The dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila. Comparison with dye-linked methanol dehydrogenases.

ABSTRACT: 1. A dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase was purified 20-fold from extracts of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila 10050 grown anaerobically in the light on methanol/HCO3-. 2. The enzyme resembled many previously reported methanol dehydrogenases from other methylotrophic organisms in coupling to phenazine methosulphate, requiring ammonia as an activator, possessing a pH optimum of 9 and a mol.wt. of approx. 116000. In many other respects the enzyme showed singular properties. 3. The stability of the enzyme under various conditions of temperature and pH was studied. 4. Primary aliphatic amines containing up to nine carbon atoms (the longest tested) were better activators than ammonia. 5. A wide range of primary alcohols and aldehydes served as substrates, with apparent Km values ranging from 57 mM for methanol to 6 micron for ethanol. 6. O2 was an inhibitor competitive with respect to the alcohol substrate. In the presence of O2, apparent Km values of 145 mM were recorded for methanol. 6. Cyanide and alphaalpha'-bipyridine were inhibitors competitive with respect to the amine activator. 7. The properties of the enzyme from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila are compared with those of similar enzymes from other organisms, and implications of the salient differences are discussed.

Structural aspects of the dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila.

Project description:1. A dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase was purified 60-fold from extracts of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila 10050 grown aerobically on ethanol. 2. The properties of this enzyme were identical with those of the alcohol dehydrogenase synthesized by this organism during growth on methanol anaerobically in the light, and they are judged to be the same enzyme. 3. The enzyme gave a single protein band, coincident with alcohol dehydrogenase activity, during electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. 4. The amino acid composition, ioselectric point, u.v. and visible absorption spectra of the enzyme were determined and compared with those of other similar enzymes. 5. The presence of 0.7--1.0 g-atom of non-haem, acidlabile iron/mol of enzyme was shown by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and colorimetric assay. The iron could not be dissociated from the enzyme by dialysis against chelating agents. 6. E.p.r. spectroscopy of the enzyme did not indicate any redox function for the iron during alcohol dehydrogenation, but showed a signal at g = 2.00 consistent with the presence of a protein-bound organic free radical. 8. Antisera were raised against alcohol (methanol) dehydrogenases purified from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila, Paracoccus denitrificans and Methylophilus methylotrophus. 9. The antiserum to the Rhodopseudomonas acidophila enzyme cross-reacted with neither of the two other antisera, nor with crude extracts of methanol-grown Hyphomicrobium X and Pseudomonas AM1, thus emphasizing its singular biochemical properties.

Alcohol Dehydrogenases, Aldehyde Dehydrogenases, and Alcohol Use Disorders: A Critical Review.

Project description:Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are complex traits, meaning that variations in many genes contribute to the risk, as does the environment. Although the total genetic contribution to risk is substantial, most individual variations make only very small contributions. By far the strongest contributors are functional variations in 2 genes involved in alcohol (ethanol [EtOH]) metabolism. A functional variant in alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) is protective in people of European and Asian descent, and a different functional variant in the same gene is protective in those of African descent. A strongly protective variant in aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is essentially only found in Asians. This highlights the need to study a wide range of populations. The likely mechanism of protection against heavy drinking and AUDs in both cases is alteration in the rate of metabolism of EtOH that at least transiently elevates acetaldehyde. Other ADH and ALDH variants, including functional variations in ADH1C, have also been implicated in affecting drinking behavior and risk for alcoholism. The pattern of linkage disequilibrium in the ADH region and the differences among populations complicate analyses, particularly of regulatory variants. This critical review focuses upon the ADH and ALDH genes as they affect AUDs.

Beyond alcohol oxidase: the methylotrophic yeast Komagataella phaffii utilizes methanol also with its native alcohol dehydrogenase Adh2.

