A succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) complex has been purified from Triton X-100-solubilized membranes from Bacillus subtilis by precipitation with specific antibody. Radioactively labeled precipitated complex was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography of the gels. The complex contained equimolar amounts of three polypeptides with approximate molecular weights of 65,000, 28,000, and 19,000. Five succinic dehydrogenase-negative mutants, belonging to the citF group, contained the 65,000-dalton polypeptide in a soluble form in the cytoplasm. Each 65,000-dalton polypeptide had about one molecule of flavin bound. Another citF mutant, citF11, which lacks the 65,000-dalton polypeptide, contained a membrane-bound 28,000-dalton polypeptide. The wild-type succinic dehydrogenase complex contained cytochrome, probably a cytochrome b. The 19,000-dalton polypeptide is suggested to represent the apoprotein of this cytochrome. The 65,000-dalton and the 28,000-dalton polypeptides are thought to constitute succinic dehydrogenase and to correspond to the flavoprotein and the ironprotein, respectively, as described for succinic dehydrogenase isolated from beef heart mitochondria or Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores. The results presented suggest that in B. subtilis succinic dehydrogenase is attached to a cytochrome b in the membrane via the 28,000-dalton (ironprotein) polypeptide.

Rotenone and high doses of chloramphenicol, both of which specifically inhibit electron transport between NADH and flavoprotein in the respiratory chain, caused fully separated Rana pipiens blastomeres to refuse, as shown by syncytium counts on embryos reconstructed from serial sections. With chloramphenicol, the effect was completely reversible: re-cleavage and normal development followed drug removal. The blastomere fusion effect was not produced by the succinic dehydrogenase-specific respiratory inhibitor, thenoyltrifluoroacetone, nor by a non-mitochondrial protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, both of which instead produced simple arrest of cleavage.

In addition to the two species of ferredoxin-type iron-sulfur centers (Centers S-1 and S-2), a third iron-sulfur center (Center S-3), which is paramagnetic in the oxidezed state analogous to the bacterial high potential iron-sulfur protein, has bwen detected in the reconstitutively active soluble succinate dehydrogenase preparation. Midpoint potential (at pH 7.4) of Center S-3 determined in a particulate succinate-cytochrome c reductase is +60 +/- 15 mV. In soluble form, Center S-3 becomes extremely labile towards oxygen or ferricyanide plus phenazine methosulfate similar to reconstitutive activity of the dehydrogenase. Thus, even freshly prepared reconstitutively active enzyme preparations show EPR spectra of Center S-3 which correspond approximately to 0.5 eq per flavin; in particulate preparations this component was found in a 1:1 ratio to flavin. All reconstitutively inactive dehydrogenase preparations that Center S-3 is an innate constituent of succinate dehydrogenase and plays an important role in mediating electrons from the flavoprotein subunit to most probably ubiquinone and then to the cytochrome chain.

Two techniques have been applied to the determination of the number and type (2-Fe, 4-Fe) of iron-sulfur centers in the iron-sulfur flavoprotein succinate dehydrogenase [succinate:(acceptor) oxidoreductase, EC 1.3.99.1]. One procedure uses p-CF3C6H4SH as an extrusion reagent and Fourier transform 19F nuclear magentic resonance as the method of detection and quantitation of extruded cores of these centers in the form of [Fe2S2(SRF)4]2- and [Fe4S4(SRF)4]2- (RF = p-C6H4CF3). The second procedure, interprotein core transfer, involves thiol displacement of iron-sulfur cores followed by specific core transfer to the apoproteins of Bacillus polymyxa ferredoxin and adrenodoxin. Detection and quantitation are accomplished by electron paramagnetic resonance of reduced proteins at low temperatures. Both procedures clearly show that succinate dehydrogenase contains two dimeric (Fe2S2) and one tetrameric (Fe4S4) centers per mole of histidyl flavin, accounting for all eight nonheme iron and eight labile sulfur atoms found by chemical analysis. These results remove uncertainties created by the less than stoichiometric amounts of binuclear centers detected by electron paramagnetic resonance after dithionite reduction and provide secure characterization of the iron-sulfur centers in this enzyme.

