The purified respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli oxidizes NADH with either dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP). ferricyanide, or menadione as electron acceptors, with values for NADH are similar with the three electron acceptors (approximately 50 muM). The purified enzyme contains no flavin and has an absolute requirement for FAD, with Km values around 4 muM. The pH optimum of the enzyme appears to be between 6.5 and 7; the optimum is difficult to establish because of nonenzymatic reduction of DCIP at the lower pH values. Potassium cyanide stimulates the DCIP reductase activity about 2-fold, but has no effect on ferricyanide reductase. The enzyme exhibits hyperbolic kinetics with respect to NADH concentration in both the ferricyanide and DCIP reductase assays, but cooperatively is seen in the menadione reductase reaction. NAD+ is an effective competitive inhibitor of the reaction (Ki congruent to 20 muM); in the presence of NAD+, the NADH saturation curve becomes cooperative, even in the DCIP reductase assay. Many adenine containing nucleotides are competitive inhibitors of the enzyme. The apparent Ki values for these nucleotides as inhibitors of the purified enzyme, the membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase, and the NADH oxidase are equivalent. An examination of inhibitory effects of a series of adenine nucleotides suggests that the inhibitors act as analogues of NAD+, which is the true physiological inhibitor. The results suggest that the enzyme in situ is always partially inhibited by the levels of NAD- in the E coli cell, and thus behaves in a cooperative fashion to changes in the NAD+/NADH ratio. An antibody has been elicited against the purified NADH dehydrogenase. Immunodiffusion and crossed immunoelectrophoresis show that the antibody is directed principally against the NADH dehydrogenase, with some activity against minor contaminants in the purified preparation. The antibody inhibits NADH dehydrogenase activity 50% at saturating levels. When this antibody preparation is used to examine solubilized membrane preparations, two major immunoprecipitates are found. A parallel inhibition of the membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase and NADH oxidase activities is seen, supporting the hypothesis that the purified enzyme is indeed a component of the respiratory chain-dependent NADH oxidase pathway.

(1) Studies of the steady-state kinetics of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of Complex I (NADH: Q oxidoreductase) revealed that the reaction mechanism with the one-electron acceptor ferricyanide or the two-electron acceptor 2,6-dichloro-indophenol is ping pong bi bi, with double substrate inhibition. NADH inhibits the reaction of the reduced form of the flavoprotein with the acceptors, and the acceptors prevent NADH from reacting with the oxidized form. This implies that both NADH and acceptors react with the same site on NADH dehydrogenase. (2) The velocity at infinite NADH and acceptor concentrations (corrected for the double substrate inhibition) is much larger with ferricyanide than with the indophenol. It is concluded that the latter binds to the reduced enzyme. Thus, with ferricyanide the rate constant measured refers to the dissociation of bound NAD+ from the reduced enzyme (k2) and with the indophenol to the rate constant of oxidation of reduced enzyme by bound acceptor (k4). The latter value is not an estimate for the situation in vivo, where ubiquinone is the acceptor. (3) The rate constant of the dissociation of bound NAD+ from the reduced enzyme (k2) increases with pH. It is suggested that an ionizing group on the enzyme is involved in the dissociation. (4) After extraction of ubiquinone from Complex I with pentane curve relating activity at infinite ferricyanide concentration to NADH concentration changes from hyperbolic to sigmoidal. The hyperbolic curve is restored by reincorporating ubiquinone. It is concluded that ubiquinone is an effector for NADH dehydrogenase.

(1) The steady-state kinetics of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of Type-II (low molecular weight) NADH dehydrogenase with the acceptors ferricyanide, cytochrome c and 2,6-dichloroindophenol are consistent with the simultaneous operation of an ordered and a ping-pong mechanism. Thus, depending on the acceptor concentration, the reduced enzyme is preferentially oxidized before or after NAD+ disociates from it. (2) The acceptors are able to oxidize the reduced enzyme and its NAD+ complex equally well. In contrast to the kinetics of the Type-I (high molecular weight) enzyme, double substrate inhibition is not found, implying that the site of oxidation of the reduced enzyme by acceptors and the NADH-binding site are remote. (3) With the indophenol, in the concentration range measured, the ordered mechanism is mainly operative. At infinite NADH and acceptor concentrations the rate constant of the reduction of enzyme by bound NADH is measured. (4) With ferricyanide and cytochrome c, in the concentration range measured, erroneous conclusions may be drawn from extrapolations owing to the fact that extrapolated lines in double-reciprocal plots of turnover number against acceptor concentration, at different NADH concentrations, intersect in the third quadrant. A method is described that allows the extrapolation of these data to zero acceptor concentrations. (5) The relation between activity and NADH concentration is sigmoidal (h = 2.0) with ferricyanide or cytochrome c as acceptor, but hyperbolic with 2,6-dichloroindophenol. The latter is also an inhibitor, competitive with respect to NADH. It is concluded that this two-electron acceptor, like ubiquinone, acts as an allosteric effector. (6) Type II is isolated from Type I without gross changes in tertiary structure, as judged by the unaltered rate constants of dissociation of NADH (k-1) and NAD+ (k4) and association of NADH (k1). (7) Type II differs from Type I in two respects, (a) The accessibility of the acceptors is greater by at least two orders of magnitude (k3). (b) The redox potential of the prosthetic group FMN is 120 mV less, as judged by a drop in the value of k2 by four orders of magnitude. It is suggested that one or more of the iron-sulphur proteins present in Type-I but lacking in Type-II dehydrogenase functions as an effector, regulating the redox potential of the FMN.

