Abstract
The mouse hepatoma cell line Hepa-1 was shown to express an aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) isozyme which was inducible by TCDD and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The induced activity could be detected with benzaldehyde as substrate and NADP as cofactor (B/NADP ALDH). As compared with rat liver and hepatoma cell lines, the response was moderate (maximally 5-fold). There was an apparent correlation between this specific form of ALDH and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) in the Hepa-1 wild-type cell line--in terms of inducibility by several chemicals. However, the magnitude of the response was clearly smaller for ALDH than for AHH. Southern blot analysis showed that a homologous gene (class 3 ALDH) was present in the rat and mouse genome. The gene was also expressed in Hepa-1 and there was a good correlation between the increase of class 3 ALDH-specific mRNA and B/NADP ALDH enzyme activity after exposure of the Hepa-1 cells to TCDD. It is concluded that class 3 ALDH is inducible by certain chemicals in the mouse hepatoma cell line, although the respective enzyme is not inducible in mouse liver in vivo.

Abstract
To conclude, the last several years have seen a resurgence of interest in the biosynthesis of bile acids. This focus has come about due to the central roles that these molecules play in cholesterol and fat metabolism and due to recent advances in their chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. The application of probes generated by these methodologies has begun to generate novel insight into bile acid metabolism, regulation, and genetics. The next several years should be equally exciting.

Abstract
Phenobarbital (PB) and certain structurally-related compounds induce a variety of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes in many strains of rats. Thus, following administration of PB (300, 500 ppm), barbital (BB, 1500 ppm) or 5-ethyl-5-phenylhydantoin (EPH, 500 ppm), CYP2B1-mediated benzyloxyresorufin O-dealkylase activity and epoxide hydrolase activity were profoundly induced in female DA and F344/NCr rats. In contrast, outbred female lean and obese Zucker rats showed markedly reduced CYP2B1 responses (less than 15% and less than 5% of those observed in the female DA or F344/NCr rat) to PB (doses less than or equal to 300 ppm), BB (1500 ppm) or EPH (500 ppm). In parallel studies, profound increases in RNA levels coding for CYP2B1, glutathione S-transferases Ya/Yc (alpha subclass), or epoxide hydrolase were detected in the female F344/NCr rat following treatment with PB (300 ppm), BB (1500 ppm) or EPH (500 ppm). In contrast, lean Zucker rats showed a strong response only to the highest dose of PB (500 ppm), implying that the diminished response in the Zucker rats may occur at some pretranslational level. Similar studies with lower doses of PB, EPH or BB in male lean Zucker rats showed a decreased response, relative to that in male F344/NCr rats. However, this insensitivity was not as profound as that observed in the female Zucker rats. In fact, the response to PB-type inducers in male or female Zucker rats is probably most clearly explained as a shift of the dose-response curve sharply to the right (decreased responsiveness, compared to F344/NCr or DA rats of the same sex). This decreased responsiveness of female lean Zucker rats to induction of CYP2B1, relative to that of F344/NCr rats, was also observed with the structurally-diverse PB-type inducers clonazepam, clotrimazole and 2-hexanone. In contrast, the female Zucker rat (obese or lean) displayed a pronounced response to induction of CYP1A-mediated ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity by beta-naphthoflavone, a prototype inducer of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. The Zucker rat would thus appear to represent a potentially exploitable genetic model for examining the mechanism of enzyme induction by the myriad xenobiotics which induce a PB-type response.

