A periplasmic PQQ-containing quinoprotein. Occurs in Pseudomonas and Rhodopseudomonas. The enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses a specific inducible cytochrome c550 as electron acceptor. Acts on a wide range of primary and secondary alcohols, but not methanol. It has a homodimeric structure [contrasting with the heterotetrameric structure of EC 1.1.2.7, methanol dehydrogenase (cytochrome c)]. It is routinely assayed with phenazine methosulfate as electron acceptor. Activity is stimulated by ammonia or amines. Like all other quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases it has an 8-bladed 'propeller' structure, a calcium ion bound to the PQQ in the active site and an unusual disulfide ring structure in close proximity to the PQQ.

EPR-study to elucidate reaction mechanism. In an addition/elimination mechanism, the negatively charged substrate oxygen then performs a nucleophilic addition to the PQQ(C5) to form a covalent substrate-PQQ complex. This is followed by elimination of ethanal, leaving the fully reduced PQQH2. In a hydride transfer mechanism, a nucleophilic addition to the PQQ(C5) again occurs, but this time it is the hydride from C1 of the substrate that is transferred, completing the oxidization of the ethanol to ethanal. Subsequently, the PQQ enolizes to form PQQH2. The results are consistent with either proposed mechanism
the binding pocket of pyrroloquinoline quinone contains a characteristic disulphide ring formed by two adjacent cysteine residues. Analysis by EPR spectroscopy shows that the disulfide ring is no prerequisite for the formation of the functionally important semiquinone form of pyrroloquinoline quinone
incubation of apo-enzyme with Sr2+ and pyrroloquinoline quinone leads to the formation of an active Sr2+-form. The Sr2+ and the Ca2+-forms of the enzyme differ in their absorption spectra. The Sr2+-form is inactivated by trans-l,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid twice as fast as the Ca2+-form.
contains one Ca2+ ion per subunit of native enzyme. Treatment with trans-l,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid at 30°C leads to an catalytically inactive apo-form. Upon incubation of the apo-form with Ca2 + and pyrroloquinoline quinone a fully active holo-enzyme is reconstituted. Incubation of apo-enzyme with Sr2+ and pyrroloquinoline quinone leads to the formation of an active Sr2+-form. The Sr2+ and the Ca2+-forms of the enzyme differ in their absorption spectra.
the prosthetic group is located in the centre of the superbarrel and is coordinated to a calcium ion.In addition, enzyme contains a second Ca2+-binding site at the N-terminus, which contributes to the stability of the native enzyme
enzyme interacts with a soluble cytochrome cEDH, the oxidized form being an excellent acceptor for the semiquinone form of EDH. This cytochrome is quite different from the cytochrome c551 operating in nitrate respiration

alignment with the amino acid sequence of the large subunit of the quinoprotein methanol dehydrogenase from Methylobacterium extorquens. The amino acid residues involved in the binding of pyrroloquinoline quinone and Ca2+ at the active site are conserved
to 2.6 A resolution, by molecular replacement. Eight W-shaped beta-sheet motifs are arranged circularly in a propeller-like fashion forming a disk-shaped superbarrel. The prosthetic group is located in the centre of the superbarrel and is coordinated to a calcium ion. Most amino acid residues found in close contact with the prosthetic group pyrroloquinoline quinone and the Ca2+ are conserved between the quinoprotein ethanol dehydrogenase structure and that of the methanol dehydrogenases from Methylobacterium extorquens or Methylophilus W3A1. The main differences in the active-site region are a bulky tryptophan residue in the active-site cavity of methanol dehydrogenase, which is replaced by a phenylalanine and a leucine side-chain in the ethanol dehydrogenase structure and a leucine residue right above the pyrrolquinoline quinone group in methanol dehydrogenase which is replaced by a tryptophan side-chain. Both amino acid exchanges contribute to different substrate specificities of these otherwise very similar enzymes. In addition to the Ca2+ in the active-site cavity, ethanol dehydrogenase contains a second Ca2+-binding site at the N-terminus, which contributes to the stability of the native enzyme
mutation of residues forming a characteristic disulfide ring in the binding pocket of pyrroloquinoline quinone. Analysis by EPR spectroscopy shows that the disulfide ring is no prerequisite for the formation of the functionally important semiquinone form of pyrroloquinoline quinone
In the presence of the prosthetic group, expression of the Pseudomonas gene encoding the 60-kDa subunit of quinoprotein ethanol dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli results in formation of active enzyme
