RESUMO
Two membrane-bound hydrogenase isoenzymes present in Escherichia coli during anaerobic growth have been resolved. The isoenzymes are immunologically and electrophoretically distinct. The physically more abundant isoenzyme (hydrogenase 1) contains a subunit of Mr 64,000 and is not released from the membrane by exposure to either trypsin or pancreatin. The second isoenzyme (hydrogenase 2) apparently contributes the greater part of the membrane-bound hydrogen:benzyl viologen oxidoreductase activity and exists in two electrophoretic forms revealed by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel analysis. This isoenzyme is irreversibly inactivated at alkaline pH and gives rise to an active, soluble derivative when the membrane-bound enzyme is exposed to either trypsin or pancreatin. Both hydrogenase isoenzymes contain nickel.
