Complex II (succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is an important enzyme complex of both the tricarboxylic acid cycle and of the aerobic respiratory chains of mitochondria in eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic organisms. In this study, the amino acid sequence of iron sulfur-subunit in human liver mitochondria was deduced from cDNA which was isolated by immunoscreening a human liver lambda gtll cDNA library. An isolated clone contains an open reading frame of 786 nucleotides and encodes a mature protein of 252 amino acids with a molecular weight of 28,804. The amino acid sequence was highly homologous with that of bovine heart (94.1%) which has been determined from the purified peptide and that of Escherichia coli sdh B product (50.8%). Striking sequence conservation was found around the three cysteine-rich clusters which have been thought to comprise the iron-sulfur centers of the enzyme. This is the first report on the cDNA sequence of mitochondrial complex II.

Bacillus subtilis cytochrome b558 is a transmembrane protein which anchors succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) to the cytoplasmic membrane and is reduced by succinate. The structural gene for this cytochrome was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Random BamHI or BglII fragments of B. subtilis 168 DNA were cloned in the BamHI site of plasmid pHV32. The derived plasmids were used to transform B. subtilis SDH mutants to chloramphenicol resistance by integration of the plasmid via DNA homology. Of some 3,000 transformants tested, 6 were SDH positive and had pHV32 integrated close to the sdh operon. Two plasmids, pKIM2 and pKIM4, with an insert of B. subtilis DNA of 5.7 and 3.4 kilobases, respectively, were generated by transforming E. coli with DNA from the SDH-positive transformants after cleavage with EcoRI or BglII and ligation. In E. coli carrying either of the two plasmids, about 4% of total membrane protein was B. subtilis cytochrome b558. E. coli (pKIM2) also contained antigen which reacted with antibodies specific for the flavoprotein and the iron-sulfur protein subunit of B. subtilis SDH. Enzymatically active, membrane-bound B. subtilis SDH could not be demonstrated in E. coli (pKIM2). The B. subtilis DNA insert in pKIM2 could transform B. subtilis sdhA (cytochrome b558), sdhB (flavoprotein), and sdhC (iron-sulfur protein) mutants to the wild type. The results suggest that pKIM2 carries the whole B. subtilis sdh operon. The data confirm the gene order and the proposed direction of transcription of the B. subtilis sdh operon. Most likely the sdh genes in E. coli(pKIM2) are controlled by their natural promoter.

The nucleotide sequence of a 2.7-kilobase segment of DNA containing the sdhA and sdhB genes encoding the flavoprotein (Fp, sdhA) and iron-sulfur protein (Ip, sdhB) subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase of Bacillus subtilis was determined. This sequence extends the previously reported sequence encoding the cytochrome b558 subunit (sdhC) and completes the sequence of the sdh operon, sdhCAB. The predicted molecular weights for the Fp and Ip subunits, 65,186 (585 amino acids) and 28,285 (252 amino acids), agreed with the values determined independently for the labeled Fp and Ip antigens, although it appeared that the B. subtilis Fp was not functional after expression of the sdhA gene in Escherichia coli. Both subunits closely resembled the corresponding Fp and Ip subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and fumarate reductase of E. coli in size, composition, and amino acid sequence. The sequence homologies further indicated that the B. subtilis SDH subunits are equally related to the SDH and fumarate reductase subunits of E. coli but are less closely related than are the corresponding pairs of E. coli subunits. The regions of highest sequence conservation were identifiable as the catalytically significant flavin adenine dinucleotide-binding sites and cysteine clusters of the iron-sulfur centers.

The nucleotide sequence of a 3614 base-pair segment of DNA containing the sdhA gene, encoding the flavoprotein subunit of succinate dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli, and two genes sdhC and sdhD, encoding small hydrophobic subunits, has been determined. Together with the iron-sulphur protein gene (sdhB) these genes form an operon (sdhCDAB) situated between the citrate synthase gene (gltA) and the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex genes (sucAB): gltA-sdhCDAB-sucAB. Transcription of the gltA and sdhCDAB gene appears to diverge from a single intergenic region that contains two pairs of potential promoter sequences and two putative CRP (cyclic AMP receptor protein)-binding sites. The sdhA structural gene comprises 1761 base-pairs (587 codons, excluding the initiation codon, AUG) and it encodes a polypeptide of Mr 64268 that is strikingly homologous with the flavoprotein subunit of fumarate reductase (frdA gene product). The FAD-binding region, including the histidine residue at the FAD-attachment site, has been identified by its homology with other flavoproteins and with the flavopeptide of the bovine heart mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase. Potential active-site cysteine and histidine residues have also been indicated by the comparisons. The sdhC (384 base-pairs) and sdhD (342 base-pairs) structural genes encode two strongly hydrophobic proteins of Mr 14167 and 12792 respectively. These proteins resemble in size and composition, but not sequence, the membrane anchor proteins of fumarate reductase (the frdC and frdD gene products).

