Liver Aldehyde Dehydrogenase

The hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate catalysed by cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) from sheep liver was studied by steady-state and transient kinetic techniques. NAD+ and NADH stimulated the steady-state rate of ester hydrolysis at concentrations expected on the basis of their Michaelis constants from the dehydrogenase reaction. At higher concentrations of the coenzymes, both NAD+ and NADH inhibited the reaction competitively with respect to 4-nitrophenyl acetate, with inhibition constants of 104 and 197 micron respectively. Propionaldehyde and chloral hydrate are competitive inhibitors of the esterase reaction. A burst in the production of 4-nitrophenoxide ion was observed, with a rate constant of 12 +/- 2s-1 and a burst amplitude that was 30% of that expected on the basis of the known NADH-binding site concentration. The rate-limiting step for the esterase reaction occurs after the formation of 4-nitrophenoxide ion. Arguments are presented for the existence of distinct ester- and aldehyde-binding sites.

Liver Aldehyde Dehydrogenase

Kinetic studies were carried out on mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) isolated from sheep liver. Steady-state studies over a wide range of acetaldehyde concentrations gave a non-linear double-reciprocal plot. The dissociation of NADH from the enzyme was a biphasic process with decay constants 0.6s-1 and 0.09s-1. Pre-steady-state kinetic data with propionaldehyde as substrate could be fitted by using the same burst rate constant (12 +/- 3s-1) over a wide range of propionaldehyde concentrations. The quenching of protein fluorescence on the binding of NAD+ to the enzyme was used to estimate apparent rate constants for binding (2 × 10(4) litre.mol-1.s-1) and dissociation (4s-1). The kinetic properties of the mitochondrial enzyme, compared with those reported for the cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase from sheep liver, show significant differences, which may be important in the oxidation of aldehydes in vivo.

Pyrophosphate ions activate the steady-state rate of oxidation of propionaldehyde by sheep liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase at alkaline pH values. The steps in the mechanism governing the release of NADH from terminal enzyme. NADH complexes have been shown to be rate-limiting at pH 7.6 [MacGibbon, Buckley & Blackwell (1977) Biochem J. 165, 455-462]. These steps are shown to be also rate-limiting at more alkaline pH values, and it is through an acceleration of these steps that pyrophosphate ions exert their activation effect.

1. Pre-modification of cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase by disulfiram results in the same extent of inactivation when the enzyme is subsequently assayed as a dehydrogenase or as an esterase. 2. 4-Nitrophenyl acetate protects the enzyme against inactivation by disulfiram, particularly well in the absence of NAD+. Some protection is also provided by chloral hydrate and indol-3-ylacetaldehyde (in the absence of NAD+). 3. When disulfiram is prevented from reacting at its usual site by the presence of 4-nitrophenyl acetate, it reacts elsewhere on the enzyme molecule without causing inactivation. 4. Enzyme in the presence of aldehyde and NAD+ is not at all protected against disulfiram. It is proposed that, under these circumstances, disulfiram reacts with the enzyme-NADH complex formed in the enzyme-catalysed reaction. 5. Modification by disulfiram results in a decrease in the amplitude of the burst of NADH formation during the dehydrogenase reaction, as well as a decrease in the steady-state rate. 6. 2,2′-Dithiodipyridine reacts with the enzyme both in the absence and presence of NAD+. Under the former circumstances the activity of the enzyme is little affected, but when the reaction is conducted in the presence of NAD+ the enzyme is activated by approximately 2-fold and is then relatively insensitive to the inactivatory effect of disulfiram. 7. Enzyme activated by 2,2′-dithiodipyridine loses most of its activity when stored over a period of a few days at 4 degrees C, or within 30 min when treated with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. 8. Points for and against the proposal that the disulfiram-sensitive groups are catalytically essential are discussed.

Stopped-flow experiments in which sheep liver cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) was rapidly mixed with NAD+ and aldehyde showed a burst of NADH formation, followed by a slower steady-state turnover. The kinetic data obtained when the relative concentrations and orders of mixing of NAD+ and propionaldehyde with the enzyme were varied were fitted to the following mechanism: [Formula: see text] where the release of NADH is slow. By monitoring the quenching of protein fluorescence on the binding of NAD+, estimates of 2×105 litre·mol−1·s−1 and 2s−1 were obtained for k+1 and k−1 respectively. Although k+3 could be determined from the dependence of the burst rate constant on the concentration of propionaldehyde to be 11s−1, k+2 and k−2 could not be determined uniquely, but could be related by the equation: (k−2+k+3)/k+2 =50×10−6mol·litre−1. No significant isotope effect was observed when [1-2H]propionaldehyde was used as substrate. The burst rate constant was pH-dependent, with the greatest rate constants occurring at high pH. Similar data were obtained by using acetaldehyde, where for this substrate (k−2+k+3)/k+2=2.3×10 −3mol·litre−1 and k+3 is 23s−1. When [1,2,2,2-2H]acetaldehyde was used, no isotope effect was observed on k+3, but there was a significant effect on k+2 and k−2. A burst of NADH production has also been observed with furfuraldehyde, trans-4-(NN-dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde, formaldehyde, benzaldehyde, 4-(imidazol-2-ylazo)benzaldehyde, p-methoxybenzaldehyde and p-methylbenzaldehyde as substrates, but not with p-nitrobenzaldehyde.

