Revised Manuscript Received March 16, 1993 abstract: Site-directed mutations of conserved residues in the domain binding the 2Fe-2S cluster of the Rieske subunit of the ubiquinolxytochrome C2 oxidoreductase {bc\complex) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides have been constructed. The substitution of aspartate for glycine at position 133 in the Rb. sphaeroides sequence (mutant FG133D), which mimicked a mutation previously isolatedand characterized in yeast by Gatti et al.[Gatti, D. L., Meinhardt, S. W., Ohnishi, T., & Tzagoloff, A.(1989) J. Mol. Biol. 205,421-435], allowed more detailed studies of thermodynamic behavior and the kinetics of the ubiquinolxytochrome ci oxidoreductase on flash activation of the photosynthetic chain. The impaired catalysis in this mutant complex is localized to the quinol oxidizing site. The apparent second-order rate constant for reduction of cytochrome bn via the quinol oxidizing site is about 20-fold lower than that of the wild-type and correlates with itsapparent activation barrier being increased relative to that of the wild-type. Substitutions for the cysteines and a histidine which are conserved in the putative 2Fe-2S binding domain of the Rieske subunit selectively knock out the 2Fe-2S cluster and quinol oxidizingactivity, while leavingthe cytochromes and other catalytic sites essentially intact. Reversion properties of these strains are consistent with the mutated residues being essential. Membranes of the cytochrome ci mutant CQ228stop [Konishi, K., Van Doren, S. R., Kramer, D. M., Crofts, AR, & Gennis, R. B.(1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 14270-14276], with the soluble domain of cytochrome ci released from the cytoplasmic membraneto the periplasm, retain a crippled complex which contains a relatively unperturbed 2Fe-2S center and cytochrome b titrating in the same range as cytochrome bn, but with a broader a band and a peak shifted to the red (\m at 563 nm). The complex binds antimycin and stigmatellin in the absence of both membrane-bound cytochrome ci and any center with the properties of the low-potential cytochrome b heme. Hence, the essential architecture of the 2Fe-2S cluster, as reported by EPR spectroscopy and by stigmatellin binding is independent of the cytochrome Ci subunit.Enzymes of the ubiquinolxytochrome c oxidoreductase family (cyt1 bc\complex or b (f complex in chloroplasts) are ubiquitous components of many respiratory and photosynthetic electron transport chains. The electron-transfer reactions through the high-potential iron-sulfur cluster and ci heme and through the two lower potential b hemes of these complexes drive proton pumping by a Q-cycle mechanisms (Mitchell,
