Evidence for an active site persulfide residue in rabbit liver aldehyde oxidase.
The reduction of aldehyde oxidase (EC 1.2.3.1) by the substrate W-methylnicotinamide under anaerobic conditions is a biphasic reaction. In the present work we present evidence that this behavior is due to the presence, in standard preparations, of active and inactive enzyme, the former being responsible for the fast reaction and differing from the latter by the presence of a persulfide group. I...
متن کاملIdentification of an active site cysteine residue in Escherichia coli pyruvate oxidase.
The cysteine-directed reagent N-ethylmaleimide rapidly and completely inactivates pyruvate oxidase. This inactivation is correlated with the reaction of one cysteine residue per enzyme monomer. In the presence of the cofactor, thiamin pyrophosphate, the enzyme is not inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide. Furthermore, the N-ethylmaleimide-inactivated enzyme exhibits a very low affinity for the cofactor...
متن کاملSite Directed Mutagenesis of Amino Acid Residues at the Active Site of Mouse Aldehyde Oxidase AOX1
Mouse aldehyde oxidase (mAOX1) forms a homodimer and belongs to the xanthine oxidase family of molybdoenzymes which are characterized by an essential equatorial sulfur ligand coordinated to the molybdenum atom. In general, mammalian AOs are characterized by broad substrate specificity and an yet obscure physiological function. To define the physiological substrates and the enzymatic characteris...
متن کاملSite directed mutagenesis to probe for active site components of liver mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase.
Mutational analysis allowed us to rule out an essential role for the histidine residues and for serine 74 in mammalian aldehyde dehydrogenase. The later though, was found to be important in coenzyme interaction. The function of the serine could not be replaced by threonine or by cysteine. The absolute requirement for cysteine 302 and for glutamate 268 was verified using mutational analysis. The...
متن کاملEvidence for an essential serine residue in the active site of the Theta class glutathione transferases.
A consistent feature of the Alpha-, Mu- and Pi-class glutathione transferases (GSTs) is the presence near the N-terminus of a tyrosine residue that contributes to the activation of glutathione. While this residue appears to be conserved in many Theta-class GSTs, its absence in some suggested that the Theta-class GSTs may have a significantly different structure or catalytic mechanism. The eluci...
