A dihydropteridine reductase from Escherichia coli was purified to apparent homogeneity. It is a dimeric enzyme with identical subunits (Mr 27000) and a free N-terminal group. It can use NADH (Vmax./Km 3.36 s-1) and NADPH (Vmax./Km 1.07 s-1) when 6-methyldihydro-(6H)-pterin is the second substrate, as well as quinonoid dihydro-(6H)-biopterin (Vmax./Km 0.69 s-1), dihydro-(6H)-neopterin (Vmax./Km 0.58 s-1), dihydro-(6H)-monapterin 0.66 s-1), 6-methyldihydro-(6H)-pterin and cis-6,7-dimethyldihydro-(6H)-pterin (Vmax./Km 0.66 s-1) when NADH is the second substrate. The pure reductase has a yellow colour and contains bound FAD. The enzyme also has pterin-independent NADH and NADPH oxidoreductase activities when potassium ferricyanide is the electron acceptor.
从大肠杆菌中纯化出一种二氢蝶啶还原酶,达到了表观均一性。它是一种二聚体酶,亚基相同(分子量27000),具有游离的N末端基团。当6-甲基二氢-(6H)-蝶呤作为第二底物时,它可以利用NADH(Vmax./Km为3.36 s-1)和NADPH(Vmax./Km为1.07 s-1),当NADH作为第二底物时,它还可以利用醌型二氢-(6H)-生物蝶呤(Vmax./Km为0.69 s-1)、二氢-(6H)-新蝶呤(Vmax./Km为0.58 s-1)、二氢-(6H)-单蝶呤(Vmax./Km为0.66 s-1)、6-甲基二氢-(6H)-蝶呤和顺式-6,7-二甲基二氢-(6H)-蝶呤(Vmax./Km为0.66 s-1)。纯还原酶呈黄色,含有结合型FAD。当铁氰化钾作为电子受体时,该酶还具有不依赖蝶呤的NADH和NADPH氧化还原酶活性。