Spectrophotometric and fluorimetric substrate couple titrations and potentiometric spectrophotometric titrations were used to determine the oxidation-reduction potentials of components showing absorbance or fluorescence at the wavelengths attributable to the flavoproteins of mitochondria fractionated using digitonin together with sonication. A pure mitoplast fraction devoid of cytochrome b5 contamination could be obtained using 230 micrograms digitonin/mg of mitochondrial protein. The digitonin-soluble fraction contained a species having Em7.4 = -123 mV and probably represents the outer membrane flavoproteins. The inner membrane-matrix fraction, treated with ultrasound, provided evidence of a flavoprotein species with redox potential (Em7.4 = -302 mV) in the matrix fraction. The -302 mV component is probably lipoamide dehydrogenase. A high redox potential species with Em7.4 = +19 mV in titrations with the succinate fumarate couple was located in the inner membrane vesicles and is probably identical with succinate dehydrogenase. The electron-transferring flavoprotein (ETF) was isolated from bovine heart mitochondria and its Em7.4 = -74 mV determined. The component in the matrix fraction with an apparent Em7.4 = -56 mV probably represents ETF, and that in the inner membrane fraction with an apparent Em7.4 = -43 mV the NADH dehydrogenase flavoprotein. A component in an apparently low concentration with Em7.4 = +30 mV was detected in the inner membrane fraction. This probably represents the ETF-dehydrogenase flavoprotein. The origin of the flavoprotein fluorescence of mitochondria and intact tissues is discussed.

Complex II (succinate-coenzyme Q reductase) was resolved into ten different polypeptides by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Four polypeptides, CII-1, CII-2, CII-3, and CII-4 with molecular weights of 70 000, 24 000, 13 500, and 7000, were present in large amounts in all preparations examined. CII-1 and CII-2 are the flavoprotein and iron-sulfur protein, respectively, of succinate dehydrogenase; CII-3 and CII-4 have not been functionally indentified. Six polypeptides were present in much smaller amoumts as judged by staining intensity, and each of these comigrated with components in complex III. The amino acid compositions of several of the minor components in complex II were identical with that of an equivalently migrating polypeptide in complex III. We conclude that succinate-coenzyme Q reductase contains four different polypeptides and is contaminated with variable amounts of complex III when isolated as complex II.

In a detailed study focused on the methodological problems in dehydrogenase histochemistry [e.g., fixation, diffusion of enzymes and of reduced inermediates, conversion of NADPH and NADP to NADH and NAD, respectively, penetration of tetrazolium salt and formazan substantivity, 'nothing dehydrogenase' reaction, use of exogenous CoQ10 and of flavoprotein substitute (PMS)], the distribution and activity of succinate dehydrogenase, NAD(P)H-tetrazolium reductase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase (H and M types), and of L-glutamate dehydrogenase (E.C.1.4.1.2 and E.C.1.4.1.3) have been investigated in the rat cerebellum. It was evident from the study that reliable results could only be obtained if all the aforementioned factors had been considered. The image of actual concentration of SDH in the neuropil of the molecular layer could only be recorded by adding CoQ10, while other structures exhibited greater balance between SDH and endogenous mitochondrial CoQ. Contrary to previous studies, a reversed localization of the activity of G-6-PDH and LDH was noticed. The elements of molecular and Purkinje layers were rich in G-6-PDH, while the granular layer was nearly depleted. The actual level of LDH could only be recorded if NADH-tetrazolium reductase was bypassed with PMS. The H and M types of LDH coexisted in the three cortical layers, the H type being prevalent and the M type attaining its highest level in synaptic glomeruli followed by the structures of the molecular layer and the Purkinje cells. High activity of GDH was noticed in Bergmann glia followed by synaptic glomeruli, while most other structures showed weak to moderate activity. The two GDH types coexisted in all structures showing activity, except for Bergmann cells, which only showed presence of the E.C. 1.4.1.3 type. Furthermore, Bergmann glia was exceptional by showing no activity of SDH and LDH, but strong activity of G-6-PDH and NADPH-tetrazolium reductase. The granular cells were exceptional by showing weak or no activity of all enzymes in question.

