[Properties and reaction mechanism of mitochondrial menadione reductase].
An isolation procedure of mitochondrial menadione reductase from rat liver using an ethanol-ether extraction for solubilization of the enzyme is described. The enzyme was purified 930-fold. The molecular weight of mitochondrial menadione reductase is 62,000. According to spectroscopic and enzymic analysis the prosthetic group of the enzyme was identified as FAD. Mitochondrial menadione reductase is inhibitied by dicumarol and p-chloromecuribenzoate. The enzyme is characterized by a group substrate specificity towards quinones. A high catalytic activity of menadione reductase towards 4-aniline-5-methoxy-1,2-benzoquinone (AMOBQ), and 4-N-(p-sulfoanilino)-5-methoxy-1,2-benzoquinone (AMOBQS) as acceptors was demonstrated. It was shown that the reduction of these orto-benzoquinones by NAD(P) H follows the "ping-pong" kinetics. The kinetic constants for NAD(P)H,AMOBQ and and AMOBQS were determined.
