Formate dehydrogenase, a component activity of 2 alternative electron transport pathways in anaerobic E. coli was resolved as 2 distinguishable enzymes. One, which was induced with nitrate reductase as a component of the formate-nitrate reductase pathway, used phenazine methosulfate (PMS) in preference to benzyl viologen (BV) as an artificial electron acceptor and appeared to be exclusively membrane-bound. A 2nd formate dehydrogenase, which was induced as a component of the formate hydrogenlyase pathway, appeared to exist both as a membrane-bound form and as a cytoplasmic enzyme; the cytoplasmic activity was resolved completely from the PMS-linked activity on a sucrose gradient. When E. coli was grown in the presence of 75Se-selenite, a 110,000 dalton selenopeptide, previously shown to be a component of the PMS-linked enzyme, was induced and repressed with this activity. In contrast, an 80,000 dalton selenopeptide was induced and repressed with the BV-linked activity and exhibited a distribution similar to the BV-linked formate dehydrogenase in cell fractions and in sucrose gradients. The 2 formate dehydrogenases are apparently distinguishable on the basis of their artificial electron acceptor specificity, their cellular localization and the size of their respective selenoprotein components.
