Fumarate reductase of
Escherichia coli is converted to a deactivated state when tightly bound by oxaloacetate (OAA). Incubation of the inhibited enzyme with anions or reduction of the enzyme by substrate restores both the activity of the enzyme and its sensitivity to thiol reagents. In these respects the enzyme behaves like cardiac succinate dehydrogenase. Close to an order of magnitude difference was found to exist between the affinities of OAA for the oxidized (

), is the result of reduction of the covalently bound FAD moiety and not the non-heme iron clusters of the enzyme. However, the processes differed for the two enzymes; activation of fumarate reductase involved 2
