Cd-substituted horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase: catalytic site metal coordination geometry and protein conformation.

The coordination geometry of the catalytic site in Cd-substituted horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) has been investigated as a function of pH using the method of perturbed angular correlation of gamma-rays (PAC). LADH in solution fully loaded with cadmium, including radioactive 111mCd in the catalytic site [Cd2(111mCd)Cd2LADH], was studied over the pH range 7.9-11.5. Analysis of the PAC spectra showed the ionization of a group with pKa of 11. This pKa value is about 2 pH units higher than that of native zinc-containing LADH. A pKa of 9.6 was found for the binary complex of Cd2(111mCd)Cd2LADH with NAD+. This value is also about 2 pH units higher than that of the binary complex of native zinc-containing enzyme and NAD+. No pH dependency was detected for the binary complex of Cd2(111mCd)Cd2LADH with NADH within the pH range measured (pH 8.3-11.5). Assuming that metal-coordinated water is the ionizing group [Kvassman, J., & Pettersson, G. (1979) Eur. J. Biochem. 100, 115-123], we conclude that the larger ionic radius of Cd(II) relative to Zn(II) in the catalytic site causes the elevated pKa values of metal-bound water. Interpretation of nuclear quadrupole interaction (NQI) parameters derived from PAC spectra is based on the use of the angular overlap model, using the coordinates for the catalytic zinc site from the 1.8 A resolution crystal structure of the ternary complex between LADH, NADH, and dimethyl sulfoxide as a model.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
