Abstract
![]()
Values of (kcat/Km)GAP for triosephosphate
isomerase-catalyzed reactions
of (R)-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and kcat/KHPiKGA for reactions of the substrate pieces glycolaldehyde
and HPO32– have been determined for wild-type
and the following TIM mutants: I172V, I172A, L232A, and P168A (TIM
from Trypanosoma brucei brucei); a
208-TGAG for 208-YGGS loop 7 replacement mutant (L7RM, TIM from chicken
muscle); and, Y208T, Y208S, Y208A, Y208F and S211A (yeast TIM). A
superb linear logarithmic correlation, with slope of 1.04 ± 0.03,
is observed between the kinetic parameters for wild-type and most
mutant enzymes, with positive deviations for L232A and L7RM. The unit
slope shows that most mutations result in an identical change in the
activation barriers for the catalyzed reactions of whole substrate
and substrate pieces, so that the two transition states are stabilized
by similar interactions with the protein catalyst. This is consistent
with a role for dianions as active spectators, which hold TIM in a
catalytically active caged form.

Abstract
Orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of truncated substrate (1-β-D-erythrofuranosyl)orotic acid to form (1-β-D-erythrofuranosyl)uracil. This enzyme-catalyzed reaction is activated by tetrahedral oxydianions, which bind weakly to unliganded OMPDC and tightly to the enzyme-transition state complex, with the following intrinsic oxydianion binding energies (kcal/mol): SO3(2-), -8.3; HPO3(2-), -7.7; S2O3(2-), -4.6; SO4(2-), -4.5; HOPO3(2-), -3.0; HOAsO3(2-), no activation detected. We propose that the oxydianion and orotate binding domains of OMPDC perform complementary functions in catalysis of decarboxylation reactions: (1) The orotate binding domain carries out decarboxylation of the orotate ring. (2) The activating oxydianion binding domain has the cryptic function of utilizing binding interactions with tetrahedral inorganic oxydianions to drive an enzyme conformational change that results in the stabilization of transition states at the distant orotate domain.

Abstract
The side chain cation of Arg235 provides a 5.6 and 2.6 kcal/mol stabilization of the transition states for orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) decarboxylase (OMPDC) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae catalyzed reactions of OMP and 5-fluoroorotidine 5'-monophosphate (FOMP), respectively, a 7.2 kcal/mol stabilization of the vinyl carbanion-like transition state for enzyme-catalyzed exchange of the C-6 proton of 5-fluorouridine 5'-monophosphate (FUMP), but no stabilization of the transition states for enzyme-catalyzed decarboxylation of truncated substrates 1-(β-d-erythrofuranosyl)orotic acid and 1-(β-d-erythrofuranosyl) 5-fluorouracil. These observations show that the transition state stabilization results from formation of a protein cation-phosphodianion pair, and that there is no detectable stabilization from an interaction between the side chain and the pyrimidine ring of substrate. The 5.6 kcal/mol side chain interaction with the transition state for the decarboxylation reaction is 50% of the total 11.2 kcal/mol transition state stabilization by interactions with the phosphodianion of OMP, whereas the 7.2 kcal/mol side chain interaction with the transition state for the deuterium exchange reaction is a larger 78% of the total 9.2 kcal/mol transition state stabilization by interactions with the phosphodianion of FUMP. The effect of the R235A mutation on the enzyme-catalyzed deuterium exchange is expressed predominantly as a change in the turnover number kex, whereas the effect on the enzyme-catalyzed decarboxylation of OMP is expressed predominantly as a change in the Michaelis constant Km. These results are rationalized by a mechanism in which the binding of OMP, compared with that for FUMP, provides a larger driving force for conversion of OMPDC from an inactive open conformation to a productive, active, closed conformation.

Abstract
Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) catalyzes the isomerization of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to form d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The effects of two structural mutations in TIM on the kinetic parameters for catalysis of the reaction of the truncated substrate glycolaldehyde (GA) and the activation of this reaction by phosphite dianion are reported. The P168A mutation results in similar 50- and 80-fold decreases in (kcat/Km)E and (kcat/Km)E·HPi, respectively, for deprotonation of GA catalyzed by free TIM and by the TIM·HPO(3)(2-) complex. The mutation has little effect on the observed and intrinsic phosphite dianion binding energy or the magnitude of phosphite dianion activation of TIM for catalysis of deprotonation of GA. A loop 7 replacement mutant (L7RM) of TIM from chicken muscle was prepared by substitution of the archaeal sequence 208-TGAG with 208-YGGS. L7RM exhibits a 25-fold decrease in (kcat/Km)E and a larger 170-fold decrease in (kcat/Km)E·HPi for reactions of GA. The mutation has little effect on the observed and intrinsic phosphodianion binding energy and only a modest effect on phosphite dianion activation of TIM. The observation that both the P168A and loop 7 replacement mutations affect mainly the kinetic parameters for TIM-catalyzed deprotonation but result in much smaller changes in the parameters for enzyme activation by phosphite dianion provides support for the conclusion that catalysis of proton transfer and dianion activation of TIM take place at separate, weakly interacting, sites in the protein catalyst.

