Abstract
Bovine heart mitochondrial respiratory complex II generates ROS, mostly as superoxide, at the rate of about 20% of that detected during simultaneous operation of complex I and II when oxidation of ubiquinol is prevented by myxothiazol. ROS generating activity at different fumarate/succinate concentrations ratio implies that an enzyme component with a midpoint potential 40mV more positive than that of fumarate/succinate couple is the donor for one-electron reduction of oxygen. This suggests that the iron-sulfur cluster(s) is(are) involved in superoxide formation. Complex II-mediated ROS production exhibits a maximum at low (about 50μM) succinate concentration and gradually declines to zero activity upon further increase of the substrate. This phenomenology is explained and kinetically modeled to suggest a ping-pong mechanism of ROS generating activity where only dicarboxylate free reduced enzyme is oxidized by oxygen. The succinate:quinone reductase activity catalyzed by purified succinate:ubiquinone reductase also exhibits a ping-pong mechanism where only dicarboxylate free enzyme is oxidized by added quinone. Together these data suggest long distance interaction between the succinate (fumarate) binding and ubiquinone (ubiquinol) reactive sites.

Abstract
A computational mechanistic model of superoxide (O2•-) formation in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) was developed to facilitate the quantitative analysis of factors controlling mitochondrial O2•- production and assist in the interpretation of experimental studies. The model takes into account all individual electron transfer reactions in Complexes I and III. The model accounts for multiple, often seemingly contradictory observations on the effects of ΔΨ and ΔpH, and for the effects of multiple substrate and inhibitor conditions, including differential effects of Complex III inhibitors antimycin A, myxothiazol and stigmatellin. Simulation results confirm that, in addition to O2•- formation in Complex III and at the flavin site of Complex I, the quinone binding site of Complex I is an additional superoxide generating site that accounts for experimental observations on O2•- production during reverse electron transfer. However, our simulation results predict that, when cytochrome c oxidase is inhibited during oxidation of succinate, ROS production at this site is eliminated and almost all superoxide in Complex I is generated by reduced FMN, even when the redox pressure for reverse electron transfer from succinate is strong. In addition, the model indicates that conflicting literature data on the kinetics of electron transfer in Complex III involving the iron-sulfur protein-cytochrome bL complex can be resolved in favor of a dissociation of the protein only after electron transfer to cytochrome bH. The model predictions can be helpful in understanding factors driving mitochondrial superoxide formation in intact cells and tissues.

Abstract
With the arrival of the third millennium, in spite of unprecedented progress in molecular medicine, cancer remains as untamed as ever. The complexity of tumours, dictating the potential response of cancer cells to anti-cancer agents, has been recently highlighted in a landmark paper by Weinberg and Hanahan on hallmarks of cancer [1]. Together with the recently published papers on the complexity of tumours in patients and even within the same tumour (see below), the cure for this pathology seems to be an elusive goal. Indisputably, the strategy ought to be changed, searching for targets that are generally invariant across the landscape of neoplastic diseases. One such target appears to be the mitochondrial complex II (CII) of the electron transfer chain, a recent focus of research. We document and highlight this particularly intriguing target in this review paper and give examples of drugs that use CII as their molecular target. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Respiratory complex II: Role in cellular physiology and disease.

Abstract
Cytochrome bd is a terminal quinol oxidase in Escherichia coli. Mitochondrial respiration is inhibited at cytochrome bc(1) (complex III) by myxothiazol. Mixing purified cytochrome bd oxidase with myxothiazol-inhibited bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) restores up to 50% of the original rotenone-sensitive NADH oxidase and succinate oxidase activities in the absence of exogenous ubiquinone analogs. Complex III bypassed respiration and is saturated at amounts of added cytochrome bd similar to that of other natural respiratory components in SMP. The cytochrome bd tightly binds to the mitochondrial membrane and operates as an intrinsic component of the chimeric respiratory chain.

