The requirement of the electron transport chain for phospholipids, previously shown for beef heart mitochondria, has been confirmed for rat liver mitochondria. The succinatecytochrome c reductase activity of mitochondria whose lipids had been extracted with acetone has been restored by incubating wi

โฆ Synopsis
The effect of a number of salts on the activity of the particulate NADH-cytochrome c-reductase of Rhodospirillum rubrum was investigated. The enzyme was shown to be inhibited by the presence of these salts. With monovalent anions a relationship between the size of the anion and its capacity of inhibition is observed. Di-and trivalent anions inhibit more than do monovalent anions. Di-and trivalent cations cause very strong inhibition of the enzymatic activity. With all ions a relationship of the competitive type exists between cytoehrome c and the ion tested.
Results identical to those described are obtained when the oxidation of sueeinate is measured with cytochrome c as the electron acceptor.
With these inibition experiments it was shown that a complex between mammalian cytoehrome e and the phospholipids of the electron transport particles of

Genes coding for the 40 kilodaltons (kDa), 17-kDa, 14-kDa and 11-kDa subunits of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase in yeast are present in single copies in the haploid genome. We have mapped each gene to a unique genomic environment and demonstrate that integration of cloned segments into nuclear
