Enzyme architecture: optimization of transition state stabilization from a cation-phosphodianion pair.

ABSTRACT: The side chain cation of R269 lies at the surface of l-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) and forms an ion pair to the phosphodianion of substrate dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), which is buried at the nonpolar protein interior. The R269A mutation of GPDH results in a 110-fold increase in K(m) (2.8 kcal/mol effect) and a 41,000-fold decrease in k(cat) (6.3 kcal/mol effect), which corresponds to a 9.1 kcal/mol destabilization of the transition state for GPDH-catalyzed reduction of DHAP by NADH. There is a 6.7 kcal/mol stabilization of the transition state for the R269A mutant GPDH-catalyzed reaction by 1.0 M guanidinium ion, and the transition state for the reaction of the substrate pieces is stabilized by an additional 2.4 kcal/mol by their covalent attachment at wildtype GPDH. These results provide strong support for the proposal that GPDH invests the 11 kcal/mol intrinsic phosphodianion binding energy of DHAP in trapping the substrate at a nonpolar active site, where strong electrostatic interactions are favored, and obtains a 9 kcal/mol return from stabilizing interactions between the side chain cation and transition state trianion. We propose a wide propagation for the catalytic motif examined in this work, which enables strong transition state stabilization from enzyme-phosphodianion pairs.

Project description:Kinetic parameters kex (s-1) and kex/Kd (M-1 s-1) are reported for exchange for deuterium in D2O of the C-6 hydrogen of 5-fluororotidine 5'-monophosphate (FUMP) catalyzed by the Q215A, Y217F, and Q215A/Y217F variants of yeast orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (ScOMPDC) at pD 8.1, and by the Q215A variant at pD 7.1-9.3. The pD rate profiles for wildtype ScOMPDC and the Q215A variant are identical, except for a 2.5 log unit downward displacement in the profile for the Q215A variant. The Q215A, Y217F and Q215A/Y217F substitutions cause 1.3-2.0 kcal/mol larger increases in the activation barrier for wildtype ScOMPDC-catalyzed deuterium exchange compared with decarboxylation, because of the stronger apparent side chain interaction with the transition state for the deuterium exchange reaction. The stabilization of the transition state for the OMPDC-catalyzed deuterium exchange reaction of FUMP is ca. 19 kcal/mol smaller than the transition state for decarboxylation of OMP, and ca. 8 kcal/mol smaller than for OMPDC-catalyzed deprotonation of FUMP to form the vinyl carbanion intermediate common to OMPDC-catalyzed reactions OMP/FOMP and UMP/FUMP. We propose that ScOMPDC shows similar stabilizing interactions with the common portions of decarboxylation and deprotonation transition states that lead to formation of this vinyl carbanion intermediate, and that there is a large ca. (19-8) = 11 kcal/mol stabilization of the former transition state from interactions with the nascent CO2 of product. The effects of Q215A and Y217F substitutions on kcat/Km for decarboxylation of OMP are expressed mainly as an increase in Km for the reactions catalyzed by the variant enzymes, while the effects on kex/Kd for deuterium exchange are expressed mainly as an increase in kex. This shows that the Q215 and Y217 side chains stabilize the Michaelis complex to OMP for the decarboxylation reaction, compared with the complex to FUMP for the deuterium exchange reaction. These results provide strong support for the conclusion that interactions which stabilize the transition state for ScOMPDC-catalyzed decarboxylation at a nonpolar enzyme active site dominate over interactions that destabilize the ground-state Michaelis complex.
