Activation of nitrite reductase from Escherichia coli K12 by oxidized nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide.

ABSTRACT: Nitrite reductase from Escherichia coli K12 requires the presence of NAD+, one of the products of the reduction of NO2-by NADH, for full activity. The effect is observed with both crude extracts and purified enzyme. NAD+ also acts as a product inhibitor at high concentrations, and plots of initial rate against NAD+ concentration are bell-shaped. The maximum occurs at about 1 mM-NAD+, but increases with increasing NADH concentration. In the presence of 1 mM-NAD+ and saturating NO2-(2mM) the Michaelis constant for NADH is about 16 micron. The Michaelis constant for NO2-is about 5 micron and is largely independent of the NAD+ concentration. Similar but more pronounced effects of NAD+ are observed with hydroxylamine as electron acceptor instead of NO2-. The maximum rate of NADH oxidation by hydroxylamine is about 5.4 times greater than the maximum rate of NADH oxidation by NO2- when assayed with the same volume of the same preparation of purified enzyme. The Michaelis constant for hydroxylamine is 5.3 mM, however, about 1000 times higher than for NO2-. These results are consistent with a mechanism in which the same enzyme-hydroxylamine complex occurs as an intermediate in both reactions.

Reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide-nitrite reductase from Azotobacter chroococcum.

Project description:1. The assimilatory nitrite reductase of the N(2)-fixing bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum was prepared in a soluble form from cells grown aerobically with nitrate as the nitrogen source, and some of its properties have been studied. 2. The enzyme is a FAD-dependent metalloprotein (mol.wt. about 67000), which stoicheiometrically catalyses the direct reduction of nitrite to NH(3) with NADH as the electron donor. 3. NADH-nitrite reductase can exist in two either active or inactive interconvertible forms. Inactivation in vitro can be achieved by preincubation with NADH. Nitrite can specifically protect the enzyme against this inactivation and reverse the process once it has occurred. 4. A. chroococcum nitrite reductase is an adaptive enzyme whose formation depends on the presence of either nitrate or nitrite in the nutrient solution. 5. Tungstate inhibits growth of the microorganism very efficiently, by competition with molybdate, when nitrate is the nitrogen source, but does not interfere when nitrite or NH(3) is substituted for nitrate. The addition of tungstate to the culture media results in the loss of nitrate reductase activity but does not affect nitrite reductase.

Photoinduced Electron Transfer from a 1,4,5,6-Tetrahydro Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (Phosphate) Analogue to Oxidized Flavin in an Ene-Reductase Flavoenzyme.

Project description:Recent reports have described the use of ene-reductase flavoenzymes to catalyze non-natural photochemical reactions. These studies have focused on using reduced flavoenzyme, yet oxidized flavins have superior light harvesting properties. In a binary complex of the oxidized ene-reductase pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase with the nonreactive nicotinamide coenzyme analogs 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro NAD(P)H, visible photoexcitation of the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) leads to one-electron transfer from the NAD(P)H4 to FMN, generating a NAD(P)H4 cation radical and anionic FMN semiquinone. This electron transfer occurs in ∼1 ps and appears to kinetically outcompete reductive quenching from aromatic residues in the active site. Time-resolved infrared measurements show that relaxation processes appear to be largely localized on the FMN and the charge-separated state is short-lived, with relaxation, presumably via back electron transfer, occurring over ∼3-30 ps. While this demonstrates the potential for non-natural photoactivity, useful photocatalysis will likely require longer-lived excited states, which may be accessible by enzyme engineering and/or a judicious choice of substrate.

Purification and properties of nitrite reductase from Escherichia coli K12.

