These isozymes exhibited low-Km characteristics with ethanol as substrate, high isoelectric points (8.5-9.3), and sensitivity to 5 mM 4-methyl pyrazole inhibition, and were the major liver (ADH-2) and kidney (ADH-1) isozymes in the baboon. Class II ADHs. These isozymes showed high-Km values for ethanol, neutral isoelectric points (7.7 for the liver ADH-4 [pi-ADH] and 7.2 for the major stomach ADH [ADH-3], respectively), and were insensitive to inhibition with 5 mM 4-methyl pyrazole. Class III ADH. This enzyme was characterized by its inactivity with ethanol as substrate (up to 0.5 M), insensitivity to 4-methyl pyrazole inhibition, preference for medium-chain-length alcohols as substrate (trans-2-hexen-1-ol was routinely used in this study), and an isoelectric point (6.5) similar to that of the human liver chi-ADH (pI 6.4). Major activity variation of the liver pi-ADH (ADH-4) isozyme was observed among the 114 liver samples examined, with 34 percent exhibiting a null (or low-activity) phenotype. An electrophoretic variant phenotype for the major class II stomach isozyme (ADH-3) was also found in the population studied. The baboon was used as a model for studying alcohol-induced changes in liver ADH phenotype following chronic alcohol consumption. Prepuberal male baboons were pair-fed nutritionally adequate liquid diets containing ethanol (50 percent of calories) or isocaloric carbohydrates, and liver ADH isozyme patterns from biopsy samples were monitored for 20 weeks. Dramatic decreases in class II liver ADH activity (ADH-4, or pi-ADH) were observed within 4 weeks after the start of alcohol feeding, and a shift in liver class I isozymes was found during the later stages of alcohol consumption. These changes during chronic alcohol consumption may be adaptations of the liver: these include reduced capacity of the major ADH pathway and increased ethanol oxidation by the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system and possibly by peroxisomal catalase.</p>","PeriodicalId":77729,"journal":{"name":"Isozymes","volume":"16 ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14732330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cellogel electrophoresis is handy for routine screening of red cell enzymes for polymorphic variants [Rattazzi et al, 1967; Meera Khan and Rattazzi, 1968; Meera Khan, 1971; Someren et al, 1974; Ebeli-Struijk et al, 1976; Meera Khan and Doppert, 1976; Meera Khan et al, 1982]. Highly sensitive methods for microelectrophoretic assays for phenotyping the individual enzyme systems, if they become available, will be of greater value than the conventional procedures. For PGM1 phenotyping, the procedure of isoelectric-focusing (IEF) [Winter et al, 1977] was found to be highly sensitive and gave the best resolution. Polymorphic variants of house-keeping enzymes, by nature, can play the role of universal markers since they are expressed in individual types of the whole range of cells derived from hematopoietic and stromal cell precursors in the transplanted patients. Compared to chromosome analysis in dividing cells or screening for RFLP's detectable in unique DNA sequences, marker enzyme phenotyping by electrophoresis is methodologically simple, easy, quick, inexpensive, rapidly repeatable and equally reliable, requires only a small quantity of easily obtainable peripheral blood sample, and could monitor all lineages of blood cells including non-nucleated and nondividing cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":77729,"journal":{"name":"Isozymes","volume":"16 ","pages":"125-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14021381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two major hepatic ALDH isozymes, ALDH I and ALDH II, differing in their structural and functional properties, have been characterized in humans. ALDH I has a low Km for acetaldehyde and is primarily a mitochondrial enzyme, while ALDH II has a higher Km and is of cytosolic origin. An inherited deficiency of ALDH I isozyme found only among Oriental populations is primarily responsible for producing acute alcohol sensitivity symptoms (flushing response) after consumption of small doses of alcohol. Biochemical, immunochemical, and molecular genetics data indicate a structural mutation in the ALDH I isozyme gene responsible for the loss in catalytic activity. Population genetic studies have revealed the prevalence of ALDH polymorphism among individuals of the Mongoloid race. Flushing response to alcohol is a familial trait, and preliminary family data from Japan, China, and Korea suggest an autosomal codominant inheritance for ALDH I isozyme deficiency. The ALDH polymorphism is apparently responsible for the low incidence of alcoholism in Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans. Alcohol sensitivity due to ALDH I isozyme deficiency may inhibit excessive alcohol drinking.</p>","PeriodicalId":77729,"journal":{"name":"Isozymes","volume":"16 ","pages":"21-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14730769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
