Beta-deuterium kinetic isotope effects in the purine nucleoside phosphorylase reaction.

ABSTRACT: 1. [2'-2H]Inosine was made from inosine by tetraisopropyldisiloxanyl protection of the 3'- and 5'-positions, oxidation with dimethyl sulphoxide and acetic anhydride, immediate NaB2H4 reduction of the oxo sugar product and inversion at C-2' of the resultant protected [2'-2H]arabino-inosine by trifluoromethanesulphonylation and reaction with caesium propionate, followed by deprotection. 2. The equilibrium-perturbation technique was used to measure beta 2H(V/K) for phosphorolysis of this compound by the purine nucleoside phosphorylase of Escherichia coli as a function of pH. 3. The pH variation indicates an intrinsic effect of 1.068 masked by isotopically silent steps near the pH optimum. 4. The similar pH variation of these beta-deuterium effects and the alpha-deuterium effects measured previously [Stein & Cordes (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 767-772; Lehikoinen, Sinnott & Krenitsky (1989) Biochem. J. 257, 355-359] for this reaction provides the first experimental reassurance for the common assumption that pH changes merely mask and unmask the chemical steps in an enzyme-catalysed reaction, and do not detectably alter transition-state structure. 5. The dihedral angle between the C-H-2' bond and the electron-deficient p-orbital at the transition state is in the range 32-48 degrees, in accord with an essentially planar furanose ring.

Project description:1. alpha-Deuterium kinetic isotope effects on the phosphorolysis of inosine catalysed by Escherichia coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase were measured by the equilibrium-perturbation technique, by using the change in absorbance at 250 nm (approx. 20%). 2. Values of 2H(V/K) of 1.13(9) at pH 5.0, 1.10(5) at pH 6.1, 1.09(4) at pH 7.3, 1.08 at pH 8.4 and 1.16(4) at pH 9.4 were obtained. 3. These are compared with literature alpha-deuterium kinetic isotope effects for this and related reactions. 4.

Inverse enzyme isotope effects in human purine nucleoside phosphorylase with heavy asparagine labels.

Project description:Transition path-sampling calculations with several enzymes have indicated that local catalytic site femtosecond motions are linked to transition state barrier crossing. Experimentally, femtosecond motions can be perturbed by labeling the protein with amino acids containing 13C, 15N, and nonexchangeable 2H. A slowed chemical step at the catalytic site with variable effects on steady-state kinetics is usually observed for heavy enzymes. Heavy human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) is slowed significantly (kchemlight/kchemheavy = 1.36). An asparagine (Asn243) at the catalytic site is involved in purine leaving-group activation in the PNP catalytic mechanism. In a PNP produced with isotopically heavy asparagines, the chemical step is faster (kchemlight/kchemheavy = 0.78). When all amino acids in PNP are heavy except for the asparagines, the chemical step is also faster (kchemlight/kchemheavy = 0.71). Substrate-trapping experiments provided independent confirmation of improved catalysis in these constructs. Transition path-sampling analysis of these partially labeled PNPs indicate altered femtosecond catalytic site motions with improved Asn243 interactions to the purine leaving group. Altered transition state barrier recrossing has been proposed as an explanation for heavy-PNP isotope effects but is incompatible with these isotope effects. Rate-limiting product release governs steady-state kinetics in this enzyme, and kinetic constants were unaffected in the labeled PNPs. The study suggests that mass-constrained femtosecond motions at the catalytic site of PNP can improve transition state barrier crossing by more frequent sampling of essential catalytic site contacts.

Catalytic-site design for inverse heavy-enzyme isotope effects in human purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:Heavy-enzyme isotope effects (15N-, 13C-, and 2H-labeled protein) explore mass-dependent vibrational modes linked to catalysis. Transition path-sampling (TPS) calculations have predicted femtosecond dynamic coupling at the catalytic site of human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP). Coupling is observed in heavy PNPs, where slowed barrier crossing caused a normal heavy-enzyme isotope effect (kchemlight/kchemheavy > 1.0). We used TPS to design mutant F159Y PNP, predicted to improve barrier crossing for heavy F159Y PNP, an attempt to generate a rare inverse heavy-enzyme isotope effect (kchemlight/kchemheavy < 1.0). Steady-state kinetic comparison of light and heavy native PNPs to light and heavy F159Y PNPs revealed similar kinetic properties. Pre-steady-state chemistry was slowed 32-fold in F159Y PNP. Pre-steady-state chemistry compared heavy and light native and F159Y PNPs and found a normal heavy-enzyme isotope effect of 1.31 for native PNP and an inverse effect of 0.75 for F159Y PNP. Increased isotopic mass in F159Y PNP causes more efficient transition state formation. Independent validation of the inverse isotope effect for heavy F159Y PNP came from commitment to catalysis experiments. Most heavy enzymes demonstrate normal heavy-enzyme isotope effects, and F159Y PNP is a rare example of an inverse effect. Crystal structures and TPS dynamics of native and F159Y PNPs explore the catalytic-site geometry associated with these catalytic changes. Experimental validation of TPS predictions for barrier crossing establishes the connection of rapid protein dynamics and vibrational coupling to enzymatic transition state passage.

