Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed radioiodination was used to study the arrangement of the component peptides of succinate-cytochrome c reductase with respect to the aqueous phases on each side of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mitochondria depleted of their outer membrane and inside-out vesicles purified from submitochondrial particles by the lectin-affinity procedure (D'Souza, M. P., and Lindsay, J. G. (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 640, 463-472) were iodinated using immobilized preparations of lactoperoxidase. The labeled membranes were solubilized in detergent and the succinate-cytochrome c reductase was purified by immunoprecipitation with specific IgG. Analysis of the radioiodine distribution after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and comparison with peptide stain patterns show that bands 2 (64 kilodaltons), 6 (30 kilodaltons), 9 (15 kilodaltons), and 11 (less than 10 kilodaltons) are labeled from the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane. Bands 1 (72 kilodaltons), 4 (48 kilodaltons), and 8 (20 kilodaltons) appear to be labeled on the matrix side of the membrane, while bands 3 (52 kilodaltons), 5 (35 kilodaltons), 7 (25 kilodaltons), and 10 (11 kilodaltons) are labeled from both sides of the membrane. Tentative identification of the labeled bands suggests that band 1 is the large subunit of succinate dehydrogenase. Bands 3 and 4 represent proteins which have been referred to as core proteins I and II. Bands 5 and 6 are the proteins associated with cytochromes b and c1, respectively; band 7 is the Rieske iron-sulfur protein.

We have addressed the functional and structural roles of three domains of the chloroplast Rieske iron-sulfur protein; that is, the flexible hinge that connects the transmembrane helix to the soluble cluster-bearing domain, the N-terminal stromal protruding domain, and the transmembrane helix. To this aim mutants were generated in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Their capacities to assemble the cytochrome b6f complex, perform plastoquinol oxidation, and signal redox-induced activation of the light-harvesting complex II kinase during state transition were tested in vivo. Deletion of one residue and extensions of up to five residues in the flexible hinge had no significant effect on complex accumulation or electron transfer efficiency. Deletion of three residues (Delta3G) dramatically decreased reaction rates by a factor of approximately 10. These data indicate that the chloroplast iron-sulfur protein-linking domain is much more flexible than that of its counterpart in mitochondria. Despite greatly slowed catalysis in the Delta3G mutant, there was no apparent delay in light-harvesting complex II kinase activation or state transitions. This indicates that conformational changes occurring in the Rieske protein did not represent a limiting step for kinase activation within the time scale tested. No phenotype could be associated with mutations in the N-terminal stromal-exposed domain. In contrast, the N17V mutation in the Rieske protein transmembrane helix resulted in a large decrease in the cytochrome f synthesis rate. This reveals that the Rieske protein transmembrane helix plays an active role in assembly-mediated control of cytochrome f synthesis. We propose a structural model to interpret this phenomenon based on the C. reinhardtii cytochrome b6f structure.