Project description:NADH-nitrite oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.4) was purified to better than 95% homogeneity from batch cultures of Escherichia coli strain OR75Ch15, which is partially constitutive for nitrite reductase synthesis. Yields of purified enzyme were low, mainly because of a large loss of activity during chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The quantitative separation of cytochrome c-552 from nitrite reductase activity resulted in an increase in the specific activity of the enzyme: this cytochrome is not therefore an integral part of nitrite reductase. The subunit molecular weights of nitrite reductase and of a haemoprotein contaminant, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, were 88000 and 80000 respectively. The sedimentation coefficient was calculated to be in the range 8.5-9.5S, consistent with a mol.wt. of 190000. It is suggested therefore that the native enzyme is a dimer with two identical or similar-sized subunits. Purest samples contained 0.4 mol of flavin/mol of enzyme, but no detectable haem. Catalytic activity was totally inhibited by 20 micron-p-chloromercuribenzoate and 1 mM-cyanide, slightly inhibited by 1 micron-sulphite and 10mM-arsenite, but insensitive to 1 mM-2,2'-bipyridine, 4mM-1,10-phenanthroline and 10mM-NaN3. Three molecules of NADH were oxidized for each NO2-ion reduced: the product of the reaction is therefore assumed to be NH4+. The specific activity of hydroxylamine reductase increased at each step in the purification of nitrite reductase, and the elution profiles for these two activities during chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex were coincident. It is likely that a single enzyme is responsible for both activities.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as a photocatalyst.

Project description:Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a key redox compound in all living cells responsible for energy transduction, genomic integrity, life-span extension, and neuromodulation. Here, we report a new function of NAD+ as a molecular photocatalyst in addition to the biological roles. Our spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses reveal light absorption and electronic properties of two π-conjugated systems of NAD+. Furthermore, NAD+ exhibits a robust photostability under UV-Vis-NIR irradiation. We demonstrate photocatalytic redox reactions driven by NAD+, such as O2 reduction, H2O oxidation, and the formation of metallic nanoparticles. Beyond the traditional role of NAD+ as a cofactor in redox biocatalysis, NAD+ executes direct photoactivation of oxidoreductases through the reduction of enzyme prosthetic groups. Consequently, the synergetic integration of biocatalysis and photocatalysis using NAD+ enables solar-to-chemical conversion with the highest-ever-recorded turnover frequency and total turnover number of 1263.4 hour-1 and 1692.3, respectively, for light-driven biocatalytic trans-hydrogenation.

Prosthetic groups of the NADH-dependent nitrite reductase from Escherichia coli K12.

Project description:A substantially improved purification of Escherichia coli NADH-dependent nitrite reductase was obtained by purifying it in presence of 1 mM-NO2- and 10 microM-FAD. The enzyme was obtained in 20% yield with a maximum specific activity of 1.04 kat . kg-1: more than 95% of this sample subjected to sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis migrated as a single band of protein. This highly active enzyme contained one non-covalently bound FAD molecule, and, probably, 5 Fe atoms and 4 acid-labile S atoms per subunit. No FMN, covalently bound flavin or Mo was detected. The spectrum of the enzyme shows absorption maxima at 386, 455, 530 and about 575 nm with a shoulder at 480--490 nm. The Soret-band/alpha-band absorbance ratio is about 4:1. These spectral features are characteristic of sirohaem, apart from the maximum at 455nm, which is attributed to flavin. The enzyme also catalyses the NADH-dependent reduction of horse heart cytochrome c, 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol and K3Fe(CN)6. The presence of sirohaem in E. coli nitrite reductase explains the apparent identity of the cysG and nirB gene of E. coli and inability of hemA mutants to reduce nitrite.

Metabolism and biochemical properties of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) analogs, nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide (NGD) and nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide (NHD).

Project description:Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an important coenzyme that regulates various metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, β-oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation. Additionally, NAD serves as a substrate for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), sirtuin, and NAD glycohydrolase, and it regulates DNA repair, gene expression, energy metabolism, and stress responses. Many studies have demonstrated that NAD metabolism is deeply involved in aging and aging-related diseases. Previously, we demonstrated that nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide (NGD) and nicotinamide hypoxanthine dinucleotide (NHD), which are analogs of NAD, are significantly increased in Nmnat3-overexpressing mice. However, there is insufficient knowledge about NGD and NHD in vivo. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the metabolism and biochemical properties of these NAD analogs. We demonstrated that endogenous NGD and NHD were found in various murine tissues, and their synthesis and degradation partially rely on Nmnat3 and CD38. We have also shown that NGD and NHD serve as coenzymes for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in vitro, although their affinity is much lower than that of NAD. On the other hand, NGD and NHD cannot be used as substrates for SIRT1, SIRT3, and PARP1. These results reveal the basic metabolism of NGD and NHD and also highlight their biological function as coenzymes.

