The proton-translocating transmembrane pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase of Escherichia coli is composed of two types of subunits, alpha and beta. The beta subunit has several membrane-spanning segments in the N-terminal region followed by a cytosolic C-terminal domain bearing a binding site for NADP(H). The N-terminal region contains at least one residue involved in the process of transmembrane proton translocation. Using site-directed mutagenesis cysteine residues were introduced at selected sites into the N-terminal region of the beta subunit. The pattern of labelling of these residues with 3-(N-maleimidyl propionyl)biocytin and other sulfhydryl reagents has shown that a model in which the N-terminal region of the beta subunit spans the membrane in eight segments is more likely than a previously proposed six segment model (Holmberg et al. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 7691-7700). The preferred model accounts for the site of labelling of a glutamate residue (Glu124) in the N-terminal domain by N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide.

D009249 NADP Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-phosphate (NMN) coupled by pyrophosphate linkage to the 5'-phosphate adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate. It serves as an electron carrier in a number of reactions, being alternately oxidized (NADP+) and reduced (NADPH).

D009250 NADP Transhydrogenases Enzymes that catalyze the reversible reduction of NAD by NADPH to yield NADP and NADH. This reaction permits the utilization of the reducing properties of NADPH by the respiratory chain and in the reverse direction it allows the reduction of NADP for biosynthetic purposes.
