Lysine residues outside of the NADH-binding site in the soluble catalytic fragment of cytochrome b5 reductase were modified with ethyl acetimidate and acetic anhydride while the binding site was protected by formation of the stable oxidized nucleotide-reduced flavoprotein complex. This treatment had a minimal effect on enzyme activity; the turnover number with potassium ferricyanide was 45,300 in the native reductase and 39,200 in the derivative. Subsequent reaction with [3H]acetic anhydride after the removal of NADH resulted in the loss of 91% of the enzyme activity and the incorporation of 1.9 eq of acetyl groups into the protein. Treatment with 1 M hydroxylamine at pH 13 indicated that only lysine residues were acetylated, and fragmentation of the derivative with cyanogen bromide and subfragmentation with trypsin and chymotrypsin demonstrated that only Lys110 was labeled at high specific activity, with a stoichiometry of 0.83 acetyl groups/mol, in good agreement with the loss of enzyme activity observed. The remaining label was distributed at low levels among four or more additional lysine residues. These results demonstrate that only Lys110 is specifically protected by NADH and is therefore the residue which provides the epsilon-amino group implicated in NADH binding in cytochrome b5 reductase.
