Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of mammalian succinate dehydrogenase. Detection of the tetranuclear cluster S2.
Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of Complex II from the mitochondrial respiratory chain and soluble preparations of succinate dehydrogenase have, for the first time, identified a signal arising from a [4Fe-4S]1+ cluster, S2, in dithionite-reduced samples. Redox titrations, monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrate that this signal appears at the same midpoint potential as the enhancement of the spin relaxation properties of the [2Fe-2S]1+ center, S1, in both Complex II and reconstitutively active soluble enzyme. The results complement recent magnetic circular dichroism studies of succinate dehydrogenase (Johnson, M. K., Morningstar, J. E., Bennett, D. E., Ackrell, B. A. C., and Kearney, E. B. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 7368-7378) which assigned cluster S2 as a [4Fe-4S]2+,1+ center and provide evidence for spin interaction between the paramagnetic reduced forms of centers S1 and S2.
