The [4B-3H] NADH-H2O exchange reaction of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase. 1985

S Chen, and R J Guillory

The purified mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase enzyme has been shown to catalyze a rapid [4B-3H] NADH-H2O exchange reaction. When the enzyme is subjected to a single freeze-thaw cycle there is a complete loss of NADH dehydrogenation without a measurable decrease in the [4B-3H] NADH-H2O exchange. Complete loss of the [4B-3H] NADH-H2O exchange follows brief exposure to ultraviolet photoirradiation. The differential sensitivity of the water exchange reaction and the dehydrogenase activity suggests a direct involvement of the enzymes flavin cofactor in the catalysis of the [4B-3H] NADH-H2O exchange. Arylazido-beta-alanyl NAD+ (A3'-0-[3-[N-4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino] propionyl]NAD+) is shown to be a potent photodependent inhibitor of the [4B-3H] NADH-H2O exchange activity following photoirradiation with visible light. This is consistent with the observed photodependent inhibition of the dehydrogenase activity by this photoprobe (Chen, S. and Guillory, R.J. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 8318-8323).

D009243 NAD A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

D009245 NADH Dehydrogenase A flavoprotein and iron sulfur-containing oxidoreductase that catalyzes the oxidation of NADH to NAD. In eukaryotes the enzyme can be found as a component of mitochondrial electron transport complex I. Under experimental conditions the enzyme can use CYTOCHROME C GROUP as the reducing cofactor. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 1.6.2.1. NADH Cytochrome c Reductase,Diaphorase (NADH Dehydrogenase),NADH (Acceptor) Oxidoreductase,NADH Cytochrome c Oxidoreductase,Dehydrogenase, NADH
D009247 NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6.
