title: Inactivation of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase by a reactive coenzyme analogue: 3-chloroacetyl pyridine adenine dinucleotide.
abstract: Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase is very rapidly and irreversibly inactivated by 3-chloroacetyl pyridine adenine dinucleotide, a reactive NAD+-analogue (Biellmann et al., 1974, FEBS Lett. 40, 29-32). Kinetic investigations with this compound, and structurally related compounds, show that this inactivation, against which NAD+ provides a complete protection, corresponds to an affinity label. The incorporation of the coenzyme analogue correlates linearly with the enzyme inactivation, the total inactivation corresponding to one mole of inactivator per coenzyme binding site. The pH-dependence of the inactivation rates of the enzyme by this coenzyme analogue and by its reduced form reflects exactly the pH variation of their respective dissociation constants. In spite of a good stability of the label in the non denatured inactivated enzyme, no modified amino-acid residue could be identified. Considering the affinity of this analogue for yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and the strict steric requirements of this enzyme towards its ligands, the nature of the inactivation reaction as well as different possibilities of the loss of the label in the inactivated enzyme are discussed.
