Sled' VD, Zinich VN, Kotliar AB: [One- and two-electron reduction of ubiquinone homologs by NADH- dehydrogenase preparations from the mitochondrial respiratory chain]. Biokhimiia. 1989 Sep;54(9):1571-5.
The mechanism of ubiquinone homologs reduction by different preparations of mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase: complex I within submitochondrial particles, isolated NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase and soluble low molecular weight NADH dehydrogenase, has been investigated. It has been shown that NADH oxidation via the rotenone-insensitive reaction is associated with one-electron reduction of low molecular weight ubiquinone homologs (Q0, Q1, Q2) to semiquinone with subsequent fast oxidation of the latter by atmospheric oxygen to form a superoxide radical. The two-electron ubiquinone reduction to quinol in the rotenone-sensitive reaction is unaccompanied by the semiquinone release from the enzyme active center into the surrounding solution. |
