The flavin is covalently bound to a histidine in the larger, Fp, subunit. The reduction oxidation midpoint potentials of the clusters designated Sl, S-2, and S-3 in Bacillus subtilis wild-type membrane-bound enzyme were determined as+ 80,-240, and-25 mV, respectively. Magnetic spin interactions between clusters Sl and S-2 and between Sl and S-3 were detected by using EPR spectroscopy. The point mutations of four B. subtilis mutants with defective Fp subunits were mapped. The gene of the mutant specifically lacking covalently bound flavin inthe enzyme was cloned. The mutation was determined from the DNA sequence as a glycine to aspartate substitution at a conserved site seven residues downstream from the hisitidinethat binds the flavin in wild-type enzyme. The redox midpoint potential of the iron-sulfur clusters and the magnetic spin interactions in mutated succinate dehdyrogenases were indistinguishable from the those of the wild type. This shows that flavin has no role in the measured magnetic spin interactions or in the structure and stability of the iron-sulfur clusters. It is concluded from sequence and mutant studies that conserved amino acid residues around the histidyl-FAD are important for FAD binding; however, amino acids located more than 100 residuesdownstream from the histidyl in the Fp subunit can also effect flavinylation.
