Ultrastructural localization of succinate dehydrogenase, employed as a marker of the electron transfer chain, was studied in mouse liver mitochondria either in orthodox or condensed conformation. Activity of succinate dehydrogenase in the orthodox form mitochondria was localized primarily on the cristal membrane facing the matrix. A prolonged incubation time resulted in reaction product filling the intracristal space, whereas a short incubation time resulted also in a product which appeared mainly at opposite points on both sides of the crista. No such arrangement of the reaction product was noted in mitochondria in the condensed conformation. These findings, supported by studies of serial sections, suggest that the reaction product in orthodox form mitochondria appears in bands or coils surrounding the whole cristal membrane.

Bismuth (Bi) stains nucleoproteins (NPs) by interacting with available amino and primary phosphate groups. These two staining mechanisms are distinguishable by glutaraldehyde crosslinking (Fig. 1,2).Isolated mouse liver nuclei, extracted with salt and acid solutions, fixed in either formaldehyde (form.) or gl utaraldehyde (glut.) and stained with Bi, were viewed to determine the effect of the extractions on Bi stainina. Solubilized NPs were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Extraction with 0.14 M salt does not change the Bi staining characteristics (Fig. 3). 0.34 M salt reduces nucleolar (Nu) staining but has no effect on interchromatinic (IC) staining (Fig. 4). Proteins responsible for Nu and glut.- insensitive IC staining are removed when nuclei are extracted with 0.6 M salt (Fig. 5, 6). Low salt and acid extraction prevents Bi-Nu staining but has no effect on IC staining (Fig. 7). When nuclei are extracted with 0.6 M salt followed by low salt and acid, all Bi-staining components are removed (Fig. 8).
