title: NADP+ phosphatase: a novel mitochondrial enzyme.
abstract: Mitochondria contain a NADP+ phosphatase in the matrix space. This is shown by both incubation of mitochondria and subfractions derived thereof with added NADP+ and by analysis of endogenous pyridine nucleotides after enzymatic oxidation in Ca2+-loaded mitochondria. The apparent KM for NADP+ is about 1.2 mM. NADPH is not a substrate. The enzyme may be important for modulation of posttranslational modification of macromolecules in mitochondria.