Abstract
cis-3-Chloroacrylic acid dehalogenase (cis-CaaD) from Pseudomonas pavonaceae 170 and a homologue from Corynebacterium glutamicum designated Cg10062 are 34% identical in sequence (54% similar). The former catalyzes a key step in a bacterial catabolic pathway for the nematocide 1,3-dichloropropene, whereas the latter has no known biological activity. Although Cg10062 has the six active site residues (Pro-1, His-28, Arg-70, Arg-73, Tyr-103, and Glu-114) that are critical for cis-CaaD activity, it shows only a low level cis-CaaD activity and lacks the specificity of cis-CaaD: Cg10062 processes both isomers of 3-chloroacrylate with a preference for the cis isomer. The basis for these differences is unknown, but a comparison of the crystal structures of the enzymes covalently modified by an adduct resulting from their incubation with the same inhibitor offers a possible explanation. A six-residue active site loop in cis-CaaD shows a conformation strikingly different from that observed in Cg10062: the loop closes down on the active site of cis-CaaD, but not on that of Cg10062. To examine what this loop might contribute to cis-CaaD catalysis and specificity, the residues were changed individually to those found in Cg10062. Subsequent kinetic and mechanistic analysis suggests that the T34A mutant of cis-CaaD is more Cg10062-like. The mutant enzyme shows a 4-fold increase in Km (using cis-3-bromoacrylate), but not to the degree observed for Cg10062 (687-fold). The mutation also causes a 4-fold decrease in the burst rate (compared to that of wild-type cis-CaaD), whereas Cg10062 shows no burst rate. More telling is the reaction of the T34A mutant of cis-CaaD with the alternate substrate, 2,3-butadienoate. In the presence of NaBH4 and the allene, cis-CaaD is completely inactivated after one turnover because of the covalent modification of Pro-1. The same experiment with Cg10062 does not result in the covalent modification of Pro-1. The different outcomes are attributed to covalent catalysis (using Pro-1) followed by hydrolysis of the enamine or imine tautomer in cis-CaaD versus direct hydration of the allene to yield acetoacetate in the case of Cg10062. The T34A mutant shows partial inactivation, requiring five turnovers of the substrate per monomer, which suggests that the direct hydration route is favored 80% of the time. However, the mutation does not alter the stereochemistry at C-2 of [2-D]acetoacetate when the reaction is conducted in D2O. Both cis-CaaD and the T34 mutant generate (2R)-[2-D]acetoacetate, whereas Cg10062 generates mostly the 2S isomer. The combined observations are consistent with a role for the loop region in cis-CaaD specificity and catalysis, but the precise role remains to be determined.

Abstract
Glu-167 of triosephosphate isomerase from Trypanosoma brucei brucei (TbbTIM) acts as the base to deprotonate substrate to form an enediolate phosphate trianion intermediate. We report that there is a large ~6 pK unit increase in the basicity of the carboxylate side chain of Glu-167 upon binding of the inhibitor phosphoglycolate trianion (I(3-)), an analog of the enediolate phosphate intermediate, from pKEH ≈ 4 for the protonated free enzyme EH to pK(EHI) ≈ 10 for the protonated enzyme-inhibitor complex EH•I(3-). We propose that there is a similar increase in the basicity of this side chain when the physiological substrates are deprotonated by TbbTIM to form an enediolate phosphate trianion intermediate and that it makes an important contribution to the enzymatic rate acceleration. The affinity of wildtype TbbTIM for I(3-) increases 20,000-fold upon decreasing the pH from 9.3 to 4.9, because TbbTIM exists mainly in the basic form E over this pH range, while the inhibitor binds specifically to the rare protonated enzyme EH. This reflects the large increase in the basicity of the carboxylate side chain of Glu-167 upon binding of I(3-) to EH to give EH•I(3-). The I172A mutation at TbbTIM results in an ~100-fold decrease in the affinity of TbbTIM for I(3-) at pH < 6 and an ~2 pK unit decrease in the basicity of the carboxylate side chain of Glu-167 at the EH•I(3-) complex, to pK(EHI) = 7.7. Therefore, the hydrophobic side chain of Ile-172 plays a critical role in effecting the large increase in the basicity of the catalytic base upon the binding of substrate and/or inhibitors.

