Procedure

A. Preparation of mitochondria-enriched fraction and crude mitochondria

1. Yeast growth conditions: Inoculate the S. cerevisiae strain in 25 mL of YPD media (see Recipes) overnight (16 h) at 30 °C in a shaking incubator at 250 rpm. Use this primary culture to start a secondary culture to grow yeast cells (tagged with Tom20) to mid-log phase (0.6~0.8 OD₆₀₀) before harvesting.

Note: The volume of the secondary culture depends on the media used and subsequent processing. In our study, we use 150 mL for ethanol media and 300 mL for the glucose media (see Recipes).

2. Collect cells by centrifugation at 1,500× g for 5 min at 4 °C, remove the supernatant, and wash the pellet by resuspending in ice-cold water. Centrifuge the resuspended cell pellet at 1,500× g for 5 min at 4 °C.

Notes:

1. Prepare all the necessary buffers before starting this step.

2. Weigh the cell pellet (wet weight). To determine the wet weight, first weigh an empty tube and tare the balance. Then, place the tube containing the washed pellet and weigh it again. This is important for determining the volume of solutions used in subsequent steps. It is not recommended to freeze and store the pellet since freezing can rupture organelles, which might affect the efficiency of the intact mitochondria isolation.

3. Incubate the cells in Tris-DTT buffer (5 mL/g wet weight) for 15 min at 30 °C with shaking at 250 rpm. (Prewarm the Tris-DTT buffer at 30 °C.)

Note: Prepare the zymolyase solution (25 mg/g yeast wet weight) during this incubation.

4. Wash the pellet with SEH buffer (5 mL/g wet weight) and centrifuge at 1,500× g for 5 min at 4 °C.

Note: Several mitochondrial isolation protocols use SP [1.2 M sorbitol and 20 mM potassium phosphate (KPi) solution)] buffer along with the SEH buffer. If mitochondria are being used for Pi estimation, SP buffer is not recommended since it contains potassium phosphate, which interferes with final Pi estimations.

5. Incubate with zymolyase solution (resuspended in 25 mg of zymolyase per gram of yeast wet weight in 5 mL of SEH buffer) at 30 °C, shaking (250 rpm) for 45 min to 1 h to produce spheroplasts.

6. Centrifuge at 4,500× g for 5 min to concentrate spheroplasts, wash with ice-cold SEH buffer (5 mL/g yeast wet weight), and resuspend in ice-cold SEH buffer with protease inhibitor cocktail (5 mL/g yeast wet weight).

Note: If the maximum speed of the centrifuge is <4,500× g, increase the time of the spin to 10 min or more.

7. Homogenize with 15 forceful strokes (about 1–1.5 min per sample) using a pre-chilled glass Dounce tissue grinder on ice.

Note: Extra volume in the apparatus can lead to spillage and loss of sample. It is advisable to fill less than half of the tube.

8. Centrifuge the homogenized samples at 1,500× g for 5 min at 4 °C. Collect the pellet P1 and supernatant S1. P1 contains the cell membrane, vacuole, and other debris; S1 contains the cytosol, mitochondria, and ER.

9. Spin the supernatant S1 at high speed (12,000× g) for 5 min at 4 °C and collect the pellet P2 and supernatant S2. P2 contains mitochondria (and ER and cytosol components too), and S2 contains cytosol. Weigh the pellet P2.

Note: P2 is the mitochondria-enriched fraction (MEF).This pellet can be used to immunoprecipitate mitochondria for phosphate and metabolite measurements. For isolating mitochondria by immunoprecipitation, proceed to step B1. To obtain the crude mitochondrial fraction, proceed to step A10. Steps A10–A12 can be followed if the aim is to achieve a more refined mitochondria for mitochondrial proteomics. However, for phosphate and other metabolite estimations, immunoprecipitation is recommended to obtain pure mitochondria, since vacuolar and ER contamination in the crude mitochondrial fraction can interfere with the metabolite estimations.

