title: Novel isolation of ubiquinone-binding proteins located in different sites of beef heart mitochondrial respiratory chain.
abstract: Ubiquinone-binding proteins were isolated from beef heart submitochondrial particles by a simple fractionation procedure using ethanol and ammonium acetate after solubilization of the particles with deoxycholate. The ubiquinone-binding proteins were further purified by passing them through a column of phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B to eliminate the free form of ubiquinone and hydrophobic proteins such as cytochromes. At least 25% of the total ubiquinone present in the submitochondrial particles was associated with the purified proteins. Applying the same method, ubiquinone-binding proteins could be isolated from complexes I and III.
