A major alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme that displays dual coenzyme specificity has been purified from pickerel liver by ion-exchange, gel filtration, and affinity chromatographic procedures. The purified enzyme is chromatographically and electrophoretically homogeneous. It is dimeric and possesses common physical properties shared by other liver alcohol dehydrogenases. Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrates that NADP+ binds to two coenzyme sites of the pickerel enzyme. Steady-state kinetic studies suggest that pickerel liver alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes NAD(P)+-linked ethanol oxidation via a random pathway. While the NADP+ reduction involves the formation of an abortive complex at high NADP+ concentrations, the NAD+ reduction at low NAD+ concentrations follows an ordered Bi-Bi mechanism with NAD+ being the leading reactant.Key words: purification, pickerel liver, alcohol dehydrogenase.

Reductive methylation of lysine residues activates liver alcohol dehydrogenase in the oxidation of primary alcohols, but decreases the activity of the enzyme towards secondary alcohols. The modification also desensitizes the dehydrogenase to substrate inhibition at high alcohol concentrations. Steady-state kinetic studies of methylated liver alcohol dehydrogenase over a wide range of alcohol concentrations suggest that alcohol oxidation proceeds via a random addition of coenzyme and substrate with a pathway for the formation of the productive enzyme-NADH-alcohol complex. To facilitate the analyses of the effects of methylation on liver alcohol dehydrogenase and factors affecting them, new operational kinetic parameters to describe the results at high substrate concentration were introduced. The changes in the dehydrogenase activity on alkylation were found to be associated with changes in the maximum velocities that are affected by the hydrophobicity of alkyl groups introduced at lysine residues. The desensitization of alkylated liver alcohol dehydrogenase to substrate inhibition is identified with a decrease in inhibitory Michaelis constants for alcohols and this is favoured by the steric effects of substituents at the lysine residues.

Specific Activities

The isoenzymic forms of the alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) of horse liver have been separated by chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose column and identified in terms of their electrophoretic mobilities in the starch gel. Purified isoenzyme fraction C1, which was highest in both total and specific activities, was stable toward rechromatography on carboxymethylcellulose, electrophoresis in starch gel, as well as storage in solution. It therefore satisfied the requirements for use in kinetic studies on the reaction mechanism of the enzyme. Toward the same end, procedures are also described for preparing purified NAD+ and NADH in solution forms which were stable in storage for several days.

A major isozyme of pickerel liver alcohol dehydrogenase has been purified to homogeneity. The enzyme, in addition to catalyze NAD(P)+-linked dehydrogenation of alcohols, also mediates dismutation of aldehydes and hydrolysis of esters. Steady-state kinetic studies and chemical modifications of the pickerel liver enzyme with respect to its esterolytic and dismutative activities were carried out. Pickerel liver alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes hydrolyses of p-nitrophenyl esters via a Uni-Bi mechanism, with alkanoic acids as the last product released. Modifications of Cys and Lys suppress the esterolytic activity. A random mechansim with the formation of dead-end complexes is implicated for the dismutation of octanal catalyzed by pickerel liver alcohol dehydrogenase. Two amino acid residues, Cys and His, are involved in the dehydrogenation as well as dismutation reactions. The present study identifies a regulatory function of Lys for the multifunctional activities of liver alcohol dehydrogenase. When the Lys residue is specifically glucosylated, the dehydrogenase activity increases. Its esterase activity decreases, while the dismutase activity remains unchanged.Key words: multifunctionality, pickerel liver, alcohol dehydrogenase.
