Identification of a lipoamide dehydrogenase gene as second locus affected in poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid)-leaky mutants of Alcaligenes eutrophus.

From a genomic library of Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H16 in the broad-host range cosmid pVK100 a 6300-bp EcoRI-fragment was cloned, which restored the wild-type phenotype in transposon-induced poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid)-leaky mutants, derived from A. eutrophus. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the region adjacent to the transposon insertion revealed an open reading frame which complied with all criteria for a coding region. This region was referred to as phbL, and the deduced amino acid sequence from this part of phbL showed 60% amino acid identity in an overlap of 98 residues to the lipoamide dehydrogenase gene (lpd) of Escherichia coli. In addition, the 6300-bp EcoRI-fragment conferred expression of lipoamide dehydrogenase activity to E. coli.

Affinity probing of flavin binding sites. 1. Covalent attachment of 8-(methylsulfonyl)FAD to pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase.

8-(Methylsulfonyl)FAD reacts with a single cysteine residue (Cys449) in pig apolipoamide dehydrogenase to generate a flavinylated enzyme containing covalently bound 8-(cysteinyl)FAD. Competitive behavior is observed in reconstitution reactions containing both FAD and 8-(methylsulfonyl)FAD. Covalently bound 8-(cysteinyl)FAD is shielded from solvent, as judged by spectral comparison with model 8-(alkylthio)-flavins in various solvents. Flavinylated lipoamide dehydrogenase is monomeric and catalytically inactive. Cys449 is located in the interface domain, near the active site histidine (His452). As shown previously, Cys449 is oxidized when native enzyme is treated with cupric ions. Cys449 is close to the isoalloxazine ring of FAD in native enzyme, as judged by alignment of the pig sequence with the structure of the homologous enzyme from Azotobacter vinelandii. The residue corresponding to Cys449 in A. vinlandii lipoamide dehydrogenase (Val447) is about 9 A from the carbonyl oxygen at C(2) in the pyrimidine ring of FAD. Approximation of a substituent at position 8 in FAD with Cys449 requires a 180 degrees flip of the isoalloxazine ring as compared with its orientation in the native structure. The different flavin orientation can explain the absence of dimerization and catalytic activity. Using the same method of apoenzyme preparation, noncovalent binding was observed with 8-chloroFAD, a less reactive flavin analogue. Relatively nonspecific covalent incorporation was observed with 8-chloroFAD when apoenzyme was prepared by an older method used in previous studies with this derivative [Moore, E.G., Cardemil, E., & Massey, V. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 6413-6422].

Crystal structure and functional analysis of lipoamide dehydrogenase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

We report the 2.4 A crystal structure for lipoamide dehydrogenase encoded by lpdC from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Based on the Lpd structure and sequence alignment between bacterial and eukaryotic Lpd sequences, we generated single point mutations in Lpd and assayed the resulting proteins for their ability to catalyze lipoamide reduction/oxidation alone and in complex with other proteins that participate in pyruvate dehydrogenase and peroxidase activities. The results suggest that amino acid residues conserved in mycobacterial species but not conserved in eukaryotic Lpd family members modulate either or both activities and include Arg-93, His-98, Lys-103, and His-386. In addition, Arg-93 and His-386 are involved in forming both "open" and "closed" active site conformations, suggesting that these residues play a role in dynamically regulating Lpd function. Taken together, these data suggest protein surfaces that should be considered while developing strategies for inhibiting this enzyme.

pH-dependent substrate preference of pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase varies with oligomeric state: response to mitochondrial matrix acidification.

Cycling of intracellular pH has recently been shown to play a critical role in ischemia-reperfusion injury. Ischemia-reperfusion also leads to mitochondrial matrix acidification and dysfunction. However, the mechanism by which matrix acidification contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and the resultant cellular injury has not been elucidated. We observe pH-dependent equilibria between monomeric, dimeric, and a previously undescribed tetrameric form of pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase (LADH), a mitochondrial matrix enzyme. Dynamic light scattering studies of native LADH in aqueous solution indicate that lowering pH favors a shift in average molecular mass from higher oligomeric states to monomer. Sedimentation velocity of LADH entrapped in reverse micelles reveals dimer and tetramer at both pH 5.8 and 7.5, but monomer was observed only at pH 5.8. Enzyme activity measurements in reverse Aerosol OT micelles in octane indicate that LADH dimer and tetramer possess lipoamide dehydrogenase and diaphorase activities at pH 7.5. Upon acidification to pH 5.8 only the LADH monomer is active and only the diaphorase activity is observed. These results indicate a correlation between pH-dependent changes in the LADH reaction specificity and its oligomeric state. The acidification of mitochondrial matrix that occurs during ischemia-reperfusion injury is sufficient to alter the structure and enzymatic specificity of LADH, thereby reducing mitochondrial defenses, increasing oxidative stress, and slowing the recovery of energy metabolism. Matrix acidification may also disrupt the quaternary structure of other mitochondrial protein complexes critical for cellular homeostasis and survival.

Inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex from Escherichia coli with a radiolabeled bifunctional arsenoxide: evidence for an essential histidine residue at the active site of lipoamide dehydrogenase.

Incubation of pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (PD complex) from Escherichia coli with thiamin pyrophosphate, pyruvate, coenzyme A, Mg2+, and the radiolabeled bifunctional arsenoxide p-[(bromoacetyl)-amino]phenyl arsenoxide (BrCH214CONHPhAsO) led to the irreversible loss of lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) activity. The mode of inactivation occurred by initial "anchoring" of the reagent via its -AsO group to reduced lipoyl residues on lipoate acetyltransferase (E2) (generated by substrates) followed by the delivery of the BrCH214CO- moiety into the active site of E3 where an irreversible alkylation ensued [Stevenson, K. J., Hale, G., & Perham, R. N. (1978) Biochemistry 17, 2189]. To account for nonspecific alkylations, not mediated by this delivery process, control experiments were conducted in which the radiolabeled bifunctional reagent was incubated with PD complex in the absence of substrates. E3 subunits were isolated from inhibited and control PD complexes by chromatography on hydroxylapatite in the presence of 8 M urea. Acid hydrolysis of the alkylated E3 and control E3 samples produced radiolabeled carboxymethylated amino acids that were identified and quantitated by high-voltage electrophoresis and amino acid/radiochemical analysis. The inhibited sample contained N3-(carboxymethyl)histidine and a small amount of S-(carboxymethyl)cysteine. These residues were not present in significant amounts in the controls. The loss of 81% of E3 activity correlated with the alkylation of about 0.7 residue of histidine and 0.1 residue of cysteine per mol of E3.

Lipoamide dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli. Steady-state kinetics of the physiological reaction.

Lipoamide dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli operates qualitatively by the same mechanism as the enzyme from pig heart. It has been suggested that quantitative differences between the two, in particular the marked inhibition of the bacterial enzyme by its product NADH, are related to the fact that the E. coli enzyme lacks the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation control present in the mammalian enzyme (Wilkinson, K. D., and Williams, C. H., Jr. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 2307-2314). Because of the inhibition by NADH, the kinetics of the E. coli enzyme have not been studied previously in the physiological direction with the natural substrate, dihydrolipoamide. We have now measured the steady-state kinetics of the oxidation of dihydrolipoamide by NAD+ using the stopped-flow technique to follow only the early time course. The pH dependence of kcat revealed an apparent pKa value of 6.7, reflecting ionization(s) of the enzyme-substrate complex. The pH dependence of kcat/Km gave an apparent pKa of 7.4 reflecting ionization(s) of the free 2-electron-reduced enzyme. The inhibition pattern for NADH was mixed, consistent with the fact that NADH is both a product inhibitor and inhibits by reducing a fraction of the enzyme to the catalytically inactive 4-electron-reduced state. There is a modest pH-dependent positive cooperativity in the saturation curve for NAD+ decreasing with increasing pH. Spectral changes in the 530 and 446 nm bands of the 2-electron-reduced enzyme, associated with the titration of the nascent thiols and the base, showed tentative pKa values of 6.4 and 7.1, respectively, in a pH jump experiment. The properties of the wild type E. coli enzyme can now be compared with those of several site-directed mutants.

[Inactivation of the myocardial lipoamide dehydrogenase by catecholamines. Prevention by captopril and other thiol compounds].

