Type II NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (NDH-2) catalyzes the transfer electrons from NADH to the quinone pool and plays an essential role in the oxidative phosphorylation system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The absence of NDH-2 in the mammalian mitochondrial electron transport chain makes this enzyme an attractive target for antibiotic development. To fully establish the kinetic properties of this enzyme, we studied the interaction of Mtb NDH-2 with substrates, NADH, and various quinone analogues and their products in both membrane and soluble environments. These studies, and comparative analyses of the kinetics with thio-NAD+ and quinone electron acceptors, provided evidence that Mtb NDH-2 catalyzes the transfer electrons from NADH to quinone substrates by a nonclassical, two-site ping-pong kinetic mechanism whereby substrate quinones bind to a site that is distinct from the NADH-binding site. Furthermore, the effects of quinols on Mtb NDH-2 catalytic activity demonstrate the presence of two binding sites for quinone ligands, one favoring the reduced form and the other favoring the oxidized form.