10. Resuspend P2 in ice-cold SEH buffer containing protease inhibitors (1 mL/g yeast wet weight).

11. Centrifuge the suspension from step A9 at 700× g for 5 min, collect the supernatant (not shown in the graphical abstract), and spin again at 1,500× g for 5 min at 4 °C. This is to remove any remaining big organelles. Collect the supernatant S3.

12. Spin the supernatant S3 at high speed (12,000× g) for 10 min at 4 °C. Collect the pellet P3 containing mitochondria. Note the weight of the pellet.

13. Resuspend P3 in ice-cold SEH buffer containing protease inhibitors (1 mL/g wet weight). This is the crude mitochondria fraction and contains some contamination from the ER and cytosol.

Note: This fraction has mostly purified mitochondria and reduced contamination compared to P2. This could be used for isolating mitochondrial proteins and activity assays. However, for phosphate and metabolite estimation, mitochondria are further purified by immunoprecipitation. For this, P2 (step A9) can be used.

B. Purification of mitochondria using immunoprecipitation

Continued from step A9

Note: Use cells with TOM20-FLAG for these steps.

1. Resuspend the pellet P2 in 700 μL of ice-cold SEH with protease inhibitors.

Note: Steps B1–B6 are performed in a cold room.

2. Aliquot 1.5 mg Dynabeads protein G (50 μL from 30 mg/mL stock) in a 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube. Place the tube in the magnetic separation rack for 30 s.

3. Aspirate the liquid with a micropipette and wash the beads with 100 μL of SEH buffer.

4. Resuspend the Dynabeads in 100 μL of SEH buffer and add 10 μg of anti-FLAG antibody. Incubate the Dynabeads–antibody mixture for 15 min with gentle rotation (15 rpm) on a cyclomixer.

5. Add the resuspended mitochondrial fraction (from step B1) to antibody-conjugated Dynabeads, mix, and incubate for 30–60 min with gentle rotation (15 rpm).

6. Place the beads in the magnetic rack for 1 min and collect the supernatant (this is the flowthrough that contains unbound mitochondria).

7. Wash the beads twice with 300 μL of ice-cold SEH buffer.

8. Elution: Resuspend the beads in 10 μL of SEH buffer + 30 μL of FLAG peptide (from a 2 mg/mL stock, final concentration 1.5 mg/mL) and incubate at room temperature for 30 min with intermittent mixing to elute the mitochondria.

9. Place the suspension in the magnetic rack for 1–2 min and collect the supernatant containing the purified mitochondria into a fresh 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube.

10. Centrifuge the supernatant from step B9 at 12,000× g for 5 min. The pellet contains purified mitochondria.

Note: This protocol can also be used to obtain enriched cytosol (S2) and purified mitochondria (step A9 of immunoprecipitation). To obtain purified cytoplasmic and vacuolar extracts, refer to Schwencke et al [10].

C. Phosphate extraction and estimation

1. Resuspend the pellet from step B10 containing purified mitochondria in 1 mL of ice-cold LC–MS-grade water.

Note: LC–MS-grade water is recommended to avoid any phosphate impurities in water that might affect the assay readout.

2. Lyse the resuspended mitochondria by bead beating (add glass beads corresponding to a volume of 100 μL, followed by bead beating for 3 × 20 s), with intermittent cooling for 30–60 s between each bead beating.

Pause point: The lysates can be collected and stored at -80 °C for western blotting.

3. Centrifuge the lysates at 20,000× g (14,000 rpm) for 1 min at 4 °C and collect 700–800 μL of supernatant. The supernatant contains inorganic phosphate.

Note: Collect equal amounts of supernatants between samples for more consistency. Free phosphates can be extracted in water. Other metabolites can be extracted from this mitochondrial pellet using ethanol using the method from Walvekar et al. [13]

Pause point: The supernatants can be stored at 4 °C for Pi and protein estimations. Perform protein estimation before starting the assay.

