A Disorder to Order Transition Accompanies Catalysis in Retinaldehyde Dehydrogenase Type II

Abstract: Retinaldehyde dehydrogenase II (RalDH2) converts retinal to the transcriptional regulator retinoic acid in the developing embryo. The x-ray structure of the enzyme revealed an important structural difference between this protein and other aldehyde dehydrogenases of the same enzyme superfamily; a 20-amino acid span in the substrate access channel in retinaldehyde dehydrogenase II is disordered, whereas in other aldehyde dehydrogenases this region forms a well defined wall of the substrate access channel. We ask… Show more

“…Lamb and Newcomer have reported these residues missing in the electron density maps of cofactor-bound retinal dehydrogenase type II (RalDH2), which shares about 67% sequence identity with ALDH2 (26,27). What is unique to ALDH2*2 is the complete loss of both the loop and the ␣G helix in the electron density maps.…”

“…34 to become ordered, and this constitutes the basis for its substrate specificity. 49 The YcdW ALDH and the TtP5CDh also have the arginine equivalent to E248 of PaBADH, but its side chain is outside the cation binding cavity, and still their structures show no disorder. The electron density map of these crystals indicates that it is likely that they do have a cation bound inside this cavity.…”

“…1) IDPs have no unique three-dimensional structure in an isolated state but can fold upon binding to their interaction partners [1], [4], [13][18]. 2) Conformational changes upon binding in proteins with unstructured regions are much larger than those in structured proteins [1].…”
