The NADH oxidase of Amphibacillus xylanus shows high NADH-peroxide reductase activity for hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides in the presence of a 22-kDa disulfide-containing protein component (Y. Niimura, L. B. Poole, and V. Massey, J. Biol.Chem. 270, 25645-25650, 1995). It was found that the membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase of an alkaliphilic Bacillus (YN-1) involved in the respiratory chain also exhibits reductase activity for hydrogen peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide in the presence of the 22-kDa component from Amphibacillus xylanus. Vmax values for these substrates were as high as those of the NADH oxidase of A. xylanus. Although the 38-kDa protein produced by trypsin treatment of NADH dehydrogenase retains NADH dehydrogenase activity, it exhibited no peroxide reductase activity in the presence of the 22-kDa component from A. xylanus. The NADH dehydrogenase of YN-1 might not only catalyze electron flow from NADH to the respiratory chain, but also function for scavenging peroxide.
木聚糖两栖芽孢杆菌的NADH氧化酶在一种含22 kDa二硫键的蛋白质组分存在的情况下,对过氧化氢和烷基氢过氧化物表现出较高的NADH - 过氧化物还原酶活性(Y. Niimura、L. B. Poole和V. Massey,《生物化学杂志》270,25645 - 25650,1995年)。研究发现,参与呼吸链的嗜碱芽孢杆菌(YN - 1)的膜结合NADH脱氢酶在存在来自木聚糖两栖芽孢杆菌的22 kDa组分时,对过氧化氢和异丙苯过氧化氢也表现出还原酶活性。这些底物的Vmax值与木聚糖两栖芽孢杆菌的NADH氧化酶的Vmax值一样高。尽管用胰蛋白酶处理NADH脱氢酶产生的38 kDa蛋白质保留了NADH脱氢酶活性,但在存在来自木聚糖两栖芽孢杆菌的22 kDa组分时,它没有表现出过氧化物还原酶活性。YN - 1的NADH脱氢酶可能不仅催化电子从NADH流向呼吸链,还具有清除过氧化物的功能。
