Abstract
Paracoccus denitrificans synthesizes a methylamine dehydrogenase that contains a covalently bound form of pyrroloquinoline quinone as a prosthetic group [Husain, M., and Davidson, V. L. (1987) J. Bacteriol. 169, 1712-1717]. Anaerobic reductive titration of this enzyme with dithionite proceeded through a semiquinone intermediate with spectral properties quite distinct from those of the oxidized and reduced species. From these data the molar extinction coefficients were calculated at various wavelengths for the three redox states of this enzyme. The semiquinone was slowly reoxidized under aerobic conditions. The fully reduced enzyme was stable in the presence of oxygen and slowly reoxidized by ferricyanide. Reductive titration of methylamine dehydrogenase with methylamine proceeded directly to the fully reduced form of the enzyme without detectable formation of the semiquinone. Electrochemical titrations of the enzyme yielded an overall midpoint potential value for the two-electron couple (fully oxidized/fully reduced) of 100 .+-. 4 mV and an n value of 2.15 .+-. 0.15.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
