The vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NAD(P)H by biomembranes is a superoxide-initiated free radical chain reaction.

Abstract:

:Rat liver microsomes catalyze a vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NAD(P)H, which is augmented by paraquat and suppressed by superoxide dismutase, but not by catalase. NADPH oxidation was a linear function of the concentration of microsomes in the absence of vanadate, but was a saturating function in the presence of vanadate. Microsomes did not catalyze a vanadate-stimulated oxidation of reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMNH), but gained this ability when NADPH was also present. When the concentration of NMNH was much greater than that of NADPH a minimal average chain length could be calculated from 1/2 the ratio of NMNH oxidized per NADPH added. The term chain length, as used here, signifies the number of molecules of NMNH oxidized per initiating event. Chain length could be increased by increasing [vanadate] and [NMNH] and by decreasing pH. Chain lengths in excess of 30 could easily be achieved. The Km for NADPH, arrived at from saturation of its ability to trigger NMNH oxidation by microsomes in the presence of vanadate, was 1.5 microM. Microsomes or the outer mitochondrial membrane was able to catalyze the vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NADH or NADPH but only the oxidation of NADPH was accelerated by paraquat. The inner mitochondrial membrane was able to cause the vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NAD(P)H and in this case paraquat stimulated the oxidation of both pyridine coenzymes. Our results indicate that vanadate stimulation of NAD(P)H oxidation by biomembranes is a consequence of vanadate stimulation of NAD(P)H or NMNH oxidation by O-2, rather than being due to the existence of vanadate-stimulated NAD(P)H oxidases or dehydrogenases.
