1. Three nuclear mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deficient in succinate dehydrogenase have been isolated. Two of these mutants are allelic. 2. The amount of covalently bound flavin of submitochondrial particles of the two allelic mutants is about 14% and that of the third mutant about 50% of the amount in wild-type particles. The turnover number of succinate dehydrogenase of particles is decreased in all mutants. The turnover number of fumarate reductase is increased in the two allelic mutants, but decreased in the third mutant. 3. EPR spectra, measured at 82 degrees K, show that the amplitude of the g equals 1.93 signal in particles of the two allelic mutants is less than 10% of that in wild-type particles. It is concluded that iron-sulphur centres other than those of succinate dehydrogenase make only a negligible contribution to the line at g equals 1.93 in wild-type particles. 4. EPR measurements below 20 degrees K show that the amplitude of the signal at g equals 2.01 detected in oxidized particles is decreased in particles of the two allelic mutants. 5. A signal with lines at g equals 2.027 and g equals 1.933 is detected at low temperatures in all particle preparations, even in those from a cytoplasmic petite mutant. It is suggested that this signal is derived from a contaminant and not from the inner membrane.

2-Methylfumarate can be hydrogenated by resting cells of Proteus mirabilis under an atmosphere of hydrogen gas. Optically pure (S)2-methylsuccinate is formed in a yield greater than 95%. The hydrogen addition, presumably catalyzed by the fumarate reductase, occurs in a trans fashion, as with succinate dehydrogenase of mammalian systems. Only one reactive enzyme-substrate complex with 2-methylfumarate seems to be possible.

Lipoic acid (lip) and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (sucA) mutants of Escherichia coli K12 exhibit a requirement for exogenous succinate during aerobic growth on glucose minimal medium. Reversion studies have shown that this requirement can be suppressed by gal-linked mutations which inactivate succinate dehydrogenase. Biochemical and genetic studies confirmed that the succinate dehydrogenase gene (sdh) is affected and that suppression is mediated by the same intergenic and indirect mechanism that generates succinate independence in partial revertants of lipoamide dehydrogenase mutants (Creaghan & Guest, 1977). A series of isogenic strains containing all combinations of mutations affecting 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (sucA), succinate dehydrogenase (sdh), isocitrate lyase (aceA) and fumarate reductase (frd) in a background lacking succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, was constructed to assess the importance of these enzymes as sources of endogenous succinate (succinyl-CoA) during aerobic and anaerobic growth on glucose. Only strains combining a deficiency in 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase with the presence of an active succinate dehydrogenase required succinate for aerobic growth. In all mutants, including the triple mutant (frd sucA aceA), the succinate requirement was suppressed by inactivating succinate dehydrogenase. The aerobic growth rates of succinate-independent strains were most affected by lack of isocitrate lyase but only two mutants (sdh sucA aceA and frd sdh sucA aceA) grew faster with added succinate: the growth yields were lowered by deficiencies in isocitrate lyase and also succinate dehydrogenase. It is concluded that very little succinate is needed for biosynthesis during aerobic growth on glucose and the requirement for relatively high concentrations of succinate (2 mM) by mutants lacking 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase or related functions stems from the presence of active succinate dehydrogenase. Anaerobically, either isocitrate lyase or fumarate reductase is essential for succinate-independent growth on glucose.

Fumarate reductase has been purified 100-fold to 95% homogeneity from the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli, grown anaerobically on a defined medium containing glycerol plus fumarate. Optimal solubilization of total membrane protein and fumarate reductase activity occurred with nonionic detergents having a hydrophobic-lipophilic balance (HLB) number near 13 and we routinely solubilized the enzyme with Triton X-100 (HLB number = 13.5). Membrane enzyme extracts were fractionated by hydrophobic-exchange chromatography on phenyl Sepharose CL-4B to yield purified enzyme. The enzyme whether membrane bound, in Triton extracts, or purified, had an apparent Km near 0.42 mM. Two peptides with molecular weights of 70 000 and 24 000, predent in 1:1 molar ratios, were identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide slab-gel electrophoresis to coincide with enzyme activity. A minimal native molecular weight of 100 000 was calculated for fumarate reductase by Stephacryl S-200 gel filtration in the presence of sodium cholate. This would indicate that the enzyme is a dimer. The purified enzyme has low, but measurable, succinate dehydrogenase activity.

Glutamate induced the synthesis of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase 50-fold during anaerobic growth of Citrobacter freundii and, in the absence of glutamate, this enzyme was even more active in cultures sparged with N2/CO2(95:5, v/v). Enzyme synthesis was partially repressed when the inlet gas was passed through heated copper but totally repressed when the inlet gas was passed through alkaline pyrogallol and reduced benzyl viologen (a treatment which would remove CO2 as well as O2). Fumarate hydratase activity also decreased but alcohol dehydrogenase and the sum of the succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase activities increased when residual O2 was removed from the sparging gas. Soluble cytochromes a1 and c552.5 were detected in rigorously anaerobic cultures. Thus traces of O2 which contaminate commercial compressed N2 are sufficient to induce 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase synthesis and to affect significantly the synthesis and incorporation of respiratory chain components into the cytoplasmic membrane.

