Iron-sulfur protein (IP) subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) that is involved in complex II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and is responsible for transferring electrons from succinate to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q).
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a 2 iron, 2 sulfur (2Fe-2S) cluster; this cluster consists of two iron atoms, with two inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a 3 iron, 4 sulfur (3Fe-4S) cluster; this cluster consists of three iron atoms, with the inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands. It is essentially a 4Fe-4S cluster with one iron missing.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a 4 iron, 4 sulfur (4Fe-4S) cluster; this cluster consists of four iron atoms, with the inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).

Frataxin deficiency is the main cause of Friedreich ataxia, an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. Frataxin function in mitochondria has not been fully explained yet. In this work, we show that Saccharomyces cerevisiae frataxin orthologue Yfh1p interacts physically with succinate dehydrogenase complex subunits Sdh1p and Sdh2p of the yeast mitochondrial electron transport chain and also with electron transfer flavoprotein complex ETFalpha and ETFbeta subunits from the electron transfer flavoprotein complex. Genetic synthetic interaction experiments confirmed a functional relationship between YFH1 and succinate dehydrogenase genes SDH1 and SDH2. We also demonstrate a physical interaction between human frataxin and human succinate dehydrogenase complex subunits, suggesting also a key role of frataxin in the mitochondrial electron transport chain in humans. Consequently, we suggest a direct participation of the respiratory chain in the pathogenesis of the Friedreich ataxia, which we propose to be considered as an OXPHOS disease.

Two-dimensional blue native/SDS-PAGE is widely applied to investigate native protein-protein interactions, particularly those within membrane multi-protein complexes. MS has enabled the application of this approach at the proteome scale, typically by analysis of picked protein spots. Here, we investigated the potential of using LC-MS/MS as an alternative for SDS-PAGE in blue native (BN) analysis of protein complexes. By subjecting equal slices from BN gel lanes to label-free semi-quantitative LC-MS/MS, we determined an abundance profile for each protein across the BN gel, and used these profiles to identify potentially interacting proteins by protein correlation profiling. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by considering the oxidative phosphorylation complexes I-V in the native human embryonic kidney 293 mitochondrial fraction, showing that the method is capable of detecting both the fully assembled complexes as well as assembly/turnover intermediates of complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Using protein correlation profiling with a profile for subunits NDUFS2, 3, 7 and 8 we identified multiple proteins possibly involved in the biogenesis of complex I, including the recently implicated chaperone C6ORF66 and a novel candidate, C3ORF60.
Complex II (succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is an important enzyme complex of both the tricarboxylic acid cycle and of the aerobic respiratory chains of mitochondria in eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic organisms. In this study, the amino acid sequence of iron sulfur-subunit in human liver mitochondria was deduced from cDNA which was isolated by immunoscreening a human liver lambda gtll cDNA library. An isolated clone contains an open reading frame of 786 nucleotides and encodes a mature protein of 252 amino acids with a molecular weight of 28,804. The amino acid sequence was highly homologous with that of bovine heart (94.1%) which has been determined from the purified peptide and that of Escherichia coli sdh B product (50.8%). Striking sequence conservation was found around the three cysteine-rich clusters which have been thought to comprise the iron-sulfur centers of the enzyme. This is the first report on the cDNA sequence of mitochondrial complex II.
The chemical reactions and pathways involving succinate, also known as butanedioate or ethane dicarboxylate, the dianion of succinic acid. Succinate is an important intermediate in metabolism and a component of the TCA cycle.
A nearly universal metabolic pathway in which the acetyl group of acetyl coenzyme A is effectively oxidized to two CO2 and four pairs of electrons are transferred to coenzymes. The acetyl group combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which undergoes successive transformations to isocitrate, 2-oxoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate, and oxaloacetate again, thus completing the cycle. In eukaryotes the tricarboxylic acid is confined to the mitochondria. See also glyoxylate cycle.

Enzymatic activity
This protein acts as an enzyme. It is known to catalyze the following reaction
Protein involved in the transport of electrons, a process by which electrons are transported through a series of reactions from the reductant, or electron donor, to the oxidant, or electron acceptor, with concomitant energy conversion. Necessary for both photosynthesis and aerobic respiration.
Protein involved in the transport of a molecule (metabolite, protein, etc), a ion or an electron across cell membranes, inside the cell or in a tissue fluid.
Protein involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, a series of metabolic reactions in aerobic cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria of animals and plants and in which acetyl-CoA, formed from pyruvate produced during glycolysis, is completely oxidized to CO2 via the interconversion of various carboxylic acids. It results in the reduction of NAD and FAD to NADH and FADH2, whose reducing power is then used indirectly in the synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. The TCA cycle also provides intermediates for many other biosynthetic processes.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.
