A comparison of nitrophenyl esters and lactones as substrates of cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase.

ABSTRACT: 1. p-Nitrophenyl (PNP) acetate and propionate show a burst of p-nitrophenoxide release when their hydrolysis is catalysed by sheep liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase. This is not seen in the presence of NAD+ or NADH, implying a change in ratedetermining step. 2. 6-Nitrodihydrocoumarin (6-NDC) shows no burst of absorbance in the visible region. We propose that the pKa of the transient "reporter group' produced during the hydrolysis of this lactone is high (approx. 10) and that the incipient covalently linked p-nitrophenoxide moiety is protonated immediately on formation. The small burst seen in the hydrolysis of 5-nitro-2-coumaranone (5-NC) suggests that the pKa of its reporter group is about 8.5. 3. NADH markedly enhances the steady-state rate with the lactones. 5-NC shows a large rapid burst of colour development in the presence of NADH; this implies that NADH decreases the pKa of the reporter group to 7-7.5. 4. In the presence of NAD+, 5-NC and 6-NDC give an unusual "negative burst' in the stopped-flow traces. We propose that, under these circumstances, acylation of the enzyme is extremely fast and that the first event seen in the stopped-flow traces is protonation of the reporter group. NAD+ also greatly increases the steady-state rate. 5. With the lactones in the presence of NADH, the kcat value (nearly 6 s-1), a measure of the deacylation rate, is compatible with the single-site model for dehydrogenase and esterase activities.

Identification of a novel cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase allele, ALDH1A1*4.

Project description:This paper reports the identification of a novel cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 ( ALDH1A1 ) allele. One hundred and sixty-two Indo-Trinidadian and 85 Afro-Trinidadian individuals were genotyped. A novel ALDH1A1 allele, ALDH1A1*4 , was identified in an Indo-Trinidadian alcoholic with an A inserted at position -554 relative to the translational start site, +1. It was concluded that a wider cross-section of individuals needs to be evaluated in order to determine the representative frequency of the allele, and to see if it is associated with risk of alcoholism.

The action of cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase on methyl p-nitrophenyl carbonate and p-nitrophenyl dimethylcarbamate.

Project description:Cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase catalyses the hydrolysis of methyl p-nitrophenyl (PNP) carbonate at an appreciable rate that is markedly stimualted by NAD+ or NADH. The nuleotides accelerate the rate-limiting hydrolysis of the acyl-enzyme intermediate while slowing the observed burst of p-nitrophenoxide production. With PNP dimethylcarbamate the enzyme catalyses the slow release of approx. 1 molecule of p-nitrophenoxide per tetrameric enzyme molecule; during the reaction the enzyme becomes effectively inactivated, as the rate of hydrolysis of the acyl-enzyme is virtually zero. The presence of NAD+, NADH, propionaldehyde, chloral hydrate, diethylstilboestrol or disulfiram slows the reaction of enzyme with PNP dimethylcarbamate. The reaction appears to be dependent on a group of pKa 7.6, possibly a cysteine residue. The effect of PNP dimethylcarbamate on the dehydrogenase activity of the enzyme is consistent with there being a single type of active site for the enzyme's dehydrogenase and esterase activities. Steric and electronic factors that govern reaction of the enzyme with PNP substrates are discussed.

Inactivation of cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase via S-nitrosylation in ethanol-exposed rat liver.

Project description:Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) isozymes are critically important in the metabolism of acetaldehyde, thus preventing its accumulation after ethanol-exposure. We previously reported that mitochondrial ALDH2 could be inactivated via S-nitrosylation in ethanol-exposed rats. This study was aimed at investigating whether cytosolic ALDH1, with a relatively-low-Km value (11-18 microM) for acetaldehyde, could be also inhibited in ethanol-exposed rats. Chronic or binge ethanol-exposure significantly decreased ALDH1 activity, which was restored by addition of dithiothreitol. Immunoblot analysis with the anti-S-nitroso-Cys antibody showed one immunoreactive band in the immunoprecipitated ALDH1 only from ethanol-exposed rats, but not from pair-fed controls, suggesting S-nitrosylation of ALDH1. Therefore inactivation of ALDH1 via S-nitrosylation can result in accumulation of acetaldehyde upon ethanol-exposure.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase catalyses acetaldehyde formation from 4-nitrophenyl acetate and NADH.

Project description:Incubation of sheep liver cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase with the substrate 4-nitrophenyl [14C]acetate in the presence of NADH leads to the formation of 14C-labelled acetaldehyde. This observation strongly supports the idea that the esterase and dehydrogenase activities of the enzyme occur at the same site and involve the intermediacy of a common acyl-enzyme.

