Correlation between active form and dimeric structure of mitochondrial nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase from beef heart. 1992

The active form of purified mitochondrial nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase from beef heart was investigated by crosslinking with dimethylsuberimidate and SDS-PAGE, with or without pretreatment with the inactivating detergent Triton X-100. In the absence of detergent, crosslinked isomers of the dimeric form of 208-235 kDa were obtained. Addition of detergent led to the simultaneous loss of the dimers and the bulk of the activity. Removal of the detergent led to a partial restoration of both activity and the dimeric forms. The results suggest that the active form is a dimer, and that the detergent-dependent conversion to the largely inactive monomer is reversible. It is proposed that the mechanism of inactivation of transhydrogenase by Triton X-100 involves a disruption of essential hydrophobic interactions between the membrane-spanning regions of the monomers.
