Mitochondrial membranes from Trypanosoma brucei procyclic trypomastigotes generated superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide in a 2:1 ratio when supplemented with NADH. Fumarate inhibited hydrogen peroxide formation (Ki = 16 microM) with the same affinity as it stimulated NADH-fumarate reductase activity. Superoxide anion production was also 65% inhibited by fumarate (Ki = 20 microM). The KM for NADH of the NADH-fumarate reductase (60 microM) was also similar to that for hydrogen peroxide generation in the absence of fumarate (30 microM). These results suggest that the NADH-fumarate reductase is involved as a source for free radical generation in T. brucei mitochondria.
当补充烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NADH)时,来自布氏锥虫前循环型锥鞭毛体的线粒体膜以2:1的比例产生超氧阴离子和过氧化氢。延胡索酸抑制过氧化氢的形成(抑制常数Ki = 16微摩尔),其亲和力与它刺激NADH-延胡索酸还原酶活性时相同。延胡索酸对超氧阴离子产生的抑制作用也达65%(抑制常数Ki = 20微摩尔)。NADH-延胡索酸还原酶对NADH的米氏常数(KM)(60微摩尔)也与在没有延胡索酸时过氧化氢生成的米氏常数(30微摩尔)相似。这些结果表明,NADH-延胡索酸还原酶参与了布氏锥虫线粒体中自由基产生的过程。
