Quinol oxidation at center P of the cytochrome bc(1) complex involves bifurcated electron transfer to the Rieske iron-sulfur protein and cytochrome b. It is unknown whether both electrons are transferred from the same domain close to the Rieske protein, or if an unstable semiquinone anion intermediate diffuses rapidly to the vicinity of the b(L) heme. We have determined the pre-steady state rate and activation energy (E(a)) for quinol oxidation in purified yeast bc(1) complexes harboring either a Y185F mutation in the Rieske protein, which decreases the redox potential of the FeS cluster, or a E272Q cytochrome b mutation, which eliminates the proton acceptor in cytochrome b. The rate of the bifurcated reaction in the E272Q mutant (<10% of the wild type) was even lower than that of the Y185F enzyme ( approximately 20% of the wild type). However, the E272Q enzyme showed the same E(a) (61 kJ mol(-1)) with respect to the wild type (62 kJ mol(-1)), in contrast with the Y185F mutation, which increased E(a) to 73 kJ mol(-1). The rate and E(a) of the slow reaction of quinol with oxygen that are observed after cytochrome b is reduced were unaffected by the E272Q substitution, whereas the Y185F mutation modified only its rate. The Y185F/E272Q double mutation resulted in a synergistic decrease in the rate of quinol oxidation (0.7% of the wild type). These results are inconsistent with a sequential "movable semiquinone" mechanism but are consistent with a model in which both electrons are transferred simultaneously from the same domain in center P.