4. Estimate the protein amounts in the supernatant using a BCA Protein Estimation kit. This protein amount can be used to normalize the Pi measurements.

Note: Some reagents, like PMSF and DTT, can interfere with BCA estimation. In this protocol, we use a low concentration of DTT at the beginning, which is removed in subsequent steps, so it should not interfere.

5. Estimate Pi using the Malachite Green Phosphate Assay kit (see Section D). Create a standard curve using Pi standards provided in the kit and estimate the Pi amounts in the supernatant from step C3. It is recommended to use multiple dilutions [undiluted or diluted in LC–MS-grade water (1:5, 1:10, or any suitable dilutions)] to ensure that the assay readouts are in the range of the phosphate standards used.

D. Malachite green assay

Malachite green assay measures free phosphate by estimating molybdophosphoric acid formed by the reaction of malachite green molybdate and free phosphate under acidic conditions. The green molybdophosphoric acid complex formed in the reaction is measured at 620–640 nm, providing a readout for the free phosphate concentrations. Any standard malachite green assay kit can be used to estimate mitochondrial phosphate concentrations. In this protocol, the Malachite Green Assay kit from Cayman Chemicals was used.

The detailed protocol for performing phosphate estimation by malachite green assay is provided on the manufacturer’s website (https://www.caymanchem.com/product/10009325). This protocol is suitable for use with the mitochondrial lysate obtained from step C3. Phosphate standards are prepared, and Pi levels are estimated in the samples according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Dilute the 1 M phosphate standard provided in the kit using LC–MS-grade water. Serially dilute this phosphate standard in 1.5 mL tubes to generate concentrations of 12.5 μM, 6.25 μM, 3.13 μM, and1.56 μM. LC–MS-grade water is used as a blank standard (0 μM). Aliquot 50 μL of phosphate standards and the blank into the wells of a 96-well plate.

2. Dilute the supernatant from step C3 (mitochondrial lysate containing phosphate) at 1:5 and 1:10 dilutions using LC–MS-grade water to a final volume of 100 μL.

3. Aliquot 50 μL of the diluted samples into the wells of a 96-well plate.

Note: Diluting the samples is recommended since the undiluted supernatant from step C3 might contain phosphate concentrations that might fall outside of the linear range of the assay. If you are trying the protocol for the first time, it is recommended to use undiluted samples and multiple sample dilutions to identify the best dilution suitable for the assay.

4. Add 5 μL of MG acidic solution (included in the kit) to each well containing samples or standards, mix by gentle tapping, and incubate the plate at room temperature for 10 min.

5. Add 15 μL of MG Blue solution (included in the kit) to each well containing samples and standards, mix by gentle tapping, and incubate the plate at room temperature for 20 min.

6. Measure the absorbance in each well at 620 nm using a microplate reader.

7. The Pi measurements can be normalized to total protein in the samples from step C3. Additionally, the resuspended mitochondria from step B10 can be used to estimate the Tom20 or Idh1 protein levels by western blotting. The Pi levels can be normalized to Tom20, Idh1, or any suitable mitochondrial protein (Figure 1C).

Note: Normalizing Pi levels to Tom20, Idh1, or any single mitochondrial protein is not recommended when comparing samples grown in different media. Since growth conditions can influence the expression of individual proteins, it is recommended to normalize Pi levels to total protein to ensure accurate comparisons (Figure 1C). In case of normalization to a single protein level, western blots have to be performed to confirm that the total level of this protein is constant across conditions where Pi is being compared.

