N-carboxyacyl and N-α-aminoacyl derivatives of aminoaldehydes as shared substrates of plant aldehyde dehydrogenases 10 and 7.

ABSTRACT: Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) represent a superfamily of enzymes, which oxidize aldehydes to the corresponding acids. Certain families, namely ALDH9 and ALDH10, are best active with ω-aminoaldehydes arising from the metabolism of polyamines such as 3-aminopropionaldehyde and 4-aminobutyraldehyde. Plant ALDH10s show broad specificity and accept many different aldehydes (aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic) as substrates. This work involved the above-mentioned aminoaldehydes acylated with dicarboxylic acids, phenylalanine, and tyrosine. The resulting products were then examined with native ALDH10 from pea and recombinant ALDH7s from pea and maize. This investigation aimed to find a common efficient substrate for the two plant ALDH families. One of the best natural substrates of ALDH7s is
