Abstract
Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are NADPH/NADP+-dependent oxidoreductase enzymes that metabolize an aldehyde/ketone to the corresponding alcohol. AKR4C14 from rice exhibits a much higher efficiency in metabolizing malondialdehyde (MDA) than do the Arabidopsis enzymes AKR4C8 and AKR4C9, despite sharing greater than 60% amino-acid sequence identity. This study confirms the role of rice AKR4C14 in the detoxification of methylglyoxal and MDA, and demonstrates that the endogenous contents of both aldehydes in transgenic Arabidopsis ectopically expressing AKR4C14 are significantly lower than their levels in the wild type. The apo structure of indica rice AKR4C14 was also determined in the absence of the cofactor, revealing the stabilized open conformation. This is the first crystal structure in AKR subfamily 4C from rice to be observed in the apo form (without bound NADP+). The refined AKR4C14 structure reveals a stabilized open conformation of loop B, suggesting the initial phase prior to cofactor binding. Based on the X-ray crystal structure, the substrate- and cofactor-binding pockets of AKR4C14 are formed by loops A, B, C and β1α1. Moreover, the residues Ser211 and Asn220 on loop B are proposed as the hinge residues that are responsible for conformational alteration while the cofactor binds. The open conformation of loop B is proposed to involve Phe216 pointing out from the cofactor-binding site and the opening of the safety belt. Structural comparison with other AKRs in subfamily 4C emphasizes the role of the substrate-channel wall, consisting of Trp24, Trp115, Tyr206, Phe216, Leu291 and Phe295, in substrate discrimination. In particular, Leu291 could contribute greatly to substrate selectivity, explaining the preference of AKR4C14 for its straight-chain aldehyde substrate.

X-ray structure of the V301L aldo-keto reductase 1B10 complexed with NADP(+) and the potent aldose reductase inhibitor fidarestat: implications for inhibitor binding and selectivity. Chem Biol Interact 2013; 202:178-85.

Abstract
Only one crystal structure is currently available for tumor marker AKR1B10, complexed with NADP(+) and tolrestat, which is an aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI) of the carboxylic acid type. Here, the X-ray structure of the complex of the V301L substituted AKR1B10 holoenzyme with fidarestat, an ARI of the cyclic imide type, was obtained at 1.60Å resolution by replacement soaking of crystals containing tolrestat. Previously, fidarestat was found to be safe in phase III trials for diabetic neuropathy and, consistent with its low in vivo side effects, was highly selective for aldose reductase (AR or AKR1B1) versus aldehyde reductase (AKR1A1). Now, inhibition studies showed that fidarestat was indeed 1300-fold more selective for AR as compared to AKR1B10, while the change of Val to Leu (found in AR) caused a 20-fold decrease in the IC50 value with fidarestat. Structural analysis of the V301L AKR1B10-fidarestat complex displayed enzyme-inhibitor interactions similar to those of the AR-fidarestat complex. However, a close inspection of both the new crystal structure and a computer model of the wild-type AKR1B10 complex with fidarestat revealed subtle changes that could affect fidarestat binding. In the crystal structure, a significant motion of loop A was observed between AR and V301L AKR1B10, linked to a Phe-122/Phe-123 side chain displacement. This was due to the presence of the more voluminous Gln-303 side chain (Ser-302 in AR) and of a water molecule buried in a subpocket located at the base of flexible loop A. In the wild-type AKR1B10 model, a short contact was predicted between the Val-301 side chain and fidarestat, but would not be present in AR or in V301L AKR1B10. Overall, these changes could contribute to the difference in inhibitory potency of fidarestat between AR and AKR1B10.

Abstract
Ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxy butanoate (ECHB) is a building block for the synthesis of hypercholesterolemia drugs. In this study, various microbial reductases have been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Their reductase activities toward ethyl-4-chloro oxobutanoate (ECOB) have been assayed. Amidst them, Baker's yeast YDL124W, YOR120W, and YOL151W reductases showed high activities. YDL124W produced (S)-ECHB exclusively, whereas YOR120W and YOL151W made (R)-form alcohol. The homology models and docking models with ECOB and NADPH elucidated their substrate specificities and enantioselectivities. A glucose dehydrogenase-coupling reaction was used as NADPH recycling system to perform continuously the reduction reaction. Recombinant E. coli cell co-expressing YDL124W and Bacillus subtilis glucose dehydrogenase produced (S)-ECHB exclusively.

