Vitamin K-dependent carboxylation. Evidence that at least two microsomal dehydrogenases reduce vitamin K1 to support carboxylation. 1982

R Wallin, and S Hutson

It has been shown that NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.2) reduces vitamin K1 and can support the [vitamin K1 + NADH]-dependent carboxylation reaction in rat liver microsomes (Wallin, R., Gebhardt, O., and Prydz, H. (1978) Biochem. J. 169, 95-101). Antibodies were raised in rabbits against the purified enzyme from liver cytosol and used to study the importance of NAD(P)H dehydrogenase in the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation reaction. The antibodies neutralized the warfarin-sensitive NAD(P)H dehydrogenase activity in Triton X-100-solubilized microsomes; however, they neutralized only 45% of the total [vitamin K1 + NADH]-dependent carboxylation activity. Chromatography on protein A-sepharose showed that the remaining carboxylase activity was not the result of soluble antigen-antibody complexes. The data presented support the conclusion that the microsomal preparation also contains a non-warfarin-sensitive dehydrogenase(s) that, in addition to NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, can reduce vitamin K1 to support the carboxylation reaction.

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.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D011808 Quinone Reductases NAD(P)H:(quinone acceptor) oxidoreductases. A family that includes three enzymes which are distinguished by their sensitivity to various inhibitors. EC 1.6.99.2 (NAD(P)H DEHYDROGENASE (QUINONE);) is a flavoprotein which reduces various quinones in the presence of NADH or NADPH and is inhibited by dicoumarol. EC 1.6.99.5 (NADH dehydrogenase (quinone)) requires NADH, is inhibited by AMP and 2,4-dinitrophenol but not by dicoumarol or folic acid derivatives. EC 1.6.99.6 (NADPH dehydrogenase (quinone)) requires NADPH and is inhibited by dicoumarol and folic acid derivatives but not by 2,4-dinitrophenol.
