호기적으로 자란 Bacillus cereus KCTC 3674로 부터 조제된 막은 NADH만을 산화하고, deamino-NADH는 거의 산화하지 않았다. 호홉쇄와 연계된 NADH oxidase계는 $K_m$ 값이 약 65 ${\mu}M$이였다. 한편, NADH oxidase계 중 NADH: menadione oxidoreductase의 효소학적 특성이 조사되었다. NADH: menadione oxidoreductase의 최고활성은 0.1 M KCl (또는 NaCl) 존재 하에서 pH 9.5에서 얻어졌다. NADH: menadione oxidoreductase의 활성은 rotenone, capsaicin, $AgN0_3$와 같은 호흡저해제에 매우 저항적이였다. 그러나 매우 흥미롭게도 NADH: menadione oxidoreductase의 활성은 HQNO (2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide)와 같은 저해제에 의해서는 오히려 촉진되어 졌다.

The enzymatic properties of NADH:quinone oxidoreductase were examined in Triton X-100 extracts of Bacillus cereus membranes by using the artificial electron acceptors ubiquinone-1 and menadione. Membranes were prepared from B. cereus KCTC 3674 grown aerobically on a complex medium and oxidized with NADH exclusively, whereas deamino-NADH was determined to be poorly oxidized. The NADH oxidase activity was lost completely by solubilization of the membranes with Triton X-100. However, by using the artificial electron acceptors ubiquinone-1 and menadione, NADH oxidation could be observed. The activities of NADH:ubiquinone-1 and NADH:menadione oxidoreductase were enhanced approximately 8-fold and 4-fold, respectively, from the Triton X-100 extracted membranes. The maximum activity of FAD-dependent NADH:ubiquinone-1 oxidoreductase was obtained at about pH 6.0 in the presence of 0.1M NaCl, while the maximum activity of FAD-dependent NADH:menadione oxidoreductase was obtained at about pH 8.0 in the presence of 0.1M NaCl. The activities of the NADH:ubiquinone-1 and NADH:menadione oxidoreductase were very resistant to such respiratory chain inhibitors as rotenone, capsaicin, and $AgNO_3$, whereas these activities were sensitive to 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (HQNO). Based on these results, we suggest that the aerobic respiratory chain-linked NADH oxidase system of B. cereus KCTC 3674 possesses an HQNO-sensitive NADH:quinone oxidoreductase that lacks an energy coupling site containing FAD as a cofactor.
