Two distinct ferredosin-type iron-sulfur centers (designated as Centers S-1 and S-2) are present in the soulble succinate dehydrogenase in approximately equivalent concentrations to that of bound flavin. Both Centers S-1 and S-2 exhibit electron paramagnetic resonance absorbance in the reduced state at the same magnetic field (gz = 2.03, gy = 1.93, and gx = 1.91) with similar line shape. Center S-2 is reducible only chemically with dithionite and remains oxidized under physiological conditions. Thus, its functional role is unknown; however, thermodynamic and EPR characterization of this iron-sulfur center has revealed important molecular events related to this dehydrogenase. The midpoint potentials of Centers S-1 and S-2 determined in the soluble succinate dehydrogenase preparations are -5 +/- 15 mV and -400 +/- 15 mV, respectively, while corresponding midpoint potentials determined in particulate preparations, such as succinate-cytochrome c reductase or succinate-ubiquinone reductase, are 0 +/- 15 mV and -260 +/- 15 mV. Reconstitution of soluble succinate dehydrogenase with the cytochrome b-c1 complex is accompanied by a reversion of the Center S-I midpoint from -400 +/- 15 mV to -250 +/- 15 mV with a concomitant restoration of antimycin A-sensitive succinate-cytochrome c reductase activity. There observations indicate that, during the reconstitution process, Center S-I is restored to its original molecular environment. In the reconstitutively active succinate dehydrogenase, the relaxation time of Center S-2 is much shorter than that of S-1, thus Center S-2 spectra are well discernible only below 20 K (at 1 milliwatt of power), while the resonance absorbance of Center S-1 is detectable at higher temperatures and readily saturates below 15 K. Over a wide temperature range the power saturation of Center S-1 resonance absorbance is relieved by Center S-2 in the paramagnetic state, and the Center S-2 central resonance absorbance is broadened by Center S-1 spins, due to a spin-spin interaction between these centers. These observations indicate an adjacent location of these centers in the enzyme molecule. In reconstitutively inactive enzymes, subtle modification of the enzyme structure appears to shift the temperature dependence of Center S-2 relaxation to the higher temperature. Thus the EPR signals of Center S-2 are also detectable at higher temperature. In this system a splitting of the central peak of the Center S-2 spectrum due to spin-spin interaction was observed at extremely low temperatures, while this was not observed in reconstitutively active enzymes or in paritculate preparations. This spin-spin interaction phenomena of inactive enzymes disappeared upon chemical reactivation with concomitant appearance of the reconstitutive activity. These observations provide a close correlation between the molecular integrity of the enzyme and its physiological function.

Preparations of NADH-ubiquinone reductase from bovine heart mitochondria (Complex I) were shown to contain at least 16 polypeptides by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. 2. High-molecular-weight soluble NADH dehydrogenase prepared from Triton X-100 extracts of submitochondrial particles [Baugh & King (1972) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 49, 1165-1173] was similar to Complex I in its polypeptide composition. 3. Solubilization of Complex I by phospholipase A treatment and subsequent sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation did not alter the polypeptide composition. 4. Lysophosphatidylcholine treatment of Complex I caused some selective solubilization of a polypeptide of mol.wt. 33000 previosuly postulated to be the transmembrane component of Complex I in the mitochondrial membrane [Ragan (1975) in Energy Transducing Membranes: Structure, Function and Reconstitution (Bennun, Bacila & Najjar, eds.), Junk, The Hague, in the press]. 5. Chaotropic resolution of Complex I caused solubilization of polypeptides of molecular weights 75000, 53000, 29000, 26000 and 15500 and traces of others in the 10000-20000-mol.wt.range. 6. The major components of the iron-protein fraction from chaotropic resolution had molecular weights of 75000, 53000 and 29000, whereas the flavoprotein contained polypeptides of molecular weights 53000 and 26000 in a 1:1 molar ratio. 7. Iodination of Complex I by lactoperoxidase indicated that the water-soluble polypeptides released by chaotropic resolution, in particular those of the flavoprotein fraction, were largely buried in the intact Complex. 8. The polypeptides of molecular weights 75000, 53000, 42000, 39000, 33000, 29000 and 26000 were present in 1:2:1:1:1:1:1 molar proportions. The two subunits of molecular weight 53000 are probably non-identical.

