Project description:Initial-rate measurements were made of the oxidations of pyridine-3-methanol and glycerol by NADP+ and of the reduction of the corresponding aldehydes by NADPH catalysed by pig kidney aldehyde reductase. In addition, a brief survey of the specificity of the enzyme towards aldehyde substrates and its sensitivity to the inhibitors ethacrynic acid, sodium barbitone and warfarin was made. The detailed kinetic work indicates a compulsory mechanism for aldehyde reduction, with NADPH binding before aldehyde. For alcohol oxidation, however, it is necessary to postulate the formation of kinetically significant amounts of binary complexes of the type enzyme-alcohol to explain the results. Thus, for alcohol oxidation random-order addition of substrates may occur. Inhibition studies of the kinetics of aldehyde reduction in the presence of the corresponding alcohol product provide further evidence for the existence of enzyme-alcohol complexes. Finally, detailed kinetic studies were made of the inhibition of pyridine-3-aldehyde reduction by sodium barbitone. The mechanism of the inhibition is discussed.

Project description:Initial-rate studies of the low-Km aldehyde reductase-catalysed reduction of pyridine-3-aldehyde by NADPH gave families of parallel double-reciprocal plots, consistent with a double-displacement mechanism being obeyed. Studies on the variation of the initial velocity with the concentration of a mixture of the two substrates were also consistent with a double-displacement mechanism. In contrast, the initial-rate data indicated that a sequential mechanism was followed when NADH was used as the coenzyme. Product-inhibition studies, however, indicated that a compulsory-order mechanism was followed in which NADPH bound before pyridine-3-aldehyde with a ternary complex being formed and the release of pyrid-3-ylcarbinol before NADP+. The apparently parallel double-reciprocal plots obtained in the initial-rate studies with NADPH and pyridine-3-aldehyde were thus attributed to the apparent dissociation constant for the binary complex between the enzyme and coenzyme being finite but very low.

Project description:Aldehyde reductase from ox kidney cytosol has been fractionated into four forms, two of which have been purified to apparent homogeneity. One of the minor forms is shown to be heterogenous on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The substrate specificities of the four forms using a variety of aldehydes and ketones are presented. The sensitivity of the various forms to inhibition by sodium valproate, sodium barbitone and various benzodiazepines has been determined. The relationship of these forms to the previously described hexonate dehydrogenase, aldose reductase and prostaglandin dehydrogenase is discussed.

Project description:An improved procedure for purifying aldehyde reductase is described. Utilization of Blue Dextran--Sepharose 4B and elimination of hydroxyapatite chromatography greatly improves the yield and ease of purification. Starting with 340 g of kidney tissue (two pig kidneys) approx. 50 mg of purified reductase may be routinely and reproducibly obtained. The purified reductase was used to establish the kinetic reaction mechanism of the enzyme. Initial-velocity analysis and product-inhibition data revealed that pig kidney aldehyde reductase follows an Ordered Bi Bi reaction mechanism in which NADPH binds first before D-glyceraldehyde. The limiting Michaelis constants for D-glyceraldehyde and NADPH were 4.8 +/- 0.7 mM and 9.1 +/- 2.1 micrometer respectively. The mechanism is similar to that of another monomeric oxidoreductase, octopine dehydrogenase, towards which aldehyde reductase exhibits several similarities, but differs from that of other aldehyde reductases. Phenobarbital is a potent inhibitor of aldehyde reductase, inhibiting both substrate and cofactor non-competitively (Ki = 80.4 +/- 10.5 micrometer and 66.9 +/- 1.6 micrometer respectively). Barbiturate inhibition seems to be a common property of NADPH-dependent aldehyde reductases.

Project description:The distribution of the two principal isoenzymes of aldehyde reductase (EC 1.1.1.2) has been studied in ox brain. The more active of these, which has been termed the high-Km enzyme, has been shown to be located in the cytosol and the less abundant low-Km form has a similar localization. p-Nitrobenzaldehyde, which has been used as a substrate in previous studies, caused the reduction of NADH in the presence of the mitochondrial fraction, but mixed substrate experiments with 1,3-dinitrobenzene and the effects of pH on the activity indicate that this is due to the presence of a nitro reductase activity which has been recently described (Köchli, Wermuth & von Wartburg (1980) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 616, 133-142] rather than to the low-Km aldehyde reductase activity. Fractionation of the mitochondria indicated this activity to be largely confined to the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Project description:Aldehyde reductase (aldose reductase) was purified to homogeneity (as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis) from bovine lens by affinity chromatography on NADP+-Sepharose. The enzyme, a monomer of Mr about 40000, was active with a variety of alpha- hydroxyketones , including fructose. The minimum degree of the rate equation was 2:2 in the case of DL-glyceraldehyde, but linear kinetics were observed for glucose and NADPH over the concentration range studied. The enzyme largely followed a ternary-complex mechanism, with initial binding of NADPH before glucose and final release of NADP+.

