Abstract

The sequence of three alcohol dehydrogenase alleloenzymes from the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster has been determined by the sequencing of peptides produced by trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin, pepsin and Staphylococcus aureus-V8-proteinase digestion. The amino acid sequence shows no obvious homology with the published sequences of the horse liver and yeast enzymes, and secondary structure prediction suggests that the nucleotide-binding domain is located in the N-terminal half of the molecule. The amino acid substitutions between AdhN-11 (a point mutation of AdhF), AdhS and AdhUF alleloenzymes were identified. AdhN-11 alcohol dehydrogenase differed from the other two by a glycine-14-(AdhS and AdhUF)-to-aspartic acid substitution, the AdhS enzyme from AdhN-11 and AdhUF enzymes by a threonine-192-(AdhN-11 and AdhUF)-to-lysine (AdhS) substitution and the AdhUF enzyme was found to differ by an alanine-45-(AdhS and AdhN-11)-to-aspartic acid (AdhUF) charge substitution and a 'silent' asparagine-8-(AdhS and AdhN-11)-to-alanine (AdhUF) substitution. Detailed sequence evidence has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50107 (36 pages) at the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem.