1. In rat liver mitochondria in vitro, an activation of succinate dehydrogenase [succinate: (2,6-dichloroindophenol)oxido-reductase], an inner membrane enzyme, was induced by Ca2+ at extramitochondrial concentrations (about 1.3 micron) close to those estimated in the cytosol. 2. The activation required both substrate (succinate) and ATP, and occurred whether mitochondria were coupled (Ca2+ could be accumulated) or uncoupled (Ca2+ could not be accumulated) by classical uncouplers. 3. The activation by Ca2+ of the uncoupled mitochondria was accompanied by a modest but significant change in the mitochondrial morphology as judged from light scattering measurements and electron microscopy. 4. In the uncoupled mitochondria, oxaloacetate added externally diminished the activation by Ca2+. In addition, the amount of oxaloacetate produced endogenously from succinate via malate fell after Ca2+ and ATP addition. However, the extent of the fall in mitochondrial oxaloacetate did not correlate with the degree of activation of succinate dehydrogenase. 5. The activation by Ca2+ of the uncoupled mitochondria was accompanied by a reductive shift of pyridine nucleotide and coenzyme Q, and an oxidative shift of flavoproteins and cytochromes b, c, and a-a3. 6. In the situation where the Ca2+-induced activation of succinate dehydrogenase (and consequently succinate oxidation) took place in the uncoupled mitochondria, oxidations of 3-hydroxybutyrate and pyruvate were markedly suppressed. 7. From the above findings, it is concluded that Ca2+ action on the mitochondrial inner membrane activates mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase, and this action produces an inhibition of electron transport between NAD and flavoprotein. In view of the location of these reactions in the inner membrane, a conformation change of the membrane is suggested as a common cause.

The topography of the inner mitochondrial membrane was investigated using inhibitors of electron transport on preparations of beef heart mitochondria and electron transport particles of opposite orientation. Reductions of juglone, ferricyanide, indophenol, coenzyme Q, duroquinone, and cytochrome c by NADH are inhibited to different extents on both sides of the membrane by the impermeant hydrophilic chelators bathophenanthroline sulfonate and orthophenanthroline. The extent of inhibition for each acceptor increased in the order given. At least two chelator-sensitive sites are present on each membrane face between the flavoprotein and coenzyme Q and a chelator-sensitive site is present on the matrix face between the sites of coenzyme Q and duroquinone interaction. Duroquinol oxidation in mitochondria only is stimulated by bathophenanthroline sulfonate. Juglone reduction is stimulated in electron transport particles (only) by p-hydroxymercuribenzenesulfonate, but after mercurial treatment, juglone reduction in both particles and mitochondria is more sensitive to bathophenanthroline sulfonate. Succinate dehydrogenase components are inhibited by hydrophilic orthophenanthroline or bathophenanthroline sulfonate in mitochondria only. Electron flow between the dehydrogenases of succinate and NADH occurs via a chelator-sensitive site located on the matrix face of the membrane. Inter-complex electron flow is prevented by rotenone or thenoyltrifluoroacetone. The lack of succinate-indophenol reductase inhibition by bathophenanthroline sulfonate in the presence of rotenone or thenoyltrifluoroacetone indicates that the rotenone-sensitive site may be located on the matrix face and demonstrates that electrons flow between the NADH and succinate dehydrogenases via a hydrophilic chelator and rotenone-thenoyltrifluoroacetone-sensitive site on the matrix face of the membrane. Inhibiton by hydrophilic chelators only in mitochondria indicates that succinate dehydrogenase as well as NADH dehydrogenase has a transmembranous orientation.

When incubated in an air atmosphere, solubilized succinate dehydrogenase (succinate:(acceptor) oxidoreductase, EC 1.3.99.1) quickly loses the capability to recombine with membrane components to catalyze mitochondrial related electron transport activities. At 0 degrees the loss in reconstitution capability is a first-order process; the half-life of the enzyme is 1.6 hr at this temperature. The enzyme is stabilized by recombining it with submitochondrial particles or with a cytochrome b preparation-phospholipid mixture. The presence of the cytochrome b preparation in the succinate dehydrogenase-cytochrome b-phospholipid complex is obligatory, indicating that protein-protein interactions between succinate dehydrogenase and other membrane components are important in stabilizing the capability of the flavoprotein to transfer electrons to other respiratory components. Treatment of this complex with phospholipase C results in loss of most of the succinate-dichlorophenolindophenol reductase activity and almost complete hydrolysis of phospholipid. Succinate dehydrogenase maintains its capability to participate in mitochondrial electron transport for several hours if the phospholipase treated complex is reconstituted with lysolecithin at the time of assay. Phospholipids are therefore not required for the stabilization process, but rather for formation of an active reductase complex. A lipophilic environment, if required for stabilization, can be provided by diglycerides. Diglycerides also can provide an environment conducive to electron transfer from succinate to ubiquinone but do so less efficiently than intact phospholipids.