Studies on energy-linked reactions. Energy-linked reduction of oxidized nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide by succinate in Escherichia coli.

Project description:1. A method for the preparation of small particles from Escherichia coli is described. 2. These particles catalyse the ATP-driven reduction of NAD(+) by succinate. 3. ATP utilized/NADH produced ratios below 2.0 were measured and a stoicheiometry of 1 molecule of ATP utilized per molecule of NADH produced is proposed. 4. The reaction is not inhibited by 2,4-dinitrophenol or by oligomycin but is inhibited by other uncouplers such as pentabromophenol and dicoumarol. 5. The specificity of the energy source, the specificity of the electron acceptor, the effects of pH, Mg(2+), P(i) and temperature have been studied.

Two Different Methods of Quantification of Oxidized Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) and Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH) Intracellular Levels: Enzymatic Coupled Cycling Assay and Ultra-performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC)-Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Current studies on the age-related development of metabolic dysfunction and frailty are each day in more evidence. It is known, as aging progresses, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels decrease in an expected physiological process. Recent studies have shown that a reduction in NAD+ is a key factor for the development of age-associated metabolic decline. Increased NAD+ levels in vivo results in activation of pro-longevity and health span-related factors. Also, it improves several physiological and metabolic parameters of aging, including muscle function, exercise capacity, glucose tolerance, and cardiac function in mouse models of natural and accelerated aging. Given the importance of monitoring cellular NAD+ and NADH levels, it is crucial to have a trustful method to do so. This protocol has the purpose of describing the NAD+ and NADH extraction from tissues and cells in an efficient and widely applicable assay as well as its graphic and quantitative analysis.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis promotes liver regeneration.

Project description:The regenerative capacity of the liver is essential for recovery from surgical resection or injuries induced by trauma or toxins. During liver regeneration, the concentration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) falls, at least in part due to metabolic competition for precursors. To test whether NAD availability restricts the rate of liver regeneration, we supplied nicotinamide riboside (NR), an NAD precursor, in the drinking water of mice subjected to partial hepatectomy. NR increased DNA synthesis, mitotic index, and mass restoration in the regenerating livers. Intriguingly, NR also ameliorated the steatosis that normally accompanies liver regeneration. To distinguish the role of hepatocyte NAD levels from any systemic effects of NR, we generated mice overexpressing nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, a rate-limiting enzyme for NAD synthesis, specifically in the liver. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase overexpressing mice were mildly hyperglycemic at baseline and, similar to mice treated with NR, exhibited enhanced liver regeneration and reduced steatosis following partial hepatectomy. Conversely, mice lacking nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase in hepatocytes exhibited impaired regenerative capacity that was completely rescued by administering NR.ConclusionNAD availability is limiting during liver regeneration, and supplementation with precursors such as NR may be therapeutic in settings of acute liver injury.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is transported into mammalian mitochondria.

Project description:Mitochondrial NAD levels influence fuel selection, circadian rhythms, and cell survival under stress. It has alternately been argued that NAD in mammalian mitochondria arises from import of cytosolic nicotinamide (NAM), nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), or NAD itself. We provide evidence that murine and human mitochondria take up intact NAD. Isolated mitochondria preparations cannot make NAD from NAM, and while NAD is synthesized from NMN, it does not localize to the mitochondrial matrix or effectively support oxidative phosphorylation. Treating cells with nicotinamide riboside that is isotopically labeled on the nicotinamide and ribose moieties results in the appearance of doubly labeled NAD within mitochondria. Analogous experiments with doubly labeled nicotinic acid riboside (labeling cytosolic NAD without labeling NMN) demonstrate that NAD(H) is the imported species. Our results challenge the long-held view that the mitochondrial inner membrane is impermeable to pyridine nucleotides and suggest the existence of an unrecognized mammalian NAD (or NADH) transporter.