Project description:Methylotrophic yeasts are considered to use alcohol oxidases to assimilate methanol, different to bacteria which employ alcohol dehydrogenases with better energy conservation. The yeast Komagataella phaffii carries two genes coding for alcohol oxidase, AOX1 and AOX2. The deletion of the AOX1 leads to the MutS phenotype and the deletion of AOX1 and AOX2 to the Mut- phenotype. The Mut- phenotype is commonly regarded as unable to utilize methanol. In contrast to the literature, we found that the Mut- strain can consume methanol. This ability was based on the promiscuous activity of alcohol dehydrogenase Adh2, an enzyme ubiquitously found in yeast and normally responsible for ethanol consumption and production. Using 13C labeled methanol as substrate we could show that to the largest part methanol is dissimilated to CO2 and a small part is incorporated into metabolites, the biomass, and the secreted recombinant protein. Overexpression of the ADH2 gene in K. phaffii Mut- increased both the specific methanol uptake rate and recombinant protein production, even though the strain was still unable to grow. These findings imply that thermodynamic and kinetic constraints of the dehydrogenase reaction facilitated the evolution towards alcohol oxidase-based methanol metabolism in yeast.

Spectroscopy on individual light-harvesting 1 complexes of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila.

Project description:In this paper the fluorescence-excitation spectra of individual LH1-RC complexes (Rhodopseudomonas acidophila) at 1.2 K are presented. All spectra show a limited number of broad bands with a characteristic polarization behavior, indicating that the excitations are delocalized over a large number of pigments. A significant variation in the number of bands, their bandwidths, and polarization behavior is observed. Only 30% of the spectra carry a clear signature of delocalized excited states of a circular structure of the pigments. The large spectral variety suggests that besides site heterogeneity also structural heterogeneity determines the optical spectrum of the individual LH1-RC complexes. Further research should reveal if such heterogeneity is a native property of the complex or induced during the experimental procedures.

Role of aldehyde dehydrogenases, alcohol dehydrogenase 1B genotype, alcohol consumption, and their combination in breast cancer in East-Asian women.

Project description:The associations between genetic polymorphisms in ADH1B (rs1229984) and ALDH2 (rs671), alcohol consumption, the effect of a combination of the two polymorphisms, and breast cancer risk were studied in a population of East-Asian women. In this study, 623 breast cancer cases and 1845 controls, aged 40 or above, were included. The association between ALDH2 polymorphism and breast cancer risk was validated in 2143 breast cancer cases and 3977 controls. Alcohol consumption increased the risk of breast cancer regardless of ADH1B and ALDH2 genotypes. The rs671 polymorphism of ALDH2 was independently associated with increased breast cancer risk (OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.02-1.58 per increment of A). The ADH1B rs1229984 polymorphism, and combined effects of the rs671 and rs1229984 polymorphisms, did not reveal any significant association with breast cancer. Stratification by menopausal status revealed that rs671 gene polymorphisms were significantly associated with breast cancer only in postmenopausal women (OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.03-2.05 per increment of A). This is the first study to demonstrate an independent association between ALDH2 gene variants and breast cancer in Asian women. Further studies are warranted to further elucidate the etiology of breast cancer as it relates to alcohol consumption in Asian women.

A new alcohol dehydrogenase, reactive towards methanol, from Bacillus stearothermophilus.

Project description:An NAD+-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) was purified to homogeneity from an aerobic strain of Bacillus stearothermophilus, DSM 2334 (ADH 2334), and compared with the ADH from B. stearothermophilus NCA 1503 (ADH 1503). When an antibody raised against ADH 2334 was used, no cross-reactivity with ADH 1503 was observed on Western blots; by means of an enzyme-linked-immunoabsorbent-assay ('e.l.i.s.a.') procedure, it was found that ADH 1503 had less than 6% of the antigenic activity of ADH 2334. Amino acid analyses detected very small differences in composition, equivalent to about 40 sequence changes, between the two enzymes. The new enzyme has the same six-amino-acid N-terminal sequence as ADH 1503. ADH 2334, but not ADH 1503, is reactive towards methanol; both enzymes can oxidize ethanol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol and butan-2-ol. The new enzyme has a distinctive pH optimum at pH 5.5-6 and has significantly lower KEthanolm and kEthanolcat. values than those of ADH 1503. From steady-state kinetic parameters of the reaction with ethanol, propan-1-ol and butan-1-ol, it was shown that ADH 2334 has an ordered mechanism in both directions, with NAD+ being the compulsory first substrate in alcohol oxidation and NADH release being the rate-limiting step. ADH 1503 has an ordered addition of NAD+ and alcohol, but NADH release is not rate-limiting.

