Abstract：
:Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) dependent urocanase (4'-imidazolone-5'-propionate hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.49) from Pseudomonas putida was found to catalyze an exchange reaction between solvent and the 4'-hydrogen of urocanate or imidazolepropionate at a rate faster than that of overall deuterium was compared to unlabeled urocanate as a substrate, no isotope rate effect was noted. For examination of the possibility of an NAD+-mediated intramolecular hydride transfer of the 4'-hydrogen to a position on the side chain of oxoimidazolepropionate, the origins of hydrogen at positions 2 and 3 in the propionate chain were studied as a function of reaction time and extent of exchange of the 4'-hydrogen. No transfer of hydrogen from the 4' position to the side chain was observed, thereby eliminating mechanisms requiring hydride transfer via NADH between these positions. Catalytic rates in 1H2O vs. 2H2O revealed a 3-fold difference which was ascribed to a rate-limiting proton addition step. Similarly, a 5-fold decrease in Vmax was found for the reverse reaction when oxoimidazole[2,3-2H2]propionate was compared to unlabeled oxoimidazolepropionate. These data support a mechanism involving water addition across the conjugated double bond system of urocanate, rather than an internal oxidation--reduction process, yet NAD+ is required. A mechanism is proposed which uses electron delocalization in the imidazole nucleus, via an imidazole--NAD adduct, to facilitate water attack and subsequent formation of oxoimidazolepropionate.
