Abstract
To identify the sequence of hydroxyacid-oxoacid transhydrogenase (HOT), responsible for the oxidation of 4-hydroxybutyrate in mammalian tissues, we have purified this enzyme from rat liver and obtained partial sequences of proteins coeluting with the enzymatic activity in the last purification step. One of the identified proteins was 'iron-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase', an enzyme encoded by a gene present on human chromosome 8q 13.1 and distantly related to bacterial 4-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenases. The identification of this protein as HOT was confirmed by showing that overexpression of the mouse homologue in HEK cells resulted in the appearance of an enzyme catalyzing the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent oxidation of 4-hydroxybutyrate to succinate semialdehyde.Keywords
