Reactions of 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase and YwhB with 3-halopropiolates: analysis and implications.

Abstract：

:4-Oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) and YwhB, a 4-OT homologue found in Bacillus subtilis, exhibit a low level hydratase activity that converts trans-3-haloacrylates to acetaldehyde, presumably through a malonate semialdehyde intermediate. The mechanism for the initial transformation of the 3-haloacrylate to malonate semialdehyde involves Pro-1 as well as an arginine, two residues that play critical roles in the 4-OT-catalyzed isomerization reaction and the YwhB-catalyzed tautomerization reaction. These residues are also critical for the trans-3-chloroacrylic acid dehalogenase (CaaD)-catalyzed conversion of trans-3-haloacrylates to malonate semialdehyde. Recently, 3-bromo- and 3-chloropropiolate, the acetylene analogues of 3-haloacrylates, were characterized as potent irreversible inhibitors of CaaD due to the covalent modification of the catalytic proline. In view of these observations, an investigation of the behavior of 4-OT and YwhB with the 3-halopropiolates was undertaken. The results show that these compounds are potent irreversible inhibitors of 4-OT and YwhB with Pro-1 being the sole site of covalent modification by 3-bromopropiolate. The inactivation process could involve the enzyme-catalyzed addition of water to the 3-halopropiolate yielding an acyl halide, which would inactivate the enzyme or be initiated by the nucleophilic attack of Pro-1 at the C-3 position of the 3-halopropiolate in a Michael type reaction. The presence of the halogen along with Arg-11 could facilitate both reactions with the latter causing the polarization of the alpha,beta-unsaturated acids. The 3-halopropiolates are the first identified inhibitors of YwhB and confirm the importance of Pro-1 in its mechanism. In addition, the results set the stage for the use of these compounds as mechanistic probes of the primary as well as low level activities of 4-OT and YwhB.
