Molecular properties, genetics, and biosynthesis of Bacillus subtilis succinate dehydrogenase complex

Hederstedt, Lars LU (1986) In Methods in Enzymology 126. p.399-414
Abstract
This chapter discusses the molecular properties, genetics, and biosynthesis of Bacillus subtilis succinate dehydrogenase complex. The citric acid cycle enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a membrane-bound iron-sulfur flavoprotein. Mitochondrial and bacterial SDH and membrane-bound fumarate reductase in anaerobic and facultative bacteria are similar in composition. SDH and also fumarate reductase can be extracted with detergent from the membrane in a complex with one or two (depending on the organism) small hydrophobic polypeptides. These small associated polypeptides are integral membrane proteins that anchor each enzyme to the membrane and are, at least in mitochondria, required for electron transfer from enzyme to quinone.

These small associated polypeptides are integral membrane proteins that anchor each enzyme to the membrane and are, at least in mitochondria, required for electron transfer from enzyme to quinone. The chapter discusses about the (1) growth of B. subtilis and isolation of membranes, (2) immunoprecipitation and composition of B. subtilis SDH Complex, (3) genetics of B. subtilis SDH-protoplast fusion, and (4) biosynthesis of SDH Complex.