Abstract
The transfer of electrons and protons between membrane-bound respiratory complexes is facilitated by lipid-soluble redox-active quinone molecules (Q). This work presents a structural analysis of the quinone-binding site (Q-site) identified in succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (SQR) from Escherichia coli. SQR, often referred to as Complex II or succinate dehydrogenase, is a functional member of the Krebs cycle and the aerobic respiratory chain and couples the oxidation of succinate to fumarate with the reduction of quinone to quinol (QH(2)). The interaction between ubiquinone and the Q-site of the protein appears to be mediated solely by hydrogen bonding between the O1 carbonyl group of the quinone and the side chain of a conserved tyrosine residue. In this work, SQR was co-crystallized with the ubiquinone binding-site inhibitor Atpenin A5 (AA5) to confirm the binding position of the inhibitor and reveal additional structural details of the Q-site. The electron density for AA5 was located within the same hydrophobic pocket as ubiquinone at, however, a different position within the pocket. AA5 was bound deeper into the site prompting further assessment using protein-ligand docking experiments in silico. The initial interpretation of the Q-site was re-evaluated in the light of the new SQR-AA5 structure and protein-ligand docking data. Two binding positions, the Q(1)-site and Q(2)-site, are proposed for the E. coli SQR quinone-binding site to explain these data. At the Q(2)-site, the side chains of a serine and histidine residue are suitably positioned to provide hydrogen bonding partners to the O4 carbonyl and methoxy groups of ubiquinone, respectively. This allows us to propose a mechanism for the reduction of ubiquinone during the catalytic turnover of the enzyme.

Abstract
The succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is composed of four nonidentical subunits encoded by the nuclear genes SDH1, SDH2, SDH3, and SDH4. The hydrophilic subunits, SDH1p and SDH2p, comprise the catalytic domain involved in succinate oxidation. They are anchored to the inner mitochondrial membrane by two small, hydrophobic subunits, SDH3p and SDH4p, which are required for electron transfer and ubiquinone reduction. Comparison of the deduced primary sequence of the yeast SDH4p subunit to SDH4p subunits from other species reveals the presence of an unusual 25-30 amino acid carboxyl-terminal extension following the last predicted transmembrane domain. The extension is predicted to be on the cytoplasmic side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. To investigate the extension's function, three truncations were created and characterized. The results reveal that the carboxyl-terminal extension is necessary for respiration and growth on nonfermentable carbon sources, for ubiquinone reduction, and for enzyme stability. Combined with inhibitor studies using a ubiquinone analog, our results suggest that the extension and more specifically, residues 128-135 are involved in the formation of a ubiquinone binding site. Our findings support a two-ubiquinone binding site model for the S. cerevisiae SDH.

Abstract
A simple system for aerobic assay of the quinol-fumarate reductase reaction catalyzed by purified soluble bovine heart succinate-ubiquinone reductase in the presence of NADH, NAD(P)H-quinone reductase (DT-diaphorase) and an appropriate quinone is described. The reaction is inhibited by carboxin, suggesting that the same quinone/quinol binding site is involved in electron transfer from succinate to ubiquinone and from ubiquinol to fumarate. The kinetic properties of the reaction in both directions and comparative affinities of the substrate binding sites of the enzyme to substrates (products) and competitive inhibitors are reported. Considerable difference in affinity of the substrates binding site to oxaloacetate was demonstrated when the enzyme was assayed in the direct and reverse directions. These results were taken to indicate that the oxidized dicarboxylate-free enzyme is an intermediate during the steady-state succinate-ubiquinone reductase reaction, whereas the reduced dicarboxylate-free enzyme is an intermediate of the steady-state ubiquinol-fumarate reductase reaction. No difference in the reactivity of the substrate-protected cysteine and arginine residues was found when the pseudo-first-order rate constants for N-ethylmaleimide and phenylglyoxal inhibition were determined for oxidized and quinol-reduced enzyme. Quinol-fumarate reductase activity was reconstituted from the soluble succinate dehydrogenase and low-molecular-mass ubiquinone reactivity conferring protein(s). No reduction of cytochrome b was observed in the presence of quinol generating system, whereas S-3 low temperature EPR-detectable iron-sulfur center was completely reduced by quinol under equilibrium (without fumarate) or steady-state (in the presence of fumarate). No significant reduction of ferredoxin type iron-sulfur centers was detected during the steady-state quinol-fumarate oxidoreductase reaction. The data obtained eliminate participation of cytochrome b in the quinol-fumarate reductase reaction and show that the rate limiting step of the overall reaction lies between iron-sulfur center S-3 and lower midpoint potential redox components of the enzyme.

