  • Title: Partial purification and properties of the external NADH dehydrogenase from cuckoo-pint (Arum maculatum) mitochondria.
    Author: Cottingham IR, Moore AL.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1984 Nov 15; 224(1):171-9. PubMed ID: 6508755.
    Abstract:
    The external NADH dehydrogenase has been purified from Arum maculatum (cuckoo-pint) mitochondria by phosphate washing, extraction with deoxycholate, ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis shows, when the gel is silver-stained, that the purified enzyme contains two major bands of Mr 78 000 and 65 000 and a minor one of Mr about 76 000. It is not possible at present to determine which of these, or which combination, constitutes the dehydrogenase. The enzyme contains non-covalently bound FAD and a small amount of FMN. Since the conditions of purification lead to considerable loss of flavin and possibly iron-sulphur centres, it is not possible to decide with certainty whether the enzyme is a flavo- or ferroflavo-protein. The enzyme has been distinguished from the other NADH dehydrogenases on the basis of its substrate specificity, its capability of reducing electron acceptors such as ubiquinone-1 and 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol and its sensitivity towards Ca2+, EGTA and dicoumarol.
