The respiratory NADH dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli has been further amplified in vivo by genetic methods. The enzyme, a single polypeptide of Mr 47 200 of known amino acid sequence [Young, I. G., Rogers, B. L., Campbell, H. D., Jaworowski, A., & Shaw, D. C. (1981) Eur. J. Biochem. 116, 165-170], constitutes 10-15% of the total protein in the amplified membranes. In situ in the membrane, the enzyme contains 1 mol of FAD/mol of subunit and has a specific NADH:ubiquinone-1 oxidoreductase activity of approximately 1100-1200 units mg-1 at 30 degrees C, pH 7.5. The purified enzyme contains phospholipid, which remains closely associated with it during gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300 in the presence of 0.1% (w/v) cholate at low ionic strength. Under these conditions the enzyme is extensively aggregated (apparent Mr greater than 10(6]. This procedure yielded enzyme with a specific activity of 980 units mg-1, similar to the value observed in the membrane. This preparation contained less than 0.1 mol of Fe/mol of enzyme, confirming that Fe is not involved in reduction of ubiquinone 1 catalyzed by the enzyme. Neutron activation analysis of purified enzyme has demonstrated the absence of 35 trace elements including Se, Zn, Mn, Co, W, Cu, and Fe. The enzyme polypeptide, prepared completely free of phospholipid, FAD, and ubiquinone by gel filtration in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, has been reactivated. The results show that the only components necessary for catalysis of ubiquinone-1 reduction by NADH in this system are the enzyme polypeptide, FAD, and phospholipid.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
