All-trans retinoic acid (atRA) is a powerful morphogen synthesized in a variety of tissues. Oxidation of all-trans retinol to all-trans retinal determines the overall rate of atRA biosynthesis. This reaction is catalyzed by multiple dehydrogenases in vitro. In the cells, most all-trans retinol is bound to cellular retinol binding protein (CRBP). Whether retinoic acid is produced from the free or CRBP-bound retinol in vivo is not known. The current study investigated whether human medium-chain alcohol/retinol dehydrogenases (ADH) can oxidize the CRBP-bound retinol. The results of this study suggest that retinol bound to CRBP cannot be channeled to the active site of ADH. Thus, the contribution of ADH isozymes to retinoic acid biosynthesis will depend on the amount of free retinol in each cell. Physiological levels of ethanol will substantially inhibit the oxidation of free retinol by human ADHs: class I, alpha alpha and beta 2 beta 2; class II, pi pi; and class IV, sigma sigma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
