The flavin mononucleotide in complex I (NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase) catalyzes NADH oxidation, O(2) reduction to superoxide, and the reduction of several 'artificial' electron acceptors. Here, we show that the positively-charged electron acceptors paraquat and hexaammineruthenium(III) react with the nucleotide-bound reduced flavin in complex I, by an unusual ternary mechanism. NADH, ATP, ADP and ADP-ribose stimulate the reactions, indicating that the positively-charged acceptors interact with their negatively-charged phosphates. Our mechanism for paraquat reduction defines a new mechanism for superoxide production by complex I (by redox cycling); in contrast to direct O(2) reduction the rate is stimulated, not inhibited, by high NADH concentrations.
