Abstract:
Adrenodoxin stimulated the oxidation of NADPH by 1,4-benzoquinone, catalyzed by NADPH:adrenodoxin reductase. It prevented the enzyme inhibition by NADPH and formed an additional pathway of benzoquinone reduction presumably via reduced adrenodoxin. In the presence of 100-400 microM NADP+, which increased the Km of NADPH, adrenodoxin acted as a partial competitive inhibitor for NADPH decreasing its TN/Km by a limiting factor of 3. Ki of adrenodoxin decreased on the NADP+ concentration decrease and was estimated to be about 10(-8) M in the absence of NADP+.
