Two ambiguities or misconceptions around respiratory Complex II (CII) have their roots in the narrative that reduced coenzymes (NADH and FADH<sub>2</sub>) feed electrons from the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle into the mitochondrial electron transfer system. In graphical representations propagating the first ambiguity, succinate dehydrogenase or CII in the canonical (forward) TCA cycle is shown to reduce FAD to FADH<sub>2</sub> (correct), yet CII in the membrane-bound electron transfer system (ETS) is paradoxically represented as the site of oxidation of FADH<sub>2</sub> to FAD. With minor expansion of the tale on electron transfer from FADH<sub>2</sub> into CII, we arrive at the misconception that FADH<sub>2</sub> generated by electron transferring flavoprotein (CETF) in fatty acid oxidation and by mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (CGpDH) feeds electrons into the ETS through CII. For clarification, recall that NADH and succinate formed in the TCA cycle in the mitochondrial matrix are the upstream substrates of Complexes CI and CII, whereas the reduced flavin groups FMNH<sub>2</sub> of flavin mononucleotide and FADH<sub>2</sub> of flavin adenine dinucleotide are products of CI and CII, respectively, with downstream electron flow from CI and CII into the [[Q-junction]]. CETF and CGpDH feed electrons into the Q-junction convergent with  but not through CII into the Q-junction. Numerous Complex II ambiguities in the literature with discrepancies in graphical representations and text require quality control to secure scientific standards in current communications on bioenergetics.
The current narrative that the reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2 feed electrons from the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle into the mitochondrial electron transfer system can create ambiguities around respiratory Complex CII. Succinate dehydrogenase or CII reduces FAD to FADH2 in the canonical forward TCA cycle. However, some graphical representations of the membrane-bound electron transfer system (ETS) depict CII as the site of oxidation of FADH2. This leads to the false believe that FADH2 generated by electron transferring flavoprotein (CETF) in fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (CGpDH) feeds electrons into the ETS through CII. In reality, NADH and succinate produced in the TCA cycle are the substrates of Complexes CI and CII, respectively, and the reduced flavin groups FMNH2 and FADH2 are downstream products of CI and CII, respectively, carrying electrons from CI and CII into the Q-junction. Similarly, CETF and CGpDH feed electrons into the Q-junction but not through CII. The ambiguities surrounding Complex II in the literature call for quality control, to secure scientific standards in current communications on bioenergetics and support adequate clinical applications. - naiger E (2023) Complex II ambiguities ― FADH<sub>2</sub> in the electron transfer system.

:::: Respiratory Complex CII participates both in the membrane-bound electron transfer system (membrane-ETS) and TCA cycle (matrix-ETS plus CII; [[BEC_2020.1_doi10.26124bec2020-0001.v1 |Gnaiger et al 2020]]). Branches of electron transfer from the reduced coenzyme NADH of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide N and succinate S converge at the Q-junction in the ETS ('''Figure ;a''' modified from [[Gnaiger_2020_BEC_MitoPathways |Gnaiger 2020]]).
:::: The reduced flavin groups FADH<sub>2</sub> of flavin adenine dinucleotide and FMNH<sub>2</sub> of flavin mononucleotide are at functionally comparable levels in the electron transfer to Q from CII and CI, respectively, just as succinate and NADH are the comparable reduced substrates of CII and CI, respectively ([[Gnaiger_2020_BEC_MitoPathways |Gnaiger 2020]]). In CII the oxidized form FAD is reduced by succinate to the product FADH<sub>2</sub> and the oxidized product fumarate in the TCA cycle. In CI FMN is reduced by NADH forming FMNH<sub>2</sub> and the oxidized NAD<sup>+</sup>. FADH<sub>2</sub> and FMNH<sub>2</sub> are reoxidized downstream in CII and CI by electron transfer to Q in the membrane-bound ETS ('''Figure b''').