Inactivation of lipoamide dehydrogenase (LipDH) by the Cu(II)/H2O2 Fenton system (SF-Cu(II): (5.0 microM Cu(II), 3.0 mM H2O2) was enhanced by catecholamines (CAs), namely, epinephrine, levoDOPA (DOPA), DOPAMINE, 6-hydroxyDOPAMINE (OH-DOPAMINE) and related compounds (DOPAC, CATECHOL, etc.). After 5 min incubation with the Cu(II)/H2O2/CA system (0.4 mM CA), the enzyme activity decayed as indicated by the following percentage values (mean +/- S.D.; in parenthesis, number of determinations): SF-Cu(II) alone, 43 +/- 10 (18); SF-Cu(II) + epinephrine, 80 +/- 9 (5); SF-Cu(II) + DOPA, 78 +/- 2 (4); SF + Cu(II) + DOPAMINE, 88 +/- 7 (5); SF-Cu(II) + OH-DOPAMINE 87 +/- 6 (7); SF-Cu(II) +/- DOPAC, 88 +/- 3 (6); SF-Cu(II) + catechol, 85 +/- 6 (5). In all cases P < 0.05, with respect to the SF-Cu(II) control sample. CAs effect was concentration-dependent and at the 0-100 microM concentration range, it varied with the CA structure. Above the 100 microM concentration, CAs were equally effective and produced 90-100% enzyme, inactivation (Figure 2). In the absence of oxy-radical generation, the enzyme specific activity (mean +/- S.D.) was 149 +/- 10 (24) mumol NADH/min/mg protein. Assay of HO. production by the Cu(II)/H2O2/CA system in the presence of deoxyribose (TBA assay) yielded values much greater than those obtained omitting CA. Hydroxyl radical production depended on the presence of Cu(II) and H2O2 and significant H. values were obtained with OH-DOPAMINE, DOPAC, epinephrine, DOPAMINE, DOPA and catecol supplemented systems (Table 2). LipDH (1.0 microM) inhibited 50-80% deoxyribose oxidation, the inhibition depending on the CA structure (Table 2). Native catalase (20 micrograms/ml) and bovine serum albumin (40 micrograms/ml) effectively prevented LipDH inactivation by the Cu(II)/H2O2/CA system; denaturated catalase, SOD, 0.3 M mannitol, 6.0 mM ethanol and 0.2 M benzoate were less effective or did not protect LipDH (Table 3). Incubation of CAs with the Cu(II)/H2O2 system produced a time and Cu(II)-dependent destruction of CAs, the corresponding o-quinone, production as illustrated with epinephrine (figures 6 and 7), as illustrated with epinephrine and DOPAMINE (Table 4). These results support LipDH inactivation by (a) reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) by CAs followed by Cu-catalyzed production of HO. from H2O2; (b) CA oxidation followed by the corresponding o-quinone interaction with LipDH. CAPTOPRIL, N-acetylcysteine, mercaptopropionylglycine and penicillamine prevented to various degree LipDH inactivation by the Cu(II)/H2O2/CA systems (Table 1). The former was the most effective and 0.4 mM CAPTOPRIL prevented about 95-100% the effect of Cu(II)/H2O2/CA systems supplemented with epinephrine, DOPAMINE and OH-DOPAMINE (Figures 3 and Table 1). LipDH increased and CAPTOPRIL inhibited epinephrine oxidation by Cu(II)/H2O2 (Figures 4 and 5). Since un-physiological concentrations of CAs and Cu(II) may be released in the myocardium after ischemia-reperfusion, the summarized observations may contribute to explain myocardial damage in that condition.

Differential reactivity of the two active site cysteine residues generated on reduction of pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase.

Reduction of the active center disulfide bond in the flavoprotein pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase generates two sulfur moieties which are chemically inequivalent in the 2-electron reduced form of the enzyme. Thus 1 cysteine residue is at least 13-fold more reactive than its partner toward iodoacetamide at pH 7.6. This selectivity was demonstrated by reaction of the 2-electron reduced enzyme with a low concentration of iodo[1-14C]acetamide under anaerobic conditions. The formation of a monolabeled derivative is accompanied by the reappearance of a spectrum of oxidized bound flavin, clearly different from that of the native enzyme. Alkylation of the remaining cysteine residues with iodo[12C]acetamide enabled the isolation of a tryptic version of the active center disulfide peptide. A single chymotryptic cleavage between the 2 alkylated cysteine residues generated a cationic and an anionic fragment containing 7% and 93% of the radioactivity of the purified tryptic peptide, respectively. The monolabeled derivative is catalytically inactive toward reduced or oxidized lipoamide, but is approximately 2-fold better as a transhydrogenase than the native protein using NADH and acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide as substrates. Anaerobic titration with NADH leads to reduction of the flavin with concomitant formation of long wavelength absorption of low intensity. No intermediate reduced states were detected in this titration analogous to the red 2-electron form observed with the native enzyme. Similarly, intermediates during reduction of the enzyme by 1 eq of dithionite have not been detected.

[Lipoamide dehydrogenase, citrate synthase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase in skeletal muscles. IV. The effect of storage of bovine and swine muscles at 2 degrees C on their activity and subcellular distribution].

Postmortem storage of bovine and porcine semimembranosus muscle under refrigeration (+2 degrees C) for 14 days did not result in a significant decrease of the total activity of the mitochondrial enzymes citrate synthase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, but caused a loss of the activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase. During storage of the muscle tissue there was no detectable release of the three enzymes from the mitochondria into the sarcoplasmic fluid. Therefore, storage of muscle under the conditions used seems not to result in any remarkable damage of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

[Lipoamide dehydrogenase, citrate synthase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase of skeletal muscle. V. Effect of storage of muscles from sheep, game and poultry at +2 degrees C on activity and subcellular distribution].

