Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) of classes V and VI, ADH5 and ADH6, have been defined in man and rodents, respectively. Sequence data have been obtained at cDNA and genomic levels, but limited data are available for functionality and substrate repertoire. The low positional identity (65%) between the two ADHs, place them into separate classes. We have shown that the ADH5 gene yields two differently processed mRNAs and harbors a gene organization identical to other mammalian ADHs. This is probably due to an alternative splicing in the eighth intron that results in a shorter message missing the ninth exon or a normal message with the expected number of codons. The isolated rat ADH6 cDNA was found to be fused to ADH2 at the 5′-end. The resulting main open reading frame translates into an N-terminally extended polypeptide. In vitro translation results in a polypeptide of about 42 kDa and further, protein was possible to express in COS cells as a fusion product with Green Fluorescent Protein. Both ADH5 and ADH6 show genes and gene products that are processed comparably to other mammalian ADHs and the deduced amino acid sequences indicate a lack of ethanol dehydrogenase activity that probably explains why no corresponding proteins have been isolated. The functionality of these ADHs is therefore still an enigma. 相似文献

BLAT (BLAST-Like Alignment Tool) analyses and interrogations of the recently published opossum genome were undertaken using previously reported rat ADH amino acid sequences. Evidence is presented for six opossum ADH genes localized on chromosome 5 and organized in a comparable ADH gene cluster to that reported for human and rat ADH genes. The predicted amino acid sequences and secondary structures for the opossum ADH subunits and the intron-exon boundaries for opossum ADH genes showed a high degree of similarity with other mammalian ADHs, and four opossum ADH classes were identified, namely ADH1, ADH3, ADH6 and ADH4 (for which three genes were observed: ADH4A, ADH4B and ADH4C). Previous biochemical analyses of opossum ADHs have reported the tissue distribution and properties for these enzymes: ADH1, the major liver enzyme; ADH3, widely distributed in opossum tissues with similar kinetic properties to mammalian class 3 ADHs; and ADH4, for which several forms were localized in extrahepatic tissues, especially in the digestive system and in the eye. These ADHs are likely to perform similar functions to those reported for other mammalian ADHs in the metabolism of ingested and endogenous alcohols and aldehydes. Phylogenetic analyses examined opossum, human, rat, chicken and cod ADHs, and supported the proposed designation of opossum ADHs as class I (ADH1), class III (ADH3), class IV (ADH4A, ADH4B and ADH4C) and class VI (ADH6). Percentage substitution rates were examined for ADHs during vertebrate evolution which indicated that ADH3 is evolving at a much slower rate to that of the other ADH classes. 相似文献

The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) family has evolved into at least eight ADH classes during vertebrate evolution. We have characterized
three prevertebrate forms of the parent enzyme of this family, including one from an urochordate (Ciona intestinalis) and two from cephalochordates (Branchiostoma floridae and Branchiostoma lanceolatum). An evolutionary analysis of the family was performed gathering data from protein and gene structures, exon–intron distribution,
and functional features through chordate lines. Our data strongly support that the ADH family expansion occurred 500 million
years ago, after the cephalochordate/vertebrate split, probably in the gnathostome subphylum line of the vertebrates. Evolutionary
rates differ between the ancestral, ADH3 (glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase), and the emerging forms, including
the classical alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH1, which has an evolutionary rate 3.6-fold that of the ADH3 form. Phylogenetic analysis
and chromosomal mapping of the vertebrate Adh gene cluster suggest that family expansion took place by tandem duplications, probably concurrent with the extensive isoform
burst observed before the fish/tetrapode split, rather than through the large-scale genome duplications also postulated in
early vertebrate evolution. The absence of multifunctionality in lower chordate ADHs and the structures compared argue in
favor of the acquisition of new functions in vertebrate ADH classes. Finally, comparison between B. floridae and B. lanceolatum Adhs provides the first estimate for a cephalochordate speciation, 190 million years ago, probably concomitant with the beginning
of the drifting of major land masses from the Pangea.