A beta-fluoroamine inhibitor of purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:The potent immucillin purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP ) inhibitors F-DADMe-ImmH [(3S,4S)-3], and [(3R,4R)-3] are synthesized in seven steps. Cycloaddition to a fluoroalkene and an enzymic resolution are the key features of the construction of the fluoropyrrolidines 11, from which the immucillins are assembled by use of a three-component Mannich reaction. Slow-onset binding constants (Ki(*)) for [(3S,4S)-3] and [(3R,4R)-3] with human PNP are 0.032 and 1.82 nM, respectively. F-DADMe-ImmH [(3S,4S)-3] exhibits oral availability in mice at doses as low as 0.2 mg/kg.

Cyclooxygenase reaction mechanism of prostaglandin H synthase from deuterium kinetic isotope effects.

Project description:Cyclooxygenase catalysis by prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) is thought to involve a multistep mechanism with several radical intermediates. The proposed mechanism begins with transfer of the C13 pro-(S) hydrogen atom from the substrate arachidonic acid (AA) to the Tyr385 radical in PGHS, followed by oxygen insertion and several bond rearrangements. The importance of the hydrogen-transfer step to controlling the overall kinetics of cyclooxygenase catalysis has not been directly examined. We quantified the non-competitive primary kinetic isotope effect (KIE) for both PGHS-1 and -2 using unlabeled AA and several deuterated AAs, including 13-pro-(S) d-AA, 13,13-d(2)-AA and 10, 10, 13,13-d(4)-AA. The primary KIE for steady-state cyclooxygenase catalysis, (D)k(cat), ranged between 1.8 and 2.3 in oxygen electrode measurements. The intrinsic KIE of AA radical formation by C13 pro-(S) hydrogen abstraction in PGHS-1 was estimated to be 1.9-2.3 using rapid freeze-quench EPR kinetic analysis of anaerobic reactions and computer modeling to a mechanism that includes slow formation of a pentadienyl AA radical and rapid equilibration of the AA radical with a tyrosyl radical, NS1c. The observation of similar values for steady-state and pre-steady state KIEs suggests that hydrogen abstraction is a rate-limiting step in cyclooxygenase catalysis. The large difference of the observed KIE from that of lipoxygenase indicates very different mechanism of hydrogen transfer.

Transition Path Sampling Study of the Reaction Catalyzed by Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase.

Project description:The Transition Path Sampling (TPS) method is a powerful technique for studying rare events in complex systems, that allows description of reactive events in atomic detail without prior knowledge of reaction coordinates and transition states. We have applied TPS in combination with a hybrid Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) method to study the enzyme human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (hPNP). This enzyme catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of 6-oxypurine (deoxy)nucleosides to generate the corresponding purine base and (deoxy)ribose 1-phosphate. Hundreds of reactive trajectories were generated. Analysis of this transition path ensembles provides insight into the detailed mechanistic dynamics of reaction in the enzyme. Our studies have indicated a reaction mechanism involving the cleavage of the N-ribosidic bond to form transition states with substantial ribooxacarbenium ion character, that is then followed by conformational changes in the enzyme and the ribosyl group leading to migration of the anomeric carbon of the ribosyl group toward phosphate to form the product ribose 1-phosphate. This latter process is crucial in PNP, because several strong H-bonds form between active site residues in order to capture and align the phosphate nucleophile. Calculations of the commitment probability along reactive paths demonstrated the presence of a broad energy barrier at the transition state. Analysis of these transition state structures showed that bond-breaking and bond-forming distances are not a good choice for the reaction coordinate, but that the pseudorotational phase of the ribose ring is also a significant variable.

Quantum Suppression of Intramolecular Deuterium Kinetic Isotope Effects in a Pericyclic Hydrogen Transfer Reaction.

