Phenylglyoxal and 2,3-butanedione rapidly inactivate membrane-bound or soluble bovine heart succinate dehydrogenase. The inhibition of the enzyme by these reagents is completely prevented by saturating concentration of malonate. The modification of the active site sulfhydryl group by p-chloromercuribenzoate decreases the rate of the enzyme inhibition by phenylglyoxal and abolishes the protective effect of malonate. Kinetic data suggest that the inactivation by phenylglyoxal results from the modification of an essential arginine residue(s) which interacts with dicarboxylate to form the primary enzyme-substrate complex.

Histochemical study of the visceral yolk-sac endoderm of the rat was performed in vitro (whole-embryo culture for 24, 48 and 72 h explanted at 9.5 days of gestation) and in vivo (10.5, 11.5 and 12.5 days of gestation) in order to compare the distribution and activity of various enzymes involved in the digestion and energy metabolism in both systems. It was shown that, both in vitro and in vivo gamma-glytamyltransferase and dipeptidylpeptidase IV are demonstrable in the apical cell membranes (membrane-bound hydrolases), while acid phosphatase, dipeptidylpeptidases I, II and acid beta-galactosidase are concentrated in the supranuclear vacuoles (lysosomal hydrolases), and cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase and mitochondrial enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase, NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, cytochrom oxidase) are localized in the whole cytoplasm and mainly in the apical cytoplasm, respectively, of the visceral yolk-sac epithelium. In vivo, the activity of all enzymes increased until 12.5 days, but in vitro, this activity increased only until 48 h after the start of culture (corresponding to 11.5 days in vivo). Comparison of the yolk sacs at 10.5 and 11.5 days in vivo with those after 24 and 48 h in vitro showed that the activities of all the investigated enzymes were almost identical. Yolk sacs which were cultured for 72 h showed lower activities of lysosomal and mitochondrial enzymes than those at 12.5 days in vivo. It is concluded that the digestive function and energy metabolism of the visceral yolk-sac epithelium are almost identical in vitro and in vivo at 10.5 and 11.5 days.

The protective effect of dicarboxylates on the active-site-directed inhibition of the membrane-bound succinate dehydrogenase by N-ethylmaleimide, steady-state kinetics methods for Ki and Ks determinations, and equilibrium studies were employed to quantitate the relative affinities of succinate, fumarate, malonate and oxaloacetate to the reduced and oxidized species of the enzyme. A more than 10-fold difference in the relative affinities of the reduced and oxidized succinate dehydrogenase to succinate, fumarate and oxaloacetate is found, whereas the reactivity of the active-site sulphydryl group does not depend on the redox state of the enzyme. The redox-state-dependent changes in the affinity of the membrane-bound succinate dehydrogenase to oxaloacetate can be quantitatively accounted for by a 10-fold increase in the rate of dissociation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex which occurs upon reduction of the enzyme. The data obtained give no support for either the existence of a sulphydryl group other than the active-site one important for the catalysis or for the presence of a separate dicarboxylate-specific regulatory site in the succinate dehydrogenase molecule.

The rates of the oxidized (Eox) and reduced (Ered) (by NAD . H through the ubiquinone pool) succinate dehydrogenase inhibition by N-ethyl-maleimide are equal and obey pseudo-first order kinetics. The protection of the enzyme against irreversible alkylation was used to quantitate the dissociation constants for Eox and Ered complexes with fumarate, succinate and malonate under conditions when no intramolecular redox reactions might occur. the membrane-bound succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the succinate : phenazine-methosulphate reductase reaction in the presence of thenoyltrifluoroacetone by a Slater-Bonner mechanism. A comparison of the constants measured by the protection with those derived from the steady-state kinetics shows that succinate affinity for Eox is about 10 times higher than that for Ered; the reverse relations were found for fumarate, whereas the affinity for malonate only slightly depends on the redox state of the enzyme. The data obtained suggest that the dicarboxylate binding at the active site induces changes in the enzyme redox potential. The surface charge does not contribute significantly to the energy of the dicarboxylate binding to the active site of the membrane-bound enzyme.

The equilibrium and rate constants for interaction of the reduced and oxidized membrane-bound succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) with oxaloacetate were determined. The 10-fold decrease in the oxaloacetate affinity for the reduced enzyme was shown to be due to the 10-fold increase of the enzyme-inhibitor complex dissociation rate, which occurs upon its reduction. The rate of dissociation induced by succinate is 10 times higher than that induced by malonate in the submitochondrial particles, being equal in the soluble enzyme preparations. The rates of dissociation induced by malonate excess, or by the enzyme irreversibly utilizing oxaloacetate (transaminase in the presence of glutamate) are also equal. The data obtained suggest that succinate dehydrogenase interaction with succinate and oxaloacetate results from the competition for a single dicarboxylate-specific site. In submitochondrial particles all succinate dehydrogenase molecules are in redox equilibrium provided for by endogenous ubiquinone. No electronic equilibrium between the individual enzyme molecules exists, when succinate dehydrogenase is solubilized.