The nucleotide sequence of a 961 base-pair segment of DNA containing the sdhB gene, which encodes the iron-sulphur protein subunit of the E. coli succinate dehydrogenase, has been determined. The sdhB structural gene comprises 711 base pairs (237 codons, excluding the translational initiator and terminator). It is separated by a 15 base-pair intergenic region from the preceding flavoprotein gene (sdhA) and is the distal gene of an operon that also includes genes (sdhC and D) encoding two hydrophobic subunits, sdhCDAB. The distal end of the sdh operon is linked to the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase gene (sucA) by a complex region of dyad symmetry that is homologous with several potential intercistronic regulatory elements or transcriptional attenuators. The sdhB structural gene encodes a polypeptide of Mr26637 that is strikingly homologous with the iron-sulphur protein subunit of fumarate reductase (38% identity, increasing to 58% when conservative changes are included). Both subunits contain 11 cysteine residues, 10 being conserved in three clusters resembling those found in ferredoxins. This work completes the sequence of a 9897 base-pair segment of DNA containing seven tricarboxylic acid cycle genes encoding three enzymes or enzyme complexes, citrate synthase (gltA), succinate dehydrogenase (sdh), and the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (suc), that are organized thus: gltA-sdhCDAB-sucAB.

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 complete nucleotide sequence of the circular mitochondrial (mt) DNA from the red alga Chondrus crispus was determined (25,836 nucleotides, A+T content 72.1%). Fifty one genes were identified. They include genes encoding three subunits of the cytochrome oxidase (cox1 to 3), apocytochrome b (cob), seven subunits of the NADH dehydrogenase complex (nad1 to 6, nad4L), two ATPase subunits (atp6 and atp9), three ribosomal RNAs (rrn5, srn and lrn), 23 tRNAs and four ribosomal proteins (rps3, rps11, rps12 and rpl16). Two subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase complex (sdhB and sdhC), usually found on nuclear genomes, are also located on the mtDNA of C. crispus. One group IIb intron is inserted in the tRNAIle gene. Six potentially functional open reading frames were identified, four of them having counterparts among green plant mtDNAs. The use of a modified genetic code and the absence of RNA editing, previously reported for the cox3 gene, appears as a general characteristic of this molecule. Mitochondrial genes are encoded on both DNA strands, in two opposite major transcriptional directions, suggesting the existence of two main transcriptional units. Two long and stable stem-loops were identified in intergenic regions, which are believed to be involved with transcription and replication. The main structural features of this genome are compared with the overall organization of mtDNAs and are discussed in view of the evolution of mitochondria.

Although mitochondrial DNA is known to encode a limited number (<20) of the polypeptide components of respiratory complexes I, III, IV, and V, genes for components of complex II [succinate dehydrogenase (ubiquinone); succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, EC 1.3.5.1] are conspicuously lacking in mitochondrial genomes so far characterized. Here we show that the same three subunits of complex II are encoded in the mitochondrial DNA of two phylogenetically distant eukaryotes, Porphyra purpurea (a photosynthetic red alga) and Reclinomonas americana (a heterotrophic zooflagellate). These complex II genes, sdh2, sdh3, and sdh4, are homologs, respectively, of Escherichia coli sdhB, sdhC, and sdhD. In E. coli, sdhB encodes the iron-sulfur subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), whereas sdhC and sdhD specify, respectively, apocytochrome b558 and a hydrophobic 13-kDa polypeptide, which together anchor SDH to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Amino acid sequence similarities indicate that sdh2, sdh3, and sdh4 were originally encoded in the protomitochondrial genome and have subsequently been transferred to the nuclear genome in most eukaryotes. The data presented here are consistent with the view that mitochondria constitute a monophyletic lineage.

Mitochondrial DNA from the unicellular rhodophyte Cyanidium caldarium RK-1 and the multicellular Chondrus crispus were isolated, cloned, and sequenced. Two genes, sdhB and sdhC, that encode subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase, were identified by similarity. These genes form a cluster (sdhCB) in both red algae.

Paenibacillus (formerly Bacillus) macerans is capable of succinate oxidation under oxic conditions and fumarate reduction under anoxic conditions. The reactions are catalyzed by different enzymes, succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) and fumarate reductase (Frd). The genes encoding Sdh (sdhCAB) were analyzed. The gene products of sdhA and sdhB were similar to the subunits of known Sdh and Frd enzymes. The hydrophobic subunit SdhC showed close sequence similarity to the class of Sdh/Frd enzymes containing diheme cytochrome b. From the sdhCAB gene cluster two transcripts were produced, one comprising sdhCAB, the other sdhAB. The transcripts were found only during aerobic growth, and the amount was directly proportional to Sdh activity, but inversely proportional to Frd activity.
