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.

We investigated the changes of the inner-membrane components and the electron-transfer activities of bovine heart submitochondrial particles induced by the lipid peroxidation supported by NADPH in the presence of ADP-Fe3+. Most of the polyunsaturated fatty acids were lost as a result of the peroxidation, and phospholipids were changed to polar species. Ubiquinone was also modified to polar substances as the peroxidation proceeded. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed the disappearance of 27000-Mr and 30000-Mr proteins and the appearance of highly polymerized substances. Flavins and cytochromes were not diminished, but the respiratory activity was lost. The reactions of NADH oxidase and NADH-cytochrome c reductase were most sensitive to the peroxidation, followed by those of succinate oxidase and succinate-cytochrome c reductase. Succinate dehydrogenase and duroquinol-cytochrome c reductase were inactivated by more extensive peroxidation, but cytochrome c oxidase was only partially inactivated. NADH-ferricyanide reductase was not inactivated. The pattern of the inactivation indicated that the lipid peroxidation affected the electron transport intensively between NADH dehydrogenase and ubiquinone, and moderately at the succinate dehydrogenase step and between ubiquinone and cytochrome c.

A simplified procedure for the isolation of NADH dehydrogenase from the inner membrane of ox heart mitochondria is presented which permits relatively rapid preparation of the enzyme in a more stable form than that afforded by published methods. The protein thus isolated displays more than eight different subunits in gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions, three of which are also present in the "low-molecular-weight form' of the enzyme prepared under more drastic conditions. Complex I contains several subunits, mostly of low molecular weight, not seen in soluble purified NADH dehydrogenase. It is suggested that some of these may be 'binding peptides' necessary in linking NADH dehydrogenase to ubiquinone reduction, analogously to the role of small peptides in linking succinate dehydrogenase to ubiquinone. The dehydrogenase isolated by the rapid method contains equimolar amounts of non-haem iron and labile sulphur, but on further manipulation non-haem iron (but no labile sulphur) is lost, resulting in ratios of S/Fe in excess of unity, as previously reported for preparations isolated by longer procedures.

1. Studies on the cytochrome spectra of liver mitochondria from control and glucagon-treated rats in State 4, State 3 and in the presence of uncoupler are reported. 2. The stimulation of electron flow between cytochromes c1 and c observed previously [Halestrap (1978) Biochem. J. 172, 399-405] was shown to be an artefact of Ca2+-induced swelling of mitochondria. 3. When precautions were taken to prevent such swelling, glucagon treatment was shown to enhance the reduction of cytochromes c, c1 and b558 in both State 3 and uncoupled conditions with either succinate or glutamate + malate as substrate. An increase in the reduction of cytochromes b562 and b566 was also seen in some, but not all, experiments. 4. In State 4 with succinate but not glutamate + malate as substrate, cytochromes c, c1, b558, b562 and b566 showed increased reduction. 5. Glucagon stimulated oxidation of duroquinol and palmitoylcarnitine by intact mitochondria and of NADH by disrupted mitochondria. 6. No effect of glucagon on succinate dehydrogenase activity or the temperature-dependence of succinate oxidation could be detected. 7. Glucagon enhanced the inhibition of the respiratory chain by colletotrichin, but not antimycin or 8-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide. 8. These results are interpreted in terms of a primary stimulation by glucagon of the 'Q cycle' [Mitchell (1976) J. Theor. Biol. 62, 827-367] within Complex III (ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase) and a secondary site of action involving stimulation of electron flow into Complex III from the ubiquinone pool. 9. Ageing of mitochondria, hyperosmotic treatment or addition of 20 mM-benzyl alcohol opposed the effects of glucagon treatment on cytochrome spectra and colletotrichin inhibition of respiration. 10. These results support the hypothesis that glucagon exerts its effects on the mitochondria by perturbing the membrane structure.

