ABSTRACT
Respiratory complex I is a central metabolic enzyme coupling NADH oxidation and quinone reduction with proton translocation. Despite the knowledge of the structure of the complex, the coupling of both processes is not entirely understood. Here, we use a combination of site-directed mutagenesis, biochemical assays, and redox-induced FTIR spectroscopy to demonstrate that the quinone chemistry includes the protonation and deprotonation of a specific, conserved aspartic acid residue in the quinone binding site (D325 on subunit NuoCD in Escherichia coli). Our experimental data support a proposal derived from theoretical considerations that deprotonation of this residue is involved in triggering proton translocation in respiratory complex I.
