【 摘 要 】

Washed membrane or cytoplasmic fractions of the methanogenic bacterium strain Göl catalyzed the oxidation of coenzyme F₄₂₀H₂ with a variety of electron acceptors. The F₄₂₀H₂-oxidizing activity of the cytoplasmic fraction could be assigned to a NADP⁺:F₄₂₀ oxidoreductase. The membrane fraction but not the cytoplasmic fraction catalyzed the oxidation of F₄₂₀H₂ with the concomitant reduction of the heterodisulfide of 2-mercapto-ethanesulfonate and 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate (CoM-S-S-HTP) at a rate of 100 protein according to the following equation: F₄₂₀H₂+CoM-S-S-HTP → F₄₂₀ + CoM + HTP-SH. The activity depended linearly on the membrane protein up to a concentration of 60 The physiological electron acceptor CoM-S-S-HTP could not be replaced by the corresponding homodisulfides CoM-S-S-CoM and HTP-S-S-HTP or by NADP⁺. A membrane-bound F₄₂₀H₂-dependent CoM-S-S-HTP reductase was also detected in Methanolobus tindarius exhibiting a specific activity of 75 protein. The absence of a F₄₂₀-dependent hydrogenase in this organism excludes the involvement of this enzyme in electron transfer from H₄₂₀H₂ to CoM-S-S-HTP.