The effects of extraction and reincorporation of ubiquinone on succinate dehydrogenase of mitochondrial membranes have been studied. The succinate dehydrogenase activity, measured with ferricyanide as electron acceptor, was diminished by approximatively 75% upon the extraction of ubiquinone and was restored when ubiquinone was reincorporated into the membranes. A study in a model system represented by ubiquinols incorporated in liposomes shows that the initial rates of ubiquinol oxidation by external ferricyanide are almost two order of magnitude lower than the rates of succinate-ferricyanide reductase in mitochondria. It is therefore concluded that the compound feeding electrons to ferricyanide in damaged mitochondria is either ubiquinone in a bound form or a compound between UQ and the antimycin block.

A soluble protein fraction, which confers the reactivity of soluble succinate dehydrogenase towards ubiquinone, was isolated from beef heart mitochondria. This fraction contains three polypeptides as revealed by SDS-electrophoresis; the major peptide (about 80% of protein) has a molecular weight less than 13 000. Several properties of the reconstituted succinate-ubiquinone reductase, i. e. the turnover number of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor sensitivity, stability and reactivity towards artificial electron acceptors were found to be identical to those of the native succinate-ubiquinone region of the respiratory chain. A model of the minimal functionally active structure capable of reduction of ubiquinone by succinate is proposed.

1. A protein fraction containing three polypeptides (the major one with Mr < 13 000) was isolated by means of Triton X-100 extraction of submitochondrial particles specifically treated to remove succinate dehydrogenase. 2. The mixing of the protein fraction with the soluble reconstitutively active succinate dehydrogenase results in formation of highly active succinate-DCIP reductase which is sensitive to thenoyltrifluoroacetone or carboxin. 3. The maximal turnover number of succinate dehydrogenase in the succinate-DCIP reductase reaction revealed in the presence of a saturating amount of the protein fraction is slightly higher than that measured with phenazine methosulfate as artificial electron acceptor. 4. The protein fraction greatly increases the stability of soluble succinate dehydrogenase under aerobic conditions. 5. The titration of soluble succinate dehydrogenase by the protein fraction shows that smaller amounts of the protein fraction are required to block the reduction of ferrycyanide by Hipip center than that required to reveal the maximal catalytic capacity of the enzyme. 6. The apparent Km of the reconstituted system for DCIP depends on the amount of protein fraction; the more protein fraction added to the enzyme, the lower the Km value obtained. 7. A comparison of different reconstituted succinate-ubiquinone reductases described in the literature is presented and the possible arrangement of the native and reconstituted succinate-ubiquinone region of the respiratory chain is discussed.

Rat and pigeon heart mitochondria supplemented with antimycin produce 0.3-1.0nmol of H(2)O(2)/min per mg of protein. These rates are stimulated up to 13-fold by addition of protophores (carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, carbonyl cyanide m-chloromethoxyphenylhydrazone and pentachlorophenol). Ionophores, such as valinomycin and gramicidin, and Ca(2+) also markedly stimulated H(2)O(2) production by rat heart mitochondria. The enhancement of H(2)O(2) generation in antimycin-supplemented mitochondria and the increased O(2) uptake of the State 4-to-State 3 transition showed similar protophore, ionophore and Ca(2+) concentration dependencies. Thenoyltrifluoroacetone and N-bromosuccinimide, which inhibit succinate-ubiquinone reductase activity, also decreased mitochondrial H(2)O(2) production. Addition of cyanide to antimycin-supplemented beef heart submitochondrial particles inhibited the generation of O(2) (-), the precursor of mitochondrial H(2)O(2). This effect was parallel to the increase in cytochrome c reduction and it is interpreted as indicating the necessity of cytochrome c(1) (3+) to oxidize ubiquinol to ubisemiquinone, whose autoxidation yields O(2) (-). The effect of protophores, ionophores and Ca(2+) is analysed in relation to the propositions of a cyclic mechanism for the interaction of ubiquinone with succinate dehydrogenase and cytochromes b and c(1) [Wikstrom & Berden (1972) Biochim. Biophys. Acta283, 403-420; Mitchell (1976) J. Theor. Biol.62, 337-367]. A collapse in membrane potential, increasing the rate of ubisemiquinone formation and O(2) (-) production, is proposed as the molecular mechanism for the enhancement of H(2)O(2) formation rates observed on addition of protophores, ionophores and Ca(2+).

