Description

Respiratory-chain NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.5.3)
[2]
(also known as complex I or NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is an oligomeric enzymatic complex located in the inner mitochondrial membrane which also seems to exist in the chloroplast and in cyanobacteria (as a NADH-plastoquinone oxidoreductase). Among the 25 to 30 polypeptide subunits of this bioenergetic enzyme complex there is one with a molecular weight of 24 Kd (in mammals), which is a component of the iron-sulfur (IP) fragment of the enzyme. It seems to bind a 2Fe-2S iron-sulfur cluster. The 24 Kd subunit is nuclear encoded, as a precursor form with a transit peptide in mammals, and in Neurospora crassa. The 24 Kd subunit is highly similar to

: - Subunit E of Escherichia coli NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (gene nuoE). - Subunit NQO2 of Paracoccus denitrificans NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase. As as signature pattern we selected a highly conserved region, located in the central section of this subunit and which contains two conserved cysteines that are probably involved in the binding of the 2Fe-2S center.
