The electron-transferring flavoprotein (ETF) has been detected in two large soluble-protein complexes partially purified from sonicated porcine liver mitochondria. Size-exclusion chromatography and sucrose-density ultracentrifugation suggested molecular masses in the region of 390 to 420 kDa for the two complexes. Activities of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, sarcosine dehydrogenase and ETF:ubiquinone oxidoreductase were also detected. No evidence of oxidative-phosphorylation properties was obtained. Treatment with antimycin A inhibited the activity of both complexes. Pyridine haemochromogens, prepared from the partially purified species, show the presence of cytochrome proteins. The possible composition of these complexes and their relationship to the electron transport chain are discussed.

Microelectrospray ionization-mass spectrometry was used to directly observe electron transferring flavoprotein.flavoprotein dehydrogenase interactions. When electron transferring flavoprotein and porcine dimethylglycine dehydrogenase or sarcosine dehydrogenase were incubated together in the absence of substrate, a relative molecular mass corresponding to the flavoprotein.electron transferring flavoprotein complex was observed, providing the first direct observation of these mammalian complexes. When an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member, human short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, was incubated with dimethylglycine dehydrogenase and electron transferring flavoprotein, the microelectrospray ionization-mass spectrometry signal for the dimethylglycine dehydrogenase.electron transferring flavoprotein complex decreased, indicating that the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases have the ability to compete with the dimethylglycine dehydrogenase/sarcosine dehydrogenase family for access to electron transferring flavoprotein. Surface plasmon resonance solution competition experiments revealed affinity constants of 2.0 and 5.0 microm for the dimethylglycine dehydrogenase-electron transferring flavoprotein and short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase-electron transferring flavoprotein interactions, respectively, suggesting the same or closely overlapping binding motif(s) on electron transferring flavoprotein for dehydrogenase interaction.