Abstract
AIM: To prepare and characterize polyclonal antibodies against aldose reductase-like (ARL-1) protein.
METHODS: ARL-1 gene was inserted into the E. coli expression vector pGEX-4T-1(His)6C and vector pQE-30. Recombinant ARL-1 proteins named ARL-(His)6 and ARL-GST were expressed. They were purified by affinity chromatography. Sera from domestic rabbits immunized with ARL-(His)6 were purified by CNBr-activated sepharose 4B coupled ARL-GST. Polyclonal antibodies were detected by Western blotting.
RESULTS: Recombinant proteins of ARL-(His)6 with molecular weight of 35.7 KD and ARL-GST with molecular weight of 60.8 KD were highly expressed. The expression levels of ARL-GST and ARL-(His)6 were 15.1% and 27.7% among total bacteria proteins, respectively. They were soluble, predominantly in supernatant. After purification by non-denatured way, SDS-PAGE showed one band. In the course of polyclonal antibodies purification, only one elution peak could be seen. Western blotting showed positive signals in the two purified proteins and the bacteria transformed with pGEX-4T-1(His)6 C-ARL and pQE-30-ARL individually.
CONCLUSION: Polyclonal antibodies are purified and highly specific against ARL-1 protein. ARL-GST and ARL-(His)6 are highly expressed and purified.

Abstract
The structure of xylose reductase from Candida tenuis (AKR2B5) has been determined and refined to 2.2 A resolution, both in holo and apo forms. These structures allow the recognition of numerous hydrophilic residues responsible for dimerization, a novel feature for the superfamily of enzymes. The residues allowing for dual NADH/NADPH cosubstrate specificity are also identified. Since xylose reductase functions in conjunction with an NAD(+)-specific xylitol dehydrogenase in the xylose assimilation pathway, this is a key step in engineering an enzyme specific for only NADH which will permit cosubstrate recycling between the two enzymes in a high-flux pathway. The structure of xylose reductase, combined with others in the superfamily provides an opportunity to examine and compare structural divergence as a function of sequence homology. It also suggests that the dimeric aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) from families 2 and 7 evolved from a common dimeric ancestor.

Novel homodimeric and heterodimeric rat gamma-hydroxybutyrate synthases that associate with the Golgi apparatus define a distinct subclass of aldo-keto reductase 7 family proteins. Biochem J 2002; 366:847-61.

Abstract
The aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 7 family is composed of the dimeric aflatoxin B(1) aldehyde reductase (AFAR) isoenzymes. In the rat, two AFAR subunits exist, designated rAFAR1 and rAFAR2. Herein, we report the molecular cloning of rAFAR2, showing that it shares 76% sequence identity with rAFAR1. By contrast with rAFAR1, which comprises 327 amino acids, rAFAR2 contains 367 amino acids. The 40 extra residues in rAFAR2 are located at the N-terminus of the polypeptide as an Arg-rich domain that may form an amphipathic alpha-helical structure. Protein purification and Western blotting have shown that the two AFAR subunits are found in rat liver extracts as both homodimers and as a heterodimer. Reductase activity in rat liver towards 2-carboxybenzaldehyde (CBA) was resolved by anion-exchange chromatography into three peaks containing rAFAR1-1, rAFAR1-2 and rAFAR2-2 dimers. These isoenzymes are functionally distinct; with NADPH as cofactor, rAFAR1-1 has a low K(m) and high activity with CBA, whereas rAFAR2-2 exhibits a low K(m) and high activity towards succinic semialdehyde. These data suggest that rAFAR1-1 is a detoxication enzyme, while rAFAR2-2 serves to synthesize the endogenous neuromodulator gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Subcellular fractionation of liver extracts showed that rAFAR1-1 was recovered in the cytosol whereas rAFAR2-2 was associated with the Golgi apparatus. The distinct subcellular localization of the rAFAR1 and rAFAR2 subunits was confirmed by immunocytochemistry in H4IIE cells. Association of rAFAR2-2 with the Golgi apparatus presumably facilitates secretion of GHB, and the novel N-terminal domain may either determine the targeting of the enzyme to the Golgi or regulate the secretory process. A murine AKR protein of 367 residues has been identified in expressed sequence tag databases that shares 91% sequence identity with rAFAR2 and contains the Arg-rich extended N-terminus of 40 amino acids. Further bioinformatic evidence is presented that full-length human AKR7A2 is composed of 359 amino acids and also possesses an additional N-terminal domain. On the basis of these observations, we conclude that AKR7 proteins can be divided into two subfamilies, one of which is a Golgi-associated GHB synthase with a unique, previously unrecognized, N-terminal domain that is absent from other AKR proteins.

