Thein vitroinactivation of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) by cyanamide in rat liver slices, in intact mitochondria, and at various stages of purity was characterized. Low-KmALDH was more susceptible to cyanamide inactivation than was the high-Kmform. In addition, the presence of NAD or NADH was necessary for cyanamide inhibition of the ALDH activity. Cyanamide at low concentrations required enzymatic conversion to a reactive derivative that could inhibitioLDH. The data in this study are consistent with the suggestion of DeMasteret al. [Biochem. biophys. Res. Commun.,122, 358 (1984)] that catalase is the cyanamide-converting enzyme. An inhibitor of catalase activity, malonate, decreased the rate of cyanamide inactivation of ALDH in intact mitochondria. Furthermore, affinity chromatography-purified ALDH, free of catalase activity, was not susceptibie tomcyanamide inactivation. This affinity-purified ALDH was only inactivated by high concentrations of cyanamide. Thus, an alternative pathway for ALDH inactivation may exist in which enzymatic modification of cyanamide is not necessary. It is likely, however, that a contaminating enzyme in the ALDH preparation is capable of activating cyanamide.
