Role of a guanidinium cation-phosphodianion pair in stabilizing the vinyl carbanion intermediate of orotidine 5'-phosphate decarboxylase-catalyzed reactions.

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-(?-d-erythrofuranosyl)orotic acid and 1-(?-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.

Project description:The exchange for deuterium of the C-6 protons of uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) and 5-fluorouridine 5'-monophosphate (F-UMP) catalyzed by yeast orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (ScOMPDC) at pD 6.5-9.3 and 25 °C was monitored by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Deuterium exchange proceeds by proton transfer from C-6 of the bound nucleotide to the deprotonated side chain of Lys-93 to give the enzyme-bound vinyl carbanion. The pD-rate profiles for k(cat) give turnover numbers for deuterium exchange into enzyme-bound UMP and F-UMP of 1.2 × 10(-5) and 0.041 s(-1), respectively, so that the 5-fluoro substituent results in a 3400-fold increase in the first-order rate constant for deuterium exchange. The binding of UMP and F-UMP to ScOMPDC results in 0.5 and 1.4 unit decreases, respectively, in the pK(a) of the side chain of the catalytic base Lys-93, showing that these nucleotides bind preferentially to the deprotonated enzyme. We also report the first carbon acid pK(a) values for proton transfer from C-6 of uridine (pK(CH) = 28.8) and 5-fluorouridine (pK(CH) = 25.1) in aqueous solution. The stabilizing effects of the 5-fluoro substituent on C-6 carbanion formation in solution (5 kcal/mol) and at ScOMPDC (6 kcal/mol) are similar. The binding of UMP and F-UMP to ScOMPDC results in a greater than 5 × 10(9)-fold increase in the equilibrium constant for proton transfer from C-6, so that ScOMPDC stabilizes the bound vinyl carbanions, relative to the bound nucleotides, by at least 13 kcal/mol. The pD-rate profile for k(cat)/K(m) for deuterium exchange into F-UMP gives the intrinsic second-order rate constant for exchange catalyzed by the deprotonated enzyme as 2300 M(-1) s(-1). This was used to calculate a total rate acceleration for ScOMPDC-catalyzed deuterium exchange of 3 × 10(10) M(-1), which corresponds to a transition-state stabilization for deuterium exchange of 14 kcal/mol. We conclude that a large portion of the total transition-state stabilization for the decarboxylation of orotidine 5'-monophosphate can be accounted for by stabilization of the enzyme-bound vinyl carbanion intermediate of the stepwise reaction.
