Abstract

A 5-aminolevulinic acid-requiring mutant of Bacillus subtilis was isolated. When the mutant is shifted from medium containing 5-aminolevulinic acid to medium lacking this growth factor, the bacteria continued to grow at undiminished rate for about three generations. The membranes from these bacteria contained severely reduced amounts of cytochrome. The mutant was used to study the role of heme synthesis on synthesis and membrane binding of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH). The amount of SDH in whole-cell lysates in the soluble cytoplasmic fraction and in membranes was determined by one-dimensional (rocket) immunoelectrophoresis with an SDH-specific antiserum. After heme synthesis was blocked, the relative amount of SDH in the membrane decreased, whereas increasing amounts of SDH antigen were found in the cytoplasm. When heme synthesis was resumed on readdition of 5-aminolevulinic acid, the amount of membrane-bound SDH antigen increased at a much faster rate than net synthesis. During a 3-h growth period without 5-aminolevulinic acid, there was little change in the pattern of membrane proteins as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of radioactively labeled membranes, as compared to membranes from control cultures. However, both the 65,000-dalton and the 28,000-dalton polypeptides of the SDH complex (L. Hederstedt, E. Holmgren, and L. Rutberg, J. Bacteriol. 138: 370–376, 1979) were present in decreasing amounts in membranes from 5-aminolevulinic acid-starved bacteria. From these results we suggest that SDH in B. subtilis is synthesized as a soluble protein and becomes membrane bound only when it attaches to a site in the membrane, (part of) which is a cytochrome of b type.