NAD+ had a biphasic effect on the NADH oxidase activity in electron transport particles from Mycobacterium phlei. The oxidase was inhibited competitively by NAD+ at concentrations above 0.05 mM. NAD+ in concentrations from 0.02 to 0.05 mM resulted in maximum stimulation of both NADH oxidation and oxygen uptake with concentrations of substrate both above and below the apparent K-M. Oxygen uptake and cyanide sensitivity indicated that the NAD+ stimulatory effect was linked to the terminal respiratory chain. The stimulatory effect was specific for NAD+. NAD+ was also specific in protecting the oxidase during heating at 50 degrees and against inactivation during storage at 0 degrees. NAD+ glycohydrolase did not affect stimulation nor heat protection of the NADH oxidase activity if the particles were previously preincubated with NAD+. Binding studies revealed that the particles bound approximately 3.6 pmol of [14C1NAD+ per mg of electron transport particle protein. Although bound NAD+ represented only a small fraction of the total added NAD+ necessary for maximal stimulation, removal of the apparently unbound NAD+ by Sephadex chromatography revealed that particles retained the stimulated state for at least 48 hours. Further addition of NAD+ to stimulated washed particles resulted in competitive inhibition of oxidase activity. Desensitization of the oxidase to the stimulatory effect of NAD+ was achieved by heating the particles at 50 degrees for 2 min without appreciable loss of enzymatic activity. Kinetic studies indicated that addition of NADH to electron transport particles prior to preincubation with NAD+ inhibited stimulation. In addition, NADH inhibited binding of [14C]NAD+. The utilization of artificial electron acceptors, which act as a shunt of the respiratory chain at or near the flavoprotein component, indicated that NAD+ acts as at the level of the NADH dehydrogenase at a site other than the catalytic one resulting in a conformational change which causes restoration as well as protection of oxidase activity.

The actions of Dexon on the NADH-ferricyanide oxidoreductase and the NADPH oxidase system of electron transfer particles (ETP) from beef heart as well as on the NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase from brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces carlsbergensis Hansen) were investigated. The inhibition of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of ETP and that of the yeast enzyme correspond with respect to the following characteristics: 1) increase in the inhibition, 2) enhancement of the Dexon sensitivity by one order of magnitude after preincubation in the presence of NAD(P)H, 3) irreversibility of the inhibition, 4) no detectable changes in the spectral properties and in coenzyme activity of FMN after acid extraction from Dexon-treated enzyme. The inhibition of the NADH dehydrogenase activity of ETP is diminished by both NAD+ and FMN. However, no interaction of Dexon with NAD(P)H or FMN could be detected in the absence of enzyme or apoenzyme. The concentration of half-inhibition by Dexon for the yeast enzyme corresponds with its FMN concentration. It is proposed that both apoenzyme, NAD(P)H and FMN are involved in the interaction with Dexon. Possible mechanisms of binding are both complanar complexations of the ring systems and a triazene formation between FMNH2 and Dexon. The NADPH oxidase activity of the ETP is partly inhibited; the share inhibited by Dexon may represent the pathway via the transhydrogenase reaction.

Cytophotometric measurements of the activities of 5 enzymes (succinate, malate, and NAD+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenases from the tricarboxylic cycle, lactate dehydrogenase from the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, and NADH dehydrogenase) were correlated with cell volume for neurones in the anterior horn of rabbit lumbar and cervical spinal cord. The data for succinate and isocitrate dehydrogenases indicated that these enzymes were at higher concentrations in the smaller neurones, which consist largely of interneurones. No preferential localization to particular sizes of cell could be assigned to the other enzymes studied. The relationship between enzyme distribution patterns and their possible role in contributing toward susceptibility to ischaemia of particular sizes of neurones is discussed.

