Sheep liver cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase was labelled by reaction with the substrate p-nitrophenyl di[14C]methylcarbamate. After tryptic digestion and peptide fractionation the labelled residue was identified as Cys-302. This is the first unequivocal identification of the essential enzymic nucleophile in the esterase activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase. By implication, Cys-302 is probably also the residue that is acylated by aldehyde substrates and the first residue that is modified by disulfiram.
绵羊肝脏细胞质醛脱氢酶通过与底物对硝基苯基二[¹⁴C]甲基氨基甲酸酯反应进行标记。经胰蛋白酶消化和肽段分级分离后,标记的残基被鉴定为Cys-302。这是醛脱氢酶酯酶活性中必需酶亲核试剂的首次明确鉴定。由此推断,Cys-302可能也是被醛底物酰化的残基,并且是被双硫仑修饰的首个残基。
