Abstract
Mitochondrial cytochrome bc1 complex performs two functions: It is a respiratory multienzyme complex and it recognizes a mitochondrial targeting presequence. Refined crystal structures of the 11-subunit bc1 complex from bovine heart reveal full views of this bifunctional enzyme. The "Rieske" iron-sulfur protein subunit shows significant conformational changes in different crystal forms, suggesting a new electron transport mechanism of the enzyme. The mitochondrial targeting presequence of the "Rieske" protein (subunit 9) is lodged between the two "core" subunits at the matrix side of the complex. These "core" subunits are related to the matrix processing peptidase, and the structure unveils how mitochondrial targeting presequences are recognized.
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Interaction of the mitochondrial targeting presequence of the ISP (subunit 9 in bright red) with the two core subunits (core^ 1 in aqua blue and core 2 in green). (A) Position of subunit 9 between the core 1 and core 2 subunits viewed from the mitochondrial matrix side of the complex. The cleaved NH[2]-terminal arm of the^ ISP is shown in magenta. The -sheet of the NH[2]-terminal domain of core 2 is highlighted (yellowish green), and the two possible^ Zn2+-binding sites are marked by black arrowheads. (B) Stereoview of various interactions between the COOH-terminal -strand of^ subunit 9 and its binding site in the core 2 subunit.

Fig. 4. Structural comparison of the ISP in P6[5]22 and P6[5] crystal forms of bovine cytochrome bc[1]. Stereoview of the superimposed ISP functional domains at "c[1]" (red) and "Int" (blue) positional states using the base folds. The cluster-binding folds are shown in saturated^ colors, whereas the base folds are shown in pale colors. These^ structures are related by a hinge motion and the isomerization of Pro175 near the [2Fe-2S] center.