Cloning and comparative mapping of a human class III (chi) alcohol dehydrogenase cDNA 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

A cDNA encoding human class III (chi ADH5) alcohol dehydrogenase was isolated, sequenced and used to comparatively map this unusual ADH. In their coding sequences, the three major ADH classes were approximately equisimilar, class II and III ADHs sharing the highest sequence identity (67%). A class III-like ADH was mapped to mouse chromosome 3, site of the ADH gene complex, and synteny of ADH5 with four other ADH loci on human chromosome 4 was confirmed. The nearly full-length 1613 nucleotide cDNA contained 433 nucleotides of 3' nontranslated sequence and two possible initiation sites for translation. A protein of 374 amino acid residues could be synthesized using the potential initiation codon at nucleotide 59. However, use of the likely initiation codon at nucleotide 5 would produce a protein of 392 residues with 19 additional N-terminal residues as compared to the known protein sequence. The derived protein sequence also differs at residue 166, where Tyr is found. This difference, due to a single base substitution, could result from cloning artifact, polymorphism, or two expressed class III ADH genes. 相似文献

Phylogenetic relationship and the rates of evolution of mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) have been studied by using the amino acid sequences from the human (ADH alpha, ADH beta, and ADH gamma), rat, mouse, and horse (ADH E and ADH S). With the maize ADH1 and ADH2 used as references, the patterns of the amino acid replacements in the beta-sheets, alpha-helices, and random coils in each of the catalytic and coenzyme-binding domains were analyzed separately. The phylogenetic trees based on the different sets of amino acid substitutions consistently showed that (1) multiple ADHs in human and horse have arisen after mammalian radiation, (2) the common ancestor of human ADHs alpha and beta diverged from the ancestor of ADH gamma first and the former two ADHs diverged from each other more recently, and (3) the human ADHs are more closely related to the rodent ADHs than to the horse ADHs. Furthermore, the estimated branch lengths showed that the rodent ADHs are evolving faster than the other ADHs. This difference in evolutionary rate between the two groups of organisms is explainable either in terms of the difference in the number of cell generations per year or in terms of reduction of functional constraints. 相似文献

Current information on the molecular structure of human alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes is fragmentary. To characterize all ADH genes, we have isolated 63 ADH clones from human genomic libraries made from one individual. Fifty-nine clones have been classified into five previously known loci: ADH1 (18 clones), ADH2 (20 clones), and ADH3 class I (16 clones), ADH4 class II (4 clones), and ADH5 class III (1 clone). Sequencing of one of the remaining four unclassified clones, SY lambda ADHE38, about 1.1 kb in length, shows no introns and three frameshift mutations in the coding region, with a total of 10 internal termination codons. When its deduced amino acid sequence was compared with those of the class I, class II, and class III ADHs, the proportions of identical amino acids were 56.7%, 55.5%, and 88.7%, respectively, suggesting that the processed pseudogene was derived from an ADH5 gene. The duplication event seems to have occurred about 3.5 million years ago, and the pseudogene has undergone a rapid change since then. 相似文献

Humans express at least seven alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isoforms that are encoded by ADH gene cluster (ADH7–ADH1C–ADH1B–ADH1A–ADH6–ADH4–ADH5) at chromosome 4. ADHs are key catabolic enzymes for retinol and ethanol. The functional ADH variants (mostly rare) have been implicated in alcoholism risk. In addition to catalyzing the oxidation of retinol and ethanol, ADHs may be involved in the metabolic pathways of several neurotransmitters that are implicated in the neurobiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. In the present study, we comprehensively examined the associations between common ADH variants [minor allele frequency (MAF) >0.05] and 11 neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders. A total of 50,063 subjects in 25 independent cohorts were analyzed. The entire ADH gene cluster was imputed across these 25 cohorts using the same reference panels. Association analyses were conducted, adjusting for multiple comparisons. We found 28 and 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), respectively, that were significantly associated with schizophrenia in African-Americans and autism in European-Americans after correction by false discovery rate (FDR) (q < 0.05); and 19 and 6 SNPs, respectively, that were significantly associated with these two disorders after region-wide correction by SNPSpD (8.9 × 10?5 ≤ p ≤ 0.0003 and 2.4 × 10?5 ≤ p ≤ 0.0003, respectively). No variants were significantly associated with the other nine neuropsychiatric disorders, including alcohol dependence. We concluded that common ADH variants conferred risk for both schizophrenia in African-Americans and autism in European-Americans. 相似文献

Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an NAD(H)-dependent oxidoreductase that catalyzes the oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes. Structurally and biochemically distinct from all the reported ADHs (typically, the mammalian medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase-ethanol-metabolizing enzyme), it stands as the only small-alcohol transforming system that has originated from a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) ancestor. The crystal structures of the apo, binary (E.NAD(+)) and three ternary (E.NAD(+).acetone, E.NAD(+).3-pentanone and E.NAD(+).cyclohexanone) forms of Drosophila lebanonensis ADH have allowed us to infer the structural and kinetic features accounting for the generation of the ADH activity within the SDR lineage. 相似文献

Drosophila fat body protein P6 and alcohol dehydrogenase are derived from a common ancestral protein
Summary
Drosophila melanogaster alcohol dehydrogenase is an example of convergent evolution: it is not related to the ADHs of other organisms, but to short-chain dehydrogenases, which until now have been found only in bacteria and in mammalian steroid hormone metabolism. We present evidence that theDrosophila ADH is phylogenetically more closely related to P6, another highly expressed protein from the fat body ofDrosophila, than it is to the short-chain dehydrogenases. The polypeptide sequence of P6 was inferred from DNA sequence analysis. Both ADH and P6 polypeptides have retained a high structural similarity with respect to the Chou-Fasman prediction of secondary structure and hydropathy. P6 is also homologous to the 25-kd protein from the fat body ofSarcophaga peregrina, whose sequence we have reexamined. The evolution of the P6-ADH family of proteins is characterized by a dramatic increase in the methionine content of P6. Methionine accounts for 20% of P6 amino acids. This is in contrast with the absence of this amino acid in mature ADH. There is evidence that P6 and the 25-kd protein have undergone a parallel and independent enrichment in methionine. When corrected for this, the rate of amino acid replacement shows that the P6-25-kd lineage diverged from insect ADH shortly before the divergence of the ADH gene (Adh) from its 3-duplication (Adhdup). 相似文献

Human class I alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes show developmental and tissue specific differences in expression at the polypeptide level. In these studies ADH expression was investigated at the RNA level. Northern blot analysis of total and poly (A) RNA from adult liver using pADH12 probe demonstrated multiple RNA size classes of 2.6, 2.2, 1.9 and 1.6kb. In contrast, fetal liver, and fetal intestine contained only 2.6 and 1.6kb mRNA while fetal lung showed only 2.6kb mRNA. All of these tissues showed a relative reduction in the amount of ADH mRNA present when compared to adult liver. Immunoprecipitation of in vitro translation products of adult liver RNA by polyclonal ADH antibody revealed a single polypeptide of 40,000 daltons. This result points out the homogeneity of size of class I ADH polypeptides despite mRNA size diversity. Variation in length of the 3' untranslated region probably contributes to the multiple size classes of ADH mRNA observed. 相似文献

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is the primary enzyme responsible for metabolism of ethanol to acetaldehyde. One class of ADH has been described in fish, and has been found to be structurally similar to mammalian class III ADH (glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase) but functionally similar to class I ADH (primarily responsible for ethanol metabolism). We have cloned a cDNA by RT-PCR from zebrafish (Danio rerio) liver representing the zebrafish ADH3 gene product, with a coding region of 1131 nucleotides. The deduced amino acid sequences share 90% identity to ADH3 from the marine fish Sparus aurata, and 82 and 81% identity to the mouse and human sequences, respectively. Using a quantitative competitive RT-PCR assay, ADH3 mRNA was detected at all timepoints analyzed and was lowest between 8 and 24 h postfertilization. Thus, differential ADH3 expression may be at least partly responsible for temporal variations in the sensitivity of zebrafish embryos to developmental alcohol exposure. 相似文献

