Evidence That the Transfer of Hydride Ion Equivalents between Nucleotides by Proton-translocating Transhydrogenase Is Direct

Abstract: Hydride transfer between the nucleotides is evidently direct. This conclusion indicates that the nicotinamide rings of the nucleotides are in close apposition during the hydride transfer reaction, and it imposes firm constraints on the mechanism by which transhydrogenation is linked to proton translocation.Transhydrogenase is found in the inner membranes of animal mitochondria and the cytoplasmic membranes of some bacteria. It couples the transfer of hydride ion equivalents between NAD(H) and NADP(H) to the tr… Show more

“…1 A. The reaction took place in a biphasic burst, before the onset of the steady state, which is limited in rate by very slow release of NADP ϩ [9,12]. In the conditions of the experiment, the steady-state rate of transhydrogenation was equivalent to approximately 0.0004 A · s Ϫ1 , which is negligible on the time scale of the figure.…”

“…The significance of this observation is that it shows that hydride transfer between nucleotides in the recombinant domain I:III complex is fast. It is unlikely, therefore, that the membrane-spanning domain II participates directly in the hydride-transfer process.More recently, it was found by means of stopped-flow spectrophotometry that fast hydride transfer from NADPH to AcPdAD ϩ in the I:III complex could be observed directly as a burst before the reaction becomes limited by NADP ϩ release in the steady state [12]. Two observations led to the conclusion that hydride transfer between the nucleotides is direct, and does not…”
