We have inactivated the nuclear gene coding for a
putative NAD(P)H dehydrogenase from the inner membrane of
Neurospora crassa mitochondria by repeat-induced point
mutations. The respiratory rates of mitochondria from the resulting
mutant (nde-1) were measured, using NADH or NADPH as
substrates under different assay conditions. The results showed that
the mutant lacks an external calcium-dependent NADPH
dehydrogenase. The observation of NADH and NADPH oxidation by intact
mitochondria from the nde-1 mutant suggests the existence of a second external NAD(P)H dehydrogenase. The topology of the NDE1
protein was further studied by protease accessibility, in vitro import experiments, and in silico analysis of
the amino acid sequence. Taken together, it appears that most of the
NDE1 protein extends into the intermembrane space in a tightly folded conformation and that it remains anchored to the inner mitochondrial membrane by an N-terminal transmembrane domain.
