Potentiometric measurements have been performed on Complex III from bakers' yeast. The midpoint potentials for the b and c cytochromes were measured using room-temperature MCD and liquid-helium temperature EPR. A value of 270 mV was obtained for cytochrome c1, regardless of temperature, while the midpoint potentials found for the two species of cytochrome b varied with temperatures, viz., 62 and -20 mV at room temperature (MCD) compared to 116 and -4 mV at about 10 K (EPR). The midpoint potential of the iron-sulfur center obtained by low-temperature EPR was 286 mV. An abrupt conformational change occurred immediately after this center was fully reduced resulting in a change in EPR line shape. The potentials of the two half-reactions of ubiquinone were measured by following the semiquinone radical signal at 110 K and 23 degrees C. Potentials of 176 and 51 mV were found at low temperature, while values of 200 and 110 mV were observed at room temperature. The midpoint potential of cytochrome c1 was found to be pH independent. The potentials of cytochrome b were also independent of pH when titrations were performed in deoxycholate buffers, while a variation of -30 mV per pH unit was observed for both cytochrome c species in taurocholate buffers. These two detergents also produced different MCD contributions of the two b cytochromes. A decrease in Em of greater than 300 mV was found in potentiometric measurements of cytochrome c1 at high ratios of dye to Complex III. Antimycin does not affect the redox potentials of cytochrome c1 but appears to induce a transition of the low-potential b heme to a high-potential species. This transition is mediated by ubiquinone.