Project description:Aldehyde reductase was purified from pig kidney cortex to homogeneity by a new procedure. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated by sedimentation equilibrium to be 43 700 and by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate to be 41 700. The enzyme is clearly a monomer. The enzyme preparation contained no significant quantities of zinc, manganese or copper and had no essential histidine or thiol groups. Changes in the absorption and fluorescence spectra of NADPH were observed on formation of the enzyme-NADPH complexes. Large changes in the fluorescence spectra were also observed in the presence of sodium barbitone or Warfarin. These changes were used as the basis of active-site titrations, which showed that the enzyme had one active site per molecule. The dissociation constants of NADPH and NADP+ from binary complexes with the enzyme were estimated in spectrophotometric titrations.

Project description:The liver, kidney and spleen of the mouse and rat and the kidney and spleen of the ox express a monomeric form of biliverdin reductase (Mr 34,000), which in the case of the ox kidney enzyme exists in two forms (pI 5.4 and 5.2) that are probably charge isomers. The livers of the mouse and rats express, in addition, a protein (Mr 46,000) that cross-reacts with antibodies raised against the ox kidney enzyme and may be related to form 2 described by Frydman, Tomaro, Awruch & Frydman [(1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 759, 257-263]. Higher-Mr forms appear to exist in the guinea pig and hamster. The ox kidney enzyme has three thiol groups, of which two are accessible to 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) in the native enzyme. Immunocytochemical analysis reveals that biliverdin reductase is localized in proximal tubules of the inner cortex of the rat kidney. Biliverdin reductase antiserum also stains proximal tubules in human and ox kidney. The staining of podocytes in glomeruli of ox kidney with antiserum to aldose reductase is particularly prominent. The localization of biliverdin reductase in the inner cortical zone of rat kidney is similar to that described for glutathione S-transferase YfYf, and it is suggested that one function of this 'intracellular binding protein' may be to maintain a low free concentration of biliverdin to allow biliverdin reductase to operate efficiently.

Project description:The kinetic mechanism of guinea-pig lung carbonyl reductase was studied at pH 7 in the forward reaction with five carbonyl substrates and NAD(P)H and in the reverse reaction with propan-2-ol and NAD(P)+. In each case the enzyme mechanism was sequential, and product-inhibition studies were consistent with a di-iso ordered bi bi mechanism, in which NAD(P)H binds to the enzyme first and NAD(P)+ leaves last and the binding of cofactor induces isomerization. The kinetic and binding studies of the cofactors and several inhibitors such as pyrazole, benzoic acid, Cibacron Blue and benzamide indicate that the cofactor and Cibacron Blue bind to the free enzyme whereas the other inhibitors bind to the binary and/or ternary complexes.

Project description:Dihydrofolate reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtDHFR) catalyzes the NAD(P)-dependent reduction of dihydrofolate, yielding NAD(P)(+) and tetrahydrofolate, the primary one-carbon unit carrier in biology. Tetrahydrofolate needs to be recycled so that reactions involved in dTMP synthesis and purine metabolism are maintained. In this work, we report the kinetic characterization of the MtDHFR. This enzyme has a sequential steady-state random kinetic mechanism, probably with a preferred pathway with NADPH binding first. A pK(a) value for an enzymic acid of approximately 7.0 was identified from the pH dependence of V, and the analysis of the primary kinetic isotope effects revealed that the hydride transfer step is at least partly rate-limiting throughout the pH range analyzed. Additionally, solvent and multiple kinetic isotope effects were determined and analyzed, and equilibrium isotope effects were measured on the equilibrium constant. (D(2)O)V and (D(2)O)V/K([4R-4-(2)H]NADH) were slightly inverse at pH 6.0, and inverse values for (D(2)O)V([4R-4-(2)H]NADH) and (D(2)O)V/K([4R-4-(2)H]NADH) suggested that a pre-equilibrium protonation is occurring before the hydride transfer step, indicating a stepwise mechanism for proton and hydride transfer. The same value was obtained for (D)k(H) at pH 5.5 and 7.5, reaffirming the rate-limiting nature of the hydride transfer step. A chemical mechanism is proposed on the basis of the results obtained here.
