Aps Reductase

Adenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (APS) reductase was purified from Thiobacillus thioparus extracts 25- to 46-fold and the properties were studied. The molecular weight was 170 000 and the enzyme had 1 mole of FAD, 8–10 moles of iron, and 4–5 moles of labile sulfide. Cytochrome c as well as ferricyanide served as the electron acceptor. The pH optimum shifted from 7.4 to 9.5 when cytochrome c was used instead of ferricyanide. The Km values for sulfite and AMP were reduced from 2.5 mM and 100 μM to 17 μM and 2.5 μM, respectively, with cytochrome c as electron acceptor. Properties of the T. thioparus enzyme were compared to those of APS reductase isolated from Thiobacillus denitrificans and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Initial Binding

A fluorescence method is described for direct measurement of the interaction between methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) and its electron acceptor cytochrome cL. This has permitted a distinction to be made between factors affecting electron transfer and those affecting the initial binding or docking process. It was confirmed that the initial interaction is electrostatic, but previous conclusions with respect to the mechanism of EDTA inhibition have been modified. It is proposed that the initial ‘docking’ of MDH and cytochrome cL is by way of ionic interactions between lysyl residues on its surface and carboxylate groups on the surface of cytochrome cL. This interaction is not inhibited by EDTA, which we suggest acts by binding to nearby lysyl residues, thus preventing movement of the ‘docked’ cytochrome to its optimal position for electron transfer, which probably involves interaction with the hydrophobic funnel in the surface of MDH.

Cytochromes cH and cL were autoreduced at high pH (pK greater than 10) and the autoreduced cytochromes reacted with CO. The autoreduction was first-order with respect to oxidized cytochrome c and was reversible by lowering the pH. Pure methanol dehydrogenase reduced cytochrome c (in the absence of methanol) by lowering the pK for autoreduction to less than 8.5. A mechanism is proposed for the autoreduction of cytochrome c and its involvement in the reaction with methanol dehydrogenase.

Glycollate Dehydrogenase

Mitochondria were isolated by gradient centrifugation on linear sucrose gradients from broken cell suspensions of phototrophically grown Euglena gracilis. An antimycin A-sensitive but rotenone-insensitive glycollate-dependent oxygen uptake was demonstrated in isolated mitochondria. The partial reactions of glycollate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase were demonstrated by using Euglena cytochrome c as exogenous electron acceptor/donor. Isolated mitochondria contain glycollate dehydrogenase and glyoxylate-glutamate aminotransferase and oxidize exogenous glycine. A P:O ratio of 1.7 was obtained for glycollate oxidation, consistent with glycollate electrons entering the Euglena respiratory chain at the flavoprotein level. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to photorespiration in algae.