The succinate dehydrogenase of adult Fasciola hepatica was found to exist in active and in active forms. The enzyme was inactivated by 1 micron oxaloacetate and activated by incubation with compounds which bind to the active site (succinate, fumarate, malonate) or by incubation with anions and certain nucleotides. The activation of the enzyme by succinate followed first-order kinetics. The extent of activation of F. hepatica succinate dehydrogenase depended on the nature and concentration of the activator and on the pH. The rate of activation of the enzyme depended on the temperature. In contrast, the fumarate reductase activity of F. hepatica was not activated by incubation with substrate or anions and was not inhibited by oxaloacetate (100 micron). The significance of these results in the regulation of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in parasitic helminths is discussed.

The consequences of replacing Cys65 in the FrdB subunit of Escherichia coli fumarate reductase by Asp or Ala have been investigated in terms of bacterial growth, enzymatic activity, and the ERP/redox properties of the [2Fe-2S] cluster. An aspartic acid residue occupies the equivalent position in E. coli succinate dehydrogenase, and the FrdBCys65Asp mutation has little effect on cell growth, enzyme activity or the physical properties of the Frd [2Fe-2S] cluster. In contrast, the [2Fe-2S] cluster was not observed in the FrdBCys65Ala mutant showing that a coordinating residue is required at this position for assembly of this cluster and significant levels of enzymatic activity. These results support the presence of one non-cysteinyl, oxygenic ligand for the [2Fe-2S] cluster in E. coli succinate dehydrogenase.

Site-directed mutants of Escherichia coli fumarate reductase in which FrdB Cys204, Cys210, and Cys214 were individually replaced by Ser and in which Val207 was replaced by Cys were constructed and overexpressed in a strain of E. coli lacking a wild-type copy of fumarate reductase and succinate dehydrogenase. The consequences of these mutations on bacterial growth, enzymatic activity, and the EPR properties of the constituent iron-sulfur clusters were investigated. The FrdB Cys204Ser, Cys210Ser, and Cys214Ser mutations result in enzymes with negligible activity that have dissociated from the membrane and consequently are incapable of supporting cell growth under conditions requiring a functional fumarate reductase. EPR studies indicate that these effects are associated with loss of both the [3Fe-4S] and [4Fe-4S] clusters, centers 3 and 2, respectively. In contrast, the FrdB Val207Cys mutation results in a functional membrane-bound enzyme that is able to support growth under anaerobic and aerobic conditions. However, EPR studies indicate that the indigenous [3Fe-4S]+,0 cluster (Em = -70 mV), center 3, has been replaced by a much lower potential [4Fe-4S]2+,+ cluster (Em = -350 mV), indicating that the primary sequence of the polypeptide determines the type of clusters assembled. The results of these studies afford new insights into the role of centers 2 and 3 in mediating electron transfer from menaquinol, the residues that ligate these clusters, and the intercluster magnetic interactions in the wild-type enzyme.

In the cattle filarial parasite Setaria digitata the mitochondria like particles have been shown to possess NADH dependent fumarate reduction coupled with site I electron transport associated phosphorylation. This reduction is catalysed by the fumarate reductase system. The Km for fumarate is 1.47 mM and that for NADH is 0.33 mM. This activity is sensitive to rotenone, antimycin A and o-Hydroxy diphenyl. One ATP is produced for each pair of electrons transferred to fumarate. The fumarate reductase system consisting of NADH-coenzyme Q reductase, cytochrome b like component(s) and succinate dehydrogenase/fumarate reductase is thus very important and hence specific inhibitors of the system may prove useful in the effective control of filariasis.

The succinate dehydrogenase isolated from Bacillus subtilis was found to catalyze the oxidation of succinate with hydrophilic quinones. Either naphthoquinones or benzoquinones served as acceptors. The enzyme activity increased with the redox potential of the quinone. The highest turnover number was commensurate with that of the bacterial succinate respiration in vivo. The succinate dehydrogenase was similarly active in fumarate reduction with quinols. The highest activity was obtained with the most electronegative quinol. The fumarate reductase isolated from Wolinella succinogenes catalyzed succinate oxidation with quinones and fumarate reduction with the corresponding quinols at activities similar to those of the B. subtilis enzyme. Succinate oxidation by the lipophilic quinones, ubiquinone or vitamin K-1, was monitored as cytochrome c reduction using proteoliposomes containing succinate dehydrogenase together with the cytochrome bc1 complex. The activity with ubiquinone or vitamin K-1 was commensurate with the succinate respiratory activity of bacteria or of the bacterial membrane fraction. The results suggest that menaquinone is involved in the succinate respiration of B. subtilis, although its redox potential is unfavorable.
