AbstractAlcohol use disorder (AUD) is a multifactorial psychiatric behavior disorder. Disulfiram is the first approved drug by the Food and Drug Administration for alcohol-dependent patients, which targets the ALDH2 enzyme. Several genes are known to be involved in alcohol metabolism; mutations in any of these genes are known to be associated with AUD. The E504K mutation in the ALDH2 of the precursor protein or the E487K of the mature protein (E504K/E487K; ALDH2*2 allele) is carried by approximately 8% of the world population. In this study, we aimed to test the known inactive allele ALDH2*2, to validate the use of our extensive computational pipeline (in silico tools, molecular modeling, and molecular docking) for testing the interaction between the ALDH2*2 allele, NAD and Disulfiram. In silico predictions showed that the E504K variant of ALDH2 to be pathogenic and destabilizing with the maximum number of prediction in silico tools. Consequently, we studied the effect of this mutation mainly on the interaction between NAD -E504K and Disulfiram-E504K complexes using molecular docking technique, and molecular dynamics (MD) analysis. From the molecular docking analysis with NAD , we observed that the interaction affinity of the NAD decreases with the impact of E504K variant. On the other hand, the drug Disulfiram showed similar interaction in both the native and mutant ALDH2 proteins. Further, the comprehensive MD analysis predicted that the E504K destabilizes the protein and influences the NAD and Disulfiram interactions. Our findings reveal that the interaction of NAD to the protein is disturbed by the E504K/E487K variant whereas the drug Disulfiram has a similar effect as both native ALDH2 and ALDH2 bearing E504K/E487K variant. This study provides a platform to understand the effect of E504K/E487K on the molecular interaction with NAD and Disulfiram.
