Abstract: | The subunit compositions of two types of NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complexes of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, NDH-1L and NDH-1M, were studied by two-dimensional blue-native/SDS-PAGE followed by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. Fifteen proteins were observed in NDH-1L including hydrophilic subunits (NdhH, -K, -I, -J, -M, and -N) and hydrophobic subunits (NdhA, -B, -E, -G, -D1, and -F1). In addition, NdhL and a novel subunit, Ssl1690 (designated NdhO), were shown to be components of this complex. All subunits mentioned above were present in the NDH-1M complex except NdhD1 and NdhF1. NdhL and Ssl1690 (NdhO) were homologous to hypothetical proteins encoded by genomic DNA in higher plants, suggesting that chloroplast NDH-1 complexes contain related subunits. Diagnostic sequence motifs were found for both NdhL and NdhO homologous proteins. Analysis of ndhL deletion mutant (M9) revealed the presence of assembled NDH-1L and NDH-1M complexes, but these complexes appear to be functionally impaired in the absence of NdhL. Both NDH-1 complexes were absent in the ndhB deletion mutant (M55). |
