Primary Deuterium Kinetic Isotope Effects: A Probe for the Origin of the Rate Acceleration for Hydride Transfer Catalyzed by Glycerol-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase.

ABSTRACT: Large primary deuterium kinetic isotope effects (1° DKIEs) on enzyme-catalyzed hydride transfer may be observed when the transferred hydride tunnels through the energy barrier. The following 1° DKIEs on kcat/ Km and relative reaction driving force are reported for wild-type and mutant glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH)-catalyzed reactions of NADL (L = H, D): wild-type GPDH, ?? G? = 0 kcal/mol, 1° DKIE = 1.5; N270A, 5.6 kcal/mol, 3.1; R269A, 9.1 kcal/mol, 2.8; R269A + 1.0 M guanidine, 2.4 kcal/mol, 2.7; R269A/N270A, 11.5 kcal/mol, 2.4. Similar 1° DKIEs were observed on kcat. The narrow range of 1° DKIEs (2.4-3.1) observed for a 9.1 kcal/mol change in reaction driving force provides strong evidence that these are intrinsic 1° DKIEs on rate-determining hydride transfer. Evidence is presented that the intrinsic DKIE on wild-type GPDH-catalyzed reduction of DHAP lies in this range. A similar range of 1° DKIEs (2.4-2.9) on ( kcat/ KGA, M-1 s-1) was reported for dianion-activated hydride transfer from NADL to glycolaldehyde (GA) [Reyes, A. C.; Amyes, T. L.; Richard, J. P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 14526-14529]. These 1° DKIEs are much smaller than those observed for enzyme-catalyzed hydrogen transfer that occurs mainly by quantum mechanical tunneling. These results support the conclusion that the rate acceleration for GPDH-catalyzed reactions is due to the stabilization of the transition state for hydride transfer by interactions with the protein catalyst. The small 1° DKIEs reported for mutant GPDH-catalyzed and for wild-type dianion-activated reactions are inconsistent with a model where the dianion binding energy is utilized in the stabilization of a tunneling ready state.

Project description:Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is a biomedically important enzyme that plays a crucial role in lipid biosynthesis. It is activated by a ligand-gated conformational change that is necessary for the enzyme to reach a catalytically competent conformation capable of efficient transition-state stabilization. While the human form (hlGPDH) has been the subject of extensive structural and biochemical studies, corresponding computational studies to support and extend experimental observations have been lacking. We perform here detailed empirical valence bond and Hamiltonian replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations of wild-type hlGPDH and its variants, as well as providing a crystal structure of the binary hlGPDH·NAD R269A variant where the enzyme is present in the open conformation. We estimated the activation free energies for the hydride transfer reaction in wild-type and substituted hlGPDH and investigated the effect of mutations on catalysis from a detailed structural study. In particular, the K120A and R269A variants increase both the volume and solvent exposure of the active site, with concomitant loss of catalytic activity. In addition, the R269 side chain interacts with both the Q295 side chain on the catalytic loop, and the substrate phosphodianion. Our structural data and simulations illustrate the critical role of this side chain in facilitating the closure of hlGPDH into a catalytically competent conformation, through modulating the flexibility of a key catalytic loop (292-LNGQKL-297). This, in turn, rationalizes a tremendous 41,000 fold decrease experimentally in the turnover number, k cat, upon truncating this residue, as loop closure is essential for both correct positioning of key catalytic residues in the active site, as well as sequestering the active site from the solvent. Taken together, our data highlight the importance of this ligand-gated conformational change in catalysis, a feature that can be exploited both for protein engineering and for the design of allosteric inhibitors targeting this biomedically important enzyme.