Humans have seven alcohol dehydrogenase genes (ADH) falling into five classes. Three out of the seven genes (ADH1A, ADH1B and ADH1C) belonging to Class I are expressed primarily in liver and code the main enzymes catalyzing ethanol oxidization. The three genes are tandemly arrayed within the ADH cluster on chromosome 4 and have very high nucleotide similarity to each other (exons: >90%; introns: >70%), suggesting the genes have been generated by duplication event(s). One explanation for maintaining similarity of such clustered genes is homogenization via gene conversion(s). Alternatively, recency of the duplications or some other functional constraints might explain the high similarities among the genes. To test for gene conversion, we sequenced introns 2, 3, and 8 of all three Class I genes (total>15.0 kb) for five non-human primates--four great apes and one Old World Monkey (OWM)--and compared them with those of humans. The phylogenetic analysis shows each intron sequence clusters strongly within each gene, giving no evidence for gene conversion(s). Several lines of evidence indicate that the first split was between ADH1C and the gene that gave rise to ADH1A and ADH1B. We also analyzed cDNA sequences of the three genes that have been previously reported in mouse and Catarrhines (OWMs, chimpanzee, and humans) and found that the synonymous and non-synonymous substitution (dN/dS) ratios in all pairs are less than 1 representing purifying selection. This suggests that purifying selection is more important than gene conversion(s) in maintaining the overall sequence similarity among the Class I genes. We speculate that the highly conserved sequences on the three duplicated genes in primates have been achieved essentially by maintaining stability of the hetero-dimer formation that might have been related to dietary adaptation in primate evolution. 相似文献

The amphibian enzyme ADH8, previously named class IV-like, is the only known vertebrate alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) with specificity towards NADP(H). The three-dimensional structures of ADH8 and of the binary complex ADH8-NADP(+) have been now determined and refined to resolutions of 2.2A and 1.8A, respectively. The coenzyme and substrate specificity of ADH8, that has 50-65% sequence identity with vertebrate NAD(H)-dependent ADHs, suggest a role in aldehyde reduction probably as a retinal reductase. The large volume of the substrate-binding pocket can explain both the high catalytic efficiency of ADH8 with retinoids and the high K(m) value for ethanol. Preference of NADP(H) appears to be achieved by the presence in ADH8 of the triad Gly223-Thr224-His225 and the recruitment of conserved Lys228, which define a binding pocket for the terminal phosphate group of the cofactor. NADP(H) binds to ADH8 in an extended conformation that superimposes well with the NAD(H) molecules found in NAD(H)-dependent ADH complexes. No additional reshaping of the dinucleotide-binding site is observed which explains why NAD(H) can also be used as a cofactor by ADH8. The structural features support the classification of ADH8 as an independent ADH class. 相似文献

Enzymatic properties of the protein encoded by newly cloned human alcohol dehydrogenase ADH6 gene. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Five non-allelic genes which encode five types of alcohol dehydrogenase subunits have been identified in humans. An additional gene (ADH6) and cDNA, whose coding sequences were not highly analogous to any of the known alcohol dehydrogenase subunits, were recently cloned (Yasunami et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88, 7610-7614, 1991). The full-length ADH6 cDNA was expressed in the E.coli expression system and in the in vitro translation system of rabbit reticulocytes. The protein produced had its isoelectric point at pH 8.6, optimum pH at pH 10, and a lower Km for benzylalcohol than for ethanol and propanol. These characteristics are compatible to the properties of mu- or sigma-alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme existing in human stomach, indicating that ADH6 gene encodes the mu- or sigma-alcohol dehydrogenase subunit. 相似文献

1. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) and zymogram methods were used to examine the tissue distribution, multiplicity and substrate specificities of alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs), aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) and ocular oxidases (EOXs) from mammalian anterior eye tissues. 2. Baboon, cattle, pig and sheep corneal extracts exhibited high ALDH activities; the corneal ALDHs were distinct from the major liver ALDHs and distinguished by their preference for medium-chain aldehydes. 3. Baboon and pig corneal extracts also showed high ADH activities, by comparison with ovine and bovine samples. Moreover, the ADHs were distinct from the major liver isozymes in pI value and substrate specificity. 4. Mammalian lens extracts exhibited significant ALDH activity of a form corresponding to the major liver cytosolic isozyme. Minor activity of the corneal enzyme was also observed in some species. 5. Lens ADH phenotypes were species-specific, and consisted of either Class II activity (baboon and sheep), Class III ADH activity (pig), or activities of both ADH classes (cattle). 6. Lens extracts also exhibited a complex pattern of ocular oxidase (EOX) activities following IEF. 7. A role in peroxidatic aldehyde detoxification is proposed for these enzymes in anterior eye tissues. 相似文献

We have characterized two cDNA clones from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that display similarity to the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene family. The nucleotide sequences of these cDNAs predict that they encode Zn-containing long-chain ADH enzymes. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that one is most similar to dimeric class III ADHs found in diverse taxa; the other is most similar to the tetrameric forms of ADH previously described only in fungi.
