The transfer of deuterium from chiral 1-monodeuteroethanols to various metabolites formed in the liver was studied in order to investigate the coupling of metabolic reductions to the alcohol dehydrogenase and the aldehyde dehydrogenase reactions. The ethanols were administered to female bile fistula rats for 10 h. The hydrogen at C-2 in the glycerol moiety of newly formed phosphatidylcholine molecules in bile, liver and plasma was derived to 22-25% from the 1-pro-R position and to 5-6% from the 1-pro-S position in the ethanol. sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate isolated from liver had a lower deuterium content at C-2. The ratio between the contributions from the two positions in ethanol to C-2 of free sn-glycerol 3-phosphate was the same as in the phosphatidylcholines. This indicates that the higher degree of labelling of this position in phosphatidylcholines is not due to a specific coupling between alcohol dehydrogenase and the formation of a phosphatidylcholine precursor. Cholesterol and chenodeoxycholic acid in bile became increasingly labelled, and the ratio between the incorporations from the 1-pro-S and the 1-pro-R positions of ethanol was about 0.37 in cholesterol and 0.46 in chenodeoxycholic acid. Thus, these NADPH-dependent reactions utilized hydrogen from the 1-pro-S position to a larger extent than NADH-dependent reactions.

Voluntary intake of ethanol solution (ETOH) was decreased in rats administered 2-aminoethylisothiouronium bromide hydrobromide (AET), an agent reported to alter NAD:NADH ratios in rat liver. Repeated administration of same dose of AET to ETOH-naive rats produced a significant inhibition of liver aldehyde dehydrogenase. Ethanol intake was decreased in rats given noreleagnine (NLG), a beta-carbone derivative reported to inhibit monoamine oxidase. Repeated administration of NLG exerted a significant inhibitory effect on liver alcohol dehydrogenase activity. It is concluded that the observed reduction of ethanol under AET which inhibits liver aldehyde dehydrogenase may reflect an antabuse-like reaction and the reduction of ethanol intake under NLG may be due, in part, to a build-up of alcohol in the blood and brain through inhibition of ethanol metabolism. The results are discussed in reference to the possible mechanism of action underlying voluntary intake of ethanol in rats, implicating alteration of NAD:NADH ratios in the biochemical processes underlying alcohol intake of rats.

Freshly prepared samples of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) were inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline at pH 7.0 and 0 degrees C in a two-stage process. The first step appeared to be slowly established, but was rendered reversible by removal of reagent or by addition of excess Zn2+ ions. The second step was irreversible and was associated with the dissociation of the tetrameric enzyme. The presence of saturating concentrations of NAD+ or NADH promoted and enhanced inhibition by the slowly established reversible process, but prevented dissociation of the enzyme. For the incubation mixtures containing NAD+, removal of the 1,10-phenanthroline resulted in virtually complete recovery of activity, whereas, for the incubation mixtures containing NADH, removal of the reagent gave only partial re-activation. The presence of NAD+ and pyrazole, or NADH and acetamide, in incubation mixtures with the enzyme gave rise to ternary complexes that gave protection against both forms of inactivation by 1,10-phenanthroline. The results support the view that at least some of the Zn2+ ions associated with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase have a catalytic, as opposed to a purely structural, role.

Energy metabolism was studied in rat myocardial mitochondria by estimation of respiratory enzymes activity and content of the Krebs cycle substrates under conditions of acute and chronic intoxication with ethyl alcohol. In the acute intoxication mitochondrial redox enzymes were inhibited (glutamate- and malate dehydrogenases, NADH cytochrome C oxidoreductase and cytochrome C oxidase), succinate- and lactate dehydrogenases were activated; at the same time, contents of pyruvate, succinate, and alpha-ketoglutarate were elevated and the content of oxalacetic acid was decreased. Prolonged administration of alcohol (within 2 months) caused an intensification of glycolysis and an increase in NADH cytochrome C oxidoreductase pathway with preferable oxidation of succinate and activation of cytochrome C oxidase; the phenomenon appears to be an adaptation to chronic "alcohol hypoxia". Discontinuation of alcohol administration led to deficiency of native substrates in myocardium (primarily, oxalacetic and succinic acids) due to decrease in NAD reduction via alcohol dehydrogenase reaction and to increase in oxidation of NAD-dependent endogenous substrates.

