The mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes are large multisubunit complexes embedded in the inner membrane. We report here that in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the cytochrome be, and cytochrome c oxidase complexes co-exist as a larger complex of similar to 1000 kDa in the mitochondrial membrane. Following solubilization with a mild detergent, the cytochrome bc(1)-cytochrome c oxidase complex remains stable. It was analyzed using the techniques of gel filtration and blue native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Direct physical. association of subunits of the cytochrome be, complex with those of the cytochrome c oxidase complex was verified by co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Our data indicate that the cytochrome be, complex is exclusively in association with the cytochrome c oxidase complex in yeast mitochondria. We term this complex the cytochrome bc(1)-cytochrome c oxidase supracomplex.