Abstract
Linus Pauling proposed that the large rate accelerations for enzymes are caused by the high specificity of the protein catalyst for binding the reaction transition state. The observation that stable analogues of the transition states for enzymatic reactions often act as tight-binding inhibitors provided early support for this simple and elegant proposal. We review experimental results that support the proposal that Pauling's model provides a satisfactory explanation for the rate accelerations for many heterolytic enzymatic reactions through high-energy reaction intermediates, such as proton transfer and decarboxylation. Specificity in transition state binding is obtained when the total intrinsic binding energy of the substrate is significantly larger than the binding energy observed at the Michaelis complex. The results of recent studies that aimed to characterize the specificity in binding of the enolate oxygen at the transition state for the 1,3-isomerization reaction catalyzed by ketosteroid isomerase are reviewed. Interactions between pig heart succinyl-coenzyme A:3-oxoacid coenzyme A transferase (SCOT) and the nonreacting portions of coenzyme A (CoA) are responsible for a rate increase of 3 × 10(12)-fold, which is close to the estimated total 5 × 10(13)-fold enzymatic rate acceleration. Studies that partition the interactions between SCOT and CoA into their contributing parts are reviewed. Interactions of the protein with the substrate phosphodianion group provide an ~12 kcal/mol stabilization of the transition state for the reactions catalyzed by triosephosphate isomerase, orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase, and α-glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase. The interactions of these enzymes with the substrate piece phosphite dianion provide a 6-8 kcal/mol stabilization of the transition state for reaction of the appropriate truncated substrate. Enzyme activation by phosphite dianion reflects the higher dianion affinity for binding to the enzyme-transition state complex compared with that of the free enzyme. Evidence is presented that supports a model in which the binding energy of the phosphite dianion piece, or the phosphodianion group of the whole substrate, is utilized to drive an enzyme conformational change from an inactive open form E(O) to an active closed form E(C), by closure of a phosphodianion gripper loop. Members of the enolase and haloalkanoic acid dehalogenase superfamilies use variable capping domains to interact with nonreacting portions of the substrate and sequester the substrate from interaction with bulk solvent. Interactions of this capping domain with the phenyl group of mandelate have been shown to activate mandelate racemase for catalysis of deprotonation of α-carbonyl carbon. We propose that an important function of these capping domains is to utilize the binding interactions with nonreacting portions of the substrate to activate the enzyme for catalysis.

Abstract
The role of the nonreacting phosphodianion group of 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP) in catalysis by DXP reductoisomerase (DXR) was investigated for the reaction of the "substrate in pieces". The truncated substrate 1-deoxy-l-erythrulose is converted by DXR to 2-C-methylglycerol with a kcat/Km that is 10(6)-fold lower than that for DXP. Phosphite dianion was found to be a nonessential activator, providing 3.2 kcal/mol of transition state stabilization for the truncated substrate. These results implicate a phosphate-driven conformational change involving loop closure over the DXR active site to generate an environment poised for catalysis.

Abstract
The syntheses of two novel truncated analogs of the natural substrate orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) for orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPDC) with enhanced reactivity toward decarboxylation are reported: 1-(β-d-erythrofuranosyl)-5-fluoroorotic acid (FEO) and 5'-deoxy-5-fluoroorotidine (5'-dFO). A comparison of the second-order rate constants for the OMPDC-catalyzed decarboxylations of FEO (10 M⁻¹ s⁻¹) and 1-(β-d-erythrofuranosyl)orotic acid (EO, 0.026 M⁻¹ s⁻¹) shows that the vinyl carbanion-like transition state is stabilized by 3.5 kcal/mol by interactions with the 5-F substituent of FEO. The OMPDC-catalyzed decarboxylations of FEO and EO are both activated by exogenous phosphite dianion (HPO₃²⁻), but the 5-F substituent results in only a 0.8 kcal stabilization of the transition state for the phosphite-activated reaction of FEO. This provides strong evidence that the phosphite-activated OMPDC-catalyzed reaction of FEO is not limited by the chemical step of decarboxylation of the enzyme-bound substrate. Evidence is presented that there is a change in the rate-limiting step from the chemical step of decarboxylation for the phosphite-activated reaction of EO, to closure of the phosphate gripper loop and an enzyme conformational change at the ternary E•FEO•HPO₃²⁻ complex for the reaction of FEO. The 4'-CH₃ and 4'-CH₂OH groups of 5'-dFO and orotidine, respectively, result in identical destabilizations of the transition state for the unactivated decarboxylation of 2.9 kcal/mol. By contrast, the 4'-CH₃ group of 5'-dFO and the 4'-CH₂OH group of orotidine result in very different 4.7 and 8.3 kcal/mol destabilizations of the transition state for the phosphite-activated decarboxylation. Here, the destabilizing effect of the 4'-CH₃ substituent at 5'-dFO is masked by the rate-limiting conformational change that depresses the third-order rate constant for the phosphite-activated reaction of the parent substrate FEO.