Crystal structure of novel dye-linked L-proline dehydrogenase from hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix.

Project description:Two types of dye-linked L-proline dehydrogenase (PDH1, α4β4-type hetero-octamer, and PDH2, αβγδ-type heterotetramer) have been identified so far in hyperthermophilic archaea. Here, we report the crystal structure of a third type of L-proline dehydrogenase, found in the aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix, whose structure (homodimer) is much simpler than those of previously studied L-proline dehydrogenases. The structure was determined at a resolution of 1.92 Å. The asymmetric unit contained one subunit, and a crystallographic 2-fold axis generated the functional dimer. The overall fold of the subunit showed similarity to that of the PDH1 β-subunit, which is responsible for catalyzing L-proline dehydrogenation. However, the situation at the subunit-subunit interface of the A. pernix enzyme was totally different from that in PDH1. The presence of additional surface elements in the A. pernix enzyme contributes to a unique dimer association. Moreover, the C-terminal Leu(428), which is provided by a tail extending from the FAD-binding domain, shielded the active site, and an L-proline molecule was entrapped within the active site cavity. The K(m) value of a Leu(428) deletion mutant for L-proline was about 800 times larger than the K(m) value of the wild-type enzyme, although the k(cat) values did not differ much between the two enzymes. This suggests the C-terminal Leu(428) is not directly involved in catalysis, but it is essential for maintaining a high affinity for the substrate. This is the first description of an LPDH structure with L-proline bound, and it provides new insight into the substrate binding of LPDH.

Mechanism of methanol oxidation by quinoprotein methanol dehydrogenase.

Project description:At neutral pH, oxidation of CH(3)OH --> CH(2)O by an o-quinone requires general-base catalysis and the reaction is endothermic. The active-site -CO(2)(-) groups of Glu-171 and Asp-297 (Glu-171-CO(2)(-) and Asp-297-CO(2)(-)) have been considered as the required general base catalysts in the bacterial o-quinoprotein methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) reaction. Based on quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations, the free energy for MeOH reduction of o-PQQ when MeOH is hydrogen bonded to Glu-171-CO(2)(-) and the crystal water (Wat1) is hydrogen bonded to Asp-297-CO(2)(-) is DeltaG++ = 11.7 kcal/mol, which is comparable with the experimental value of 8.5 kcal/mol. The calculated DeltaG++ when MeOH is hydrogen bonded to Asp-297-CO(2)(-) is >50 kcal/mol. The Asp-297-CO(2)(-)...Wat1 complex is very stable. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on MDH.PQQ.Wat1 complex in TIP3P water for 5 ns does not result in interchange of Asp-297-CO(2)(-) bound Wat1 for a solvent water. Starting with Wat1 removed and MeOH hydrogen bonded to Asp-297-CO(2)(-), we find that MeOH returns to be hydrogen bonded to Glu-171-CO(2)(-) and Asp-297-CO(2)(-) coordinates to Ca(2+) during 3 ns simulation. The Asp-297-CO(2)(-)...Wat1 of reactant complex does play a crucial role in catalysis. By QM/MM calculation DeltaG++ = 1.1 kcal/mol for Asp-297-CO(2)(-) general-base catalysis of Wat1 hydration of the immediate CH(2)==O product --> CH(2)(OH)(2). By this means, the endothermic oxidation-reduction reaction is pulled such that the overall conversion of MeOH to CH(2)(OH)(2) is exothermic.