We have studied the binding of the enzymatically active NAD+ analogue, 3-iodopyridine-adenine dinucleotide, and the inactive analogue, pyridine-adenine dinucleotide to the enzyme horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase using X-ray crystallographic methods. These studies were made under such conditions that crystals of the complexes were isomorphous to apoenzyme crystals. Both analogues bind in the same conformation. The binding of the adenosine moiety is very similar to that of ADP-ribose or NADH bound to the enzyme. The conformation and mode of binding of the remaining portions of the analogue molecules is, however, quite different. The pyridine ring is not situated in the active-site pocket as the nicotinamide group in the isomorphous enzyme-NADH-imidazole complex but lies at the surface of the crevice between the two domains of the subunit, approximately 1.5 nm away from the catalytically active zinc atom. Lys-228 which has been shown to be important for NADH dissociation is in this region of the molecule.

Reduced 3-thionicotinamide--adenine dinucleotide (sNADH) is shown to be fluorescent, with an emission maximum at 510 nm when excited in the region of the absorption maximum (398 nm), and with a very low quantum yield, (3.4 +/- 0.5) x 10(-4). The interaction between sNADH and octopine dehydrogenase was investigated by ultraviolet-difference spectroscopy and fluorescence. Some surprising fluorescence features were found when sNADH was bound to the enzyme in the presence of D-octopine, as follows. (a) There is an unusually high enhancement of the dinucleotide fluorescence (by at least a factor of 100) attended by a 40-nm blue shift of the emission maximum. (b) The protein fluorescence is quenched almost completely. (c) The bound coenzyme analog undergoes a photoreaction, which proceeds differently from that occurring the free form. These features appear to be unique to the octopine.sNADH complex, as for example they are not present when sNADH is bound to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase, or when NADH is bound to octopine dehydrogenase. The possible origin of these fluorescence features is discussed. Binding and kinetic studies were carried out with sNAD and sNADH. It was found that sNAD neither binds nor acts kinetically as a coenzyme. sNADH exhibits relatively good binding, with Km and Ki values close to those of the natural coenzyme, but the turnover number is 460 times smaller than that with NADH. The kinetic consequences of these findings are discussed. The sNADH dissociation constants were determined as a function of temperature, and appear to be practically temperature-independent in the range 10--40 degrees C. It seems thus, in agreement with previous studies, that the interaction between octopine dehydrogenase and coenzymes proceeds athermically, regardless of the structure, affinity, and chemical reactivity of the coenzyme. The possible biological and chemical meaning of this finding is discussed.

Yeast mutants with glucose-insensitive formation of mitochondrial enzymes were isolated starting with a strain completely lacking alcohol dehydrogenase activity. The mutations could uniquely be attributed to a single nuclear gene, designated CCR80. They were largely dominant. Glucose-resistant enzyme formation was most prominent with regard to mitochondrial enzymes succinate dehydrogenase and NADH: cytochrome c oxidoreductase. The effect of CCR80r mutations was rather small but significant on the gluconeogenetic enzymes isocitrate lyase, malate synthase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and on invertase synthesis. The repressive effect of maltose in CCR80r mutants was also reduced showing that glucose-resistance is not caused by a mere hexose uptake defect. This regulatory disorders were not accompanied by reduced levels of glycolytic enzymes or drastically altered levels of glycolytic intermediates. Aerobic fermentation of glucose was almost completely inhibited in the mutants; anaerobic glucose degradation was reduced but not completely abolished. Therefore, the mutants appear to be altered in the regulation of glycolysis. A largely glucose-resistant synthesis of respiratory enzymes is obviously a corollary of this alteration.

