• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  The folate metabolism enzyme ALDH1L1 catalyzed 10-formyltetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate and CO ₂ . Non-small cell lung cancer cells (NSCLC) strongly express ALDH1L1. Gossypol binds to an allosteric site and disrupts the folate metabolism by preventing NADP ⁺ binding. The Cryo-EM structures of tetrameric C-terminal aldehyde dehydrogenase human ALDH1L1 complex with gossypol were examined. Gossypol-bound ALDH1L1 interfered with NADP ⁺ by shifting the allosteric site of the structural conformation, producing a closed-form NADP ⁺ binding site. In addition, the inhibition activity of ALDH1L1 was targeted with gossypol in NSCLC. The gossypol treatment had anti-cancer effects on NSCLC by blocking NADPH and ATP production. These findings emphasize the structure characterizing ALDH1L1 with gossypol.
