Abstract
The structure of mouse class II alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH2) has been determined in a binary complex with the coenzyme NADH and in a ternary complex with both NADH and the inhibitor N-cyclohexylformamide to 2.2 A and 2.1 A resolution, respectively. The ADH2 dimer is asymmetric in the crystal with different orientations of the catalytic domains relative to the coenzyme-binding domains in the two subunits, resulting in a slightly different closure of the active-site cleft. Both conformations are about half way between the open apo structure and the closed holo structure of horse ADH1, thus resembling that of ADH3. The semi-open conformation and structural differences around the active-site cleft contribute to a substantially different substrate-binding pocket architecture as compared to other classes of alcohol dehydrogenase, and provide the structural basis for recognition and selectivity of alcohols and quinones. The active-site cleft is more voluminous than that of ADH1 but not as open and funnel-shaped as that of ADH3. The loop with residues 296-301 from the coenzyme-binding domain is short, thus opening up the pocket towards the coenzyme. On the opposite side, the loop with residues 114-121 stretches out over the inter-domain cleft. A cavity is formed below this loop and adds an appendix to the substrate-binding pocket. Asp301 is positioned at the entrance of the pocket and may control the binding of omega-hydroxy fatty acids, which act as inhibitors rather than substrates. Mouse ADH2 is known as an inefficient ADH with a slow hydrogen-transfer step. By replacing Pro47 with His, the alcohol dehydrogenase activity is restored. Here, the structure of this P47H mutant was determined in complex with NADH to 2.5 A resolution. His47 is suitably positioned to act as a catalytic base in the deprotonation of the substrate. Moreover, in the more closed subunit, the coenzyme is allowed a position closer to the catalytic zinc. This is consistent with hydrogen transfer from an alcoholate intermediate where the Pro/His replacement focuses on the function of the enzyme.

Figure 2. Comparison of mouse ADH2 subunit A (orange) with horse liver ADH1 apo (green) and holo (blue) subunits. C^a chains of the individual coenzyme-binding domains are superpositioned. Coenzyme-binding domains are to the left and the catalytic domains to the right. Zinc atoms and NADH are depicted in purple and brown, respectively. The three structural segments with insertions, deletions and high rms deviations as compared to other ADH structures are colored red and denoted V1-V3 (V1, residues 55-61; V2, residues 114-121; V3, residues 294-307). The mouse ADH2 A-subunit is semi-open about half way between the open apo and the closed holo form of horse liver ADH1.

Fig. 2. An unrooted phylogenetic tree, relating the rodent class II ADH to the known class I-IV ADHs from human, rabbit, rat, and mouse. Sequence data were from data banks and the tree was created with the ClustalW and TreeView programs. Line lengths are proportional to separation distances. Numbers show results from bootstrap analysis (1000 bootstrap replicates) (56).

Fig. 4. Autoradiograms from Northern blot analysis of class II ADH in mouse liver and kidney. Northern blot analysis was performed on 0.5 µg of poly(A)-enriched RNA prepared from mouse liver and kidney samples. Hybridizations were carried out with an 311-bp cDNA probe against class II mRNA (A) and a 2-kilobase fragment of human -actin cDNA (B).
