A new method was developed for isolation of intracellular forms of simian virus 40 (SV40) nucleoprotein complexes from SV40-infected CV-1 cells late in the infectious cycle. In contrast to the Triton extraction method, which yields only a 60-70S complex, this new procedure yielded three forms of SV40 nucleoprotein complexes: complex I, complex II, and the nature virion (V). The three nucleoprotein complexes differed in physical as well as biochemical properties. Complex I, which is only a small portion of the total SV42 nucleoprotein complexes late during infection, was active in synthesizing both SV40-specific DNA and RNA. Pulse-labeling experiments suggest the following metabolic pathway: I leads to II leads to V. Conversion of complex I to II occurred shortly after the completion of SV40 DNA replication and resulted in the inactivation of the biosynthetic activities of I.

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.

Low-temperature electron spin resonance spectroscopy has been used to study the biophysical properties of succinate dehydrogenase from the gram-positive bacterium Micrococcus luteus. The paramagnetic redox centres of the enzyme were identified in a succinate-dehydrogenase--antigen complex, which had been purified with the aid of monospecific serum from membranes solubilized with Triton X-100. The centres were characterized in further detail using the membrane-bound and Triton-solubilized forms of the enzyme. These studies distinguished two types of iron-sulphur centres, viz. a [4Fe-4S]3+ cluster displaying a narrow signal at g = 2.01 in the oxidized state (conventionally termed centre S-3) and a [2Fe-2S )0 cluster with an axial signal at g = 2.03 and 1.93 in the reduced state (conventionally termed centre S-1). Centre S-3 had a mid-point redox potential of +10 mV, a comparatively low value for this type of cluster. The behaviour of the g = 1.93 signal of centre S-1 was a complex function of the redox potential, microwave power and temperature of measurement. When measured at low power (i.e. non-saturating conditions), the intensities observed for the g = 1.93 signal poised at various critical potentials in the redox titration were similar. However, the corresponding intensities differed markedly at high power, where conditions were saturating. It is proposed that under saturating conditions the spin-lattice relaxation of the [2Fe-2S] cluster S-1 (mid-point potential +70 mV) is enhanced by centre S-3 between the potential range +10-+70 mV and by an ESR-silent centre, termed centre S-2, with a mid-point potential of -295 mV.

The effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields of 75 Hz were studied on different membrane-associated enzymes. Only the activities of three enzymes out of seven exposed to the field decreased approximately of about 54-61% with field amplitudes above a threshold of 73-151 microT depending on the enzyme. The same field had no effect on the activities of either integral membrane enzymes such as Ca,ATPase, Na/K,ATPase, and succinic dehydrogenase or peripheral membrane enzymes such as photoreceptor PDE. The decrease in enzymatic activity of the field-sensitive enzymes was independent of the time of permanence in the field and was completely reversible. When these enzymes were solubilized with Triton, no effect of the field was obtained on the enzymatic activity, suggesting the crucial role of the membrane in determining the conditions for enzyme inactivation. The role of the particular linkage of the field-sensitive enzymes to the membranes is also discussed.