Abstract
The binding of a ligand to orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPDC) is accompanied by a conformational change from an open, inactive conformation (E(o)) to a closed, active conformation (E(c)). As the substrate traverses the reaction coordinate to form the stabilized vinyl carbanion/carbene intermediate, interactions that destabilize the carboxylate group of the substrate and stabilize the intermediate (in the E(c)·S(‡) complex) are enforced. Focusing on the OMPDC from Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus, we find the "remote" 5'-phosphate group of the substrate activates the enzyme 2.4 × 10(8)-fold; the activation is equivalently described by an intrinsic binding energy (IBE) of 11.4 kcal/mol. We studied residues in the activation that (1) directly contact the 5'-phosphate group, (2) participate in a hydrophobic cluster near the base of the active site loop that sequesters the bound substrate from the solvent, and (3) form hydrogen bonding interactions across the interface between the "mobile" and "fixed" half-barrel domains of the (β/α)(8)-barrel structure. Our data support a model in which the IBE provided by the 5'-phosphate group is used to allow interactions both near the N-terminus of the active site loop and across the domain interface that stabilize both the E(c)·S and E(c)·S(‡) complexes relative to the E(o)·S complex. The conclusion that the IBE of the 5'-phosphate group provides stabilization to both the E(c)·S and E(c)·S(‡) complexes, not just the E(c)·S(‡) complex, is central to understanding the structural origins of enzymatic catalysis as well as the requirements for the de novo design of enzymes that catalyze novel reactions.

Abstract
In the present work, we produced two monoclonal antibodies (BrBm37 and BrBm38) and tested their action against the triosephosphate isomerase of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (RmTIM). These antibodies recognize epitopes on both the native and recombinant forms of the protein. rRmTIM inhibition by BrBm37 was up to 85% whereas that of BrBrm38 was 98%, depending on the antibody-enzyme ratio. RmTIM activity was lower in ovarian, gut, and fat body tissue extracts treated with BrBm37 or BrBm38 mAbs. The proliferation of the embryonic tick cell line (BME26) was inhibited by BrBm37 and BrBm38 mAbs. In summary, the results reveal that it is possible to interfere with the RmTIM function using antibodies, even in intact cells.

Abstract
The role of the hydrophobic side chains of Ile-172 and Leu-232 in catalysis of the reversible isomerization of R-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) by triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) from Trypanosoma brucei brucei (Tbb) has been investigated. The I172A and L232A mutations result in 100- and 6-fold decreases in k(cat)/K(m) for the isomerization reaction, respectively. The effect of the mutations on the product distributions for the catalyzed reactions of GAP and of [1-(13)C]-glycolaldehyde ([1-(13)C]-GA) in D(2)O is reported. The 40% yield of DHAP from wild-type Tbb TIM-catalyzed isomerization of GAP with intramolecular transfer of hydrogen is found to decrease to 13% and to 4%, respectively, for the reactions catalyzed by the I172A and L232A mutants. Likewise, the 13% yield of [2-(13)C]-GA from isomerization of [1-(13)C]-GA in D(2)O is found to decrease to 2% and to 1%, respectively, for the reactions catalyzed by the I172A and L232A mutants. The decrease in the yield of the product of intramolecular transfer of hydrogen is consistent with a repositioning of groups at the active site that favors transfer of the substrate-derived hydrogen to the protein or the oxygen anion of the bound intermediate. The I172A and L232A mutations result in (a) a >10-fold decrease (I172A) and a 17-fold increase (L232A) in the second-order rate constant for the TIM-catalyzed reaction of [1-(13)C]-GA in D(2)O, (b) a 170-fold decrease (I172A) and 25-fold increase (L232A) in the third-order rate constant for phosphite dianion (HPO(3)(2-)) activation of the TIM-catalyzed reaction of GA in D(2)O, and (c) a 1.5-fold decrease (I172A) and a larger 16-fold decrease (L232A) in K(d) for activation of TIM by HPO(3)(2-) in D(2)O. The effects of the I172A mutation on the kinetic parameters for the wild-type TIM-catalyzed reactions of the whole substrate and substrate pieces are consistent with a decrease in the basicity of the carboxylate side chain of Glu-167 for the mutant enzyme. The data provide striking evidence that the L232A mutation leads to a ca. 1.7 kcal/mol stabilization of a catalytically active loop-closed form of TIM (E(C)) relative to an inactive open form (E(O)).
