Abstract

Human aldehyde oxidase (hAOX1) is a molybdoenzyme that oxidizes aldehydes and N-heterocyclic compounds, thereby generating hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and superoxide during turnover. hAOX1 has been shown previously to be inactivated under turnover conditions by H₂O₂. Here, we investigated the effect of exogenously added H₂O₂ on the activity of hAOX1. We show that exogenously added H₂O₂ did not affect the enzyme activity under aerobic conditions, but completely inactivated the enzyme under anaerobic conditions. We propose that this effect is based on the reducing power of H₂O₂ and the susceptibility of the reduced molybdenum cofactor (Moco) to lose the sulfido ligand. When oxygen is present, the enzyme is rapidly reoxidized. We believe that our study is significant in understanding the detailed effect of reactive oxygen species on the inactivation of hAOX1 and other molybdoenzymes.
