659507 | pmc = 3149303 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M111.252502 | doi-access = free }}</ref>

== Composition and structure ==

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase is the largest of the respiratory complexes. In [[mammal]]s, the enzyme contains 44 separate water-soluble peripheral membrane proteins, which are anchored to the integral membrane constituents.

Despite more than 50 years of study of complex I, no inhibitors blocking the electron flow inside the enzyme have been found.

==Active/inactive transition==

The catalytic properties of eukaryotic complex I are not simple. Two catalytically and structurally distinct forms exist in any given preparation of the enzyme: one is the fully competent, so-called "active" A-form and the other is the catalytically silent, dormant, "inactive", D-form. After exposure of idle enzyme to elevated, but physiological temperatures (>30&nbsp;°C) in the absence of substrate, the enzyme converts to the D-form. This form is catalytically incompetent but can be activated by the slow reaction (k~4 min<sup>−1</sup>) of NADH oxidation with subsequent ubiquinone reduction. After one or several turnovers the enzyme becomes active and can catalyse physiological NADH:ubiquinone reaction at a much higher rate (k~10<sup>4</sup> min<sup>−1</sup>). In the presence of divalent cations (Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>), or at alkaline pH the activation takes much longer.

The high [[activation energy]] (270 kJ/mol) of the deactivation process indicates the occurrence of major conformational changes in the organisation of the complex I. However, until now, the only conformational difference observed between these two forms is the number of [[cysteine]] residues exposed at the surface of the enzyme. Treatment of the D-form of complex I with the sulfhydryl reagents [[N-Ethylmaleimide]] or [[DTNB]] irreversibly blocks critical cysteine residues, abolishing the ability of the enzyme to respond to activation, thus inactivating it irreversibly. The A-form of complex I is insensitive to sulfhydryl reagents.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Babot M, Birch A, Labarbuta P, Galkin A | title = Characterisation of the active/de-active transition of mitochondrial complex I | journal = Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics | volume = 1837 | issue = 7 | pages = 1083–92 | date = July 2014 | pmid = 24569053 | pmc = 4331042 | doi = 10.1016/j.bbabio.2014.02.018 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Dröse S, Stepanova A, Galkin A | title = Ischemic A/D transition of mitochondrial complex I and its role in ROS generation | journal = Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics | volume = 1857 | issue = 7 | pages = 946–57 | date = July 2016 | pmid = 26777588 | pmc = 4893024 | doi = 10.1016/j.bbabio.2015.12.013 }}</ref>

==Pathology==
Mutations in the subunits of complex I can cause [[mitochondrial diseases]], including [[Leigh syndrome]]. Point mutations in various complex I subunits derived from mitochondrial DNA ([[mtDNA]]) can also result in [[Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy]].There is some evidence that complex I defects may play a role in the etiology of [[Parkinson's disease]], perhaps because of reactive oxygen species (complex I can, like [[complex III]], leak electrons to oxygen, forming highly toxic [[superoxide]]).

Although the exact etiology of Parkinson's disease is unclear, it is likely that mitochondrial dysfunction, along with proteasome inhibition and environmental toxins, may play a large role. In fact, the inhibition of complex I has been shown to cause the production of peroxides and a decrease in [[proteasome]] activity, which may lead to Parkinson's disease.<ref name="pmid20417232">{{cite journal | vauthors = Chou AP, Li S, Fitzmaurice AG, Bronstein JM | title = Mechanisms of rotenone-induced proteasome inhibition | journal = Neurotoxicology | volume = 31 | issue = 4 | pages = 367–72 | date = August 2010 | pmid = 20417232 | pmc = 2885979 | doi = 10.1016/j.neuro.2010.04.006 | bibcode = 2010NeuTx..31..367C }}</ref> Additionally, Esteves et al.

Recent studies have examined other roles of complex I activity in the brain. Andreazza et al. (2010) found that the level of complex I activity was significantly decreased in patients with bipolar disorder, but not in patients with depression or schizophrenia. They found that patients with bipolar disorder showed increased protein oxidation and nitration in their prefrontal cortex. These results suggest that future studies should target complex I for potential therapeutic studies for bipolar disorder.<ref name="pmid20368511">{{cite journal | vauthors = Andreazza AC, Shao L, Wang JF, Young LT | title = Mitochondrial complex I activity and oxidative damage to mitochondrial proteins in the prefrontal cortex of patients with bipolar disorder | journal = Archives of General Psychiatry | volume = 67 | issue = 4 | pages = 360–8 | date = April 2010 | pmid = 20368511 | doi = 10.1001/archgenpsychiatry.2010.22 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Similarly, Moran et al. (2010) found that patients with severe complex I deficiency showed decreased oxygen consumption rates and slower growth rates.

Exposure to pesticides can also inhibit complex I and cause disease symptoms. For example, chronic exposure to low levels of dichlorvos, an organophosphate used as a pesticide, has been shown to cause liver dysfunction. This occurs because dichlorvos alters complex I and II activity levels, which leads to decreased mitochondrial electron transfer activities and decreased ATP synthesis.<ref name="pmid 20132858">{{cite journal | vauthors = Binukumar BK, Bal A, Kandimalla R, Sunkaria A, Gill KD | title = Mitochondrial energy metabolism impairment and liver dysfunction following chronic exposure to dichlorvos | journal = Toxicology | volume = 270 | issue = 2–3 | pages = 77–84 | date = April 2010 | pmid = 20132858 | doi = 10.1016/j.tox.2010.01.017 | bibcode = 2010Toxgy.270...77B }}</ref>

== In chloroplasts ==
A proton-pumping, ubiquinone-using NADH dehydrogenase complex, homologous to complex I, is found in the chloroplast genomes of most [[land plant]]s under the name ''ndh''. This complex is inherited from the original symbiosis from cyanobacteria, but has been lost in most eukaryotic algae, some [[gymnosperm]]s (''Pinus'' and [[gnetophytes]]), and some very young lineages of [[angiosperm]]s. The purpose of this complex is originally cryptic as chloroplasts do not participate in respiration, but now it is known that ''ndh'' serves to maintain photosynthesis in stressful situations. This makes it at least partially dispensable in favorable conditions. It is evident that angiosperm lineages without ''ndh'' do not last long from their young ages, but how gymnosperms survive on land without ''ndh'' for so long is unknown.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sabater |first1=B |title=On the Edge of Dispensability, the Chloroplast ''ndh'' Genes. |journal=International Journal of Molecular Sciences |date=19 November 2021 |volume=22 |issue=22 |article-number=12505 |doi=10.3390/ijms222212505 |pmid=34830386 |pmc=8621559 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
