Synaptic plasma membranes (SPMV) decrease the steady state ascorbate free radical (AFR) concentration of 1mM ascorbate in phosphate/EDTA buffer (pH 7), due to AFR recycling by redox coupling between ascorbate and the ubiquinone content of these membranes. In the presence of NADH, but not NADPH, SPMV catalyse a rapid recycling of AFR which further lower the AFR concentration below 0.05 microM. These results correlate with the nearly 10-fold higher NADH oxidase over NADPH oxidase activity of SPMV. SPMV has NADH-dependent coenzyme Q reductase activity. In the presence of ascorbate the stimulation of the NADH oxidase activity of SPMV by coenzyme Q(1) and cytochrome c can be accounted for by the increase of the AFR concentration generated by the redox pairs ascorbate/coenzyme Q(1) and ascorbate/cytochrome c. The NADH:AFR reductase activity makes a major contribution to the NADH oxidase activity of SPMV and decreases the steady-state AFR concentration well below the micromolar concentration range.
突触质膜(SPMV)可降低磷酸盐/EDTA缓冲液(pH 7)中1mM抗坏血酸的稳态抗坏血酸自由基(AFR)浓度,这是由于抗坏血酸与这些膜的泛醌含量之间通过氧化还原偶联实现AFR循环。在存在NADH而非NADPH的情况下,SPMV催化AFR的快速循环,使AFR浓度进一步降低至0.05 microM以下。这些结果与SPMV的NADH氧化酶活性比NADPH氧化酶活性高近10倍相关。SPMV具有NADH依赖性辅酶Q还原酶活性。在存在抗坏血酸的情况下,辅酶Q(1)和细胞色素c对SPMV的NADH氧化酶活性的刺激可归因于抗坏血酸/辅酶Q(1)和抗坏血酸/细胞色素c氧化还原对产生的AFR浓度的增加。NADH:AFR还原酶活性对SPMV的NADH氧化酶活性起主要作用,并将稳态AFR浓度降低至远低于微摩尔浓度范围。
