While the function of cytochrome b2 is to couple L-lactate dehydrogenation to cytochrome c reduction; the mutant ARG289LYS is changing the kinetics of the reactions. It is rising the Ki of several components in comparison to the wild-type, while kcat and KM are also changed by a factor of 10. It changes also the induction by L-lactate.

Flavocytochrome b(2) is a tetrameric enzyme [Jacq and Lederer, 1972]. Each of the four identical subunits is composed by one single polypeptide chain.
Each subunit contains a binding site for the selectively non-covalently binding of the cofactor FM3- (FlavinMonoNucleotide),
The amino acid sequence in the heme binding region was first determined by Guidard et al. (1974).
For every subunit the crystallized preparation analysis determined a molecular weight of the chain of 36 kD [Appleby and Morton] and the chain of 21 kD [Jacq and Lederer, 1974].
