Research Article Many Orientals lack the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) activity responsible for the oxidation of acetaldehyde produced during ethanol metabolism. These individuals suffer the alcohol-flush reaction when they drink alcoholic beverages. The alcohol-flush reaction is the result of excessive acetaldehyde accumulation, and the unpleasant symptoms tend to reduce alcohol consumption. The subunit of this homotetrameric enzyme was sequenced and the abnormality in the inactive enzyme shown to be a substitution of lysine for glutamate at position 487. We have used the polymerase chain reaction to determine the genotypes of 24 livers from Japanese individuals. Correlating genotype with phenotype leads to the conclusion that the allele (ALDH2(2)) encoding the abnormal subunit is dominant.

  • The Aldehyde Dehydrogenase ALDH2*2 Allele Exhibits Dominance Over ALDH2*1 in Transduced Hela Cells
    The aldehyde dehydrogenase ALDH2*2 allele exhibits dominance over ALDH2*1 in transduced HeLa cells. Q Xiao, … , T Johnston, D W Crabb J Clin Invest. 1995;96(5):2180-2186. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI118272. Research Article Individuals heterozygous or homozygous for the variant aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) allele (ALDH2*2), which encodes a protein differing only at residue 487 from the normal protein, have decreased ALDH2 activity in liver extracts and experience cutaneous flushing when they drink alcohol. The mechanisms by which this allele exerts its dominant effect is unknown. To study this effect, the human ALDH2*1 cDNA was cloned and the ALDH2*2 allele was generated by site-directed mutagenesis. These cDNAs were transduced using retroviral vectors into HeLa and CV1 cells, which do not express ALDH2. The normal allele directed synthesis of immunoreactive ALDH2 protein (ALDH2E) with the expected isoelectric point. Extracts of these cells contained increased aldehyde dehydrogenase activity with low Km for the aldehyde substrate. The ALDH2*2 allele directed synthesis of mRNA and immunoreactive protein (ALDH2K), but the protein lacked enzymatic activity. When ALDH2*1-expressing cells were transduced with ALDH2*2 vectors, both mRNAs were expressed and immunoreactive proteins with isoelectric points ranging between those of ALDH2E and ALDH2K were present, indicating that the subunits formed heteromers. ALDH2 activity in these cells was reduced below that of the parental ALDH2*1-expressing cells. Thus, the ALDH2*2 allele is sufficient to cause ALDH2 deficiency in vitro.

We, for the first time, could functionally express recombinant PsCODH in E. coli and obtained a highly concentrated recombinant enzyme using an easy and convenient method. Its electron acceptor spectra, optimum −1 conditions (pH 6.5 and 30 °C), and kinetic parameters (kcat of 12.97 s , Km of 0.065 mM, and specific activity of 0.86 Umg−1) were examined. Blast furnace gas (BFG) containing 20% CO, which is a waste gas from the steel-making process, was tested as a substrate for PsCODH. Even with BFG, the recombinant PsCODH retained 88.2% and 108.4% activity compared with those of pure CO and 20% CO, respectively. The results provide not only a promising strategy to utilize CO-containing industrial waste gases as cheap, abundant, and renewable resources but also significant information for further studies about cascade reactions producing value-added chemicals via CO2 as an intermediate produced by a CODH- based CO-utilization system, which would ultimately expand the versatility of CODH. Carbon monoxide (CO), which is a pollutant in the atmosphere, is massively emitted through both natural (e.g., production by plants and volcanic activity) and artificial processes (e.g., incomplete combustion of fuels and industrial processes)1–3.

  • How Is Alcohol Metabolized by the Body?
    Overview: How Is Alcohol Metabolized by the Body? Samir Zakhari, Ph.D. Alcohol is eliminated from the body by various metabolic mechanisms. The primary enzymes involved are aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), cytochrome P450 (CYP2E1), and catalase. Variations in the genes for these enzymes have been found to influence alcohol consumption, alcohol-related tissue damage, and alcohol dependence. The consequences of alcohol metabolism include oxygen deficits (i.e., hypoxia) in the liver; interaction between alcohol metabolism byproducts and other cell components, resulting in the formation of harmful compounds (i.e., adducts); formation of highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (i.e., reactive oxygen species [ROS]) that can damage other cell components; changes in the ratio of NADH to NAD+ (i.e., the cell’s redox state); tissue damage; fetal damage; impairment of other metabolic processes; cancer; and medication interactions. Several issues related to alcohol metabolism require further research.