Figure 1. Total intracellular and mitochondrial phosphate estimation from S. cerevisiae cells grown in ethanol and glucose medium. Cells were grown in log phase to an OD₆₀₀~0.8, and total Pi levels (from whole cells) or mitochondrial Pi levels (from isolated mitochondria) were estimated by malachite green assay. (A) A phosphate standard curve was plotted using different concentrations of phosphate standards. The Pi levels in isolated mitochondria were estimated and plotted relative to Pi levels in glucose-grown cells. Total Pi levels were normalized to total protein levels, and mitochondrial Pi levels were normalized to Tom20 or total mitochondrial protein levels. (B) A heat map representation comparing total and mitochondrial Pi levels in glucose- vs. ethanol-grown cells. (C, D) Quantitative representation of panel B. Data displayed as mean ± SD, n = 2 independent biological replicates.

Data analysis

Pi levels were estimated by plotting a standard curve using the phosphate standards provided in the Pi Estimation Assay kit (Figure 1A). The best-fitting line was plotted using Microsoft Excel. Pi amounts in the samples were estimated from this standard curve by solving for the equation y = mx + c, where y is the absorbance, m is the slope, x is the Pi amount, and c is the y-intercept. Once Pi amounts in samples were estimated, statistical analysis was performed using an unpaired Student’s t-test in GraphPad Prism 9.0.1. There were no significant differences in total phosphate levels in cells grown in glucose and ethanol media. However, mitochondrial phosphate levels were significantly higher in ethanol-grown cells than in glucose-grown cells (Figure 1). Therefore, our protocol can be used for measuring intracellular phosphate pools in different cellular compartments.

Validation of protocol

This protocol has been used and validated in the following research article:

1. Vengayil et al. [11]. The deubiquitinase Ubp3/Usp10 constrains glucose-mediated mitochondrial repression via phosphate budgeting. eLife (Figure 4B, Figure 4, supplement 1A).

Three biological replicates were used in these experiments; the data provided in Figure 1 in this protocol are from two biological replicates.

General notes and troubleshooting

General notes

1. It is recommended to perform western blots for mitochondrial, cytosolic, and vacuolar proteins in different fractions of the isolation procedure to ensure efficient mitochondrial purification.

2. The isolated mitochondria pellets can be resuspended in appropriate solutions depending on the experiment. For example, in the case of metabolomics, the pellet can be resuspended in 60% methanol, and for proteomics applications, the pellet can be resuspended in a Tris-SDS buffer.

3. If required, this method of mitochondrial isolation can be followed by native PAGE to determine mitochondrial respiratory chain activity.

4. For proteomics or native PAGE analysis of mitochondrial proteins, a crude mitochondrial fraction can also be used.

5. This protocol is adapted to be used for yeast mitochondrial isolation, but similar protocols are used for mammalian cells [3,6,8].

Troubleshooting

Problem 1: No purified mitochondrial pellet after immunoprecipitation.

Possible causes: 1. Insufficient cells. 2. Low mitochondrial yield in the mitochondria-enriched fraction.

Solution: 1. Increase the volume of the secondary culture. 2. Confirm mitochondrial enrichment by western blotting for different fractions obtained during isolation.

Problem 2: No detectable phosphate in the immunopurified mitochondria.

Possible cause: Phosphate amount in the sample is below the detection limit.

Solution: Ensure that the immunopurified fraction contains mitochondria and increase the volume of the sample used in the Pi assay.

Note: It is advisable to start with more starting material to avoid issues related to loss.

Problem 3: No mitochondrial pool detected in the elution.

Possible causes: 1. Sample is lost in the flowthrough. 2. Sample remains stuck to the beads.

Solution: Run all the fractions collected during immunoprecipitation to note all the steps where loss is occurring. Increase the binding time (step B5) to more than 1 h to ensure mitochondrial binding to the beads. Increase the concentration of Flag peptide for the elution (step B8) and incubate longer.

Problem 4: Interference in BCA estimation.

Possible cause: PMSF, DTT, TCEP, or other buffer ions that can interfere with BCA reagents.

Solution: It is recommended to avoid using these in mitochondrial isolation. However, if necessary, a) dilute the samples to dilute the interfering compound for BCA estimation, and b) use the same concentration of interfering reagent (usually buffer used) as a blank to nullify any signal coming from interference.
