Ubihydroquinone:cytochrome (cyt)coxidoreductase (bc1complex and its plant counterpartb6fcomplex) is a vital component of energy-transducing systems in most organisms from bacteria to eukaryotes. In the facultative phototrophic (Ps) bacteriumRhodobactercapsulatus, it is constituted by the cytb, cytc1, and Rieske Fe−S protein subunits and is essential for Ps growth. Of these subunits, cytbhas two nontransmembrane helices,cd1 andcd2, which are critical for its structure and function. In particular, substitution of threonine (T) at position 163 oncd1 with phenylalanine (F) or proline (P) leads to the absence of thebc1complex. Here, Ps+revertants of B:T163F were obtained, and their detailed characterizations indicated that position 163 is important for the assembly of thebc1complex by mediating subunit interactions at the Qosite. The loss of the hydroxyl group at position 163 of cytbwas compensated for by the gain of either a hydroxyl group at position 182 of cytbor 46 of the Fe−S protein or a sulfhydryl group at position 46 of cytc1. Examination of the mitochondrialbc1complex crystal structure [Zhang, Z., Huang, L., Shulmeister, V. M., Chi, Y.-I., Kim, K. K., Hung, L.-W., Crofts, A. R., Berry, E. A., and Kim, S.-H. (1998)Nature 392, 677−684] revealed that the counterparts of B:G182 (i.e., G167) and F:A46 (i.e., A70) are located close to B:T163 (i.e., T148), whereas the C:R46 (i.e., R28) is remarkably far from it. The revertants contained substoichiometric amounts of the Fe−S protein subunit and exhibited steady-state and single-turnover, electron transfer activities lower than that of a wild-typebc1complex. Interestingly, their membrane supernatants contained a smaller form of this subunit with physicochemical properties identical to those of its membrane-bound form. Determination of the amino-terminal amino acid sequence of this soluble Fe−S protein revealed that it was derived from the wild-type protein by proteolytic cleavage at V44. This work revealed for the first time that position 163 of cytbis important both for proper subunit interactions at the Qosite and for inactivation of thebc1complex by proteolytic cleavage of its Fe−S protein subunit at a region apparently responsible for its mobility during Qosite catalysis.
