Relaxation characteristics of the Na-23 nuclei magnetization were used to determine the sodium-binding properties of the Na+-translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase from Vibrio harveyi (NQR). The dissociation constant of Na+ for the oxidized enzyme was found to be 24 mM and for the reduced enzyme about 30 mu M. Such large (3 orders in magnitude) redox dependence of the NQR affinity to sodium ions shows that the molecular machinery was designed to use the drop in redox energy for creating an electrochemical sodium gradient. Redox titration of NQR monitored by changes in line width of the Na-23 NMR signal at 2 mM Na+ showed that the enzyme affinity to sodium ions follows the Nernst law for a one-electron carrier with E-m about -300 mV (vs SHE). The data indicate that energy conservation by NQR involves a mechanism modulating ion affinity by the redox state of an enzyme redox cofactor.
