title: The occurrence of a novel NADH dehydrogenase, distinct from the old yellow enzyme, in Gluconobacter strains.
abstract: A novel NADH dehydrogenase (NADH-dh) involving FAD as coenzyme, distinct from NADPH dehydrogenase (NADPH-dh, old yellow enzyme, EC 1.6.99.1), was found in the same cytoplasmic fraction of Gluconobacter strains. Conventional artificial electron acceptors were more effective than molecular oxygen in the NADH-dh reaction. NADH-dh did not appear to be identical with any previously described flavoproteins, although the N-terminal amino acid sequence showed 100% similarity with a non-heme chloroperoxidase. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of NADPH-dh matched 100% a putative oxidoreductase containing the old yellow enzyme-like FMN-binding domain. NADH-dh might function to regenerate NAD coupling with NAD-dependent dehydrogenases in the cytoplasm of Gluconobacter strains.
