摘要
The F420H2:quinone oxidoreductase from the sulfate-reducing archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus is encoded by the fqo gene cluster which comprises 11 genes (fqo J, K, M, L, N, A, BC, D, H, I, F). The last gene of the cluster, fqoF, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The purified subunit was able to oxidize reduced cofactor F-420 using the electron-acceptor system methyl viologen plus metronidazole. The specific activity at 78 degrees C was 64 mu mol F420H2 oxidized.min(-1).(mg protein)(-1). The purified polypeptide contained 10.6 mol non-heme iron, 7.2 mol acid-labile sulfur and 0.7 mol FAD per mol protein. With the exception of fqoF, the deduced amino-acid sequences of all other genes show homologies to distinct subunits of NADH-quinone oxidoreductases from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Thus, it is concluded that the F420H2-dependent and the NADH-dependent enzyme are functional equivalents. Both proteins are the initial enzymes of membrane-bound electron-transport systems and are involved in energy conservation. In parallel with bacterial complex I, the F420H2:quinone oxidoreductase may be composed of three subcomplexes. FqoF functions as the input device adjusted to the oxidation of reduced cofactor F420H2, thereby replacing subunits of the input module of complex I that an not present in A. fulgidus. The subunits FqoB, FqoCD and FqoI may form the membrane-associated module and transfer electrons to the membrane-integral module. It is most likely that the last subcomplex is composed of FqoA, FqoH, FqoJ, FqoK, FqoL, FqoM and FqoN. All subunits are highly hydrophobic and are probably involved in the reduction of a special menaquinone with a fully reduced isoprenoid side chain present in the cytoplasmic membrane of A. fulgidus.
