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.

An NADH dehydrogenase possessing a specific activity 3-5 times that of membrane-bound enzyme was obtained by extraction of Acholeplasma laidlawii membranes with 9.0% ethanol at 43 degrees C. This dehydrogenase contained only trace amounts of iron (suggesting an uncoupled respiration), a flavin ratio of 1:2 FAD to FMN and 30-40% lipid. Its resistance to sedimentation is probably due to the high flotation density of the lipids. It efficiently utilized ferricyanide, menadione and dichlorophenol indophenol as electron acceptors, but not O2, ubiquinone Q10 or cytochrome c. Lineweaver-Burk plots of the dehydrogenase were altered to linear functions upon extraction with 9.0% ethanol. A secondary site of ferricyanide reduction could not be explained by the presence of cytochromes, which these membranes lack. In comparison to other respiratory chain-linked NADH dehydrogenases in cytochrome-containing respiratory chains, this dehydrogenase was characterized by similar Km's with ferricyanide, dichlorophenol indophenol, menadione as electron acceptors, but considerably smaller V's with ferricyanide, dichlorophenol indophenol, menadione as electron acceptors, and smaller specific activities. It was not stimulated or reactivated by the addition of FAD, FMN, Mg2+, cysteine or membrane lipids, and was less sensitive to respiratory inhibitors than unextracted enzyme. The ineffectiveness of ADP stimulation on O2 uptake, the insensitivity to oligomycin and the very low iron content of A. laidlawii membranes were considered in relation to conservation of energy by these cells. Some kinetic properties of the dehydrogenation, the uniquely high glycolipid content and apparently uncoupled respiration at Site I were noteworthy characteristics of this NADH dehydrogenase from the truncated respiratory chain of A. laidlawii.

A simple purification for the membrane-associated, flavin-linked, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli has been developed which yields homogeneous enzyme in a detergent-solubilized state. 1. The dissociated form of the enzyme has a molecular weight of 58,000 and contains 0.5 mol of FAD/mol of protein monomer. 2. The solubilized enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a pH profile and temperature dependence similar to that observed for the membrane-bound enzyme. 3. The most efficient electron acceptor is potassium ferricyanide but phenazine methosulfate, methylene blue, menadione, and dichlorophenolindophenol can also be utilized. 4. The reaction is competitively inhibited by dihydroxyacetone phosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate, phosphoglycolic acid, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and D-2- and D-3-phosphoglyceric acid. 5. The activity of the enzyme is regulated in a complex manner by ATP and GTP. 6. Detergent-depleted enzyme can be functionally reconstituted with Escherichia coli membrane vesicles to support glycerol-3-phosphate-dependent active transport of L-proline. 7. Detergent-depleted enzyme requires exogenous phospholipid or nondenaturing detergent for electron transfer activity.

Fumarate reductase is a membrane-bound terminal oxidase which is induced when Escherichia coli is grown anaerobically. The purified enzyme is composed of two polypeptide chains of 69,000 and 24,000 daltons and contains 1 mol of covalently bound flavin adenine dinucleotide per mol of enzyme. Fluorescence scanning of SDS-polyacrylamide gels of the protein shows that the flavin is attached to the large subunit. The hypsochromic shift of the 372 nm band of riboflavin to 350 nm in both native fumarate reductase and a flavin peptide released by proteolytic digestion indicates that the flavin is attached via position 8 alpha of riboflavin. Based on the spectral properties and pH-fluorescence dependence we have identified the linkage as 8 alpha-[N(3)-histidyl]FAD.

A membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase, solubilized and partially purified from a marine bacterium Photobacterium phosphoreum, contains FAD as the prosthetic group, and is specific for NADH. Ferricyanide, various other redox dyes and cytochrome c can act as electron acceptors. The enzymatic activity when assayed with electron acceptors other than cytochrome c, is activated by monovalent cations (Na+ and K+) and deactivated by high concentrations of monovalent anions (SCN-, NO3-, and Cl-) but not by phosphate ions. The enzymatic reaction follows a ping-pong mechanism and kinetic analysis of the enzyme showed that the activation by monovalent cations is due to increase of affinity of the enzyme for substrates; Vm was not affected. The increase of affinity was 62- and 46-fold for NADH and 57- and 31-fold for 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol in the presence of Na+ and K+, respectively. On the other hand, NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity of the enzyme was strongly inhibited by these cations.

An inducible membrane-bound L-4-hydroxymandelate oxidase (decarboxylating) from Pseudomonas convexa has been solubilized and partially purified. It catalyzes the conversion of L-4-hydroxymandelic acid to 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde in a single step with the stoichiometric consumption of O2 and liberation of CO2. The enzyme is optimally active at pH 6.6 and at 55 degrees C. It requires FAD and Mn2+ for its activity. The membrane-bound enzyme is more stable than the solubilized and purified enzyme. After solubilization it gradually loses its activity when kept at 5 degrees C which can be fully reactivated by freezing and thawing. The Km values for DL-4-hydroxymandelate and FAD are 0.44 mM and 0.038 mM respectively. The enzyme is highly specific for DL-4-hydroxymandelic acid. DL-3,4-Dihydroxymandelic acid competitively inhibited the enzyme reaction. From the Dixon plot the Ki for DL-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid was calculated to be 1.8 X 10(-4) M. The enzyme is completely inactivated by thiol compounds and not affected by thiol inhibitors. The enzyme is also inhibited by denaturing agents, heavy metal ions and by chelating agents.

