NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.2) purified from rat liver cytosol revealed three discrete bands, of mol.wts. about 27000, 18000 and 9000, when subjected to polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. Elution of the bands from the gel and individual re-electrophoresis on separate gels showed that the 27000-mol.wt. band yielded three bands similar to those obtained with the intact enzyme, whereas the 18000-mol.wt. band retained its characteristic mobility. Amino acid analysis of native enzyme and protein extracted from each of the three bands from sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gels suggests that the native enzyme is composed of two subunits and that each subunit consists of two dissimilar non-covalently bound polypeptides, so that altogether the enzyme is composed of four polypeptides, two of mol.wt. 18000 and two of mol.wt. 9000. NAD(P)H dehydrogenase was active over a wide pH range with no sharp optimum. The same K(m) value for NADH but different values for V(max.) were obtained for the enzyme purified from Sprague-Dawley and Wistar rats. In immunodiffusion, however, the enzymes from the two rat strains showed a reaction of complete identity. NAD(P)H dehydrogenase was effectively inhibited by thiol-blocking reagents, indicating that the activity is dependent on free thiol group(s). By amino acid analysis six cysteine residues were found per mol of enzyme. Guanidino-group- and amino-group-selective reagents had only moderate inactivating effects on the enzyme activity.