The CD (circular dichroism) and CPL (circular polarization of luminescence) spectra of NADPH in aqueous solution were studied and found to be markedly different. The spectra were not affected by cleavage of the coenzyme molecule with phosphodiesterase. The differences are thus not due to the existence of extended and folded conformations of NADPH and it is concluded that they originate in excited state conformational changes of the nicotinamide--ribose fragment. Opposite signs of both the CD and CPL spectra were observed for NADH bound to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase and to beef heart lactate dehydrogenase indicating structural differences between the nicotinamide binding sites. The binding of substrate analogues to enzyme--coenzyme complexes did not affect the CD spectra and hence no significant conformational changes are induced upon formation of the ternary complexes. No changes in the CPL spectrum of NADH bound to lactate dehydrogenase were observed upon adding oxalate to form the ternary complex. Marked differences were found between the CPL spectra of binary and ternary complexes with liver alcohol dehydrogenase, while the CD spectra of these complexes were identical. It is concluded that a conformational change of the excited NADH molecule occurs in the binary but not in the ternary complex involving LADH, thus indicating an increased rigidity of the latter complex.

1. Produced inhibition by ethanol of the acetaldehyde-NADH reaction, catalysed by the alcohol dehydrogenases from yeast and horse liver, was studied at 25 degrees C and pH 6-9. 2. The results with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase are generally consistent with the preferred-pathway mechanism proposed previously [Dickenson & Dickinson (1975) Biochem. J. 147, 303-311]. The observed hyperbolic inhibition by ethanol of the maximum rate of acetaldehyde reduction confirms the existence of the alternative pathway involving an enzyme-ethanol complex. 3. The maximum rate of acetaldehyde reduction with horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase is also subject to hyperbolic inhibition by ethanol. 4. The measured inhibition constants for ethanol provide some of the information required in the determination of the dissociation constant for ethanol from the active ternary complex. 5. Product inhibition by acetaldehyde of the ethanol-NAD+ reaction with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase was examined briefly. The results are consistent with the proposed mechanism. However, the nature of the inhibition of the maximum rate cannot be determined within the accessible range of experimental conditions. 6. Inhibition of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase by trifluoroethanol was studied at 25 degrees C and pH 6-10. The inhibition was competitive with respect to ethanol in the ethanol-NAD+ reaction. Estimates were made of the dissociation constant for trifluoroethanol from the enzyme-NAD+-trifluoroethanol complex in the range pH6-10.

Stopped-flow studies of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol by NAD(+) in the presence of Phenol Red and large concentrations of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase give no evidence for the participation of a group of pK(a) approx. 7.6 in alcohol binding. Such a group has been implicated in ethanol binding to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase [Shore, Gutfreund, Brooks, Santiago & Santiago (1974) Biochemistry13, 4185-4190]. The present result supports previous findings based on steady-state kinetic studies with the yeast enzyme. Stopped-flow studies of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalysed reduction of acetaldehyde by NADH in the presence of ethanol as product inhibitor indicate that the rate-limiting step is NAD(+) release from the enzyme-NAD(+)-ethanol product complex. This finding permits calculation of K(3), the dissociation constant for ethanol from the enzyme-NAD(+)-ethanol complex, by using the product-inhibition data of Dickenson & Dickinson (1978) (Biochem. J.171, 613-627). The calculations show that K(3) varies very little with pH in the range 5.95-8.9, and this agrees with the findings of the stopped-flow experiments described above. Absorption and fluorescence measurements on mixtures of substrates and coenzymes in the presence of high concentrations of alcohol dehydrogenase have been used to estimate values for the ratio [enzyme-NADH-acetaldehyde]/ [enzyme-NAD(+)-ethanol] at equilibrium. The values obtained were in the range 0.11+/-0.04, and this value together with estimates of K(3) was used to provide estimates of values for rate constants and dissociation constants for steps within the catalytic mechanism.
