Mechanism of inactivation of sheep liver cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase by disulfiram.
Stoicheiometric amounts of [14C]disulfiram react rapidly with sheep liver cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase to give loss of catalytic activity and incorporation of the expected amount of radioactivity. In a subsequent slower reaction the label is lost from the enzyme without re-emergence of enzymic activity. The results imply that in vivo disulfiram may act as an oxidation-reduction catalyst f...
متن کاملThe inactivation of aldehyde dehydrogenase by disulfiram in the presence of glutathione.
It is shown that in vitro glutathione provides little protection of cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase against the inactivatory action of disulfiram. This observation provides support for the current explanation of how disulfiram acts in vivo. The results show that the disulfiram-sensitive thiol groups of aldehyde dehydrogenase have an unusually high reactivity; possible mechanisms by which thi...
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 کاملHorse Liver Aldehyde Dehydrogenase
Horse liver aldehyde: NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.1.3) has been purified to homogeneity by a procedure consisting of salt fractionation, ion exchange chromatography, and isoelectric focusing. The purif?ed material has a turnover number of 1.85 pmoles of NADH per min per mg of protein when assayed at pH 9.0 with propionaldehyde as substrate. Values obtained for the molecular weight of the native ...
متن کاملPartially Irreversible Inactivation of Mitochondrial Aldehyde Dehydrogenase by Nitroglycerin*S⃞
Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) may be involved in the biotransformation of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), and the inactivation of ALDH2 by GTN may contribute to the phenomenon of nitrate tolerance. We studied the GTN-induced inactivation of ALDH2 by UV/visible absorption spectroscopy. Dehydrogenation of acetaldehyde and hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylacetate (p-NPA) were both inhibited by...
