  text: Two strains of Rhodospirillum rubrum were constructed in which, by a gene
    dosage effect, the transhydrogenase activity of isolated chromatophores was increased
    7-10-fold and 15-20-fold, respectively. The H+/H- ratio (the ratio of protons
    translocated per hydride ion equivalent transferred from NADPH to an NAD+ analogue,
    acetyl pyridine adenine dinucleotide), determined by a spectroscopic technique,
    was approximately 1.0 for chromatophores from the over-expressing strains, but
    was only approximately 0.6 for wild-type chromatophores. Highly-coupled proteoliposomes
    were prepared containing purified transhydrogenase from beef-heart mitochondria.
    Using the same technique, the H+/H- ratio was close to 1.0 for these proteoliposomes.
    It is suggested that the mechanistic H+/H- ratio is indeed unity, but that a low
    ratio is obtained in wild-type chromatophores because of inhomogeneity in the
    vesicle population.

  text: Transhydrogenase from beef-heart mitochondria was solubilised with Triton
    X-100 and purified by column chromatography. The detergent-dispersed enzyme catalysed
    the reduction of acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide (AcPdAD+) by NADH, but only
    in the presence of NADP+. Experiments showed that this reaction was cyclic; NADP(H),
    whilst remaining bound to the enzyme, was alternately reduced by NADH and oxidised
    by AcPdAD+. A period of incubation of the enzyme with NADPH at pH 6.0 led to inhibition
    of the simple transhydrogenation reaction between AcPdAD+ and NADPH. However,
    after such treatment, transhydrogenase acquired the ability to catalyse the (NADPH-dependent)
    reduction of AcPdAD+ by NADH. It is suggested that this is a similar cycle to
    the one described above. Evidently, the binding affinity for NADP+ increases as
    a consequence of the inhibition process resulting from prolonged incubation with
    NADPH. The pH dependences of simple and cyclic transhydrogenation reactions are
    described. Though more complex than those in Escherichia coli transhydrogenase,
    they are consistent with the view [Hutton, M., Day, J.M., Bizouarn, T. and Jackson,
    J.B. (1994) Eur. J. Biochem. 219, 1041–10511] that, also in the mitochondrial
    enzyme, binding the release of NADP+ and NADP are accompanied by binding and release
    of a proton. The enzyme was successfully reconstituted into liposomes by a cholate
    dilution procedure. The proteoliposomes catalysed cyclic NADPH-dependent reduction
    of AcPdAD+ by NADH only when they were tightly coupled. However, they catalysed
    cyclic NADP+-dependent reduction of AcPdAD+ by NADH only when they were uncoupled
    eg. by addition of carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone. These observations
    are evidence that the proton binding and release which accompany NADP+ binding
    and release, respectively, take place on the inside of the vesicle, and that they
    are components of the electrogenic processes of the enzyme.

  text: Mitochondrial transhydrogenase has been reported previously to be inhibited
    by high, rather non-physiological concentrations (in the range of 2-20 mM) of
    divalent cations. We show that the enzyme could be activated by low (from about
    1 μM to 1 mM) concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+, which are within physiological
    range. These results bring in line the effects observed with mitochondrial enzyme
    to the findings with bacterial transhydrogenases. The activation of transhydrogenase
    by divalent cations is interpreted as an increase in affinity of the NADP(H)-binding
    site of the enzyme-NAD(H) complex. Reported effects of the metal ions could be
    important for the enzyme function in vivo.