In isolated plant mitochondria the oxidation of both succinate and exogenous NADH responded in the expected manner to the addition of ADP or uncoupling agents, and the uncoupled rate of respiration was often in excess of the rate obtained in the presence of ADP. However, the oxidation of NAD+-linked substrates responded in a much more complex manner to the addition of ADP or uncoupling agents such as carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone to mitochondria oxidizing pyruvate plus malate failed to result in a reliable stimulation; this uncoupled rate could be stimulated by adding AMP or ADP in the presence of oligomycin or bongkrekic acid. Spectrophometric measurements showed that the addition of AMP or ADP resulted in the simultaneous oxidation of endogenous nicotinamide nucleotide and the reduction of cytochrome b. ADP was only effective in bringing about these changes in redox state in the presence of Mg2+ whereas AMP did not require Mg2+. It was concluded that AMP activated the flow of electrons from endogenous nicotinamide nucleotide to cytochrome b, possible at the level of the internal NADH dehydrogenase.

Citrate is fermented by Klebsiella pneumoniae to 2 acetate, 0.5 formate and 1.2 CO2. The formation of less than 1 formate and greater than 1 CO2 per citrate can be accounted for by the oxidation of formate to CO2 in order to provide reducing equivalents for the assimilation of citrate into cell carbon. A membrane-bound electron transport chain is apparently involved in NADH synthesis by these cells. The electrons from formate oxidation to CO2 are used to reduce ubiquinone to ubiquinol by membrane-bound formate dehydrogenase and ubiquinol further delivers its electrons to NAD+, if this endergonic reaction is powered by delta mu Na+. The endogenous NADH level of K. pneumoniae cells thus increased in the presence of formate in response to a delta pNa+ greater than -100 mV. NADH formation was completely abolished in the presence of oxygen or after addition of hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide, a specific inhibitor of the Na(+)-translocating NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase. The increase of endogenous NADH was dependent on the delta pNa+ applied to the cells. Inverted membrane vesicles of K. pneumoniae catalysed the reduction of NAD+ to NADH with formate as electron donor after application of delta mu Na+ of about 120 mV consisting of delta pNa+ of 60 mV and delta psi of the same magnitude. Neither the delta pNa+ nor the delta psi of this size alone was sufficient to drive the endergonic reaction. Strictly anaerobic conditions were required for NADH formation and hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide completely inactivated the reaction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Slow active/inactive transition of the membrane-bound mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase (Kotlyar, A.B. and Vinogradov, A.D. (1990) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1019, 151-158) is sensitive to Ca2+ and other divalent cations. Millimolar concentrations of Ca2+ drastically reduce the rate of the turnover-dependent activation of NADH-ubiquinone reductase. When NADH oxidase, the rotenone-sensitive NADH-ubiquinone reductase or the succinate-supported delta mu H+-dependent NAD+ reduction were initiated by the deactivated enzyme preparations all the three activities were strongly inhibited by Ca2+; no sensitivity of these reactions to Ca2+ was observed when the assays were started by the activated enzyme preparations. The affinity of the deactivated enzyme to polyvalent cations was in the following order: Ni2+ greater than Co2+ greater than La3+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Ca2+ approximately Mg2+ greater than Ba2+. Monovalent metal cations had no effect on the slow turnover-dependent enzyme activation. The apparent affinity of the deactivated enzyme to Ca2+ was strongly pH-dependent. The KCa2+ values of 5.7 mM and 0.6 mM at pH 7.5 and 8.5 were determined from the presteady-state kinetics parameters. The spontaneous temperature-dependent deactivation of the enzyme was insensitive to Ca2+. Ca2+ increases the reactivity of the enzyme sulfhydryl group in the deactivated preparations towards N-ethylmaleimide. This effect was also used to quantitate Ca2+ affinity for the enzyme. The KCa2+ values of 1.2 mM and 0.4 mM at pH 8.0 and 9.0, respectively, were determined. The data obtained suggest that Ca2+ content in the mitochondrial matrix may play an important role in the control of NADH oxidation by the respiratory chain.

The kinetics of the NAD: artificial acceptor-oxidoreductase and delta mu H(+)-dependent succinate: NAD(+)-oxidoreductase reactions (reverse electron transfer) reactions catalyzed by the membrane-bound complex I was studied. The values of apparent rate constants of dissociation of complexes of the oxidized and reduced enzyme with NAD+ and NADH were determined. It was shown that the apparent affinity of NADH for the oxidized complex I is by nearly three orders of magnitude as high as that of the reduced one; a reverse correlation is found for NAD+. A kinetic scheme of complex I functioning in the forward and reverse reactions, according to which the free reduced enzyme is not an intermediate of the forward (NADH-oxidase) reaction and the free oxidized enzyme is not an intermediate of the reverse (NAD(+)-reductase) reaction, is proposed.
