chemical nature of the latteris available at present. Moreover, caution must be taken when comparing molecular weights determined by gel electrophoretic methods since the results vary according to the composition of the gel used and from one laboratory to another or even according to the person performing the experiment(10). Even if the polypeptides are distinct from each other, they should be constituents of the cytochrome bcl complex. QP-C is thought to bind with ubiquinone near thebenzoquinone ring to stabilize the semiquinone,whereasthe reactive groups of photolabeling compounds are situatedat the endof the side chain. The nature of ubiquinone binding with QP-C is uncertain, Because QP-C binds with the very hydrophobic ubiquinone, this binding maypossiblyoccur through the hydrophobic interaction indicated by spin immobilization (11). However, hydrophilic as shown by the present study, QP-Ca relatively is protein and the hydrophobic amino acidresidues arenot situated very close together. Only two segments, the N-terminal region and that near residue 20, are relatively hydrophobic. The possibility cannot be excluded that other areas also contribute to bindingwith ubiquinone by specific folding that generatesa hydrophobic patch. The secondary structure of QP-C was predicted by the method of Chou and Fasman (12) witha computer program. Fig. 2 shows the predicted location of the a-helix, @-sheet, @-turn conformation, and amino acid residues on helical wheels. The helical content was estimated to be about50% and that of P-sheet less than 10%.Thus, this proteinmay be classified as an all-a ora + p protein (13). As evident from the figure, charged amino acid residues are located on one side of the first,second, and fourth predicted helices and hydrophobic residues on the othersides. This may enable the formation of a specific region for interaction with hydrophobic cofactors such as coenzyme Q.Of course, these predictions are based on a method established by reference to soluble proteins and are not conclusive; but

they may facilitate an understanding of the structure of QPC. The amino acidsequence of QP-C was found to contain21 acidic residues (8 Asp and 13 Glu) and 25 basic residues (11 Lys, 1 His, and13 Arg). The isoelectric point of QP-C is then about 10, although it has been reported to be 3.6 (9). The reason for this discrepancy may be due possibly to the fact that the isoelectric point was determined for QP-C micelles with a weakly acidic detergent or that isolated QP-C may aggregate or form a complex with highly anionic compounds. As a whole, QP-Ccan be divided intothree regions: a relatively hydrophobic and basic N-terminal region (1-33), a middle region rich in aspartic acid (34-76), and a glutamic acid and lysine-rich C-terminal region (77-110). The C-terminal region has a particularly high content of hydrophilic amino acids and the charged amino acids are aligned in a row. This region may play an important role in the interaction with other proteins. The second ubiquinone-binding protein, QP-S,was isolated and some of its characteristics were determined (6, 14). Its amino acid composition is shown in TableI and suggests that these two ubiquinone-binding proteins are distinctmolecules. A structural analysis of QP-S is being carried out a t our laboratory and a comparison of these structures should provide important information on the binding of ubiquinone. In the bovine heart mitochondrial electron transfer chain, only two of the polypeptides so far sequenced have acetylated N termini, ie. subunit VI1 of cytochrome c oxidase (16, 17) and cytochromec (18,19). QP-C is thusa third example. The C-terminal residue of QP-C is lysine and it should be noted that some other components of the mitochondrial electron transfer chain possess the same residue: cytochrome c1 and two other small polypeptides in the cytochrome bcl complex (20-23) and subunits IV and VIIIa of cytochrome c oxidase (24, 25).
