Early gentamicin nephrotoxicity is characterized by a variety of renal transport abnormalities, including polyuria secondary to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. To investigate whether gentamicin directly interferes with cellular mechanisms responsible for ADH responsivity as a possible contributing factor in this tubular transport alteration, the effect of gentamicin on ADH-stimulated water flow was examined in vitro in the toad urinary bladder. Gentamicin decreased ADH-stimulated osmotic water flow in a dose-dependent manner, with a threshold effect at approximately 0.5 mM. This inhibitory effect occurred only in response to submaximal concentrations of ADH, was reversible, and was preventable with Mg++. Additionally, gentamicin reduced theophylline-stimulated osmotic water flow but had no effect on cyclic AMP-induced water flow. These effects are consistent with a direct gentamicin-related decrease in ADH-responsive adenylate cyclase activity and suggest a mechanism that may contribute to the nephrogenic diabetes insipidus characteristic of early gentamicin nephrotoxicity and the nonoliguric acute renal failure that is a late toxic event occurring with the use of this antibiotic.

Studies were conducted which examined urinary excretion and papillary production of cyclic-AMP in the rat following vasopressin (ADH) stimulation in the presence or absence of inorganic fluoride ion (F). In one set of experiments, six anesthetized Fischer 344 rats were administered 5 munits arginine vasopressin during iv saline and sodium fluoride (NaF) infusions. Urinary cyclic-AMP concentration was unchanged by ADH but declined during NaF infusion, while urinary cyclic-AMP excretion rate was unchanged by ADH or ADH/NaF. In a second set of experiments, 30 rats were divided into six groups of 5 each, and renal papilla and cortex were analyzed for cyclic-AMP. Group I was decapitated and not otherwise surgically manipulated. A second group had iv saline for 90 min while a third group had iv saline and ADH. A fourth group had isotonic NaF iv for 90 min and a fifth group had NaF and ADH. The results indicate that papillary cyclic-AMP is significantly increased by both ADH and NaF doses which did not cause changes in urinary cyclic-AMP excretion rates. We conclude from these experiments that determination of urinary cyclic-AMP concentration is not the best measure of vasopressin action and that tubular sensitivity to the hormone in the presence of F was better demonstrated by changes in papillary cyclic-AMP concentration. Further, it appears that the site of the biochemical renal lesion caused by F is at a site beyond the generation of cyclic-AMP.

A series of esters of adenosine 5'-monophosphate with ethyl, propyl, or hexyl moieties substituted at the omega-position with chlorine or bromine were prepared. The compounds were competitive inhibitors of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase with respect to coenzyme, NAD+, and had inhibition (dissociation) constants in the range of 40 to 260 microM at pH 8.0, 25 degrees C. The bromoalkyl esters were designed to be active-site-directed inactivators and were chemically reactive as tested with the model compound 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine. Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase was inactivated by the bromohexyl analog by an active-site-directed mechanism, with a Ki = 1.5 mM and a pseudo-bimolecular rate constant of 0.03 M-1 S-1, which is 150 times larger than the bimolecular rate constant for inactivation by 2-bromoethanol. However, the rates of inactivation of other dehydrogenases treated with 10 mM concentrations of these compounds were generally slower than with the simpler reagent, 2-bromoethanol. Thus, the reactive functional group attached to the AMP moiety may not be properly oriented for affinity labeling of these dehydrogenases. The bromoalkyl esters may be useful for inactivating other enzymes.

Homogeneous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from rat retina was obtained by chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose and AMP-hexane-Sepharose. The enzyme is a dimer of Mr congruent to 80000 and oxidizes ethanol using NAD+ as a cofactor. Careful activity determinations demonstrate unambiguously that rat retina ADH is active with retinol as a substrate. This result opens the question about the role of retina ADH in the visual cycle.