The membrane-bound formate dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli grown anaerobically in the presence of nitrate was solubilized with deoxycholate and purified to near homogeneity. The purification procedure included ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on Bio-Gel A-1.5m and DEAE Bio-Gel A in the presence of the nonionic detergent, Triton X-100. This detergent caused a significant decrease in the molecular weight of the soluble formate dehydrogenase complex and allowed the enzyme then to be resolved from other membrane components. Anaerobic conditions were required throughout due to the sensitivity of the enzyme to oxygen inactivation. Formate dehydrogenase was judged to be at least 93 to 99% pure by the following procedures: polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfate, gel filtration, and sedimentation velocity studies. The purified enzyme exists as a detergent-protein complex (0.20 +/- 0.03 g of Triton X-100/g of protein) which has an S20,w of 18.1 S and a Stokes radius of 76 A. This corresponds to a molecular weight of 590,000 +/- 59,000. The enzyme had an absorbance spectrum of a b-type cytochrome which could be completely reduced by formate. The heme content corresponds to an equivalent weight of 154,000 which suggests a tetrameric structure for the enzyme. Formate dehydrogenase was found to contain (in relative molar amounts): 1.0 heme, 0.95 molybdenum, 0.96 selenium, 14 non-heme iron, and 13 acid-labile sulfide. Neither FAD nor FMN could be detected. The enzyme contains three polypeptides, designated alpha, beta, and gamma, whose molecular weights were estimated by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate to be 110,000, 32,000, and 20,000, respectively. After separation of the polypeptides by gel filtration in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate alpha, beta, and gamma were found in 1:1.2:0.55 molar ratios. A study of the enzyme obtained from cells grown with [75Se]selenite showed that only the alpha polypeptide contained significant amounts of selenium. The enzyme will catalyze the formate-dependent reduction of phenazine methosulfate, dichlorophenolindophenol, methylene blue, nitroblue tetrazolium, benzyl viologen, methyl viologen, ferricyanide, and coenzyme Q6. Cyanide, azide, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, iodoacetamide, and oxygen inhibit the enzyme. The procedure which was designed for the purification of formate dehydrogenase also yields a highly purified preparation of nitrate reductase. This nitrate reductase has been shown to contain significant amounts of heme (Enoch, H. G., and Lester, R. L. (1974) Biochem. Biophys. Res Commun. 61,1234-1241). The enzyme contains three polypeptides with molecular weights of 155,000, 63,000, and 19,000. When measured in the presence of Trition X-100 the Stokes radius of nitrate reductase is 75 A and the S20,w is 16 S which corresponds to a molecular weight of 498,000.

The soluble nitrate reductase of Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids has been purified and its properties compared to those of aerobically grown cells. The enzymes from both sources are similar with molecular weights of about 70 000 suggesting no close relationship with the molybdo-protein component of nitrogenase. Nitrite, the product of nitrate reductase, strongly inhibited the nitrogenase activity from bacteroids, at concentrations less than 100 muM. Thus, an interference in the rate of nitrogen fixation is possible as a result of nitrate reductase activity. A study of the distribution of nitrate reductase in bacteroids indicates that a proportion of the total activity is membrane-bound but that this activity is similar to that in the soluble fraction. Purified nitrate reductase required reduced viologen dyes for activity. Neither NADPH or NADH or FAD could substitute as electron donors. Dithionite is a strong inhibitor and inactivated nitrate reductase from all sources examined. This inactivation is prevented by methyl viologen. Purified nitrate reductase from bacteroids and bacteria Rhizobium japonicum is practically unaffected by exposure to oxygen.

Activation of the NADPH oxidase of phagocytes in the cell-free system requires the association of several cytosolic components with membrane-bound cytochrome b. In this study we were able to fully reconstitute NADPH oxidase activity in the cell-free system with three recombinant proteins: p67-phox, p47-phox, p21rac1, and pure cytochrome b-245. Activity was dependent upon the concentration of the proteins, with maximal activity observed with roughly equimolar ratios of the cytochrome b and p67-phox (133 and 163 mol/s/mol, respectively) and concentrations of the other two proteins approximately 1 order of magnitude greater. No activity was observed in the absence of any one of these components. In addition, activation was dependent upon p21rac1 being preloaded with GTP, the cytochrome b being reconstituted with lipid, and the presence of FAD during activation. Half-maximal activity was observed at a concentration of NADPH of approximately 50 microM. These findings confirm our recent description of the membrane-bound cytochrome b as a FAD-containing flavocytochrome b containing the NADPH binding site, and implicate the three cytosolic proteins in its activation.