Abstract
The inhibitory effect of pyridoxal phosphate on the Triton X-100 solubilized purified bovine heart succinate-ubiquinone reductase (Choudhry, Z.M., Gavrikova, E.V., Kotlyar, A.B., Tushurashvilli, P.R. and Vinogradov, A.D. (1985) FEBS Lett. 182, 171-175) was studied. The kinetics of the enzyme inactivation by pyridoxal phosphate was found to be strongly dependent both qualitatively and quantitatively on the concentration of the protein-detergent complexes. In the diluted system the inactivation of the ubiquinone-depleted enzyme was completely prevented by the saturating concentrations of Q2, carboxin, thenoiltrifluoroacetone and pentachlorophenol, i.e., by the substrate and specific inhibitors of the enzyme. The protective effects of Q2 and the inhibitors was employed to quantitate the affinities of the ligands to their specific binding sites. Strong difference in the affinity of Q2 to the reduced and oxidized enzyme was found. When the soluble reconstitutively active succinate dehydrogenase was treated with pyridoxal phosphate, the reactivity of the enzyme towards low ferricyanide concentrations and its reconstitutive activity was significantly protected against aerobic inactivation.

Abstract
A simple procedure for preparation of highly purified soluble succinate-ubiquinone reductase from bovine heart mitochondrial particles is described. The enzyme exhibits four major bands on sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis and contains (nmol per mg protein): covalently bound flavin, 6; non-heme iron, 53; acid-labile sulfur, 50; cytochrome b-560 heme, 1.2. The enzyme catalyzes thenoyltrifluoroacetone, or carboxin-sensitive (pure non-competitive with Q2) reduction of Q2 by succinate with a turnover number close to that in parent submitochondrial particles. The succinate reduced enzyme exhibits ferredoxin-type iron-sulfur center EPR-signal (g = 1.94 species) and a semiquinone signal (g = 2.00). An oxidized preparation shows a symmetric signal centered around g = 2.01. An unusual dissociation of the enzyme in the absence of a detergent is described. When added to the assay mixture from a concentrated protein-detergent solution, the enzyme does not reduce Q2 being highly reactive towards ferricyanide ('low Km ferricyanide reactive site'; Vinogradov, A.D., Gavrikova, E.V. and Goloveshkina, V.G. (1975) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 65, 1264-1269). The ubiquinone reductase, not the ferricyanide reductase was observed when the enzyme was added to the assay mixture from the diluted protein-detergent solutions. Thus the dissociation of succinate dehydrogenase from the complex occurs in the absence of a detergent dependent on the concentration of the protein-detergent complex in the stock preparation where the samples for the assay are taken from. An active antimycin-sensitive succinate-cytochrome c reductase was reconstituted by admixing of the soluble succinate-ubiquinone reductase and the cytochrome b-c1 complex, i.e., from the complexes which both contain the ubiquinone reactivity conferring protein (QPs). Cytochrome c reductase was also reconstituted from the succinate-ubiquinone reductase and succinate-cytochrome c reductase containing inactivated succinate dehydrogenase. The reconstitution experiments suggest that there exists a specific protein-protein (or lipid) interaction between QPs and a certain component(s) of the b-c1 complex.

Abstract
Treatment of the soluble ubiquinone-deficient succinate: ubiquinone reductase with pyridoxal phosphate results in the inhibition of the carboxin-sensitive ubiquinone-reductase activity of the enzyme. The inactivation is prevented by the soluble homolog of ubiquinone (Q2) but is insensitive to the dicarboxylates interacting with the substrate binding site of succinate dehydrogenase. The reactivity of the pyridoxal phosphate-inhibited enzyme with different electron acceptors suggests that the observed inhibition is due to the dissociation of succinate dehydrogenase from the enzyme complex. The soluble succinate dehydrogenase was recovered in the supernatant after treatment of the insoluble succinate: ubiquinone reductase with pyridoxal phosphate. The data obtained strongly suggest the participation of amino groups in the interaction between succinate dehydrogenase and the ubiquinone reactivity conferring peptide within the complex.
