Aldehyde oxidases (AOXs) are molybdoflavoenzymes with an important role in the metabolism and detoxification of heterocyclic compounds and aliphatic as well as aromatic aldehydes. The enzymes use oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor and produce reduced oxygen species during turnover. Four different enzymes, mAOX1, mAOX3, mAOX4, and mAOX2, which are the products of distinct genes, are present in the mouse. A direct and simultaneous comparison of the enzymatic properties and characteristics of the four enzymes has never been performed. In this report, the four catalytically active mAOX enzymes were purified after heterologous expression in Escherichia coli . The kinetic parameters of the four mouse AOX enzymes were determined and compared with the use of six predicted substrates of physiologic and toxicological interest, i.e., retinaldehyde, N 1-methylnicotinamide, pyridoxal, vanillin, 4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde ( p- DMAC), and salicylaldehyde. While retinaldehyde, vanillin, p- DMAC, and salycilaldehyde are efficient substrates for the four mouse AOX enzymes, N 1-methylnicotinamide is not a substrate of mAOX1 or mAOX4, and pyridoxal is not metabolized by any of the purified enzymes. Overall, mAOX1, mAOX2, mAOX3, and mAOX4 are characterized by significantly different KM and kcat values for the active substrates. The four mouse AOXs are also characterized by quantitative differences in their ability to produce superoxide radicals. With respect to this last point, mAOX2 is the enzyme generating the largest rate of superoxide radicals of around 40% in relation to moles of substrate converted, and mAOX1, the homolog to the human enzyme, produces a rate of approximately 30% of superoxide radicals with the same substrate.
醛氧化酶(AOXs)是一种钼多黄酶类,在杂环化合物、脂肪族和芳香族醛的代谢和解毒过程中发挥着重要作用。这些酶使用氧作为终端电子受体,并在转化过程中产生还原氧。小鼠体内有四种不同的酶,即 mAOX1、mAOX3、mAOX4 和 mAOX2,它们是不同基因的产物。目前还从未对这四种酶的酶学特性和特征进行过直接和同时的比较。本报告在大肠杆菌中异源表达后,纯化了四种具有催化活性的 mAOX 酶。测定了四种小鼠 AOX 酶的动力学参数,并使用六种具有生理和毒理学意义的预测底物(即视黄醛、N 1-甲基烟酰胺、吡哆醛、香兰素、4-(二甲基氨基)肉桂醛(p- DMAC)和水杨醛)进行了比较。虽然视黄醛、香兰素、对二甲基氨基肉桂醛和水杨醛是四种小鼠 AOX 酶的有效底物,但 N 1-甲基烟酰胺不是 mAOX1 或 mAOX4 的底物,任何纯化的酶都不能代谢吡哆醛。总体而言,mAOX1、mAOX2、mAOX3 和 mAOX4 对活性底物的 KM 值和 kcat 值有显著差异。这四种小鼠 AOX 在产生超氧自由基的能力上也存在数量上的差异。关于最后一点,mAOX2 是产生超氧自由基速率最大的酶,与转化的底物摩尔数相比,约为 40%,而与人类酶同源的 mAOX1 在底物相同的情况下产生超氧自由基的速率约为 30%。
