A study of the pH- and temperature-dependence of the reactions of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase with ethanol, acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde as substrates.

ABSTRACT: The kinetics of ethanol oxidation by NAD+, and acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde reduction by NADH, catalysed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, were studied in the pH range 4.9--9.9 at 25 degrees C and in the temperature range 14.8--43.5 degrees C at pH 7.05. The kinetics of reduction of acetaldehyde by [4A-2H]NADH at pH 7.05 and pH 8.9 at 25 degrees C were also studied. The results of the kinetic experiments indicate that the mechanism of catalysis, previously proposed on the basis of studies at pH 7.05 and 25 degrees C (Dickinson & Monger, 1973), applies over the wide range of conditions now tested. Values of some of the initial-rate parameters obtained were used to deduce information about the pH- and temperature-dependence of the specific rates of combination of enzyme and coenzymes and of the dissociation of the enzyme--coenzyme compounds. Primary and secondary plots of initial-rate data are deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50043 (20 pages) with the British Library (Lending Division), Boston Spa, Wetherby, Yorks.

Inhibition by ethanol, acetaldehyde and trifluoroethanol of reactions catalysed by yeast and horse liver alcohol dehydrogenases.

Project description:1. Produced inhibition by ethanol of the acetaldehyde-NADH reaction, catalysed by the alcohol dehydrogenases from yeast and horse liver, was studied at 25 degrees C and pH 6-9. 2. The results with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase are generally consistent with the preferred-pathway mechanism proposed previously [Dickenson & Dickinson (1975) Biochem. J. 147, 303-311]. The observed hyperbolic inhibition by ethanol of the maximum rate of acetaldehyde reduction confirms the existence of the alternative pathway involving an enzyme-ethanol complex. 3. The maximum rate of acetaldehyde reduction with horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase is also subject to hyperbolic inhibition by ethanol. 4. The measured inhibition constants for ethanol provide some of the information required in the determination of the dissociation constant for ethanol from the active ternary complex. 5. Product inhibition by acetaldehyde of the ethanol-NAD+ reaction with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase was examined briefly. The results are consistent with the proposed mechanism. However, the nature of the inhibition of the maximum rate cannot be determined within the accessible range of experimental conditions. 6. Inhibition of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase by trifluoroethanol was studied at 25 degrees C and pH 6-10. The inhibition was competitive with respect to ethanol in the ethanol-NAD+ reaction. Estimates were made of the dissociation constant for trifluoroethanol from the enzyme-NAD+-trifluoroethanol complex in the range pH6-10.

The reactions of 1,10-phenanthroline with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase.

Project description:Freshly prepared samples of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) were inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline at pH 7.0 and 0 degrees C in a two-stage process. The first step appeared to be slowly established, but was rendered reversible by removal of reagent or by addition of excess Zn2+ ions. The second step was irreversible and was associated with the dissociation of the tetrameric enzyme. The presence of saturating concentrations of NAD+ or NADH promoted and enhanced inhibition by the slowly established reversible process, but prevented dissociation of the enzyme. For the incubation mixtures containing NAD+, removal of the 1,10-phenanthroline resulted in virtually complete recovery of activity, whereas, for the incubation mixtures containing NADH, removal of the reagent gave only partial re-activation. The presence of NAD+ and pyrazole, or NADH and acetamide, in incubation mixtures with the enzyme gave rise to ternary complexes that gave protection against both forms of inactivation by 1,10-phenanthroline. The results support the view that at least some of the Zn2+ ions associated with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase have a catalytic, as opposed to a purely structural, role.

The metabolism of ethanol-derived acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) in Drosophila melanogaster larvae.

Project description:Both aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH, EC 1.2.1.3) and the aldehyde dehydrogenase activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, EC 1.1.1.1) were found to coexist in Drosophila melanogaster larvae. The enzymes, however, showed different inhibition patterns with respect to pyrazole, cyanamide and disulphiram. ALDH-1 and ALDH-2 isoenzymes were detected in larvae by electrophoretic methods. Nonetheless, in tracer studies in vivo, more than 75% of the acetaldehyde converted to acetate by the ADH ethanol-degrading pathway appeared to be also catalysed by the ADH enzyme. The larval fat body probably was the major site of this pathway.

Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase structure and catalysis.

Project description:Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) alcohol dehydrogenase I (ADH1) is the constitutive enzyme that reduces acetaldehyde to ethanol during the fermentation of glucose. ADH1 is a homotetramer of subunits with 347 amino acid residues. A structure for ADH1 was determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.4 Å resolution. The asymmetric unit contains four different subunits, arranged as similar dimers named AB and CD. The unit cell contains two different tetramers made up of "back-to-back" dimers, AB:AB and CD:CD. The A and C subunits in each dimer are structurally similar, with a closed conformation, bound coenzyme, and the oxygen of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol ligated to the catalytic zinc in the classical tetrahedral coordination with Cys-43, Cys-153, and His-66. In contrast, the B and D subunits have an open conformation with no bound coenzyme, and the catalytic zinc has an alternative, inverted coordination with Cys-43, Cys-153, His-66, and the carboxylate of Glu-67. The asymmetry in the dimeric subunits of the tetramer provides two structures that appear to be relevant for the catalytic mechanism. The alternative coordination of the zinc may represent an intermediate in the mechanism of displacement of the zinc-bound water with alcohol or aldehyde substrates. Substitution of Glu-67 with Gln-67 decreases the catalytic efficiency by 100-fold. Previous studies of structural modeling, evolutionary relationships, substrate specificity, chemical modification, and site-directed mutagenesis are interpreted more fully with the three-dimensional structure.

N-acylethanolamines as novel alcohol dehydrogenase 3 substrates.

