Human liver alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes the NAD+-dependent oxidation of alcohols. Isoenzymes are produced in liver by five different genes, two of which are polymorphic. We have studied the three .beta..beta. isoenzymes produced at ADH2 because they exhibit very different kinetic properties and they appear with different frequencies in different racial populations. The .beta.3.beta.3 isoenzyme which appears in 25% of black Americans was purified to homogeneity, and conditions were found to stabilize this labile isoenzyme. The comparison of substrate specificity among .beta..beta. isoenzymes for primary straight-chain alcohols indicates that there is a positive correlation between Vmax/KM and the log octanol/water partition coefficient for alcohols with .beta.2.beta.2 and .beta.3.beta.3 but not with .beta.1.beta.1. Methyl substitutions at C1 or C2 of these alcohols reduce the catalytic efficiency with all three isoenzymes. The KM and Ki values of .beta.3.beta.3 for NAD+ and NADH are substantially higher than values for .beta.1.beta.1 or .beta.2.beta.2. The Vmax of .beta.3.beta.3 for ethanol oxidation is 90 times that of .beta.1.beta.1. Sequencing of the .beta.3 subunit and gene indicates that the polymorphism results from a single amino acid exchange of Cys-369 in .beta.3 for Arg-369 in .beta.1 and .beta.2 [Burnell et al. (1987) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 146, 1227-1233]. In horse alcohol dehydrogenase and .beta.1.beta.1, the guanidino group of Arg-369 is thought to stabilize the NAD(H)-enzyme complex by bonding to one of the pyrophosphate oxygens. Thus, the substitution of Cys-369 in .beta.3.beta.3 explains its weak binding of coenzymes and high activity.
