Separate binding sites for antimycin and mucidin in the respiratory chain of the bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans and their occurrence in other denitrificans bacteria.
By means of the method of fluorimetric titration it has been shown that mucidin does not affect the attachment of antimycin to membranes from anaerobically grown Paracoccus denitrificans. The fluorimetric titration with antimycin can be used in the determination of the amount of the cytochrome bc1 complex in the membrane. In cells inhibited with antimycin, the oxidation of cytochromes c was accompanied by the reduction of cytochrome b; in the presence of mucidin this effect did not take place. The results, which indicated a difference in binding sites, were interpreted in terms of the Q-cycle [Mitchell (1976) J. Theor. Biol. 62, 327-367; Trumpower (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 639, 129-155]. Comparable sensitivity towards antimycin and mucidin was shown by other typical denitrifying bacteria: Pseudomonas stutzeri and Alcaligenes xylosoidans, subspecies denitrificans.

Effects of bc1-site electron transfer inhibitors on the absorption spectra of mitochondrial cytochromes b.
Changes are described that are brought about by antimycin, NoHOQnO, funiculosin, myxothiazol and mucidin in the alpha-, beta- and gamma-absorption bands of reduced and oxidized cytochromes b in the isolated complex bc1 form beef heart mitochondria. The inhibitors can be divided into 2 groups. Antimycin, funiculosin and NoHOQnO are likely to shift the spectrum of b-562 and compete for specific binding with complex bc1, with each other but not with myxothiazol and mucidin. The spectral effects of the latter two inhibitors are more difficult to interpret and may involve contributions not only from b-562 but from b-566 as well. The existence of 2 independent inhibitor binding-sites in the complex bc1 corroborates the Q-cycle hypothesis.

Effect of electron transfer inhibitors on superoxide generation in the cytochrome bc1 site of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
Antimycin, 2-nonyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide and funiculosin induce O.2(-) generation by submitochondrial particles oxidizing succinate, whereas KCN, mucidin, myxothiazol or 2,3-dimercaptopropanol inhibit O.2(-) generation. Thenoyltrifluoroacetone does not induce superoxide production by itself but slightly stimulates the reaction initiated by antimycin. The results indicate that auto-oxidation of unstable ubisemiquinone formed in centre o of the Q-cycle generates most of the O.2(-) radicals in the cytochrome bc1-site of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