Alcohol dehydrogenase was purified in 14 h from male Fischer-344 rat livers by differential centrifugation, (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, and chromatography over DEAE-Affi-Gel Blue, Affi-Gel Blue, and AMP-agarose. Following HPLC more than 240-fold purification was obtained. Under denaturing conditions, the enzyme migrated as a single protein band (Mr congruent to 40,000) on 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Under nondenaturing conditions, the protein eluted from an HPLC I-125 column as a symmetrical peak with a constant enzyme specific activity. When examined by analytical isoelectric focusing, two protein and two enzyme activity bands comigrated closely together (broad band) between pH 8.8 and 8.9. The pure enzyme showed pH optima for activity between 8.3 and 8.8 in buffers of 0.5 M Tris-HCl, 50 mM 2-(N-cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid (CHES), and 50 mM 3-(cyclohexylamino)-1-propanesulfonic acid (CAPS), and above pH 9.0 in 50 mM glycyl-glycine. Kinetic studies with the pure enzyme, in 0.5 M Tris-HCl under varying pH conditions, revealed three characteristic ionization constants for activity: 7.4 (pK1); 8.0-8.1 (pK2), and 9.1 (pK3). The latter two probably represent functional groups in the free enzyme; pK1 may represent a functional group in the enzyme-NAD+ complex. Pure enzyme also was used to determine kinetic constants at 37 degrees C in 0.5 M Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4 (I = 0.2). The values obtained were Vmax = 2.21 microM/min/mg enzyme, Km for ethanol = 0.156 mM, Km for NAD+ = 0.176 mM, and a dissociation constant for NAD+ = 0.306 mM. These values were used to extrapolate the forward rate of ethanol oxidation by alcohol dehydrogenase in vivo. At pH 7.4 and 10 mM ethanol, the rate was calculated to be 2.4 microM/min/g liver.

Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase is inactivated with Michaelis kinetics at pH 7 and 25 degrees C by 3-bromopropionic acid. In the absence of NAD+, the Ki is 2 mM, and the pseudo bimolecular rate constant (k3/Ki) is 0.03 M-1 s-1; in the presence of 1 mM NAD+, Ki is 2.3 mM, and k3/Ki is 0.006 M-1 s-1. 3-Bromopropionic acid is a competitive inhibitor, Ki of 0.4 mM, against ethanol as a substrate. Inactivation was prevented in the ternary complexes with NAD+ X pyrazole and NADH X isobutyramide, was retarded by NAD+, NADH, or bipyridine, and was almost unaffected by imidazole and AMP. Carboxyethylated enzyme did not detectably (as observed spectrophotometrically) bind bipyridine, NAD+, or NADH. Enzyme was inactivated with radioactive 3-bromopropionic acid, aminoethylated, and digested with trypsin and chymotrypsin. Analysis of the labeled peptides showed that Cys-174 was predominantly modified. In the presence of 1 mM NAD+, the reaction was much less specific. The interaction of the carboxyl group of 3-bromopropionic acid with the guanidino group of Arg-369 probably facilitates the selective reaction with Cys-174, which is ligated to the zinc at the active site. Carboxyethylation apparently inactivates by interfering with the proper binding of the pyrophosphate of the coenzyme to the enzyme.

The steady-state kinetics of the enzyme modified by affinity labelling with NAD analogue, nicotinamide-N6-[N-(6-aminohexyl)carbamoylmethyl]-adenine dinucleotide, has been investigated using a recycling reaction with p-nitrosodimethylaniline and n-butanol as substrates and compared to the kinetics of native alcohol dehydrogenase. The modified enzyme obeys a ping-pong mechanism involving two inactive enzyme forms (enzyme-NAD and enzyme-NADH complexes in the 'open' conformations, the nicotinamide moieties of the coenzymes being out of the active center). The rate of p-nitrosodimethylaniline reduction in the reaction catalyzed by the modified enzyme is comparable to that observed in the presence of the native enzyme. On the other hand, the oxidation of butanol by the modified enzyme is essentially slower under our experimental conditions (pH 8.5). The measurements in the presence of specific alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors competing with substrates and coenzymes (isobutyramide, pyrazole and AMP) revealed that the relative portion of the inactive 'open' form of the enzyme-NADH complex is negligible, whereas the 'open' form of the enzyme-NAD complex seems to represent a more significant portion (about 30%) under the conditions used.

