Abstract

A homogeneous protein with a subunit apparent molecular mass of ∼50kDa that catalyzes the previously described mitochondrial NADH-supported ammonium-stimulated hydrogen peroxide production (Grivennikova, V.G., Gecchini, G. and Vinogradov, A.D. (2008) FEBS Lett. 583, 1287–1291) was purified from the mitochondrial matrix of bovine heart. Chromatography of partially purified protein showed that the peaks of ammonium-stimulated NADH-dependent H2O2 production and that of NADH:lipoamide oxidoreductase activity coincided. The catalytic properties and mass spectrometry of the trypsin-digested protein revealed peptides that allowed identification of the protein as the Bos taurus dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase.
