We have undertaken a spectral deconvolution of the three FADs of EtfAB/bcd to the spectral changes seen in the course of reduction, including the spectrally distinct anionic and neutral semiquinone states of electron-transferring and bcd flavins. We also demonstrate that, unlike similar systems, no charge-transfer complex is observed on titration of the reduced M. elsdenii EtfAB with NAD⁺. Finally, and significantly, we find that removal of the et FAD from EtfAB results in an uncrossing of the half-potentials of the bifurcating FAD that remains in the protein, as reflected in the accumulation of substantial FAD•⁻ in the course of reductive titrations of the depleted EtfAB with sodium dithionite.