ABSTRACT Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) encodes a 168-amino-acid polypeptide that contains the signature motif of the superfamily of protein phosphatases that act via a covalent cysteinyl phosphate intermediate. The sequence of the AcNPV phosphatase is similar to that of the RNA triphosphatase domain of the metazoan cellular mRNA capping enzyme. Here, we show that the purified recombinant AcNPV protein is an RNA 5′-triphosphatase that hydrolyzes the γ-phosphate of triphosphate-terminated poly(A); it also hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and GTP to GDP. The phosphatase sediments as two discrete components in a glycerol gradient: a 9.5S oligomer and 2.5S putative monomer. The 2.5S form of the enzyme releases 32Pi from 1 μM γ-32P-labeled triphosphate-terminated poly(A) with a turnover number of 52 min−1 and converts ATP to ADP with V max of 8 min−1and Km of 25 μM ATP. The 9.5S oligomeric form of the enzyme displays an initial pre-steady-state burst of ADP and Pi formation, which is proportional to and stoichiometric with the enzyme, followed by a slower steady-state rate of product formation (approximately 1/10 of the steady-state rate of the 2.5S enzyme). We surmise that the oligomeric enzyme is subject to a rate-limiting step other than reaction chemistry and that this step is either distinct from or slower than the rate-limiting step for the 2.5S enzyme. Replacing the presumptive active site nucleophile Cys-119 by alanine abrogates RNA triphosphatase and ATPase activity. Our findings raise the possibility that baculoviruses encode enzymes that cap the 5′ ends of viral transcripts synthesized at late times postinfection by a virus-encoded RNA polymerase.

The kinetics of dissociation of NADPH from its complex with isocitrate dehydrogenase, and from the abortive complex of enzyme, Mg 2+ , isocitrate and NADPH, have been studied in phosphate and triethanolamine buffers by means of rapid fluorescence measurements. The reactions are complex, and it is suggested that a conformational equilibrium of each of the complexes is involved, and that this conformational change is also responsible for a slow approach to the steady-state rate of oxidative decarboxylation observed previously in triethanolamine buffer under certain conditions (K. Dalziel, N. McFerran, B. Matthews & C. H. Reynolds, Biochem . J . 171, 743‒750 (1978)). It is concluded that release of free NADPH product is not the rate-limiting step in oxidative decarboxylation in the steady state. The validity of the ligand displacement method used to measure the dissociation kinetics of the enzyme‒NADPH complex has been studied by computer simulation.

Using myosin, heavy meromyosin, and subfragment-1 the steady state rate of Mg-modified adenosine triphosphatase (Mg-ATPase) was determined over a range of substrate concentrations between 10−8 M and 5 × 10−3 M, at 0.5 M and 0.05 M KCl (pH 7.4 at 20 °C). At the substrate concentrations below 10−5 M, myosin Mg-ATPase was observed to show that two active sites interact, as suggested by the analysis of transient kinetic studies (Walz, F. G., Jr.: J. Theor. Biol. 41, 357–373 (1973)). The increase in the activity at Mg-ATP concentrations higher than 10−4 M corresponds to the binding of Mg-ATP to myosin sites not responsible for the catalytic action. With heavy meromyosin and subfragment-1, the activity was best expressed by the Michaelis equation. With heavy meromyosin, the activation at high ATP concentrations is detectable, though not as pronounced as with myosin, but not with subfragment-1.

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 rate-determining 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.

Stopped-flow experiments in spectrophotometric and fluorescence modes reveal different aspects of the aldehyde dehydrogenase mechanism. Spectrophotometric experiments show a rapid burst of NADH production whose course is not affected by Mg2+. The slower burst seen in the fluorescence mode is markedly accelerated by Mg2+. It is argued that the fluorescence burst accompanies acyl-enzyme hydrolysis and, therefore, that Mg2+ increases the rate of this process. Experiments on the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl propionate indicate that acyl-enzyme hydrolysis is indeed accelerated by Mg2+ and a combination of Mg2+ and NADH. Vmax. values for p-nitrophenyl propionate hydrolysis in the presence of NADH and NADH and Mg2+ agree closely with the specific rates of acyl hydrolysis from the E . NADH . acyl and E . NADH . acyl . Mg2+ complexes seen in the dehydrogenase reaction with propionaldehyde. These observations support the view that esterase and dehydrogenase activities occur at the same site on the enzyme. Other evidence is presented to support this conclusion.

ABSTRACT Phosphorylation of SpoIIAA catalyzed by SpoIIAB helps to regulate the first sporulation-specific ς factor, ςF, ofBacillus subtilis. The steady-state rate of phosphorylation is known to be exceptionally slow and to be limited by the return of the protein kinase, SpoIIAB, to a catalytically active state. Previous work from this laboratory has suggested that, after catalyzing the phosphorylation, SpoIIAB is in a form (SpoIIAB*) that does not readily release ADP. We now show that the rate of release of ADP from the SpoIIAB*-ADP complex was much diminished by the presence of unreacted SpoIIAA, suggesting that SpoIIAA can form a long-lived ternary complex with SpoIIAB*-ADP in which the SpoIIAB* form is stabilized. In kinetic studies of the phosphorylation of SpoIIAA, the ternary complex SpoIIAA-SpoIIAB*-ADP could be distinguished from the short-lived complex SpoIIAA-SpoIIAB-ADP, which can be readily produced in the absence of an enzymatic reaction.
