Two types of nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDP kinase I and NDP kinase II) have been purified from spinach leaves to electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzymes were copurified with apparent [35S]GTP-gamma S-binding activities. NDP kinase I, which was not adsorbed to a hydroxyapatite column, and NDP kinase II, which was adsorbed, had molecular weights of 16,000 and 18,000, respectively, as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The molecular weights determined by gel filtration were 92,000 and 110,000, respectively, suggesting that both enzymes are composed of six identical subunits. Minor differences in some amino acids between NDP kinase I and NDP kinase II were observed when both enzymes were analyzed for amino acid composition. The apparent [35S]GTP gamma S-binding activity of purified NDP kinase I and NDP kinase II was found to be due to the formation of a [35S]thiophosphorylated enzyme, which is the intermediate of the NDP kinase reaction.
