additional information | simultaneous knockout of ALDH1A1 (EC 1.2.1.36) and its isozyme ALDH3A1 in lung cancer cell line NCI-H460 inhibits tumor growth in a xenograft model. Moreover, the ALDH1A1 mutants that retain their GSH/DHLA-dependent NAD+ reduction activity and lose their aldehyde-dehydrogenase activity are able to decrease the NAD+/NADH ratio and to rescue the impaired growth of ALDH1A1/3A1 double knockout tumor cells | Homo sapiens |

Purification (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
purification of the enzyme(s) responsible for the GSH/DHLA-dependent NAD+ reduction activity from large-scale cell cultures, native enzyme from EKVX lung cancer cells by ultracentrifugation of crude cell extract and anion echange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction and hydroxyapatite chromatography, followed by gel filtration and another different step of anion exchange chromatography | Homo sapiens |

additional information | ALDH3A1 is highly expressed in lung carcinoma cell line A549 and EKVX, as well as in the large cell carcinoma cell line H460. Isozyme ALDH1A1 (EC 1.2.1.36) shows a similar expression pattern like ALDH3A1. Other members of the aldehyde dehydrogenase family are not expressed in the lung cancer cell lines examined | Homo sapiens | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH3A1) is a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily that oxidizes aldehydes to their corresponding acids, reactions that are coupled to the reduction of NAD(P)+ to NAD(P)H | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | ALDH1A1 and ALDH3A1 have the same GSH/DHLA-dependent NAD+-reduction activity | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | aldehyde dehydrogenase 3A1 increases NADH levels and promotes tumor growth via glutathione/dihydrolipoic acid-dependent NAD+ reduction. ALDH3A1 can also use glutathione (GSH) and dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) as electron donors to reduce NAD+ to NADH. The GSH/DHLA-dependent NAD+-reduction activity of ALDH1A1 is not affected by the aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor or by mutation of the residues in its aldehyde-binding pocket. It is thus a distinct biochemical reaction from the classic aldehyde-dehydrogenase activity catalyzed by ALDH3A1. The GSH/DHLA-dependent NAD+-reduction activity of ALDH3A1 can decrease cellular NAD+/NADH ratio and promote tumor growth | Homo sapiens |
