| Abstract | Phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (PAD) and lactaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALD) share some structural and kinetic properties. One difference is that PAD can use NAD+ and NADP+, whereas ALD only uses NAD+. An acidic residue has been involved in the exclusion of NADP+ from the active site in pyridine nucleotide-dependent dehydrogenases. However, other factors may participate in NADP+ exclusion. In the present work, analysis of the sequence of the region involved in coenzyme binding showed that residue F180 of ALD might participate in coenzyme specificity. Interestingly, F180T mutation rendered an enzyme (ALD-F180T) with the ability to use NADP+. This enzyme showed an activity of 0.87 micromol/(min * mg) and K(m) for NADP+ of 78 microM. Furthermore, ALD-F180T exhibited a 16-fold increase in the V(m) /K(m) ratio with NAD+ as the coenzyme, from 12.8 to 211. This increase in catalytic efficiency was due to a diminution in K(m) for NAD+ from 47 to 7 microM and a higher V(m) from 0.51 to 1.48 micromol/(min * mg). In addition, an increased K(d) for NADH from 175 (wild-type) to 460 microM (mutant) indicates a faster product release and possibly a change in the rate-limiting step. For wild-type ALD it is described that the rate-limiting step is shared between deacylation and coenzyme dissociation. In contrast, in the present report the rate-limiting step in ALD-F180T was determined to be exclusively deacylation. In conclusion, residue F180 participates in the exclusion of NADP+ from the coenzyme binding site and disturbs the binding of NAD+. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
