The involvement of a histidine residue of the membrane-anchoring protein (QPs) fraction in reconstitution of succinate dehydrogenase to form succinate-ubiquinone reductase is studied by using a histidine-modifying reagent, diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC). A maximum inactivation of 80% of reconstitutive activity is obtained when QPs is treated with 1 mM DEPC at 0°C for 30 min in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.0). DEPC also inactivates about 85% of intact succinate-ubiquinone reductase. The inactivation of succinate-ubiquinone reductase by DEPC is a result of the modification of essential histidine residues of succinate dehydrogenase. The inactivation is not a result of the modification of the histidine residue in QPs which is essential for interaction with succinate dehyrogenase because the QPs dissociated from the inactivated succinate-ubiquinone reductase is active in reconstitution with active succinate-dehydrogenase. Apparently, the essential histidine in QPs is shielded by succinate dehydrogenase and thus inaccessible to DEPC modification in succinate-ubiquinone reductase. The involvement of a histidine residue of QPs in interaction with succinate dehydrogenase is further evident by the presence of 553 nm shoulder on the α-absorption peak of reduced cytochromeb-560 (a characteristic of physical association of QPs with succinate dehydrogenase) in the DEPC-inactivated succinate-ubiquinone reductase. This shoulder disappears from a mixture of succinate dehydrogenase and DEPC-treated QPs when reduced with dithionite. About one histidine residue per molecule of QPs is modified in the DEPC-treated sample, suggesting that only one histidine residue is essential for interaction with succinate dehyrogenase. This essential histidine group is located in the smaller subunit (Mr13 000) of QPs.
