Bironaite DA, Cenas NK, Anusevicius ZJ, Medentsev AG, Akimenko VK, Usanov SA: Fungal quinone pigments as oxidizers and inhibitors of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone reductase. Arch Biochem Biophys. 1992 Sep;297(2):253-7.
The bimolecular rate constants (turnover number (TN)/Km) of rotenone-insensitive reduction of these compounds are in the range of 1.2 x 10 (4)-1.6 x 10 (5) M-1s-1. 2-Oxyjuglone acts as inhibitor of NADH:ferricyanide reductase reaction of complex I (KI = 30 microM).
It seems that quinone pigments, especially 2-oxyjuglone, react with complex I faster than it follows from their approximate values of one-electron reduction potential calculated from their reactivities with flavocychrome b2 and adrenodoxin. |
