Activity staining with NADPH-nitroblue tetrazolium after native-PAGE of membrane proteins of Synechocystis PCC6803, solubilized with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), revealed four NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH) activities; an NDH complex of the respiratory chain, a ferredoxin NADP+ reductase (FNR), a drgA product which oxidized both NADH and NADPH, and an uncharacterized NADH-specific enzyme. The NDH complex was purified with anion exchange and gel filtration chromatographies. The purified complex had a molecular mass of 376 kDa and was composed of 9 subunits. Western analysis showed that the complex contained the NDH-H subunit, but not NDH-A or B. The enzyme reduced ferricyanide much faster than plastoquinone and used NADPH as its preferred electron donor rather than NADH. The enzymatic activity was inhibited by diphenyleneiodonium chloride and salicylhydroxamic acid, but not by rotenone, p-chloromercuribenzoate, N-ethylmaleimide, flavon, dicumarol, or antimycin A. These results suggest that the purified complex is a hydrophilic subcomplex which contains an NADPH binding site and flavin, and is dissociated from a hydrophobic subcomplex, which contains quinone binding site.

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).

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).

D000458	Cyanobacteria	A phylum of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria comprised of unicellular to multicellular bacteria possessing CHLOROPHYLL a and carrying out oxygenic PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Cyanobacteria are the only known organisms capable of fixing both CARBON DIOXIDE (in the presence of light) and NITROGEN. Cell morphology can include nitrogen-fixing heterocysts and/or resting cells called akinetes. Formerly called blue-green algae, cyanobacteria were traditionally treated as ALGAE.
