NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase
A flavoprotein. The enzyme catalyses a two-electron reduction and has a preference for short-chain acceptor quinones, such as ubiquinone, benzoquinone, juglone and duroquinone [6]. The animal, but not the plant, form of the enzyme is inhibited by dicoumarol.
shows noncompetitive inhibition in all conditions, it can bind to multiple enzyme forms or sites, even when either of the substrates (NADH or benzoquinone) is present at high concentrations
noncompetitive inhibition with either substrate when the other substrate is at low concentrations. At high NADH concentrations, NAD and benzoquinone are competitive, indicating they bind to a common site or sites
the product inhibition pattern expected if WrbA follows a ping pong mechanism is that the pairs NAD/BQ and NADH/BQH2 display competitive inhibition, whereas the pairs NAD/NADH and BQ/BQH2 display non-competitive inhibition
WrbA steady-state kinetics, overview. Initial velocity as a function of either NADH or benzoquinone concentration present one or two Michaelis-Menten phases depends on the temperature at which the enzyme is held prior to assay. The effect of temperature is reversible, suggesting an intramolecular conformational process
three subunits of the tetrameric enzyme contribute to each of four identical, cavernous active sites that appear to accommodate NAD(P)H or various quinones, but not simultaneously, suggesting an obligate tetramer with a ping-pong mechanism in which NAD departs before oxidized quinone binds
