The NADH absorbance spectrum of nicotinoprotein (NADH-containing) alcohol dehydrogenase from Amycolatopsis methanolica has a maximum at 326 nm. Reduced enzyme-bound pyridine dinucleotide could be reversibly oxidized by acetaldehyde. The fluorescence excitation spectrum for NADH bound to the enzyme has a maximum at 325 nm. Upon excitation at 290 nm, energy transfer from tryptophan to enzyme-bound NADH was negligible. The fluorescence emission spectrum (excitation at 325 nm) for NADH bound to the enzyme has a maximum at 422 nm. The fluorescence intensity is enhanced by a factor of 3 upon binding of isobutyramide (Kd = 59 microM). Isobutyramide acts as competitive inhibitor (Ki = 46 microM) with respect to the electron acceptor NDMA (N,N-dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline), which binds to the enzyme containing the reduced cofactor. The nonreactive substrate analogue trifluoroethanol acts as a competitive inhibitor with respect to the substrate ethanol (Ki = 1.6 microM), which binds to the enzyme containing the oxidized cofactor. Far-UV circular dichroism spectra of the enzyme containing NADH and the enzyme containing NAD+ were identical, indicating that no major conformational changes occur upon oxidation or reduction of the cofactor. Near-UV circular dichroism spectra of NADH bound to the enzyme have a minimum at 323 nm (Deltaepsilon = -8.6 M-1 cm-1). The fluorescence anisotropy decay of enzyme-bound NADH showed no rotational freedom of the NADH cofactor. This implies a rigid environment as well as lack of motion of the fluorophore. The average fluorescence lifetime of NADH bound to the enzyme is 0.29 ns at 20 degreesC and could be resolved into at least three components (in the range 0.13-0.96 ns). Upon binding of isobutyramide to the enzyme-containing NADH, the average excited-state lifetime increased to 1.02 ns and could be resolved into two components (0.37 and 1.11 ns). The optical spectra of NADH bound to nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase have blue-shifted maxima compared to other NADH-dehydrogenase complexes, but comparable to that observed for NADH bound to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase. The fluorescence lifetime of NADH bound to the nicotinoprotein is very short compared to enzyme-bound NADH complexes, also compared to NADH bound to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase. The cofactor-protein interaction in the nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase active site is more rigid and apolar than that in horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase. The optical properties of NADH bound to nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase differ considerably from NADH (tightly) bound to UDP-galactose epimerase from Escherichia coli. This indicates that although both enzymes have NAD(H) as nonexchangeable cofactor, the NADH binding sites are quite different.
