The cytochrome bc1 complex has been isolated from rat-liver mitochondria by two different procedures. The enzyme isolated by either procedure exhibits a specific cytochrome b and cytochrome c1 heme content of approximately 8 and 4 nmol/mg protein respectively. Both preparations contain only seven polypeptides on sodium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis, with the following apparent molecular weights: I, 50000; II, 46000; III, 33000; IV, 25000; V, 12500; VI, 10000; VII, 5600. The polypeptide composition is identical to that of the beef-heart enzyme isolated by cholate/ammonium sulfate fractionation. Furthermore, with the exception of subunit II (core protein 2), the apparent molecular weights of the subunits are identical in the rat-liver and beef-heart enzymes.