  • Associations of Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol Flush Reaction with Leukocyte Telomere Length in Korean Adults
    Nutrition Research and Practice 2017;11(4):334-339 ⓒ2017 The Korean Nutrition Society and the Korean Society of Community Nutrition http://e-nrp.org Associations of alcohol consumption and alcohol flush reaction with leukocyte telomere length in Korean adults Hyewon Wang, Hyungjo Kim and Inkyung Baik§ Department of Foods and Nutrition, College of Science and Technology, Kookmin University, 77, Jeongnung-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 02707, Korea BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Telomere length is a useful biomarker for determining general aging status. Some studies have reported an association between alcohol consumption and telomere length in a general population; however, it is unclear whether the alcohol flush reaction, which is an alcohol-related trait predominantly due to acetaldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency, is associated with telomere length. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the associations of alcohol consumption and alcohol flush reaction with leukocyte telomere length (LTL). SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study included 1,803 Korean adults. Participants provided blood specimens for LTL measurement assay and reported their alcohol drinking status and the presence of an alcohol flush reaction via a questionnaire-based interview. Relative LTL was determined by using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analysis used multiple linear regression models stratified by sex and age groups, and potential confounding factors were considered. RESULTS: Age-specific analyses showed that heavy alcohol consumption (> 30 g/day) was strongly associated with a reduced LTL in participants aged ≥ 65 years (P < 0.001) but not in younger participants. Similarly, the alcohol flush reaction was associated with a reduced LTL only in older participants who consumed > 15 g/day of alcohol (P < 0.01).

Read Full License Page 1/15 Abstract Background: Hyperthermophilic fermentation at temperatures above 80 °C allows in situ product removal to mitigate the ethanol toxicity, and reduces microbial contamination without autoclaving/cooling of feedstock. Many species of Thermotoga grow at temperatures up to 90 °C, and have enzymes to degrade and utilize lignocelluloses, which provide advantages for achieving consolidated processes of cellulosic ethanol production. However, no CoA-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase (CoA-Aldh) from any hyperthermophiles has been documented in literature so far. The pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductases from hyperthermophiles have pyruvate decarboxylase activity, which convert about 2% and 98% of pyruvate to acetaldehyde and acetyl-CoA (ac-CoA), respectively. Acetyl-CoA can be converted to acetic acid, if there is no CoA-Aldh

    REVIEW Effect of the allelic variants of aldehyde dehydrogenase ALDH2*2 and alcohol dehydrogenase ADH1B*2 on blood acetaldehyde concentrations Giia-Sheun Peng1 and Shih-Jiun Yin2* 1Department of Neurology, Tri-Service General Hospital, 325 Chenggong Road Section 2, Taipei 114, Taiwan 2Department of Biochemistry, National Defense Medical Center, 161 Minchuan East Road Section 6, Taipei 114, Taiwan *Correspondence to: Tel: þ886 2 8792 3100 ext 18800; Fax: þ886 2 8792 4818; E-mail: [email protected] Date received (in revised form): 30th July 2008 Abstract Alcoholism is a complex behavioural disorder. Molecular genetics studies have identified numerous candidate genes associated with alcoholism. It is crucial to verify the disease susceptibility genes by correlating the pinpointed allelic variations to the causal phenotypes. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) are the principal enzymes responsible for ethanol metabolism in humans. Both ADH and ALDH exhibit functional polymorphisms among racial populations; these polymorphisms have been shown to be the important genetic determinants in ethanol metabolism and alcoholism. Here, we briefly review recent advances in genomic studies of human ADH/ALDH families and alcoholism, with an emphasis on the pharmacogenetic consequences of venous blood acetaldehyde in the different ALDH2 genotypes following the intake of various doses of ethanol. This paper illustrates a paradigmatic example of phenotypic verifications in a protective disease gene for substance abuse.
