Crotonase-catalyzed beta-elimination is concerted: a double isotope effect study.

Abstract：

:Determining the sequence of bond cleavages, and consequently the nature of intermediates, in enzyme-catalyzed reactions is a major goal of mechanistic enzymology. When significant primary isotope effects on V/K are observed for two different bond cleavages, both bonds may be broken in the same transition state or they can reflect two different transition states that are of nearly identical energy and consequently both are partially rate limiting. For the crotonase-catalyzed dehydration of 3-hydroxybutyrylpantetheine, the primary D(V/K) and 18(V/K) are 1.60 and 1.053 [Bahnson, B. J., & Anderson, V. E. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 4173-4181], respectively. In this case, double isotope effects can discriminate between the two possibilities [Hermes, J. D., Roeske, C. A., O'Leary, M. H., & Cleland, W. W. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 5106-5114; Belasco, J. G., Albery, W. J., & Knowles, J. R. (1983) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 105, 2475-2477]. The ratio of the alpha-secondary D(V/K) for the hydration of crotonylpantetheine catalyzed by crotonase in H2O and D2O has been determined to be 1.003 +/- 0.006. The invariance of the alpha-secondary effect where the chemical reaction is completely rate determining requires that both bond cleavages be concerted or that the substitution of 2H at the primary position not significantly alter the partitioning of a hypothetical carbanion. The observation of a solvent discrimination isotope effect determined from the relative incorporation of 2H from 50% D2O of 1.60 +/- 0.03, identical with the primary D(V/K), and the determination that the rate of exchange of the abstracted proton with solvent proceeds at less than 3% of the overall reaction rate also fail to provide evidence for a carbanion intermediate and are consistent with a concerted reaction. Identical primary D(V/K)s determined in H2O and D2O indicate that there is not a significant solvent isotope effect on C-O bond cleavage. The isotope ratios determined in these studies were performed by negative ion chemical ionization whole molecule mass spectrometry of the pentafluorobenzyl esters, a new method whose validity is established by comparison with previously determined kinetic and equilibrium isotope effects.