Abstract
The effects of a number of phenobarbital-type inducers on selected drug-metabolizing enzymes in male F344/NCr rats were determined by measuring specific catalytic activities and/or by measuring the levels of RNA which hybridize with specific probes for the corresponding genes. The effects on hepatic CYP2B1 were assessed by measuring the levels of CYP2B1-specific RNA and benzyloxyresorufin O-dealkylase and testosterone 16 beta-hydroxylase activities. Levels of CYP3A were monitored by measuring the rate of hydroxylation of testosterone at the 6 beta-position. Microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity was determined by measurement of cellular RNA specific for this form and by assaying the hydrolysis of benzo[a]pyrene-4,5-oxide. UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity was assayed by measuring the glucuronidation of 3-hydroxybenz[a]anthracene. Levels of glutathione S-transferase Ya/Yc were measured by quantifying total cellular RNA coding for the proteins. When male F344/NCr rats were administered various doses of phenobarbital or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), strong correlations between the induction of CYP2B1 and the induction of epoxide hydrolase or UDP-glucuronyltransferase activities were observed. Treatment of rats with barbiturates, hydantoins, halogenated pesticides such as DDT or alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane, 2,4,5,2',4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl, CYP2B1 inhibitors such as clotrimazole or clonazepam, or such structurally-diverse compounds as 2-hexanone or diallyl sulfide resulted in induction of CYP2B1-mediated enzyme activity and induction of certain other forms of cytochrome P450, microsomal epoxide hydrolase, at least one form of UDP-glucuronyltransferase, and multiple forms of glutathione S-transferase. This suggests that, as a class, compounds which induce CYP2B1 also induce a coordinate hepatic pleiotropic response which includes induction of these other phase I and phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes.

Abstract
A cDNA clone corresponding to chicken aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) mRNA was isolated from a library representing the polyadenylated RNAs expressed in the retina of day 3.5 chick embryos. The profile of ALDH RNA expression was examined in different tissues as well as at different stages of development in the chick embryo. A notable feature of this analysis was the high level of ALDH transcripts found in the undifferentiated cells of the retina. A 20-fold decrease in ALDH RNA levels was observed upon retinal differentiation, in contrast to the kidney, liver and gut where tissue maturation was accompanied by an increase in ALDH mRNA levels. The observations reported here suggest an important role for the ALDH enzyme in retinal development. One possibility is that retinal, the aldehyde form of vitamin A, serves as a substrate for ALDH in the developing retina, resulting in the formation of retinoic acid which has been implicated in various differentiation processes.

Abstract
The N-terminal amino acid sequence of purified acetaldehyde dehydrogenase II (AcDH-II) from ethanol-grown cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus was determined. By using oligonucleotides deduced from this sequence the structural gene for AcDH-II, which was referred to as acoD, was localized on a 7.2-kbp EcoRI restriction fragment (fragment D), which has been cloned recently (C. Fründ, H. Priefert, A. Steinbüchel, and H. G. Schlegel, J. Bacteriol. 171:6539-6548, 1989). A 2.8-kbp PstI subfragment of D, which harbored acoD, was sequenced. It revealed an open reading frame of 1,518 bp, encoding a protein with a relative molecular weight of 54,819. The insertions of Tn5::mob of two transposon-induced mutants of A. eutrophus, which were impaired in the catabolism of acetoin, were mapped 483 or 1,359 bp downstream from the translational start codon of acoD. The structural gene was preceded by a putative Shine-Dalgarno sequence. The transcriptional start site 57 bp upstream of acoD was identified and was preceded by a sequence which exhibited a striking homology to the enterobacterial sigma 54-dependent promoter consensus sequence. This was in accordance with the observation that the expression of acoD and of other acetoin-catabolic genes depended on the presence of an intact rpoN-like gene. Alignments of the amino acid sequence deduced from acoD with the primary structures of aldehyde dehydrogenases from other sources revealed high degrees of homology, amounting to 46.5% identical amino acids.

