The interaction of dinitrogenase reductase-activating glycohydrolase (DRAG) with bacterial membranes and the solubilization of DRAG in response to nucleotides were characterized. Purified DRAG fromRhodospirillum rubrumreversibly bound bacterial pellet fractions fromRsp. rubrumand other nitrogen-fixing bacteria. DRAG saturated the membrane fraction ofRsp. rubrumat a concentration of 0.2 mol DRAG/mol bacteriochlorophyll, suggesting that the DRAG-binding species is prevalent in the membrane. DRAG bound poorly to phospholipid vesicles, suggesting a protein requirement for DRAG interaction with the membrane. Guanosine and uridine tri- and di-nucleotides specifically dissociated DRAG from the pellet fractions ofRsp. rubrumandAzotobacter vinelandii, while adenosine nucleotides had no dissociative effect. Guanosine 5′-triphosphate dissociated DRAG from the membrane at a concentration causing 50% dissociation (EC50) of 5.0 ± 0.5 mM; guanosine disphosphate had an EC50of 15.0 ± 2.0 mM. We propose that GTP is a potential participant in the regulation of DRAG, possibly controlling the extent of DRAG association with the membrane.
