  • Title: Bovine lens aldose reductase: tight binding of the pyridine coenzyme.
    Author: Del Corso A, Barsacchi D, Giannessi M, Tozzi MG, Camici M, Houben JL, Zandomeneghi M, Mura U.
    Journal: Arch Biochem Biophys; 1990 Dec; 283(2):512-8. PubMed ID: 2125822.
    Abstract:
    Analysis by HPLC of the protein-free supernatant obtained after denaturation of aldose reductase shows that the native form of the enzyme (ARb) contains a tightly bound NADP+, which is absent in the oxidatively modified form (ARa). The absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectra of ARb and ARa are consistent with the presence of the cofactor only in the native form of aldose reductase. On the other hand, the modified enzyme, in appropriate thiol reducing conditions, can tightly bind NADP+. This indicates a potential reversibility of the modification of aldose reductase, at least in terms of retention of the cofactor.
