A homogeneous protein with a subunit apparent molecular mass of ∼50 kDa that catalyzes the previously described mitochondrial NADH-supported ammonium-stimulated hydrogen peroxide production (Grivennikova, V.G., Gecchini, G. and Vinogradov, A.D. (2008) FEBS Lett. 583, 1287-1291) was purified from the mitochondrial matrix of bovine heart. Chromatography of partially purified protein showed that the peaks of ammonium-stimulated NADH-dependent H(2)O(2) production and that of NADH:lipoamide oxidoreductase activity coincided. The catalytic properties and mass spectrometry of the trypsin-digested protein revealed peptides that allowed identification of the protein as the Bos taurus dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase.

Pesticides can seriously affect the respiratory chain of the mitochondria of many crops, reducing the intensity of plant growth and its yield. Studying the effect of pesticides on the bioenergetic parameters of intact plant mitochondria is a promising approach for assessing their toxicity. In this study, we investigated the effect of some pesticides on isolated potato mitochondria, which used exogenous NADH as a substrate for respiration.

While thermotolerance is an attractive trait for yeasts used in industrial ethanol production, oxygen requirements of known thermotolerant species are incompatible with process requirements. Analysis of oxygen-sufficient and oxygen-limited chemostat cultures of the facultatively fermentative, thermotolerant species Ogataea parapolymorpha showed its minimum oxygen requirements to be an order of magnitude larger than those reported for the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. High oxygen requirements of O.

Linuron is one of the most intensively used herbicides with predictable effects on the environment and non-target organisms. In the present study, two in vitro biological models (a Bacillus sp. and rat liver mitochondria) were used to evaluate linuron toxicity at a cell/subcellular level.

Membrane-bound respiratory complex I in inside-out submitochondrial particles (SMP) catalyzes both superoxide and hydrogen peroxide formation in NADH- and/or succinate-supported reactions. At optimal NADH concentration (50μM), the complex I-mediated process results in a formation of two superoxide anions and H(2)O(2) as the reaction products in approximately 0.7 ratio.

The rates of NADH-supported superoxide/hydrogen peroxide production by membrane-bound bovine heart respiratory complex I, soluble pig heart dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLDH), and by accompanying operation of these enzymes in rat heart mitochondrial matrix were measured as a function of the pool of pyridine nucleotides and its redox state. Each of the activities showed nontrivial dependence on nucleotide pool concentration. The NAD(+)/NADH ratios required for their half maximal capacities were determined.
