2-n-Heptyl 4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (HOQNO) inhibits the succinate:quinone oxidoreductase activity of isolated and membrane-bound succinate:menaquinone oxidoreductase of B. subtilis. The inhibition pattern resembles closely that observed for alpha-thenoyltrifluoroacetone and carboxins in the mitochondrial succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase: ca. 90% of the activity is highly sensitive to HOQNO (Ki ca. 0.2 microM for the isolated enzyme) whereas the rest 10% proves to be resistant to the inhibitor. HOQNO binding is shown to perturb the absorption spectrum of the ferrous di-heme cytochrome b of the B. subtilis succinate:quinone oxidoreductase both in the alpha and Soret bands. In addition, the inhibitor is shown to bring about a negative shift of Em of the low-potential heme b. It is suggested that HOQNO interacts with a menasemiquinone binding site near the low-potential heme and suppresses the MQ.(-)-to-MQH2 step of the quinone reductase reaction but allows partly for the MQ-to-MQ.- transition to occur; dismutation of MQ. formed in the latter reaction to MQ and MQH2 may account for the 10% of the enzyme activity insensitive to HOQNO.

An active respiratory complex II (succinate:quinone oxidoreductase) has been purified from tetraether lipid membranes of the thermoacidophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus sp. strain 7. It consists of four different subunits with apparent molecular masses of 66, 37, 33, and 12 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 66-kDa subunit contains a covalently bound flavin, the 37-kDa subunit is a possible iron-sulfur protein carrying three distinct types of EPR-visible FeS cluster, and the 33- and 12-kDa subunits are putative membrane-anchor subunits, respectively. While no heme group is detected in the purified complex II, it catalyzes succinate-dependent reduction of ubiquinone-1 and 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol in the absence of phenazine methosulfate. The respiratory complex II of Sulfolobus sp. strain 7 appears to be novel in that it functions as a true succinate:caldariellaquinone oxidoreductase, although inherently lacking any heme group. This further indicates that the heme group of several respiratory complexes II may not be involved in the redox intermediates of the electron transfer from succinate to quinone.

Succinate:quinone oxidoreductase (EC 1.3.5.1) was first purified from the facultative alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain YN-2000 in the presence of Triton X-100. The isolated enzyme showed high succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity at pH 8.5. The Km for ubiquinone 1 and the Vmax of the enzyme were determined to be about 5 microM and 48 micromol of ubiquinone 1 per min per mg, respectively. The catalytic activity of the enzyme was 50% inhibited by 9 microM 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone or 0.8 microM 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline- N-oxide. The enzyme consisted of three kinds of subunits with molecular masses of 66, 26, and 15 kDa, respectively, and contained 1.28 mol of covalently bound flavin adenine dinucleotide, 0.9 mol of heme b, 1.35 mol of menaquinone, 8.3 mol of nonheme iron, and 7.5 mol of inorganic sulfide per mol of enzyme. The enzyme showed symmetrical alpha absorption peaks at 556.5 and 554 nm in the reduced state at room temperature and 77 K, respectively. The potentiometric analysis of the enzyme yielded an Em,7 of heme b of about -64 mV (n = 1). Furthermore, the content of the enzyme was increased up to fivefold when the bacterium was grown at pH 10 compared with pH 7. These results indicate that the succinate:quinone oxidoreductase with a single heme b is involved in the respiratory chain of the alkaliphile at a very alkaline pH.

Succinate:quinone oxidoreductase is a membrane-associated complex in mitochondria, often referred to as complex II, based on the fractionation scheme developed by Y. Hatefi and colleagues. It consists of four peptides, two of which are integral membrane proteins (15 and 12-13 kDa, respectively) and two others that are peripheral membrane proteins, i.e., a flavoprotein (Fp, 70 kDa) and an iron-protein (Ip, 27 kDa). The mature, functional complex contains a cytochrome in association with the membrane proteins, a flavin linked covalently to the largest peptide, and three iron-sulfur clusters in the 27-kDa subunit. The present review touches only briefly on the biochemical and biophysical properties of this complex. Instead, the focus is on the molecular-genetic studies that have become possible since the first genes from eukaryotes were cloned in 1989. The evolutionary conservation of the amino acid sequence of both the Fp and the Ip peptides has facilitated the cloning of these genes from a large variety of eukaryotic organisms by PCR-based methods. The review addresses questions related to the regulation of the expression of these genes, with an emphasis on mammals and yeast, for which most of the information is available. Four different genes have to be co-ordinately regulated. Transcriptional as well as posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms have been observed in diverse organisms. Intriguing observations have been made in studies of this enzyme during the life cycle of organisms existing alternately under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Naturally occurring or induced mutations in these genes have shed light on several questions related to the assembly of this complex, and on the relationship between structure and function. Four different peptides are imported into the mitochondria. They have to be modified, folded, and assembled. The stage is set for the exploration of highly specific changes introduced by site-directed mutagenesis. Until recently the genes were believed to be exclusively nuclear in all eukaryotes, but exceptions have since been found. This finding has relevance in the discussion of the evolution of mitochondria from prokaryotes. A highly conserved set of genes is found in prokaryotes, and some informative comparisons on gene organization and expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes have been included.

