  • Title: Modification of NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase by the 2',3'-dialdehyde derivatives of NAD, NADH, NADP, and NADPH.

    Journal: Arch Biochem Biophys; 1988 Aug 01; 264(2):665-77. PubMed ID: 3401017.
    Abstract:
    The 2',3'-dialdehyde nicotinamide ribose derivatives of NAD (oNAD) and NADH (oNADH) have been prepared enzymatically from the corresponding 2',3'-dialdehyde analogs of NADP and NADPH. Pig heart NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase requires NAD as coenzyme but binds NADPH, as well as NADH, ADP, and ATP, at regulatory sites. Incubation of 1-3 mM oNAD or oNADH with this isocitrate dehydrogenase causes a time-dependent decrease in activity to a limiting value 40% that of the initial enzyme, suggesting that reaction does not occur at the catalytic coenzyme site. Upon varying the concentration of oNAD or oNADH from 0.2 to 3 mM, the inactivation rate constants increase in a nonlinear manner, consistent with reversible binding of oNAD and oNADH to the enzyme prior to covalent reaction. Inactivation is accompanied by incorporation of radioactive reagent with extrapolation to 0.54 mol [14C]oNAD or 0.45 mol [14C]oNADH/mol average enzyme subunit (or about 2 mol reagent/mol enzyme tetramer) when the enzyme is maximally inactivated; this value corresponds to the number of reversible binding sites for each of the natural ligands of isocitrate dehydrogenase. The protection against oNAD or oNADH inactivation by NADH, NADPH, and ADP (but not by isocitrate, NAD, or NADP) indicates that reaction occurs in the region of a nucleotide regulatory site. In contrast to the effects of oNAD and oNADH, oNADP and oNADPH cause total inactivation of the NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, concomitant with incorporation, respectively, of about 3.5 mol [14C]oNADP or 1.3 mol [14C]oNADPH/mol average subunit. Reaction rates exhibit a linear dependence on [oNADP] or [oNADPH] and protection by natural ligands against inactivation is not striking. These results imply that oNADP and oNADPH are acting in this case as general chemical modifiers and indicate the importance of the free adenosine 2'-OH of oNAD and oNADH for specific labeling of the NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. The new availability of 2',3'-dialdehyde nicotinamide ribose derivatives of NAD, NADH, NADP, and NADPH may allow selection of the appropriate reactive coenzyme analog for affinity labeling of a variety of dehydrogenases.