(1) The steady-state kinetics of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of Type-II (low molecular weight) NADH dehydrogenase with the acceptors ferricyanide, cytochrome c and 2,6-dichloroindophenol are consistent with the simultaneous operation of an ordered and a ping-pong mechanism. Thus, depending on the acceptor concentration, the reduced enzyme is preferentially oxidized before or after NAD+ disociates from it. (2) The acceptors are able to oxidize the reduced enzyme and its NAD+ complex equally well. In contrast to the kinetics of the Type-I (high molecular weight) enzyme, double substrate inhibition is not found, implying that the site of oxidation of the reduced enzyme by acceptors and the NADH-binding site are remote. (3) With the indophenol, in the concentration range measured, the ordered mechanism is mainly operative. At infinite NADH and acceptor concentrations the rate constant of the reduction of enzyme by bound NADH is measured. (4) With ferricyanide and cytochrome c, in the concentration range measured, erroneous conclusions may be drawn from extrapolations owing to the fact that extrapolated lines in double-reciprocal plots of turnover number against acceptor concentration, at different NADH concentrations, intersect in the third quadrant. A method is described that allows the extrapolation of these data to zero acceptor concentrations. (5) The relation between activity and NADH concentration is sigmoidal (h = 2.0) with ferricyanide or cytochrome c as acceptor, but hyperbolic with 2,6-dichloroindophenol. The latter is also an inhibitor, competitive with respect to NADH. It is concluded that this two-electron acceptor, like ubiquinone, acts as an allosteric effector. (6) Type II is isolated from Type I without gross changes in tertiary structure, as judged by the unaltered rate constants of dissociation of NADH (k-1) and NAD+ (k4) and association of NADH (k1). (7) Type II differs from Type I in two respects, (a) The accessibility of the acceptors is greater by at least two orders of magnitude (k3). (b) The redox potential of the prosthetic group FMN is 120 mV less, as judged by a drop in the value of k2 by four orders of magnitude. It is suggested that one or more of the iron-sulphur proteins present in Type-I but lacking in Type-II dehydrogenase functions as an effector, regulating the redox potential of the FMN.

The three alcaloids inhibited the NADH oxidase system of electron transfer particles from beef heart up to 90--100 percent. The concentrations of half-inhibition amounted to 50 muM for berberine sulphate and tetrahydropalmatine and 0.55 mM for alpinigenine. All three compounds showed comparable inhibitions on the succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase system only at concentrations 20--25 times as high. The site of action may be the iron sulphur region of the complex I of the electron transfer system. The biological importance of this respiratory inhibitions should be taken into account.

1. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra at 15 K of reduced membrane particles of Paracoccus denitrificans exhibit resonance signals with g values, line shapes and temperature profile which are similar to the signals of the iron-sulfur centers observed in the NADH-ubiquinone segment of mitochondrial respiratory chains. These iron-sulfur centers are reducible with NADH, NADPH as well as chemically with dithionite. 2. Sulphate-limited growth of Paracoccus denitrificans results in the loss of an electron paramagnetic resonance signal (gz approximately 2.05, gy approximately gx approximately 1.92) which has properties similar to those of iron-sulfur center 2 of the NADH dehydrogenase of mitochondrial origin. The loss of this signal is accompanied by a decrease in the NADH oxidase and NADH ferricyanide oxidoreductase activities to respectively 30 and 40% of the values found for succinate-limited growth conditions. In addition respiration in membrane particles from sulphate-limited cells loses its sensitivity to rotenone. 3. Since sulphate-limited growth of Paracoccus denitrificans induces loss of site I phosphorylation [Arch. Microbiol. (1977) 112, 25-34] these observations suggest a close correlation between site I phosphorylation, rotenone-sensitivity and the presence of an electron paramagnetic resonance signal with gz approximately 2.05 and gy approximately gx approximately 1.92.

1. Type-I NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) was solubilized and dissociated into subunits by NaClO4. NADH slows the dissociation. On subsequent stepwise addition of (NH4)2SO4 the dissociation is partly reversed, as is to be expected from the opposing effects of ClO-4 and SO-24, which are on the salting-in and salting-out sides, respectively, of the lyotropic series. 2. In consequence, the aggregates of subunits that are separated by (NH4)2-SO4 fractionation consist of randomly associated subunits as well as fragments of Type I enzyme. The fraction precipitating at 27% satd. (NH4)2SO4 is flavin-poor, that remaining soluble at 55% satd. (NH4)2SO4 flavin-rich and those separating between 27 and 55% satd. (NH4)2SO4 intermediate in composition. 3. The fraction remaining soluble at 55% satd. (NH4)2SO4 contains the purified low-molecular-weight iron-sulphur flavoprotein (Type-II dehydrogenase). It is a dimer consisting of one molecule of FMN, one 28-kilodalton and one 56-kilodalton subunit per protomer. Work of others indicates that it contains 4 Fe and 4 acid-labile S atoms per molecule of FMN. Sometimes the fraction remaining soluble at 55% satd. (NH4)2SO4 contained an additional small subunit (12 kilodaltons) and four additional Fe and acid labile S atoms per protomer. The sedimentation coefficients (s020,w) of the two preparations were 5.3 and 6.6 S, respectively, with calculated frictional ratios of 1.5 and 1.24, respectively. 4. The intermediate fractions are mixtures of the various subunits present in Complex I. Specifically a fraction separating at 55% satd. (NH4)2SO4 was found to be a mixture of two fragments, the pure iron-sulphur flavoprotein and a 26-S fragment that contained per protomer four subunits of 12 kilodaltons, one each of 28, 32, 56 and 77 kilodaltons, one molecule of FMN and 20 Fe and acid-labile S atoms. It was probably tetrameric or even larger. 5. The oxidoreductase activity of the intermediate fractions is dependent on the protein concentration, the activity with ferricyanide increasing and that with ferricytochrome c decreasing with increasing protein concentration. This is interpreted as an increased association of subunits present in the intermediate fractions. Similar results are obtained when flavin-rich and flavin-poor fractions are mixed. The association is cooperative. NADH favours the association of the subunits. 6. Association of the subunits is accompanied by a 10-fold increase in k2 (rate constant for intramolecular electron flow), a 10-fold decrease of the accessibility of ferricyanide to the reduced enzyme and a 10(4)-fold decrease of the accessibility of ferricytochrome c. The Ks (NADH) is also decreased. Although the changes are in the direction to be expected from a conversion of Type II enzyme to Type I, the value of k2 is still much less than in the latter enzyme.

