Avian respiratory complex ii with 3-nitropropionate and ubiquinone

Overview

We report three new structures of mitochondrial respiratory Complex II, (succinate ubiquinone oxidoreductase, E.C. 1.3.5.1) at up to 2.1 A, resolution, with various inhibitors. The structures define the, conformation of the bound inhibitors and suggest the residues involved in, substrate binding and catalysis at the dicarboxylate site. In particular, they support the role of Arg(297) as a general base catalyst accepting a, proton in the dehydrogenation of succinate. The dicarboxylate ligand in, oxaloacetate-containing crystals appears to be the same as that reported, for Shewanella flavocytochrome c treated with fumarate. The plant and, fungal toxin 3-nitropropionic acid, an irreversible inactivator of, succinate dehydrogenase, forms a covalent adduct with the side chain of, Arg(297). The modification eliminates a trypsin cleavage site in the, flavoprotein, and tandem mass spectroscopic analysis of the new fragment, shows the mass of Arg(297) to be increased by 83 Da and to have the, potential of losing 44 Da, consistent with decarboxylation, during, fragmentation.

About this Structure

1YQ4 is a Protein complex structure of sequences from Gallus gallus with BHG, FAD, FES, SF4, F3S, HEM, 3NP, UQ, PEE and GOL as ligands. Active as Succinate dehydrogenase (ubiquinone), with EC number 1.3.5.1 Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