Complex II (succinate:quinone oxidoreductase) of aerobic respiratory chains oxidizes succinate to fumarate and passes the electrons directly into the quinone pool. It serves as the only direct link between activity in the citric acid cycle and electron transport in the membrane. Finer details of these reactions and interactions are but poorly understood. However, complex II has extremely similar structural and catalytic properties to quinol:fumarate oxidoreductases of anaerobic organisms, for which X-ray structures have recently become available. These offer new insights into structure-function relationships of this class of flavoenzymes, including evidence favoring protein movement during catalysis.

The only enzyme of the citric acid cycle for which no open reading frame (ORF) was found in the Helicobacter pylori genome is the NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase. Here, it is shown that in this organism the oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate is catalyzed by a malate:quinone oxidoreductase (MQO). This flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent membrane-associated enzyme donates electrons to quinones of the electron transfer chain. Similar to succinate dehydrogenase, it is part of both the electron transfer chain and the citric acid cycle. MQO activity was demonstrated in isolated membranes of H. pylori. The enzyme is encoded by the ORF HP0086, which is shown by the fact that expression of the HP0086 sequence from a plasmid induces high MQO activity in mqo deletion mutants of Escherichia coli or Corynebacterium glutamicum. Furthermore, this plasmid was able to complement the phenotype of the C. glutamicum mqo deletion mutant. Interestingly, the protein predicted to be encoded by this ORF is only distantly related to known or postulated MQO sequences from other bacteria. The presence of an MQO shown here and the previously demonstrated presence of a 2-ketoglutarate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase and a succinyl-coenzyme A (CoA):acetoacetyl-CoA transferase indicate that H. pylori possesses a complete citric acid cycle, but one which deviates from the standard textbook example in three steps.

The integral membrane protein complex quinol-fumarate reductase catalyzes the terminal step of a major anaerobic respiratory pathway. The homologous enzyme succinate-quinone oxidoreductase participates in aerobic respiration both as complex II and as a member of the Krebs cycle. Last year, two structures of quinol-fumarate reductases were reported. These structures revealed the cofactor organization linking the fumarate and quinol sites, and showed a cofactor arrangement across the membrane that is suggestive of a possible energy coupling function.

Like many other bacteria, Corynebacterium glutamicum possesses two types of L-malate dehydrogenase, a membrane-associated malate:quinone oxidoreductase (MQO; EC 1.1.99.16) and a cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (MDH; EC 1.1.1.37) The regulation of MDH and of the three membrane-associated dehydrogenases MQO, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), and NADH dehydrogenase was investigated. MQO, MDH, and SDH activities are regulated coordinately in response to the carbon and energy source for growth. Compared to growth on glucose, these activities are increased during growth on lactate, pyruvate, or acetate, substrates which require high citric acid cycle activity to sustain growth. The simultaneous presence of high activities of both malate dehydrogenases is puzzling. MQO is the most important malate dehydrogenase in the physiology of C. glutamicum. A mutant with a site-directed deletion in the mqo gene does not grow on minimal medium. Growth can be partially restored in this mutant by addition of the vitamin nicotinamide. In contrast, a double mutant lacking MQO and MDH does not grow even in the presence of nicotinamide. Apparently, MDH is able to take over the function of MQO in an mqo mutant, but this requires the presence of nicotinamide in the growth medium. It is shown that addition of nicotinamide leads to a higher intracellular pyridine nucleotide concentration, which probably enables MDH to catalyze malate oxidation. Purified MDH from C. glutamicum catalyzes oxaloacetate reduction much more readily than malate oxidation at physiological pH. In a reconstituted system with isolated membranes and purified MDH, MQO and MDH catalyze the cyclic conversion of malate and oxaloacetate, leading to a net oxidation of NADH. Evidence is presented that this cyclic reaction also takes place in vivo. As yet, no phenotype of an mdh deletion alone was observed, which leaves a physiological function for MDH in C. glutamicum obscure.

Complex II from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Acidianus ambivalens, an archetype of an emerging class of succinate dehydrogenases (SDH), was extracted from intact membranes and purified to homogeneity. The complex contains one molecule of covalently bound FAD and 10 Fe atoms. EPR studies showed that the complex contains the canonical centres S1 ([2Fe-2S]2+/1+) and S2 ([4Fe-4S]+2/+1) but lacks centre S3 ([3Fe-4S]+1/0); these observations agree with the fact that the iron-sulfur subunit contains an extra cysteine that may allow the binding of a new centre, most probably a tetranuclear one. Succinate-driven oxygen consumption is observed in intact membranes indicating that in vivo, complex II operates as a succinate:quinone oxidoreductase, despite missing the typical anchor domain subunits. The pure complex was found to contain bound caldariella quinone, the enzyme physiological partner. An alternative membrane anchoring for this new type of SDHs, based on the amphipathic nature of the putative helices found in SdhC, is suggested.

An overview of the present knowledge about succinate:quinone oxidoreductase in Paracoccus denitrificans and Bacillus subtilis is presented. P. denitrificans contains a monoheme succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase that is similar to that of mammalian mitochondria with respect to composition and sensitivity to carboxin. Results obtained with carboxin-resistant P. denitrificans mutants provide information about quinone-binding sites on the enzyme and the molecular basis for the resistance. B. subtilis contains a diheme succinate:menaquinone oxidoreductase whose activity is dependent on the electrochemical gradient across the cytoplasmic membrane. Data from studies of mutant variants of the B. subtilis enzyme combined with available crystal structures of a similar enzyme, Wolinella succinogenes fumarate reductase, substantiate a proposed explanation for the mechanism of coupling between quinone reductase activity and transmembrane potential.