A NAD (P)-linked alcohol dehydrogenase was isolated from the soluble extract of the strictly respiratory bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus N9A. Derepression of the formation of this enzyme occurs only in cells incubated under conditions of restricted oxygen supply for prolonged times. The purification procedure included precipitation by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and ammonium sulfate and subsequent chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, Cibacron blue F3G-A Sepharose and thiol-Sepharose. The procedure resulted in a 120-fold purification of a multifunctional alcohol dehydrogenase exhibiting dehydrogenase activities for 2,3-butanediol, ethanol and acetaldehyde and reductase activities for diacetyl, acetoin and acetaldehyde. During purification the ratio between 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase and ethanol dehydrogenase activity remained nearly constant. Recovering about 20% of the initial 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase activity, the specific activity of the final preparation was 70.0 U X mg protein-1 (2,3-butanediol oxidation) and 2.8 U X mg protein-1 (ethanol oxidation). The alcohol dehydrogenase is a tetramer of a relative molecular mass of 156000 consisting of four equal subunits. The determination of the Km values for different substrates and coenzymes as well as the determination of the pH optima for the reactions catalyzed resulted in values which were in good agreement with the fermentative function of this enzyme. The alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzed the NAD (P)-dependent dismutation of acetaldehyde to acetate and ethanol. This reaction was studied in detail, and its possible involvement in acetate formation is discussed. Among various compounds tested for affecting enzyme activity only NAD, NADP, AMP, ADP, acetate and 2-mercaptoethanol exhibited significant effects.

Four alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes with "atypical" pH optima for ethanol oxidation at 8.8 were isolated from Japanese livers with the homozygous ADH2 2-2 and the heterozygous ADH2 2-1 phenotypes. Agarose gel isoelectric focusing patterns after dissociation--recombination of three isoenzymes purified from the homozygous livers indicate that they are beta 2 beta 2, alpha beta 2, and beta 2 gamma 1. A fourth isoenzyme, purified from livers with the heterozygous phenotype by agarose-hexane--AMP affinity chromatography, was identified as beta 2 beta 1 by dissociation-recombination studies. The kinetic properties of the three heterodimers, beta 2 beta 1, alpha beta 2, and beta 2 gamma 1, are intermediate between those of the respective homodimers, suggesting that the two subunits act independently. Product inhibition studies indicate that beta 2 beta 2 obeys an ordered sequential mechanism, as do the alpha alpha, beta 1 beta 1, gamma 1 gamma 1, and gamma 2 gamma 2 homodimers which have the "typical" pH optimum for ethanol oxidation at pH 10.0-10.5. The kinetic constants of beta 2 beta 2 differ substantially from those of the other homodimers. At pH 7.5, the Vmax for ethanol oxidation of beta 2 beta 2 is 5-40 times higher than that of alpha alpha, beta 1 beta 1, gamma 1 gamma 1, and gamma 2 gamma 2. The Km and Ki values of beta 2 beta 2 for NAD+ and NADH are also considerably higher than those of the other homodimers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Homogeneous class II alcohol dehydrogenase (pi-ADH) has been isolated from human liver homogenates by chromatography on DE-52 cellulose, 4-[3-[N-(6-amino-caproyl)amino]propyl]pyrazole-Sepharose, SP-Sephadex C-50, and agarose-hexane-AMP, yielding an enzyme that has a significantly higher specific activity and is markedly more stable than that isolated by an earlier procedure. pi-ADH is composed of two identical 40 000-dalton subunits, contains 4 mol of zinc/dimer, and is readily inhibited by metal-chelating agents. The purified enzyme binds two molecules of coenzyme per dimer, exhibits an absorption maximum at 280 nm, epsilon 280 = 57 000, and exhibits an isoelectric point of 8.6. The class II isozyme catalyzes the oxidation of a variety of alcohols with Km values ranging from 7 microM to 560 mM and with kcat values from 32 min-1 to 600 min-1 and demonstrates a preference for hydrophobic substrates. The kcat/Km ratio for ethanol oxidation exhibits a pH maximum at 10.4.