Postmortem storage under refrigeration (+2 degrees C) for 7 days of the semimembranosus muscles from sheep, hare and roe deer and of the breast and leg muscles from chicken and duck did not result in a significant decrease of the total activities of the mitochondrial enzymes citrate synthase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase but caused a loss of the activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase (except in chicken muscle). During storage of the muscle tissue, there was no detectable release of the three enzymes from the mitochondria into the sarcoplasmic fluid except in venison at the point of spoilage. Therefore, storage of muscle under our conditions does not result in notable damage of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

Kinetic and spectroscopic studies of transhydrogenase activity and nucleotide site of lipoamide dehydrogenase.

The kinetic behavior and spectroscopic characteristics of the nucleotide site(s) of lipoamide dehydrogenase have been investigated. Both subunits of the dimeric enzyme interact with NAD+. The binding of NAD+ is associated with a negative trough around 420-450 nm and a positive peak at 507 nm of the difference spectrum. The transhydrogenation between NADH and thionicotinamide nucleotide or acetylpyridine nucleotide is shown to proceed via a Ping Pong or an ordered Bi Bi mechanism, respectively, at pH above 7.0. Lowering pH or acetamidation lose the spectral characteristic of the positive peak of the enzyme-NAD+ complex with a concurrent change in the kinetic mechanism in the NADH+-acetylpyridine nucleotide transhydrogenation.

Modification of pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase by cupric ions.

The insertion of a second disulfide bridge into native pig heart lipoamide dehydrogenase, requires two Cu-2+ ions for each catalytic center inactivated under anaerobic conditions. During inactivation, both metal atoms become reducible by their juxtaposition to the two participating cysteine residues and may be removed as the Cu+-chelates of neocuproine and bathocuproinesulfonate, leaving an additional disulfide bridge on the protein. Inactivation does not require the presence of oxygen, but when substoichiometric levels of copper are used under aerobic conditions the slow regeneration of Cu-2+ becomes rate-limiting. The course of aerobic inactivation is markedly biphasic at 0 degrees using 2 Cu-2+/FAD, with 30% of the total change completed rapidly, followed by a much slower phase. Both the extent of the fast phase and the rate of the second phase are enhanced by increasing levels of Cu-2+, but are relatively unaffected when the Cu-2+/FAD ratio is maintained at 2 and the protein concentration is varied. The enzyme affords several binding sites for Cu-2+ at pH 7.8, and it is suggested that competition between these sites during the initial statistical distribution of metal ions may explain this biphasic behavior.

Lipoamide dehydrogenase: rapid heat inactivation in platelets of patients with recessively inherited ataxia.

The activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase was abnormally heat-labile in homogenized platelets from seven patients with as recessive ataxia conforming to the syndrome of Friedreich ataxia or clinical variants. Taken together, the abnormality and previous findings of low activity and abnormal kinetic properties are compatible with a change in the conformation of the enzyme in these patients.

[Lipoamide dehydrogenase, citrate synthase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase of skeletal muscle. 9. Influence of frozen storage of musculature of sheep, game and poultry on activity and subcellular distribution].

Frozen storage at -20 degrees C for three months and thawing of muscles from sheep, hare and deer, and of the breast and leg muscles from chicken and duck did not result in significant changes in the extractable total activities of the mitochondrial enzymes citrate synthase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase; however there was a decrease in the total activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase except in the chicken leg muscle, where such a decrease did not occur. From the increase in the activities of the three enzymes in the muscle press juice it was concluded that - additionally to the effect of freezing and thawing itself - frozen storage results in further damage to the inner membrane of muscle mitochondria which is signalled by the release of membrane-bound enzymes. Chicken muscle mitochondria seem to be more stable against frozen storage of the tissue than the mitochondria in the muscles of the other species studied (including bovine and porcine muscle).

Lipid peroxidation of erythrocyte membrane induced by lipoamide dehydrogenase in the presence of ADP-Fe3+.

Lipid peroxidation of rat erythrocyte membranes was induced by lipoamide dehydrogenase (LADH) (EC 1.8.1.4) in the presence of ADP-Fe3+. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) (EC 1.15.1.1) strongly inhibited the peroxidation reaction but catalase did not. Hydroxyl radical scavengers, mannitol and dimethylsulfoxide did not inhibit the lipid peroxidation. These results indicated that the lipid peroxidation was a superoxide (O2-)-dependent reaction, but the hydroxyl radical was not involved. ADP-Fe3+, in the presence of LADH, was reduced more rapidly under aerobic than anaerobic conditions and SOD under aerobic conditions strongly inhibited the iron reduction, indicating that O2- plays a predominant role in iron reduction. Hydrogen peroxide enhanced O2- generation by LADH, but the peroxidation reaction was not affected. In the presence of lipoamide, lipid peroxidation was also induced but the reactions were not inhibited by SOD. Evidently, the lipid peroxidation induced in the presence of lipoamide was O2(-)-independent. Dihydrolipoamide may be involved in the peroxidation reaction.
