title: Tween-20 activates and solubilizes the mitochondrial membrane-bound, calmodulin dependent NAD+ finase of Avena sativa L.
abstract: Among different treatments assayed, a mix of a nonionic detergent (5% Tween-20) with 0.5 m NaCl was found to solubilize a large part of the calmodulin-dependent NAD+ kinase bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane. It also stimulated its activity by increasing 7 times the maximal velocity. Activity stimulation was also observed with phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and with reductants (HSO3 and DTT). This solubilized NAD+ kinase and the calmodulin-dependent cytosoluble isoform displayed distinct molecular masses, as well as different kinetic parameters. We propose that solubilization of membrane-bound NAD+ kinase could occur in vivo in Avena sativa and could generate a soluble isoform.