The location of the H+-translocating reactions within energy-conserving Site 2 of the mitochondrial electron transport chain was evaluated from two sets of data. In the first, the H+/2e- ejection ratios and Ca2+/2e- uptake ratios were compared for electron flow from succinate dehydrogenase, whose active site is on the matrix side of the inner membrane and from glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase, whose active site is on the cytosolic side. In intact rat liver mitochondria both substrates yielded H+/2e- ejection ratios close to 4.0 and Ca2+/2e- uptake ratios close to 1.0 during antimycin-sensitive reduction of ferricyanide. With rat liver mitoplasts and ferricytochrome c as electron acceptor, both substrates again gave the same stoichiometric ratios. The second approach involved determination of the sidedness of H+ formation during electron flow from succinate to ferricyanide via bypass of the antimycin block of the cytochrome b.c1 complex provided by N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD), under conditions in which the TMPD-TMPD+ couple does not act as a membrane-penetrating protonophore. Electron flow in this system was inhibited by 2-then-oyltrifluoroacetone, indicating that TMPD probably accepts electrons from ubiquinol. The 2 H+ formed in this system were not delivered into the matrix but appeared directly in the medium in the absence of a protonophore. To accommodate the available evidence on Site 2 substrates, it is concluded that the substrate hydrogens are first transferred to ubiquinone, 2 H+ per 2e then appear in the medium by protolytic dehydrogenation of a species of ubiquinol or ubiquinol-protein having the appropriate sidedness (designated Site 2A), and the other 2 H+ are translocated from the matrix to the medium on passage of 2e- through the cytochrome b x c1 complex (designated Site 2B).

The role of complex II in the cellular protection against oxidative stress was investigated in freshly isolated rat renal proximal tubular cells (PTC) with the use of the nephrotoxin S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC). DCVC caused oxidative stress in PTC as determined by flow cytometry with dihydrorhodamine-123; this fluorescent probe is readily oxidized by primary hydroperoxides such as those formed during lipid peroxidation. The oxidative stress could be prevented by inhibition of the beta-lyase-mediated formation and covalent binding to cellular macromolecules of reactive DCVC metabolites, with amino oxyacetic acid (AOA), or by the antioxidant N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine. Both AOA and DPPD also prevented cell death. The DCVC-induced oxidative stress was associated with a decrease in the succinate:ubiquinone reductase (SQR) activity of complex II, whereas NADH:ubiquinone reductase activity of complex I remained unaffected. AOA prevented the effect on SQR activity, whereas N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine did not. Inhibition of SQR activity with thenoyl trifluoracetone (TTFA) potentiated the DCVC-induced oxidative cell injury, suggesting the involvement of SQR activity in an antioxidant pathway. To investigate this in greater detail, PTC were treated with an inhibitor of cytochrome-c-oxidase, KCN, in a buffer containing glycine, which prevents cell death by KCN. Glycine did not affect cell death by DCVC. KCN prevented the DCVC-induced oxidative stress and cell death. KCN cytoprotection could be prevented by inhibition of SQR activity with oxaloacetate or TTFA, whereas inhibition of either complex I or III with rotenone and antimycin, respectively, did not prevent it. The effect of DCVC on complex II was associated with a decrease in the cellular amount of reduced ubiquinone (QH2); the KCN-mediated cytoprotection was related to a 60% increase of cellular QH2. Rotenone almost completely inhibited ubiquinone reduction even in the presence of KCN, whereas oxaloacetate in combination with KCN resulted in QH2 levels comparable to control. This suggests that the SQR activity by complex II rather than the cellular content of reduced ubiquinone (QH2) is important as a part of the cellular antioxidant machinery in the cyto-protection against oxidative stress.
