Disease relevance of ndh

  • The yjlD (renamed ndh) gene of Bacillus subtilis is predicted to encode an enzyme similar to the NADH dehydrogenase II of Escherichia coli, encoded by the ndh gene [1].
  • The structure of the multifunctional NAD(P)H dehydrogenase type 1 (NDH-1) complexes from cyanobacteria was investigated by growing the wild type and specific ndh His-tag mutants of Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1 under different CO(2) conditions, followed by an electron microscopy (EM) analysis of their purified membrane protein complexes [2].
 

High impact information on ndh

  • Footprint studies indicated that FNR proteins lacking essential cysteine residues are impaired in their ability to protect FNR sites in the ndh promoter [3].
  • The ndh gene regulates expression of the yjlC-ndh operon, as indicated by the fact that mutation in ndh causes a higher NADH/NAD(+) ratio [1].
  • NADH dehydrogenase-2 (NDH-2) from Escherichia coli respiratory chain is a membrane-bound cupric-reductase encoded by ndh gene [4].
  • A mutant strain complemented with ndh gene almost recovered the parental phenotype for growing in copper limitation or excess [4].
  • Here, we report that the respiratory system of a ndh deficient strain suffered a faster inactivation than that of the parental strain in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide due to endogenous copper [4].