Project description:It is generally accepted that hydrogen tunneling enhances both primary and secondary H/D kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) over what would be expected under the assumptions of classical barrier transition. Previous studies have exclusively shown that the effects of tunneling upon primary H/D KIEs have been much larger than those observed for secondary H/D KIEs. Here we present a series of experimental H/D KIE results associated with the Chugaev elimination of methyl xanthate derived from ?-phenylethanol over the temperature range of 180 to 290 °C. Intramolecular H/D KIEs computed according to classical transition state theory (TST) are markedly overestimated relative to experimentally measured values. Experimental intermolecular H/D KIEs and direct dynamic calculations based on canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) with small-curvature tunneling correction (SCT) reveal that this result is largely the consequence of extraordinary tunneling enhancement of the secondary H/D KIE. This unexpected behavior is examined in the context of other similar hydrogen transfer reactions.

Structure of grouper iridovirus purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of purine ribonucleosides to the corresponding free bases and ribose 1-phosphate. The crystal structure of grouper iridovirus PNP (givPNP), corresponding to the first PNP gene to be found in a virus, was determined at 2.4 A resolution. The crystals belonged to space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = 193.0, c = 105.6 A, and contained four protomers per asymmetric unit. The overall structure of givPNP shows high similarity to mammalian PNPs, having an alpha/beta structure with a nine-stranded mixed beta-barrel flanked by a total of nine alpha-helices. The predicted phosphate-binding and ribose-binding sites are occupied by a phosphate ion and a Tris molecule, respectively. The geometrical arrangement and hydrogen-bonding patterns of the phosphate-binding site are similar to those found in the human and bovine PNP structures. The enzymatic activity assay of givPNP on various substrates revealed that givPNP can only accept 6-oxopurine nucleosides as substrates, which is also suggested by its amino-acid composition and active-site architecture. All these results suggest that givPNP is a homologue of mammalian PNPs in terms of amino-acid sequence, molecular mass, substrate specificity and overall structure, as well as in the composition of the active site.

Isotope-specific and amino acid-specific heavy atom substitutions alter barrier crossing in human purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:Computational chemistry predicts that atomic motions on the femtosecond timescale are coupled to transition-state formation (barrier-crossing) in human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP). The prediction is experimentally supported by slowed catalytic site chemistry in isotopically labeled PNP (13C, 15N, and 2H). However, other explanations are possible, including altered volume or bond polarization from carbon-deuterium bonds or propagation of the femtosecond bond motions into slower (nanoseconds to milliseconds) motions of the larger protein architecture to alter catalytic site chemistry. We address these possibilities by analysis of chemistry rates in isotope-specific labeled PNPs. Catalytic site chemistry was slowed for both [2H]PNP and [13C, 15N]PNP in proportion to their altered protein masses. Secondary effects emanating from carbon-deuterium bond properties can therefore be eliminated. Heavy-enzyme mass effects were probed for local or global contributions to catalytic site chemistry by generating [15N, 2H]His8-PNP. Of the eight His per subunit, three participate in contacts to the bound reactants and five are remote from the catalytic sites. [15N, 2H]His8-PNP had reduced catalytic site chemistry larger than proportional to the enzymatic mass difference. Altered barrier crossing when only His are heavy supports local catalytic site femtosecond perturbations coupled to transition-state formation. Isotope-specific and amino acid specific labels extend the use of heavy enzyme methods to distinguish global from local isotope effects.

Inhibition and structure of Toxoplasma gondii purine nucleoside phosphorylase.

Project description:The intracellular pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is a purine auxotroph that relies on purine salvage for proliferation. We have optimized T. gondii purine nucleoside phosphorylase (TgPNP) stability and crystallized TgPNP with phosphate and immucillin-H, a transition-state analogue that has high affinity for the enzyme. Immucillin-H bound to TgPNP with a dissociation constant of 370 pM, the highest affinity of 11 immucillins selected to probe the catalytic site. The specificity for transition-state analogues indicated an early dissociative transition state for TgPNP. Compared to Plasmodium falciparum PNP, large substituents surrounding the 5'-hydroxyl group of inhibitors demonstrate reduced capacity for TgPNP inhibition. Catalytic discrimination against large 5' groups is consistent with the inability of TgPNP to catalyze the phosphorolysis of 5'-methylthioinosine to hypoxanthine. In contrast to mammalian PNP, the 2'-hydroxyl group is crucial for inhibitor binding in the catalytic site of TgPNP. This first crystal structure of TgPNP describes the basis for discrimination against 5'-methylthioinosine and similarly 5'-hydroxy-substituted immucillins; structural differences reflect the unique adaptations of purine salvage pathways of Apicomplexa.
