This study was undertaken to search for the endogenous dithiol cofactor of the reductases of the vitamin K cycle. As a starting point, the redox-active lipophilic endogenous compounds lipoic acid and lipoamide were looked at. The study shows that microsomes contain NADH-dependent lipoamide reductase activity. Reduced lipoamide stimulates microsomal vitamin K epoxide reduction with kinetics comparable with those for the synthetic dithiol dithiothreitol (DTT). Reduced lipoic acid shows higher (4-fold) Km values. No reductase activity with lipoic acid was found to be present in microsomes or cytosol. The reduced-lipoamide-stimulated vitamin K epoxide reductase is as sensitive to warfarin and salicylate inhibition as is the DTT-stimulated one. Both vitamin K epoxide reductase and lipoamide reductase activity are recovered in the rough microsomes. NADH/lipoamide-stimulated vitamin K epoxide reduction is uncoupled by traces of Triton X-100, suggesting that microsomal lipoamide reductase and vitamin K epoxide reductase are associated. The results suggest that the vitamin K cycle obtains reducing equivalents from NADH through microsomal lipoamide reductase.