Antibodies specific for the Mr 65,000 (flavoprotein) and the Mr 28,000 subunits of the succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) of Bacillus subtilis were obtained. By using these antibodies it was shown that both subunits accumulated in the cytoplasm during 5-aminolevulinic acid starvation of a 5-aminolevulinic acid auxotroph. In the cytoplasm the subunits were not associated since they precipitated essentially independently of each other with subunit-specific antibody. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the cytoplasmic subunits migrated identically with the corresponding subunits from the purified membrane-bound SDH complex. Cytoplasmic subunits were pulse-labeled with L-[35S]methionine during 5-aminolevulinic acid starvation. The labeled subunits bound to the membrane when heme synthesis was resumed and also when protein synthesis was blocked by chloramphenicol before readdition of 5-aminolevulinic acid. The experiments thus demonstrated a precursor relationship between cytoplasmic subunits and the subunits of the membrane-bound SDH complex. All SDH-negative mutants isolated so far carry mutations in the citF locus. None of the mutants was found to have either the Mr 65,000 or the Mr 28,000 SDH subunits in the membrane. Four citF mutants, however, contained both subunits in the cytoplasm. Three of these mutants lacked spectrally detectable cytochrome b558. The respective mutations mapped at one end of the citF locus. These results strongly support our previous suggestion that cytochrome b558 is (part of) a membrane binding site for SDH in B. subtilis.

Several examples of correlated stereological and biochemical investigations of the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria under different physiological and pathological conditions are presented and critically discussed. In the case of liver lobuli a good quantitative correlation between morphological substrate (cristae or inner boundary membrane) and biochemical substrate (succinate dehydrogenase or glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase respectively) was demonstrated. The situation was more complex when cristae biogenesis was induced by low doses of thyroid hormone for up to 15 days. There was not always a good correlation between membrane biogenesis measured by electron microscopy and the corresponding biochemical parameter. Cardiolipin seemed to be a good parameter reflecting both membrane growth and reduction. The usefulness of a correlated stereological and biochemical work is demonstrated in a diagram showing 7 different biological explanations for a biochemically measured increase of a membrane-bound enzyme. One can conclude that correlations between results of quantitative electron microscopy by stereological means and biochemical results are possible. The correlations do not always occur in a quantitative way. This is especially the case when drastic physiological or pathological alterations are investigated. However, under stable metabolic conditions one can find quantitative correlations.

Bacillus subtilis succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is composed of two unequal subunits designated Fp (Mr, 65,000) and Ip (Mr. 28,000). The enzyme is structurally and functionally complexed to cytochrome b 558 (Mr, 19,000) in the membrane. A total of 21 B. subtilis SDH-negative mutants were isolated. The mutants fall into five phenotypic classes with respect to the presence and localization of the subunits of the SDH-cytochrome b558 complex. One class contains mutants with an inactive membrane-bound complex. Membrane-bound enzymatically active SDH could be reconstituted in fused protoplasts of selected pairs of SDH-negative mutants. Most likely reconstitution is due to the assembly of preformed subunits in the fused cells. On the basis of the reconstitution data, the mutants tested could be divided into three complementation groups. The combined data of the present and previous work indicate that the complementation groups correspond to the structural genes for the three subunits of the membrane-bound SDH-cytochrome b558 complex. A total of 31 SDH-negative mutants of B. subtilis have now been characterized. The respective mutations all map in the citF locus at 255 degrees on the B. subtilis chromosomal map. In the present paper, we have revised the nomenclature for the genetics of SDH in B. subtilis. All mutations which give an SDH-negative phenotype will be called sdh followed by an isolation number. The designation citF will be omitted, and the citF locus will be divided into three genes: sdhA, sdhB, and sdhC. Mutations in sdhA affect cytochrome b558, mutations in sdhB affect Fp, and mutations in sdhC affect Ip.

The minimum requirement for unsaturated fatty acids was investigated in E. coli using a mutant impaired in the synthesis of vaccenic acid. Exogenously supplied palmitic acid was incorporated by this mutant which led to a reduction in the proportion of cellular unsaturated fatty acids. Growth was impaired as the level of saturated fatty acids approached 76% at 37 degree C and 60% at 30 degree C. The basis of this growth inhibition was investigated. Most transport systems and enzymes examined remained active in palmitate-grown cells although the specific activities of glutamate uptake and succinic dehydrogenase were depressed 50%. Fluorescent probes of membrane organization indicated that fluidity decreased with palmitate incorporation. Temperature scans with parinaric acid indicated that rigid lipid domains exist in palmitate-grown cells at their respective growth temperature. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy confirmed the presence of phase separations (particle-free areas) in palmitate-grown cells held at their growth temperature prior to quenching. The extent of this separation into particle-free and particle-enriched domains was equivalent to that induced by a shift to 0 degree C in control cells. The incorporation of palmitate increased nucleotide leakage over threefold. The cytoplasmic enzyme beta-galactosidase was released into the surrounding medium as the concentration of unsaturated fatty acid approached the minimum for a particular growth temperature. Lysis was observed as a decrease in turbidity when cells which had been grown with palmitate were shifted a lower growth temperature. From these results we propose that leakage and partial lysis are the major factors contributing to the apparent decrease in growth rate caused by the excessive incorporation of palmitate. Further, we propose that membrane integrity may determine the minimum requirement for unsaturated fatty acids in E. coli rather than a specific effect on membrane transport and/or membrane-bound enzymes.

A broad range of anions was shown to stimulate the maximal velocity of purified fumarate reductase isolated from the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli, while leaving the Km for fumarate unaffected. Reducing agents potentiate the effects of anions on the activity, but have no effect by themselves. Thermal stability, conformation as monitored by circular dichroism and susceptibility to the thiol reagent 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) are also altered by anions. The apparent Km for succinate in the reverse reaction (succinate dehydrogenase activity) varies as a function of anion concentration, but the maximal velocity is not affected. The membrane-bound activity is not stimulated by anions and its properties closely resemble those of the purified enzyme in the presence of anions. Thus it appears that anions alter the physical and chemical properties of fumarate reductase, so that it more closely resembles the membrane-bound form.
