Most of the dinucleotide-binding domains have Rossmann folds. And ALDH have Rossmann fold to bind NAD.
ALDH Glu140 bind the Adenosine
ribose of NAD. And it formed some hydrogen bond and van der waals
contact.
ALDH has a NAD-binding Rossmann fold is located in £]4 -£\D-£]2.
Rossmann fold £] -£\-£] and
£] -£\-£] -£\-£]
ALDH use Glu140
to have contact with NAD.
Helix £\A has been termed the" dinucleotide -binding helix" since its
helix dipole provides a favourable interaction with the nagtive charged
pyrophosphate moiety of the dinucleotide. The fingerprint sequence
is GXGXXG is often in £]1-£\A loop , and it
is the classic way. So ALDH and ADH have different fasion binding NAD.
ALDH have new NAD-binding Rossmann
fold

Classic
NAD-binding fingerprint
In classic NAD-binding Rossmann fold, and sequence is conserved call a fingerprint sequence :
Gly-X-Gly-X-X-Gly(G1-X-G2-X-X-G3)
The Ramachandran Plot of these 3 Gly position of the fingerprint sequence:
The first Gly G1 allows for a tight turn of the main chain with special(£p,£r) angels.
G2 allows the coenzyme to pack close to £\A producing a favourable charge-dipole interaction. Also because steric hindrance with the bound dinucleotide would occur with a side chain at this position.
G3 residue is important to provide space for a close interaction between the £] strands and £\ helix.
ALDH NAD-binding fingerprint sequence is--
GXTXXG
but this figerprint sequence is located at £]4 -£\D, not £]1-£\A. Just see the sequence bellow-- (b)
The figerprint is an Rossmann fold, but ALDH loss the fingerprint in £]1-£\A-£]2 fold. And changes to £]4 -£\D-£]2 . And the sequence is different form classic way.
The (c) shown the ALDH disappeared the fingerprint sequence in £]1-£\A.
1. ALDH has a new NAD-binding Rossmann fold
, and it is different from classic NAD-binding Rossmann fold , such as
Alcohol DHase .
2. ALDH NAD-binding fingerprint is G-X-T-X-X-G.
ADH NAD-binding fingerprint
is G-X-G-X-X-G
3. ALDH family have a conserved residue
Glu140, and Glu140 forms H-bond to adenosine ribose of
NAD.
