RESUMO
Quinones inactivate oxidized glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) from yeast with rate constants (ki) ranging from 0.03 M-1s-1 (p-benzoquinone) to 10(3) M-1s-1 (bromanyl). It is glutathione, but not NADP+ that protects the enzyme from inactivation, which shows that quinones interact with a glutathione-binding centre, cysteine-2, most probably. The mechanism of inactivation by quinones differs from that by nitrosoureas which inactivate only the reduced enzyme, modifying the reduced catalytic disulphide. 1,3-bis-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea acts as the most rapid inactivator of the enzyme, possessing ki of 0.77 M-1s-1.

The interaction of fungal quinone pigments bostricoidin, fusarubin, javanicin, and 2-oxyjuglone with mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone reductase (complex I, EC 1.6.99.3) has been studied. The bimolecular rate constants (turnover number (TN)/Km) of rotenone-insensitive reduction of these compounds are in the range of 1.2 x 10(4)-1.6 x 10(5) M-1s-1. 2-Oxyjuglone acts as inhibitor of NADH:ferricyanide reductase reaction of complex I (KI = 30 microM). All quinone pigments, except javanicin, decrease the TN of reduction of 5,8-dioxy-1,4-naphtoquinone being reduced at its binding site but with significantly lower TN. They do not affect the rotenone-sensitive reduction of ubiquinone-1. The binding of quinone pigments close to the NADH and ferricyanide binding site is suggested. It seems that quinone pigments, especially 2-oxyjuglone, react with complex I faster than it follows from their approximate values of one-electron reduction potential calculated from their reactivities with flavocychrome b2 and adrenodoxin.

Studies of the acceptor reductase reaction of yeast glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) revealed that the competitive inhibitors for NADPH, 2',5'-ADP and Br- decrease the rate constants for the enzyme oxidation by ferricyanide, phenanthrene quinone, and juglone. A similar effect is observed when NADH which does not bind to the reduced enzyme is used as substrate. These observations support the hypothesis that non-physiological redox agents are reduced at the NADP(H)-binding center of glutathione reductase and that NADP(H) binding stimulates the reaction by displacing tyrosine-197 which protects FAD from the solvent.

The rotenone-insensitive reduction of quinones and aromatic nitrocompounds by mitochondrial NADH: ubiquinone reductase (complex I, EC 1.6.99.3) has been studied. It was found that these reactions proceed via a mixed one- and two-electron transfer. The logarithms of the bimolecular rate constants of oxidation (TN/Km) are proportional to the one-electron-reduction potentials of oxidizers. The reactivities of nitrocompounds are close to those of quinones. Unlike the reduction of ferricyanide, these reactions are not inhibited by NADH. However, they are inhibited by NAD+ and ADP-ribose, which also act as the mixed-type inhibitors for ferricyanide. TN/Km of quinones and nitrocompounds depend on the NAD+/NADH ratio, but not on NAD+ concentration. They are diminished by the limiting factors of 2.5-3.5 at NAD+/NADH greater than 200. It seems that rotenone-insensitive reduction of quinones and nitrocompounds takes place near the NAD+/NADH and ferricyanide binding site, and the inhibition is caused by induced conformational changes after the binding of NAD+ or ADP-ribose.

NADH acts as an incomplete competitive inhibitor for 5,8-dioxy-1,4-naphtoquinone during its rotenone-insensitive reduction by mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone reductase. NAD+ and ADP-ribose act as incomplete mixed-type inhibitors. Ki of NAD+ and NADH towards quinone are about one order less than towards ferricyanide. The bimolecular rate constant of the reduction of the enzyme by NADH in the quinone reductase reaction is about 2 times less than that of ferricyanide reductase reaction. These data indicate that the reduction site of 5,8-dioxy-1,4-naphtoquinone is close to NAD+/NADH and ferricyanide binding site. It seems that during the steady-state reduction of ferricyanide and 5,8-dioxy-1,4-naphtoquinone these oxidizers react with NADH:ubiquinone reductase reduced to different extents.

Nitrofurans inhibit the oxidation of NADPH by glutathione, catalyzed by yeast glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2). acting as uncompetitive incomplete inhibitors for NADPH and glutathione. The quinoline-substituted nitrofurans were the most effective inhibitors. These compounds increased the turnover numbers of enzyme at fixed concentrations of reduced glutathione, in the reverse reaction of glutathione reductase, but in most cases diminished the affinity of the enzyme for NAD+. Nitrofurans are weak one-electron oxidants of glutathione reductase. Their reactivity is close to that of p-quinones possessing the analoguous one-electron reduction potential (Cénas, N.K., Rakauskiené, G.A. and Kulys, J.J. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 973, 399-404), and reaction is stimulated by NADP+. It is assumed, that nitrofurans bind to the 'regulative' site of glutathione reductase (Karplus, P.A., Pai, E.F. and Schulz, G.E. (1989) Eur. J. Biochem. 178, 693-703).
