Abstract:
:Although it is recognized that 4,5-diaminovaleric acid, formed from glutamate 1-semialdehyde, functions as the intermediate in the last step of delta-aminolevulinic acid formation from glutamate, the enantioselectivity of the participating glutamate 1-semialdehyde aminotransferase for 4,5-diaminovaleric acid has remained unknown. In the present work the involvement of (S)- and (R)-4,5-diaminovaleric acids, newly available by organic synthesis, was investigated, using glutamate 1-semialdehyde aminotransferase from Synechococcus. The preferred enantiomer was (S)-4,5-diaminovalerate. In experiments on the transformation of (S)-4,5-diaminovalerate to delta-aminolevulinate it was found that glutamate 1-semialdehyde aminotransferase was unusual among aminotransferases in that the common amino acceptors pyruvate, oxaloacetate, alpha-ketoglutarate were inactive, while 4,5-dioxovaleric acid could be utilized as a sluggish amino acceptor in place of glutamate 1-semialdehyde. In conclusion, glutamate 1-semialdehyde aminotransferase is highly but not absolutely enantioselective for (S)-4,5-diaminovaleric acid, and 4,5-dioxovaleric acid can function as amino acceptor not because of a physiological role in the C5 pathway of delta-aminolevulinic acid formation, but because of its structural resemblance to glutamate 1-semialdehyde.
