| Abstract | NADH–quinone (Q) oxidoreductase is a large and complex redox proton pump, which utilizes the free energy derived from oxidation of NADH with lipophilic electron/proton carrier Q to translocate protons across the membrane to generate an electrochemical proton gradient ( $$(\Delta \tilde \mu_{H^+})$$ ). Although its molecular mechanism is largely unknown, recent biochemical, biophysical, and molecular biological studies have revealed that particular subunits and cofactors play an essential role in the energy-coupling reaction. Based on these latest experimental data, we exhaustively analyzed the sequence information available from evolutionarily related enzymes such as [NiFe] hydrogenases. We found significant and conserved sequence differences in the PSST/Nqo6/NuoB, 49kDa/Nqo4/NuoD, and ND1/Nqo8/NuoH subunit homologs between complex I/NDH-1 and [NiFe] hydrogenases. The alterations, especially in the postulated ligand motif for cluster N2 in the PSST/Nqo6/NuoB subunits, appear to be evolutionarily important in determining the physiological function of complex I/NDH-1. These observations led us to propose a hypothetical evolutionary scheme: during the course of evolution, drastic changes have occurred in the putative cluster N2 binding site in the PSST/Nqo6/NuoB subunit and the progenitors of complex I/NDH-1 have concurrently become to utilize a lipophilic electron/proton carrier such as Q as its physiological substrate. This scheme provides new insights into the structure and function relationship of complex I/NDH-1 and may help us understand its energy-coupling mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
