Pyruvate-dependent reduction of NADP has been demonstrated in cell extracts of the human gastric pathogenHelicobacter pylori.However, NADP is not a substrate of purified pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR), suggesting that other redox active enzymes mediate this reaction. Here we show thatfqrB(HP1164), which is essential and highly conserved among the epsilonproteobacteria, exhibits NADPH oxidoreductase activity. FqrB was purified by nickel interaction chromatography following overexpression inEscherichia coli. The protein contained flavin adenine dinucleotide and exhibited NADPH quinone reductase activity with menadione or benzoquinone and weak activity with cytochromec, molecular oxygen, and 5,5′-dithio-bis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB). FqrB exhibited a ping-pong catalytic mechanism, akcatof 122 s−1, and an apparentKmof 14 μM for menadione and 26 μM for NADPH. FqrB also reduced flavodoxin (FldA), the electron carrier of PFOR. In coupled enzyme assays with purified PFOR and FldA, FqrB reduced NADP in a pyruvate- and reduced coenzyme A (CoA)-dependent manner. Moreover, in the presence of NADPH, CO2, and acetyl-CoA, the PFOR:FldA:FqrB complex generated pyruvate via CO2fixation. PFOR was the rate-limiting enzyme in the complex, and nitazoxanide, a specific inhibitor of PFOR ofH. pyloriandCampylobacter jejuni, also inhibited NADP reduction in cell-free lysates. These capnophilic (CO2-requiring) organisms contain gaps in pathways of central metabolism that would benefit substantially from pyruvate formation via CO2fixation. Thus, FqrB provides a novel function in pyruvate metabolism and, together with production of superoxide anions via quinone reduction under high oxygen tensions, contributes to the unique microaerobic lifestyle that defines the epsilonproteobacterial group.
