1. Membrane particles prepared from ultrasonically-disrupted, aerobically-grown Escherichia coli were centrifuged on to a plastic film that was supported perpendicular to the centrifugal field to yield oriented membrane multilayers. In such preparations, there is a high degree of orientation of the planes of the membranes such that they lie parallel to each other and to the supporting film. 2. When dithionite- or succinate-reduced multilayers are rotated in the magnetic field of an e.p.r. spectrometer, about an axis lying in the membrane plane, angular-dependent signals from an iron-sulphur cluster at g(x)=1.92, g(y)=1.93 and g(z)=2.02 are seen. The g=1.93 signal has maximal amplitude when the plane of the multilayer is perpendicular to the magnetic field. Conversely, the g=2.02 signal is maximal when the plane of the multilayer is parallel with the magnetic field. 3. Computer simulations of the experimental data show that the cluster lies in the cytoplasmic membrane with the g(y) axis perpendicular to the membrane plane and with the g(x) and g(z) axes lying in the membrane plane. 4. In partially-oxidized multilayers, a signal resembling the mitochondrial high-potential iron-sulphur protein (Hipip) is seen whose g(z)=2.02 axis may be deduced as lying perpendicular to the membrane plane. 5. Appropriate choice of sample temperature and receiver gain reveals two further signals in partially-reduced multilayers: a g=2.09 signal arises from a cluster with its g(z) axis in the membrane plane, whereas a g=2.04 signal is from a cluster with the g(z) axis lying along the membrane normal. 6. Membrane particles from a glucose-grown, haem-deficient mutant contain dramatically-lowered levels of cytochromes and exhibit, in addition to the iron-sulphur clusters seen in the parental strain, a major signal at g=1.90. 7. Only the latter may be demonstrated to be oriented in multilayer preparations from the mutant. 8. Comparisons are drawn between the orientations of the iron-sulphur proteins in the cytoplasmic membrane of E. coli and those in mitochondrial membranes. The effects of diminished cytochrome content on the properties of the iron-sulphur proteins are discussed.