Kinetics of p-nitrophenyl pivalate hydrolysis catalysed by cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Project description:The effects of modifiers (NAD+, NADH, propionaldehyde, chloral hydrate, diethylstilboestrol and p-nitrobenzaldehyde) on the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl (PNP) pivalate (PNP trimethylacetate) catalysed by cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase are reported. In each case a different inhibition pattern is obtained to that observed when the substrate is PNP acetate; for example, propionaldehyde and chloral hydrate competitively inhibit the hydrolysis of PNP acetate, but are mixed inhibitors with PNP pivalate. The kinetic results can be rationalized in terms of different rate-determining steps: acylation of the enzyme in the case of the pivalate but acyl-enzyme hydrolysis for the acetate. This is confirmed by stopped-flow studies, in which a burst of p-nitrophenoxide is observed when the substrate is PNP acetate, but not when it is the pivalate. PNP pivalate inhibits the dehydrogenase activity of the enzyme competitively with the aldehyde substrate; this is most simply explained if the esterase and dehydrogenase reactions occur at a common enzymic site.

Studies on the mechanism of sheep liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Project description:The dissociation of the aldehyde dehydrogenase X NADH complex was studied by displacement with NAD+. The association reaction of enzyme and NADH was also studied. These processes are biphasic, as shown by McGibbon, Buckley & Blackwell [(1977) Biochem. J. 165, 455-462], but the details of the dissociation reaction are significantly different from those given by those authors. Spectral and kinetic experiments provide evidence for the formation of abortive complexes of the type enzyme X NADH X aldehyde. Kinetic studies at different wavelengths with transcinnamaldehyde as substrate provide evidence for the formation of an enzyme X NADH X cinnamoyl complex. Hydrolysis of the thioester relieves a severe quenching effect on the fluorescence of enzyme-bound NADH.

The binding of NADH to cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase after modification with p-nitrophenyl dimethylcarbamate.

Project description:Cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase may be modified by reaction with p-nitrophenyl dimethylcarbamate to give a stable E-X-CO-NMe2 species that is an analogue of the usual labile acyl-enzyme involved in the enzyme's reactions. [X is derived from an enzymic nucleophilic group.] This species still contains the tightly bound NADH that is present in the native enzyme. When further NADH binds to E-X-CO-NMe2 its fluorescence is enhanced over 4 times more than when it binds to unmodified enzyme; this fluorescence is completely unaffected by high propionaldehyde concentration and only slightly affected by p-nitrobenzaldehyde. The modified species has 1.0 NADH binding site in the absence of Mg2+ and 1.67 sites in its presence. The rate of dissociation of E-X-CO-NMe2.NADH is biphasic (k 3.4 and 1.8 min-1) and is considerably lower than that of E.NADH; the presence of Mg2+ slows the process even more (k 0.47 and 0.37 min-1). The implications of these studies towards a greater understanding of the nature of aldehyde dehydrogenase-catalysed reactions are discussed.

4-Nitrophenyl activated esters are superior synthons for indirect radiofluorination of biomolecules.

Project description:Indirect radiolabelling has for a long time been the mainstay strategy for radiofluorination of biomolecules. Acylation of biomolecules through the use of an 18F-labelled activated ester is a standard method for indirect radiolabelling. However, the preparation of 18F-labelled activated esters is typically a complex and multistep procedure. Herein, we describe the use of 4-nitrophenyl (PNP) activated esters to rapidly prepare 18F-labelled acylation synthons in one step. Furthermore, we present a comparative study of PNP activated esters and the commonly utilised 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorphenyl (TFP) activated esters under direct radiofluorination conditions and demonstrate their relative acylation behaviour. We demonstrate the superiority of PNP esters under direct radiofluorination conditions with favourable acylation kinetics.

Engineering an aldehyde dehydrogenase toward its substrates, 3-hydroxypropanal and NAD+, for enhancing the production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid.

Project description:3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) can be produced via the biological route involving two enzymatic reactions: dehydration of glycerol to 3-hydroxypropanal (3-HPA) and then oxidation to 3-HP. However, commercial production of 3-HP using recombinant microorganisms has been hampered with several problems, some of which are associated with the toxicity of 3-HPA and the efficiency of NAD+ regeneration. We engineered ?-ketoglutaric semialdehyde dehydrogenase (KGSADH) from Azospirillum brasilense for the second reaction to address these issues. The residues in the binding sites for the substrates, 3-HPA and NAD+, were randomized, and the resulting libraries were screened for higher activity. Isolated KGSADH variants had significantly lower Km values for both the substrates. The enzymes also showed higher substrate specificities for aldehyde and NAD+, less inhibition by NADH, and greater resistance to inactivation by 3-HPA than the wild-type enzyme. A recombinant Pseudomonas denitrificans strain with one of the engineered KGSADH variants exhibited less accumulation of 3-HPA, decreased levels of inactivation of the enzymes, and higher cell growth than that with the wild-type KGSADH. The flask culture of the P. denitrificans strain with the mutant KGSADH resulted in about 40% increase of 3-HP titer (53?mM) compared with that using the wild-type enzyme (37?mM).
