Glatt, Hansruedi published the artcileDetoxification of promutagenic aldehydes derived from methylpyrenes by human aldehyde dehydrogenases ALDH2 and ALDH3A1, Application of Pyrene-2-carboxylic acid, the main research area is detoxification promutagen pyrene aldehyde human dehydrogenase.
Methylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be metabolically activated via benzylic hydroxylation and sulfo conjugation to reactive esters, which can induce mutations and tumors. Yet, further oxidation of the alc. may compete with this toxification. We previously demonstrated that several human alc. dehydrogenases (ADH1C, 2, 3 and 4) oxidize various benzylic alcs. (derived from alkylated pyrenes) to their aldehydes with high catalytic efficiency. However, all these ADHs also catalyzed the reverse reaction, the reduction of the aldehydes to the alcs., with comparable or higher efficiency. Thus, final detoxification requires elimination of the aldehydes by further biotransformation. We have expressed two human aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH2 and 3A1) in bacteria. All pyrene aldehydes studied (1-, 2- and 4-formylpyrene, 1-formyl-6-methylpyrene and 1-formyl-8-methylpyrene) were high-affinity substrates for ALDH2 (K m = 0.027-0.9 μM) as well as ALDH3A1 (K m = 0.78-11 μM). Catalytic efficiencies (k cat/K m) were higher for ALDH2 than ALDH3A1 by a moderate to a very large margin depending on the substrate. Most important, they were also substantially higher than the catalytic efficiencies of the various ADHs for the reduction the aldehydes to the alcs. These kinetic properties ensure that ALDHs, and particularly ALDH2, can complete the ADH-mediated detoxification.
