Complex II-linked substrate state

Description

CII-linked; SRot: Succinate (S) supports electron flux through Complex II via flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) into the membrane-bound electron transfer system. Inhibition of Complex I by rotenone (Rot; or amytal, piericidine) prevents accumulation of oxaloacetate which is a potent inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase. After inhibition of CI by rotenone, the NADH-linked dehydrogenases become inhibited by the redox shift from NAD⁺ to NADH. Succinate dehydrogenase is activated by succinate and ATP, which explains in part the time-dependent increase of respiration in isolated mitochondria after addition of rotenone (first), succinate and ADP.

The Complex II-linked substrate state is induced in mt-preparations by addition of succinate&rotenone (Complex I inhibitor). Succinate is the direct substrate of Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase). In CII-linked respiration, only Complex III and Complex IV are involved in pumping protons from the matrix (P-phase) to the N-phase with a ~P/O ratio of 1.75 (P/O₂ = 3.5).