=== The source and consequence of Complex II ambiguities ===
:::: Ambiguities emerge if the presentation of a concept is vague to an extent that allows for equivocal interpretations. As a consequence of ambiguous representations, even a basically clear and quite simple concept may be communicated further without appropriate reflection as an erroneous divergence from an established truth. The following quotes from Cooper (2000) provide an example.
:::::: [[File:Cooper 2000 Sunderland 10-9.png|700px]]
:::: Ref. [4]  Cooper GM (2000) The cell: a molecular approach. 2nd edition. Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9885/  - [[Cooper 2000 Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates |»Bioblast link«]]
:::: (''1'') 'Electrons from NADH enter the electron transport chain in complex I, .. A distinct protein complex (complex II), which consists of four polypeptides, receives electrons from the citric acid cycle intermediate, succinate (Figure 10.9). These electrons are transferred to FADH<sub>2</sub>, rather than to NADH, and then to coenzyme Q.'
:::::: ''Comment'': Here, the frequent comparison is made between FADH<sub>2</sub> (linked to CII) and NADH (linked to CI).
:::: (''2'') 'In contrast to the transfer of electrons from NADH to coenzyme Q at complex I, the transfer of electrons from FADH<sub>2</sub> to coenzyme Q is not associated with a significant decrease in free energy and, therefore, is not coupled to ATP synthesis.'
:::::: ''Comment'': Note that CI is '''''in''''' the path of the transfer of electrons from NADH to coenzyme Q. In contrast, the transfer of electrons from FADH<sub>2</sub> to coenzyme Q is '''''downstream''''' of CII. Thus even a large Gibbs force ('decrease in free energy') in FADH<sub>2</sub>→Q would fail to drive the coupled process of proton translocation through CII, since the Gibbs force in S→FADH<sub>2</sub> is missing. (In parentheses: None of these steps are coupled to ATP synthesis. Redox-driven proton translocation should not be confused with ''pmF''-driven phosphorylation of ADP).
:::: (''3'') 'Electrons from succinate enter the electron transport chain via FADH<sub>2</sub> in complex II. They are then transferred to coenzyme Q and carried through the rest of the electron transport chain ..'
:::: ''Comment'': The ambiguity is caused by a lack of unequivocal definition of the electron transfer system ('electron transport chain'). CII receives electrons (''1'') from succinate, yet it is suggested that electrons (from succinate) enter the electron transport chain (''3'') via FADH<sub>2</sub> in complex II. Then two contrasting definitions are implied of the term 'electron transport chain' or better membrane-bound electron transfer system, membrane-ETS. (''a'') If CII is part of the membrane-ETS, then electrons enter the membrane-ETS from succinate (''1'') but not from FADH<sub>2</sub>. (''b'') If electrons enter the 'electron transport chain' via FADH<sub>2</sub> in Complex II (''3''), then CII would be upstream and hence not part of the membrane-ETS (to which conclusion, obviously - see '''Figure''' - nobody would agree). Dismissing concept (''b'') of the membrane-ETS, then remains the ambiguity, if electrons enter the membrane-ETS from FADH<sub>2</sub> (''3'', wrong) or from succinate (''1'', correct).
=== FADH<sub>2</sub> - FAD confusion in the S-pathway ===
:::: FADH<sub>2</sub> appears in several publications as the substrate of CII in the electron transfer system linked to succinate oxidation. It is surprising that this error is widely propagated particularly in the most recent literature. For clarification, see [[Gnaiger_2020_BEC_MitoPathways |Gnaiger (2020) page 48]].
:::: The following examples are listed chronologically and illustrate
::::'''(1)''' '''ambiguities''' in graphical representations: '''FADH<sub>2</sub> is the product and substrate of CII''' in the same figure, e.g. DeBerardinis, Chandel (2016);
::::'''(2)''' '''evolving errors''' in graphical representations: e.g. from Figure 6 (ambiguity) to Figure 1 (error) in Chandel (2021);
::::'''(3)''' ambiguities with '''discrepancies between graphical representation and text''': e.g. Figure 1 (error) and text in Fisher-Wellman, Neufer (2012) - 'Reducing equivalents (NADH, FADH<sub>2</sub>) provide electrons that flow through complex I, the ubiquinone cycle (Q/QH<sub>2</sub>), complex III, cytochrome ''c'', complex IV, and to the final acceptor O<sub>2</sub> to form water' (correct);
::::'''(4)''' simple '''graphical errors''': e.g. Brownlee (2001), Yépez et al (2018), Chen et al (2022); to
::::'''(5)''' propagation of the '''error in the graphical representation solidified by text''': e.g. Arnold, Finley (2022) with the following quotes:
::::::* 'SDH reduces FAD to FADH<sub>2</sub>, which donates its electrons to complex II';
::::::* 'each complete turn of the TCA cycle generates three NADH and one FADH<sub>2</sub> molecules, which donate their electrons to complex I and complex II, respectively';
::::::* 'complex I and complex II oxidize NADH and FADH<sub>2</sub>, respectively'.

Complex II ambiguities

Description

CII-ambiguities Graphical abstract.png

The current narrative that the reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2 feed electrons from the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle into the mitochondrial electron transfer system can create ambiguities around respiratory Complex CII. Succinate dehydrogenase or CII reduces FAD to FADH2 in the canonical forward TCA cycle. However, some graphical representations of the membrane-bound electron transfer system (ETS) depict CII as the site of oxidation of FADH2. This leads to the false believe that FADH2 generated by electron transferring flavoprotein (CETF) in fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (CGpDH) feeds electrons into the ETS through CII. In reality, NADH and succinate produced in the TCA cycle are the substrates of Complexes CI and CII, respectively, and the reduced flavin groups FMNH2 and FADH2 are downstream products of CI and CII, respectively, carrying electrons from CI and CII into the Q-junction. Similarly, CETF and CGpDH feed electrons into the Q-junction but not through CII. The ambiguities surrounding Complex II in the literature call for quality control, to secure scientific standards in current communications on bioenergetics and support adequate clinical applications. - naiger E (2023) Complex II ambiguities ― FADH2 in the electron transfer system.
