High-molecular-mass proteins from pea (Pisum sativum) mitochondrial matrix retained on an XM-300 Diaflo membrane (''matrix extract'') exhibited high rates of glycine oxidation in the presence of NAD+ and tetrahydropteroyl-L-glutamic acid (H4folate) as long as the medium exhibited a low ionic strength. Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) (4 .times. 53 kDa) and the four proteins of the glycine-cleavage system, including a pyridoxal phosphate-containing enzyme (''P-protein''; 2 .times. 97 kDa), a carrier protein containing covalently bound lipoic acid (''H-protein''; 15.5 kDa), a protein exhibiting lipoamide dehydrogenase activity (''L-protein''; 2 .times. 61 kDa) and an H4folate-dependent enxyme (''T-protein''; 45 kDa) have been purified to apparent homogeneity from the matrix extract by using gel filtration, ion-exchange and phenyl-Superose fast protein liquid chromatography. Gel filtration of Sephacryl S-300 in the presence of 50 mM-KCl proved to be the key step in disrupting this complex. During the course of glycine oxidation catalysed by the matrix extract a steady-state equilibrium in the production and utilization of 5,10-methylene-H4folate was reached, suggesting that glycine cleavage and SHMT are linked together via a soluble pool of H4folate. The rate of glycine oxidation catalysed by the matrix extract was sensitive to the NADH/NAD+ molar ratios, because NADH competitively inhibited the reaction catalysed by lipoamide dehydrogenase.
