Sites of glycation of human and horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase in vivo

Sites of in vivo glycation of human and horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase were identified by cleavage of the borotritide-treated enzyme with trypsin, followed by gas-phase sequencing of the resulting tritium-labeled glycated peptides. A blank sequencing result, i.e. failure to detect an amino acid phenylthiohydantoin after completion of an Edman degradation cycle, was ascribed to an N-(1- deoxyhexitolyl)lysyl residue, which represented a glycation site on the original enzyme subunit. In human liver alcohol dehydrogenase the sites affected were the epsilon-amino groups of lysines 10, 39, 231, 248, and 325, which were glycated to the relative extents of 10, 5, 75, 5, and 5%, respectively. The site specificity of in vivo glycation of the horse enzyme is similar; 70-75% of it had occurred at lysine 231. A computer image of the crystal structure of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase was examined. As a result, it was proposed that the high rate of glycation at lysine 231 is due to acid-base catalysis of the Amadori rearrangement by the imidazole group of histidine 348. This hypothesis was supported by showing that imidazole groups were close to sites of glycation in several other proteins.
