Inactivation of cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase via S-nitrosylation in ethanol-exposed rat liver.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) isozymes are critically important in the metabolism of acetaldehyde, thus preventing its accumulation after ethanol-exposure. We previously reported that mitochondrial ALDH2 could be inactivated via S-nitrosylation in ethanol-exposed rats. This study was aimed at investigating whether cytosolic ALDH1, with a relatively-low-Km value (11-18 microM) for acetaldehyde, could be also inhibited in ethanol-exposed rats. Chronic or binge ethanol-exposure significantly decreased ALDH1 activity, which was restored by addition of dithiothreitol. Immunoblot analysis with the anti-S-nitroso-Cys antibody showed one immunoreactive band in the immunoprecipitated ALDH1 only from ethanol-exposed rats, but not from pair-fed controls, suggesting S-nitrosylation of ALDH1. Therefore inactivation of ALDH1 via S-nitrosylation can result in accumulation of acetaldehyde upon ethanol-exposure.
