This report summarizes new evidence for a plasma-membrane-associated hydroquinone oxidase designated as CNOX (constitutive plasma membrane NADH oxidase) that functions as a terminal oxidase for a plasma membrane oxidoreductase (PMOR) electron transport chain to link the accumulation of lesions in mitochondrial DNA to cell-surface accumulations of reactive oxygen species. Previous considerations of plasma membrane redox changes during aging have lacked evidence for a specific terminal oxidase to catalyze a flow of electrons from cytosolic NADH to molecular oxygen (or to protein disulfides). Cells with functionally deficient mitochondria become characterized by an anaerobic metabolism. As a result, NADH accumulates from the glycolytic production of ATP. Elevated PMOR activity has been shown to be necessary to maintain the NAD(+)/NADH homeostasis essential for survival. Our findings demonstrate that the hyperactivity of the PMOR system results in an NADH oxidase (NOX) activity capable of generating reactive oxygen species at the cell surface. This would serve to propagate the aging cascade both to adjacent cells and to circulating blood components. The generation of superoxide by NOX forms associated with aging is inhibited by coenzyme Q and provides a rational basis for the anti-aging activity of circulating coenzyme Q.
