Purification and mechanism of human aldehyde oxidase expressed in Escherichia coli.
Human aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1) has been subcloned into a vector suitable for expression in Escherichia coli, and the protein has been expressed. The resulting protein is active, with sulfur being incorporated in the molybdopterin cofactor. Expression levels are modest, but 1 liter of cells supplies enough protein for both biochemical and kinetic characterization. Partial purification is achiev...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Characterization of Marmoset Aldehyde Oxidase.
Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus), New World monkeys, are a promising primate model for preclinical drug metabolism studies because of the similarities of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzyme function to those of humans. Despite an increasing number of drug candidates catalyzed by non-P450 enzymes, drug metabolizing enzymes other than P450s have been hardly identified or characterized in marmosets...
متن کاملAvian and canine aldehyde oxidases. Novel insights into the biology and evolution of molybdo-flavoenzymes.
Aldehyde oxidases are molybdo-flavoenzymes structurally related to xanthine oxidoreductase. They catalyze the oxidation of aldehydes or N-heterocycles of physiological, pharmacological, and toxicological relevance. Rodents are characterized by four aldehyde oxidases as follows: AOX1 and aldehyde oxidase homologs 1-3 (AOH1, AOH2, and AOH3). Humans synthesize a single functional aldehyde oxidase,...
متن کاملOptimization of the Expression of Human Aldehyde Oxidase for Investigations of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms.
Aldehyde oxidase (AOX1) is an enzyme with broad substrate specificity, catalyzing the oxidation of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous aldehydes as well as N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds. In humans, the enzyme's role in phase I drug metabolism has been established and its importance is now emerging. However, the true physiologic function of AOX1 in mammals is still unknown. Further, num...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, refined chromosomal mapping and structural analysis of the human gene encoding aldehyde oxidase (AOX1), a candidate for the ALS2 gene.
Aldehyde oxidase (AOX) is a member of the xanthine oxidase (XO) family of molybdenum hydroxylase, iron-sulfur flavoproteins and is involved in the metabolism of a wide range of native and xenobiotic compounds. The potentially toxic reduced oxygen intermediates (ROI), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2(.-)), are generated when reduced AOX becomes oxidized by molecular oxygen, rais...
