Mutation in CDC48 (cdc48(S565G)), a gene essential in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway, led to the discovery of apoptosis as a mechanism of cell death in the unicellular organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Elucidating Cdc48p-mediated apoptosis in yeast is of particular interest, because Cdc48p is the highly conserved yeast orthologue of human valosin-containing protein (VCP), a pathological effector for polyglutamine disorders and myopathies. Here we show distinct proteomic alterations in mitochondria in the cdc48S565G yeast strain. These observed molecular alterations can be related to functional impairment of these organelles as suggested by respiratory deficiency of cdc48S565G cells. Mitochondrial dysfunction in the cdc48S565G strain is accompanied by structural damage of mitochondria indicated by the accumulation of cytochrome c in the cytosol and mitochondrial enlargement. We demonstrate accumulation of reactive oxygen species produced predominantly by the cytochrome bc(1) complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain as suggested by the use of inhibitors of this complex. Concomitantly, emergence of caspase-like enzymatic activity occurs suggesting a role for caspases in the cell death process. These data strongly point for the first time to a mitochondrial involvement in Cdc48p/VCP-dependent apoptosis.
