Abstract
The isolation and partial characterization of a flavoprotein which functions as the electron acceptor of trimethylamine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.7) from a methylotrophic bacterium is described. It has a molecular weight of 77,000 and is composed of two dissimilar subunits. All preparations examined contained only 1 mol of FAD/mol of the flavoprotein. Trimethylamine dehydrogenase, in the presence of trimethylamine or dithionite, reduced the flavoprotein to a stable anionic semiquinone form. No evidence for the participation of the fully reduced flavoprotein in catalysis could be obtained.Entities:
