Human aldehyde dehydrogenase: coenzyme binding studies.
The binding of NADH and NAD+ to the human liver cytoplasmic, E1, and mitochondrial, E2, isozymes at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C was studied by the NADH fluorescence enhancement technique, the sedimentation technique, and steady-state kinetics. The binding of radiolabeled [14C]NADH and [14C]NAD+ to the E1 isozyme when measured by the sedimentation technique yielded linear Scatchard plots with a dissociation constant of 17.6 microM for NADH and 21.4 microM for NAD+ and a stoichiometry of ca. two coenzyme molecules bound per enzyme tetramer. The dissociation constant, 19.2 microM, for NADH as competitive inhibitor was found from steady-state kinetics. With the mitochondrial E2 isozyme, the NADH fluorescence enhancement technique showed only one, high-affinity binding site (KD = 0.5 microM). When the sedimentation technique and radiolabeled coenzymes were used, the binding studies showed nonlinear Scatchard plots. A minimum of two binding sites with lower affinity was indicated for NADH (KD = 3-6 microM and KD = 25-30 microM) and also for NAD+ (KD = 5-7 microM and KD = 15-30 microM). A fourth binding site with the lowest affinity (KD = 184 microM for NADH and KD = 102 microM for NAD+) was observed from the steady-state kinetics. The dissociation constant for NAD+, determined by the competition with NADH via fluorescence titration, was found to be 116 microM. The number of binding sites found by the fluorescence titration (n = 1 for NADH) differs from that found by the sedimentation technique (n = 1.8-2.2 for NADH and n = 1.2-1.6 for NAD+).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
