The bioavailability of lead in kidney is mediated in part by binding to endogenous high-affinity cytosolic lead-binding proteins (PbBP), which are not detectable in liver. Addition of semipurified 11,500 dalton PbBP to liver delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) reaction mixtures reverses inhibition of this enzyme by lead and thus provides an explanation for the relative insensitivity of...
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate arsenic induced changes in blood delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) after in vitro and in vivo exposure to this element and its response to co-administration of meso 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and monoisoamyl DMSA (MiADMSA) either individually or in combination. METHODS Rat whole blood was exposed to varying concentrat...
The heme biosynthesis enzyme d-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) requires magnesium or zinc for activity, depending on the organism, and the heme moiety contains iron. Thus, metals are important for heme formation in at least two different ways. Bradyrhizobium japonicum ALAD* is an engineered derivative of wild-type ALAD that requires Zn for activity rather than Mg (S. Chauhan and M. R. O’...
This study is to determine the distribution of the delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) polymorphism among Han subjects of the Chinese population and to study whether the polymorphism in the ALAD gene modifies the toxicity of lead in lead-exposed workers. For this purpose we conducted a cross-sectional study on 156 Chinese workers who were exposed to lead in lead-acid battery and electr...
to describe the relationship of blood lead levels (bll) and blood, δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase(alad) activity and haematocrit value(hct) to menopause , were examined 17 pre-or perimenopausal (prem) and 17 postmenopausal women (posm)from prishtina city, the capital ofrepublic kosovo. the mean age of the prem women was 28.8 years (21-46), with a mean blood lead level of 1.2 μg/dl (sd=0.583 ...
delta-Aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALAD) is the second enzyme in the heme biosynthesis pathway. ALAD is a zinc metalloenzyme, and its inhibition by lead substitution for zinc is one of the most sensitive indicators of blood-lead accumulation, a measure of recent lead exposure. Stoichiometry calculations indicate that a significant portion of blood lead is stored in ALAD. Human ALAD exhibits a c...
Properties of mutant delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALAD) found in patients with ALAD porphyria were studied by enzymological and immunological analyses after the synthesis of enzyme complexes using a cell-free system. Enzyme activities of homozygous G133R, K59N/G133R, V153M, and E89K mutants were 11%, 22%, 67%, and 75% of the wild-type ALAD, respectively, whereas that of K59N, a normal var...
5-Aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALAD) from spinach (Spinatia oleracea) was isolated by affinity purification on an immunoabsorbens with a yield of 70 to 80% of the activity in the crude enzyme preparation. The enzyme eluted from the immunoabsorbens was pure as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and is a hexamer with a subunit molecular weight of about 50 000. Enzyme bound to the immuno...
Lead-binding proteins are a series of low molecular weight proteins, analogous to metallothionein, which segregate lead in a nontoxic form in several organs (kidney, brain, lung, liver, erythrocyte). Whether the lead-binding proteins in every organ are identical or different remains to be determined. In the erythrocyte, delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) isoforms have commanded the gr...
BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies are reporting associations between lead exposure and human cancers. A polymorphism in the 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) gene affects lead toxicokinetics and may modify the adverse effects of lead. METHODS The objective of this study was to evaluate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tagging the ALAD region among renal cancer cases and controls t...
