QUINOL:FUMARATE REDUCTASE FROM WOLINELLA SUCCINOGENES

Overview

Membrane protein complexes can support both the generation and utilisation, of a transmembrane electrochemical proton potential ('proton-motive, force'), either by transmembrane electron transfer coupled to protolytic, reactions on opposite sides of the membrane or by transmembrane proton, transfer. Here we provide the first evidence that both of these mechanisms, are combined in the case of a specific respiratory membrane protein, complex, the dihaem-containing quinol:fumarate reductase (QFR) of, Wolinella succinogenes, so as to facilitate transmembrane electron, transfer by transmembrane proton transfer. We also demonstrate the, non-functionality of this novel transmembrane proton transfer pathway, ('E-pathway') in a variant QFR where a key glutamate residue has been, replaced. The ...
