EC 1.1.99.36 Details
EC number
1.1.99.36
Accepted name
alcohol dehydrogenase (nicotinoprotein)
Reaction
ethanol + acceptor = acetaldehyde + reduced acceptor
Other name(s)
NDMA-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase, nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase, np-ADH, ethanol:N,N-dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline oxidoreductase
Systematic name
ethanol:acceptor oxidoreductase
Comment
Contains Zn2+. Nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases are unique medium-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (MDR) alcohol dehydrogenases that have a tightly bound NAD+/NADH cofactor that does not dissociate during the catalytic process. Instead, the cofactor is regenerated by a second substrate or electron carrier. While the in vivo electron acceptor is not known, N,N-dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline (NDMA), which is reduced to 4-(hydroxylamino)-N,N-dimethylaniline, can serve this function in vitro. The enzyme from the Gram-positive bacterium Amycolatopsis methanolica can accept many primary alcohols as substrates, including benzylalcohol [1].
