Submitochondrial particles (SMP) were produced from Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) mitochondria by sonication and differential centrifugation. The SMP were .apprx. 50% inside-out as measured by the access of reduced cytochrome c to cytochrome c oxidase. Uncoupled NADH oxidation (1 mM NADH) by the SMP was 120 nmol O2 min-1 mg-1, which was reduced to 98 nmol O2 min-1 (mg mitochondrial protein)-1 in the presence of EGTA. The oxidation of NADH by intact mitochondria was completely inhibited by EGTA (from 182-14 nmol O2 min-1 mg-1). The EGTA-resistant NADH oxidation by the SMP is ascribed to the NADH dehydrogenase(s) on the inside of the inner membrane and exposed to the medium in the inside-out SMP. In the presence of EGTA 2 NADH dehydrogenase activities were present in the SMP. One had an apparent Km of 7 .mu.M for NADH, a Vmax of 80 nmol of NADH min-1 mg-1, and was rotenone-sensitive. This dehydrogenase is equivalent to the mammalian complex I NADH dehydrogenase. The other dehydrogenase, which was rotenone-resistant, had a Km of 80 .mu.M and a Vmax of 131 nmol NADH min-1 mg-1; it is probably responsible for the rotenone-resistant oxidation of organic acids often observed in plant mitochondria. The redox poise of the pyridine nucleotides had only a small effect on the relative rates of the 2 internal dehydrogenases. Electron flow through these dehydrogenases appears to be regulated mainly by the concentration of NADH in the matrix of the mitochondria.
