title: Photodependent inhibition of rat liver NAD(P)H:quinone acceptor oxidoreductase by (A)-2-azido-NAD+ and (A)-8-azido-NAD.
abstract: Two photoaffinity analogues of NAD+, (A)-2-azido-NAD+ [nicotinamide 2-azidoadenine dinucleotide] and (A)-8-azido-NAD+ [nicotinamide 8-azidoadenine dinucleotide], have been synthesized, and their reactivities with the rat liver NAD(P)H:quinone acceptor oxidoreductase have been investigated. The reduce nicotinamide nucleotide probes, (A)-2-azido-NADH and (A)-8-azido-NADH, were shown to be substrates of the quinone reductase. This enzyme was inhibited by (A)-8-azido-NADH, were shown to be substrates of the quinone reductase. This enzyme was inhibited by (A)-2-azido-NAD+ and (A)-8-azido-NAD+ in a photodependent manner, and the inhibition of the enzyme could be prevented by the presence of nicotinamide nucleotide substrates during photolysis. (A)-2-Azido-NAD+ was demonstrated to be a more potent inhibitor than (A)-8-azido-NAD+. In addition, the photodependent inhibition by (A)-8-azido-NAD+ increased when menadione, the substrate of the enzyme, was present during the photolysis, while menadione protected the enzyme from the photodependent inhibition by (A)-2-azido-NAD+. These results indicate that these two NAD+ analogues can be used to identify the nicotinamide nucleotide binding site of this quinone reductase and that they probably bind to the enzyme in different fashions.