Project description:N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) are members of the fatty acid amide family. The NAEs have been proposed to serve as metabolic precursors to N-acylglycines (NAGs). The sequential oxidation of the NAEs by an alcohol dehydrogenase and an aldehyde dehydrogenase would yield the N-acylglycinals and/or the NAGs. Alcohol dehydrogenase 3 (ADH3) is one enzyme that might catalyze this reaction. To define a potential role for ADH3 in NAE catabolism, we synthesized a set of NAEs and evaluated these as ADH3 substrates. NAEs were oxidized by ADH3, yielding the N-acylglycinals as the product. The (V/K)(app) values for the NAEs included here were low relative to cinnamyl alcohol. Our data show that the NAEs can serve as alcohol dehydrogenase substrates.

The pH-dependence of pepsin-catalysed reactions.

Project description:1. The pH-dependence of the pepsin-catalysed hydrolysis of three peptide substrates was studied by using a method for the continuous monitoring of the formation of ninhydrin-positive products. 2. Two peptide acid substrates, N-acetyl-l-phenylalanyl-l-phenylalanine and N-acetyl-l-phenylalanyl-l-phenylalanyl-glycine, show apparent pK(a) values of 1.1 and 3.5 in the plots of k(0)/K(m) versus pH. By contrast a neutral substrate, N-acetyl-l-phenylalanyl-l-phenylalanine amide, shows apparent pK(a) values of 1.0 and 4.7. 3. Together with the data of the preceding paper (Knowles, Sharp & Greenwell, 1969), these results are taken to indicate that the rate of pepsin-catalysed hydrolysis is controlled by the ionization of two groups, which on the free enzyme have apparent pK(a) values of 1.0 and 4.7. It is apparent that the anions of peptide acid substrates are not perceptibly bound to the enzyme, resulting in apparent pK(a) values of 3.5 for the dependence of k(0)/K(m) for these materials.

Dependence of crystallographic atomic displacement parameters on temperature (25-150 K) for complexes of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase.

Project description:Enzymes catalyze reactions by binding and orienting substrates with dynamic interactions. Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes hydrogen transfer with quantum-mechanical tunneling that involves fast motions in the active site. The structures and B factors of ternary complexes of the enzyme with NAD+ and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl alcohol or NAD+ and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol were determined to 1.1-1.3 Å resolution below the `glassy transition' in order to extract information about the temperature-dependent harmonic motions, which are reflected in the crystallographic B factors. The refinement statistics and structures are essentially the same for each structure at all temperatures. The B factors were corrected for a small amount of radiation decay. The overall B factors for the complexes are similar (13-16 Å2) over the range 25-100 K, but increase somewhat at 150 K. Applying TLS refinement to remove the contribution of pseudo-rigid-body displacements of coenzyme binding and catalytic domains provided residual B factors of 7-10 Å2 for the overall complexes and of 5-10 Å2 for C4N of NAD+ and the methylene carbon of the alcohols. These residual B factors have a very small dependence on temperature and include local harmonic motions and apparently contributions from other sources. Structures at 100 K show complexes that are poised for hydrogen transfer, which involves atomic displacements of ∼0.3 Å and is compatible with the motions estimated from the residual B factors and molecular-dynamics simulations. At 298 K local conformational changes are also involved in catalysis, as enzymes with substitutions of amino acids in the substrate-binding site have similar positions of NAD+ and pentafluorobenzyl alcohol and similar residual B factors, but differ by tenfold in the rate constants for hydride transfer.

Role of alcohol dehydrogenase activity and the acetaldehyde in ethanol- induced ethane and pentane production by isolated perfused rat liver.

Project description:The volatile hydrocarbons ethane and n-pentane are produced at increased rates by isolated perfused rat liver during the metabolism of acutely ethanol. The effect is half-maximal at 0.5 mM-ethanol, and its is not observed when inhibitors of alcohol dehydrogenase such as 4-methyl- or 4-propyl-pyrazole are also present. Propanol, another substrate for the dehydrogenase, is also active. Increased alkane production can be initiated by adding acetaldehyde in the presence of 4-methyl- or 4-propyl-pyrazole. An antioxidant, cyanidanol, suppresses the ethanol-induced alkane production. The data obtained with the isolated organ demonstrate that products known to arise from the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids are formed in the presence of ethanol and that the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase is required for the generation of the active radical species. The mere presence of ethanol, e.g. at binding sites of special form(s) of cytochrome P-450, it not sufficient to elicit an increased production of volatile hydrocarbons by rat liver.

Pharmacological recruitment of aldehyde dehydrogenase 3A1 (ALDH3A1) to assist ALDH2 in acetaldehyde and ethanol metabolism in vivo.

Project description:Correcting a genetic mutation that leads to a loss of function has been a challenge. One such mutation is in aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), denoted ALDH2*2. This mutation is present in ? 0.6 billion East Asians and results in accumulation of toxic acetaldehyde after consumption of ethanol. To temporarily increase metabolism of acetaldehyde in vivo, we describe an approach in which a pharmacologic agent recruited another ALDH to metabolize acetaldehyde. We focused on ALDH3A1, which is enriched in the upper aerodigestive track, and identified Alda-89 as a small molecule that enables ALDH3A1 to metabolize acetaldehyde. When given together with the ALDH2-specific activator, Alda-1, Alda-89 reduced acetaldehyde-induced behavioral impairment by causing a rapid reduction in blood ethanol and acetaldehyde levels after acute ethanol intoxication in both wild-type and ALDH2-deficient, ALDH2*1/*2, heterozygotic knock-in mice. The use of a pharmacologic agent to recruit an enzyme to metabolize a substrate that it usually does not metabolize may represent a novel means to temporarily increase elimination of toxic agents in vivo.
