Mutating three conserved alanine residues in the tether region of the iron−sulfur protein of the yeast cytochromebc1complex resulted in 22−56% decreases in enzymatic activity [Obungu et al. (2000)Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1457, 36−44]. The activity of the cytochromebc1complex isolated from A86L was decreased 60% compared to the wild-type without loss of heme or protein and without changes in the 2Fe2S cluster or proton-pumping ability. The activity of thebc1complex from mutant A92R was identical to the wild-type, while loss of both heme and activity was observed in thebc1complex isolated from mutant A90I. Computer simulations indicated that neither mutation A86L nor mutation A92R affects the α-helical backbone in the tether region; however, the side chain of the leucine substituted for Ala-86 interacts with the side chain of Leu-89. The Arrhenius plot for mutant A86L was apparently biphasic with a transition observed at 17−19 °C and an activation energy of 279.9 kJ/mol below 17 °C and 125.1 kJ/mol above 17 °C. The initial rate of cytochromec1reduction was lowered 33% in mutant A86L; however, the initial rate of cytochromebreduction was unaffected, suggesting that movement of the tether region of the iron−sulfur protein is necessary for maximum rates of enzymatic activity. Substituting a leucine for Ala-86 impedes the unwinding of the α-helix and hence movement of the tether.