Abstract
The structure of the rat liver aflatoxin dialdehyde reductase (AKR7A1) has been solved to 1.38-A resolution. Although it shares a similar alpha/beta-barrel structure with other members of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, AKR7A1 is the first dimeric member to be crystallized. The crystal structure also reveals details of the ternary complex as one subunit of the dimer contains NADP(+) and the inhibitor citrate. Although the underlying catalytic mechanism appears similar to other aldo-keto reductases, the substrate-binding pocket contains several charged amino acids (Arg-231 and Arg-327) that distinguish it from previously characterized aldo-keto reductases with respect to size and charge. These differences account for the substrate specificity for 4-carbon acid-aldehydes such as succinic semialdehyde and 2-carboxybenzaldehyde as well as for the idiosyncratic substrate aflatoxin B(1) dialdehyde of this subfamily of enzymes. Structural differences between the AKR7A1 ternary complex and apoenzyme reveal a significant hinged movement of the enzyme involving not only the loops of the structure but also parts of the alpha/beta-barrel most intimately involved in cofactor binding.

Abstract
Enzymes of the short chain and medium chain dehydrogenase/reductase families have been demonstrated to participate in the oxidoreduction of ethanol and retinoids. Mammals and amphibians contain, in the upper digestive tract mucosa, alcohol dehydrogenases of the medium chain dehydrogenase/reductase family, active with ethanol and retinol. In the present work, we searched for a similar enzyme in an avian species (Gallus domesticus). We found that chicken does not contain the homologous enzyme from the medium chain dehydrogenase/reductase family but an oxidoreductase from the aldo-keto reductase family, with retinal reductase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities. The amino acid sequence shows 66-69% residue identity with the aldose reductase and aldose reductase-like enzymes. Chicken aldo-keto reductase is a monomer of M(r) 36,000 expressed in eye, tongue, and esophagus. The enzyme can oxidize aliphatic alcohols, such as ethanol, and it is very efficient in all-trans- and 9-cis-retinal reduction (k(cat)/K(m) = 5,300 and 32,000 mm(-1).min(-1), respectively). This finding represents the inclusion of the aldo-keto reductase family, with the (alpha/beta)(8) barrel structure, into the scenario of retinoid metabolism and, therefore, of the regulation of vertebrate development and tissue differentiation.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the GCY1 gene product from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined to 2.5 A and is being refined. The model includes two protein molecules, one apo and one holo, per asymmetric unit. Examination of the model reveals that the active site surface is somewhat flat when compared with the other aldo-keto reductase structures, possibly accommodating larger substrates. The K(m) for NADPH (28.5 microM) is higher than that seen for other family members. This can be explained structurally by the lack of the 'safety belt' of residues seen in other aldo-keto reductases with higher affinity for NADPH. Catalysis also differs from the other aldo-keto reductases. The tyrosine that acts as an acid in the reduction reaction is flipped out of the catalytic pocket. This implies that the protein must either undergo a conformational change before catalysis can take place or that there is an alternate acid moiety.
