Clostridium acetobutylicum, an obligate anaerobe, grows normally under continuous-O-2-flow culture conditions, where the cells consume O-2 proficiently. An O-2-responsive NADH: rubredoxin oxidoreductase operon composed of three genes (nror, fprA2, and dsr), encoding NROR, functionally uncharacterized flavoprotein A2 (FprA2), and the predicted superoxide reductase desulfoferrodoxin (Dsr), has been proposed to participate in defense against O-2 stress. To functionally characterize these proteins, native NROR from C. acetobutylicum, recombinant NROR (rNROR), FprA2, Dsr, and rubredoxin (Rd) expressed in Escherichia coli were purified. Purified native NROR and rNROR both exhibited weak H2O2-forming NADH oxidase activity that was slightly activated by Rd. A mixture of NROR, Rd, and FprA2 functions as an efficient H2O-forming NADH oxidase with a high affinity for O-2 (the K-m for O-2 is 2.9 +/- 0.4 mu M). A mixture of NROR, Rd, and Dsr functions as an NADH-dependent O-2(-) reductase. A mixture of NROR, Rd, and rubperoxin (Rpr, a rubrerythrin homologue) functions as an inefficient H2O-forming NADH oxidase but an efficient NADH peroxidase with a low affinity for O-2 and a high affinity for H2O2 (the K(m)s for O-2 and H2O2 are 303 +/- 39 mu M and