Oxidation factor, a protein required for electron transfer from succinate to cytochrome c in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, has been purified from isolated succinate . cytochrome c reductase complex. Purification of the protein has been followed by a reconstitution assay in which restoration of ubiquinol . cytochrome c reductase activity is proportional to the amount of oxidation factor added back to depleted reductase complex. The purified protein is a homogeneous polypeptide on acrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate and migrates with an apparent Mr = 24,500. Purified oxidation factor restores succinate . cytochrome c reductase and ubiquinol . cytochrome c reductase activities to depleted reductase complex. It is not required for succinate dehydrogenase nor for succinate . ubiquinone reductase activities of the reconstituted reductase complex. Oxidation factor co-electrophoreses with the iron-sulfur protein polypeptide of ubiquinol . cytochrome c reductase complex. The purified protein contains 56 nmol of nonheme iron and 36 nmol of acid-labile sulfide/mg of protein and possesses an EPR spectrum with the characteristic "g = 1.90" signal identical to that of the iron-sulfur protein of the cytochrome b . c1 complex. In addition, the optimal conditions for extraction of oxidation factor, including reduction with hydrosulfite and treatment of the b . c1 complex with antimycin, are identical to those which facilitate extraction of the iron-sulfur protein from the b . c1 complex. These results indicate that oxidation factor is a reconstitutively active form of the iron-sulfur protein of the cytochrome b . c1 complex first discovered by Rieske and co-workers (Rieske, J.S., Maclennan, D.H., and Coleman, R. (1964) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 15, 338-344) and thus demonstrate that this iron-sulfur protein is required for electron transfer from ubiquinol to cytochrome c in the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

The temperature dependence of EPR spectra of oxidized [4Fe-4S](-1,-2) ferredoxins (previously designated HiPIP) and a reduced [4Fe-4S](-2,-3) ferredoxin have been analyzed so as to determine the energy of a low-lying excited electronic state. The values obtained were: Center S-3 from beef heart, 44 cm-1; Center S-3 from mung bean, 53 cm-1; the [4Fe-4S](-1,-2) ferredoxin from Thermus thermophilus, 78 cm-1; Center N-2 of NADH ubiquinone reductase, 83 cm-1. Increasing axial distortion in the EPR spectra of the [4Fe-4S](-1,-2), ferrodoxins was associated with higher energy differences. Center N-2, a [Fe-4S](-2,-3) iron-sulfur cluster does not fit this relationship.

The electron spin relaxation of iron-sulphur centres and ubisemiquinones of plant mitochondria was studied by microwave power saturation of the respective EPR signals. In the microwave power saturation technique, the experimental saturation data were fitted by a least-squares procedure to a saturation function which is characterized by the power for half-saturation (P1/2) and the inhomogeneity parameter (b). Since the theoretical saturation curves were based on a one-electron spin system, it became possible to differentiate between EPR signals of iron-sulphur centres which have similar g values but different P1/2 values. If the difference in the P1/2 values of the overlapped components was small, no significant deviation from these theoretical saturation curves was observed, as shown for the overlapped signals of centre S-3 and the Ruzicka centre of mung bean mitochondria. By contrast, the microwave power saturation data for the g = 1.93 signal (17--26 K) of Arum maculatum submitochondrial particles reduced by succinate could not be fitted using one-electron saturation curves. Reduction by NADH resulted in a stronger deviation. Since the iron-sulphur centres of Complex I were present only in an unusually low concentration in A. maculatum mitochondria, it was proposed that an iron-sulphur centre of the external NADH dehydrogenase contributes to the spectrum of centre S-1. For mung bean mitochondria, the g = 1.93 signal below 20 K could be attributed mainly to centre N-2. The microwave power saturation technique was also suitable for detecting magnetic interactions between paramagnetic centres. From the saturation data of the complex spectrum attributable to centre S-3 and an interacting ubisemiquinone pair in mung bean mitochondria (oxidized state) followed that centre S-3 has a faster electron spin relaxation than the ubisemiquinone molecules. It is noteworthy that the differences in the relaxation rates were maintained despite the interaction between centre S-3 and the ubisemiquinones. Furthermore, a relaxation enhancement was observed for centre S-1 of A. maculatum submitochondrial particles upon reduction of centre S-2 by dithionite. This indicated a magnetic interaction between centres S-1 and S-2.

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.
