An induced aliphatic aldehyde dehydrogenase from the bioluminescent bacterium, Beneckea harveyi. Purification and properties.

A NAD+-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase, the activity of which induces at the same time as luceriferase, has been purified from the bioluminescent bacterium Beneckea harveyi, and its chemical and physical properties have been investigated. The purification is accomplished in three steps resulting in an enzyme preparation that gives a single protein band on three different gel electrophoresis systems. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 120,000 by gel filtration. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis gave a molecular weight of 59,000 indicating that aldehyde dehydrogenase has a dimeric structure with subunits of similar molecular weight. The purified enzyme has a high specificity for long chain aliphatic aldehydes; the Michaelis constants for aldehydes decrease with increasing chain length as also observed for bacterial aldehyde dehydrogenases involved in the metabolism of hydrocarbons. The aldehyde specificity of the aldehyde dehydrogenase is similar to that of luciferase indicating that the functional role of the enzyme may be linked with the bioluminescent system.
