Abstract
The stereochemical course of rabbit liver fructose bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) was determined by hydrolyzing the substrate analogue (Sp)-[1-18O]fructose 1-phosphorothioate 6-phosphate in H(2)17O, incorporating the chiral, inorganic phosphorothioate product into adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiotriphosphate) (ATP beta S), and analyzing the isotopic distribution of 18O in ATP beta S by 31P NMR. The result indicates that the 1-phosphoryl group is transferred with inversion of configuration. A series of single-turnover experiments ruled out an acyl phosphate intermediate in the hydrolysis. Consequently, fructose bisphosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate via a direct transfer of the phosphoryl moiety to water.