Abstract
Aldehydes are highly reactive molecules that may have a variety of effects on biological systems. They can be generated from a virtually limitless number of endogenous and exogenous sources. Although some aldehyde-mediated effects such as vision are beneficial, many effects are deleterious, including cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. A variety of enzymes have evolved to metabolize aldehydes to less reactive forms. Among the most effective pathways for aldehyde metabolism is their oxidation to carboxylic acids by aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). ALDHs are a family of NADP-dependent enzymes with common structural and functional features that catalyze the oxidation of a broad spectrum of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. Based on primary sequence analysis, three major classes of mammalian ALDHs--1, 2, and 3--have been identified. Classes 1 and 3 contain both constitutively expressed and inducible cytosolic forms. Class 2 consists of constitutive mitochondrial enzymes. Each class appears to oxidize a variety of substrates that may be derived either from endogenous sources such as amino acid, biogenic amine, or lipid metabolism or from exogenous sources, including aldehydes derived from xenobiotic metabolism. Changes in ALDH activity have been observed during experimental liver and urinary bladder carcinogenesis and in a number of human tumors, including some liver, colon, and mammary cancers. Changes in ALDH define at least one population of preneoplastic cells having a high probability of progressing to overt neoplasms. The most common change is the appearance of class 3 ALDH dehydrogenase activity in tumors arising in tissues that normally do not express this form. The changes in enzyme activity occur early in tumorigenesis and are the result of permanent changes in ALDH gene expression. This review discusses several aspects of ALDH expression during carcinogenesis. A brief introduction examines the variety of sources of aldehydes. This is followed by a discussion of the mammalian ALDHs. Because the ALDHs are a relatively understudied family of enzymes, this section presents what is currently known about the general structural and functional properties of the enzymes and the interrelationships of the various forms. The remainder of the review discusses various aspects of the ALDHs in relation to tumorigenesis. The expression of ALDH during experimental carcinogenesis and what is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying those changes are discussed. This is followed by an extended discussion of the potential roles for ALDH in tumorigenesis. The role of ALDH in the metabolism of cyclophosphamidelike chemotherapeutic agents is described. This work suggests that modulation of ALDH activity may an important determinant of the effectiveness of certain chemotherapeutic agents.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The C-terminal 222 residues of human liver aldehyde dehydrogenase can be aligned with the C-terminal 226 residues of a thiol protease from Dictyostelium discoideum to yield 47 residue identities, including matching active site cysteine residues. A multiple alignment with three more aldehyde dehydrogenases and three more thiol proteases yields three regions with clustered residue similarities. In the tertiary structure of papain, these three regions are in close proximity although widely separated in primary structure, and many conserved residues are located in the active site groove. The three-dimensional relationships, the common thiol ester mechanisms of the enzymes, the locations of exon boundaries in the dehydrogenase and protease genes, and the conservation of internal salt-bridging and disulfide-paired residues in papain, all appear compatible with the hypothesis of an ancestral relationship between thiol proteases and aldehyde dehydrogenases.

