Abstract：
:The stereochemistry of proton transfer in the isomerization of [4 beta-2H]-5-androstene-3,17- dione (1d) to 4-androstene-3,17-dione (3) catalyzed by 3-oxo-delta 5-steroid isomerase (KSI) has been reinvestigated. In H2O, approximately 65% of the label is retained in the product (3); of this, one-third is at C-4 and two-thirds at C-6 beta. When the same reaction is catalyzed by the D38E mutant of KSI, ca. 60% of the label is retained in the product, but almost all of it is at C-4. These reactions run in deuterium oxide result in 13% incorporation of a second deuterium with the wild type (WT) enzyme and 75% incorporation with the D38E mutant. When unlabeled 1 is isomerized in D2O, there is little incorporation of deuterium with WT (ca. 5 at. %) but substantial incorporation with D38E (130 at. %). These results are consistent with competitive abstraction of both the C-4 alpha and C-4 beta protons, as proposed by Viger et al. [(1981) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 103, 4151], and demonstrate that the KSI reaction is not completely stereospecific. A mechanism is proposed to account for these observations.

Around the Mn4CaO5 cluster, a hydrogen bond network is formed by several water molecules, including four water ligands.
