The L-malate-NAD+ oxidoreductase of Methanospirillum hungatii was purified to homogeneity by using Blue Sepharose and ADP-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The molecular weight was estimated as 61 700 +/- 1900 by gel filtration and 64 200 +/- 1200 by ultracentrifugation. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis indicated that the protein is composed of two polypeptide chains, each corresponding to 31 350 +/- 2150 daltons. Inhibition patterns obtained for malate, alpha-oxoglutarate and ADP established that the sequential reaction mechanism was ordered, with NADH serving as the first substrate. Intracellular concentrations of oxaloacetate approximated the Km value of 27 microM, but NADH was present at less than Km values. Comparison of the amino-acid composition of the L-malate-NAD+ oxidoreductase of M. hungatii and 22 others from prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells revealed a significant direct relationship between average hydrophobicity and the frequency of non-polar side chains, as well as a significant indirect relationship between average hydrophobicity and the polarity ratio. Calculations based on amino-acid-composition data indicated significant composition similarity between pairs of mammalian-cytoplasmic or pairs of mitochondrial L-malate-NAD+ oxidoreductases from various sources, but no significant composition similarity between any of the pairs of bacterial species examined.