Abstract
The meta operon of the Pseudomonas putida TOL plasmid (pWWO) encodes all enzymes of a meta-cleavage pathway for the metabolism of benzoic acids to Krebs-cycle intermediates. We have determined and analysed the nucleic acid sequence of a 3442 bp region of the meta operon containing the xyl-GFJ genes whose products are involved in the post meta-ring fission transformation of catechols. Homology analysis of the xylGFJ gene products revealed evidence of biochemical relatedness, suggested enzymatic mechanisms, and permitted us to propose evolutionary events which may have generated the current variety of aromatic degradative pathways. The xylG gene, which specifies 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (HMSD), was found to encode a protein of 51.7 kDa. The predicted protein sequence exhibits significant homology to eukaryotic aldehyde dehydrogenases (ADHs) and to the products of two other Pseudomonas catabolic genes, i.e. xylC and alkH. Expansion of the ADH superfamily to include these prokaryotic enzymes permitted a broader analysis of functionally critical ADH residues and phylogenetic relationships among superfamily members. The importance of three regions of these enzymes previously thought to be critical to ADH activity was reinforced by this analysis. However glutamine-487, also thought to be critical, is less well conserved. The revised ADH phylogeny proposed here suggests early catabolic ADH divergence with subsequent interkingdom gene exchange. The xylF gene, which specifies 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde hydrolase (HMSH), was delineated by N-terminal sequence analysis of the purified gene product and is shown to encode a protein of 30.6 kDa. Homology analysis revealed sequence similarity to a chromosomally encoded serine hydrolase, especially in the region of the previously identified active-site serine residue, suggesting that HMSH may also possess a serine hydrolytic enzymatic mechanism. Likewise, the xylJ gene, which specifies 2-hydroxy-pent-2,4-dienoate hydratase (HPH), was delineated by N-terminal sequence analysis of purified HPH, and was found to encode a 23.9 kDa protein. Sequence comparisons revealed that both HMSH and HPH have analogues in the tod gene cluster, which specifies a toluene/benzene degradative pathway. Although the newly identified todF and todJ genes had been at least partially sequenced (Zylstra and Gibson, 1989), the open reading frames had not been positively identified. The presence of todJ provides strong evidence that the reactions following ring fission in the tod pathway are identical to those of the TOL pathway.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
An open reading frame of 1476 nucleotides, cloned from a region of the Escherichia coli genome encoding betaine biosynthesis functions, was shown to encode a betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH; EC 1.2.1.8). Either of two adjacent codons (5'-GTGATG) could function as a start codon, producing a presumptive polypeptide of 491 or 490 amino acids. The deduced primary structure of the E. coli BADH showed 39-43% positional identity, over its entire length, to aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH: EC 1.2.1.3) of mammalian origin. This similarity increased to 75-77% when conservative aa substitutions were also taken into consideration. Spinach BADH was also similar to the bacterial BADH, showing 38% identity and 80% overall similarity. Other homologs included a fungal and a putative bacterial ALDH. Although E. coli BADH was specific for the substrate, betaine aldehyde, it showed the highest levels of similarity to the prototype human ALDH-2. Only one gap in each sequence had to be introduced for optimal alignment. The conservation between E. coli BADH and the ALDHs was also evident in the predicted secondary structures and hydrophilicity profiles of the polypeptides, suggesting a similarity in the overall folding patterns of ALDH and BADH. These observations suggest a common ancestry for BADH and ALDH, preceding prokaryote-eukaryote divergence.

Abstract
Stomach aldehyde dehydrogenase was structurally evaluated by analysis of peptide fragments of the human enzyme and comparisons with corresponding parts from other characterized aldehyde dehydrogenases. The results establish a large part of the structure, confirming that the stomach enzyme is identical to the inducible or tumor-derived dimeric aldehyde dehydrogenase. In addition, species variations between identical sets of different aldehyde and alcohol dehydrogenases reveal that stomach aldehyde dehydrogenase exhibits a fairly rapid rate of evolutionary changes, similar to that for the likewise 'variable' classical alcohol dehydrogenase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, and cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase but in contrast to the 'constant' class III alcohol dehydrogenase and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase. This establishes that rates of divergence in the aldehyde and alcohol dehydrogenases are unrelated to subunit size or quaternary structure, highlights the unique nature of class III alcohol dehydrogenase, and positions the stomach aldehyde dehydrogenase in a group with more ordinary features.

Abstract
NAD-linked aldehyde dehydrogenases (A1DH) (EC 1.2.1.3) catalyze the irreversible oxidation of a wide variety of aldehydes to their respective carboxylic acids. Crystals of a class 3 AIDH (from an Escherichia coli expression system) suitable for X-ray analysis have been obtained. These crystals, which can be grown to a size of 0.8 x 0.3 x 0.2 mm, diffract to 2.5 A resolution. Analysis of the diffraction pattern indicates that the crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P21, with cell parameters a = 65.11 A, b = 170.67 A, c = 47.15 A, and beta = 110.5 degrees. Assuming one dimer per asymmetric unit, the value Vm is calculated to be 2.45 and the solvent content of the crystal is estimated to be 50%. A self-rotation function study produced significant rotation peaks (58% of the origin) on the kappa = 180 section at psi = 90 degrees and phi = 71 degrees and 341 degrees, indicating that the pseudo-dimer axis is (or is very nearly) perpendicular to the b-axis.
