STRUCTURES OF HORSE LIVER ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEXED WITH NAD+ AND SUBSTITUTED BENZYL ALCOHOLS
Overview
Structures of the enzyme complexed with NAD+ and, 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl alcohol were determined by X-ray, crystallography at a resolution of 2.1 A and to a refinement R value of, 18.3% for a monoclinic (P2(1)) form and to 2.4 A and an R value of 18.9%, for a triclinic crystal form. The pentafluorobenzyl alcohol does not, react, due to electron withdrawal by the fluorine atoms. A structure with, NAD+ and p-bromobenzyl alcohol in the monoclinic form was also determined, at 2.5 A and an R value of 16.7%. The conformations of the subunits in the, monoclinic and triclinic crystal forms are very similar. The dimer is the, asymmetric unit, and a rigid body rotation closes the cleft between the, coenzyme and catalytic domains upon complex formation. In the monoclinic, form, this conformational change is described by a rotation of 9 degrees, in one subunit and 10 degrees in the other. The pentafluoro- and, p-bromobenzyl alcohols bind in overlapping positions. The hydroxyl group, of each alcohol is ligated to the catalytic zinc and participates in an, extensive hydrogen-bonded network that includes the imidazole group of, His-51, which can act as a base and shuttle a proton to solvent. The, hydroxymethyl carbon of the pentafluorobenzyl alcohol is 3.4 A from C4 of, the nicotinamide ring, and the pro-R hydrogen is in a good position for, direct transfer to C4. The p-bromobenzyl alcohol may react after small, rotations around single bonds of the alcohol. These structures should, approximate the active Michaelis-Menten complexes.
