Metals in Enzyme-Catalyzed Enolization and Elimination Reactions A. S. MILDVAN The Institute for Cancer Research, Fox Chase, Philadelphia, Pa. 19111 and The University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. 19104

Nuclear relaxation studies of substrates and inhibitors have resulted in the detection of 10 enzyme-Mn-substrate and 4 enzyme-Mn-inhibitor bridge complexes possessing kinetic and thermodynamic properties consistent with their partici­ pation in enzyme catalysis. Three cases of αactivation, by divalent cations, of enzyme-catalyzed enolization reactions (pyruvate carboxylase, yeast aldolase, D-xylose isomerase), and one case of δ activation of an enzyme-catalyzed elimina­ tion reaction (histidine deaminase) have thereby been estab­ lished. Thus, in each proven case, the enzyme-bound Mn coordinates an electronegative atom (Z) of the substrate, which is attached to a carbon atom one or two bonds away from the carbon atom which is to be deprotonated:

By σ and π electron withdrawal, the metal ion increases the acidity of this proton and facilitates its removal.

/ C o n s i d e r i n g the role of metals in the mechanism of enzyme-catalyzed ^ elimination and enolization reactions, so that we might understand the role of the metal, we w i l l restrict ourselves to those cases i n which both the substrate and the enzyme donate ligands to the metal, i n the ternary complex; i.e., in which an enzyme-metal-substrate bridge com­ plex ( E - M - S ) has been established.

Figure 1. Distances in established enzyme-metal-substrate bridge complexes from longitudinal nuclear relaxation rates In 1966, two methods were introduced for the detection and study of E - M - S complexes i n solution: the E P R method (1) and the N M R method (2, 3 ) . Both require the presence of a paramagnetic metal. The E P R method, which was used to establish the structure of the metmyoglobin-Fe -fluoride complex (1), consists of the detection of hyperfine splitting i n the E P R spectrum of the metal by a magnetic nucleus of the ligand. Since hyperfine coupling operates only through chemical bonds (4), the E P R method rigorously demonstrates direct coordination, but is probably limited to complexes of F e and C u at liquid nitrogen temperatures. The N M R method, first used to detect the pyruvate kinase-Mn — 0 P F complex (2, 3 ) , consists of the demonstration of an enhanced effect of the enzyme-bound paramagnetic metal on the nuclear relaxation rates of magnetic nuclei of the ligand. The N M R method, which is useful i n the liquid state at ambient temperatures where the enzyme can function, has been used with M n , C o , and F e (5,6,7) and in principle should be applicable to C u enzymes as well. A large number of enzyme-metalsubstrate bridge complexes have been detected by the N M R method, which also permits the determination of their kinetic and thermodynamic properties ( 5 ) . The metmyoglobin-Fe -fluoride complex, originally demonstrated by the E P R method, has been detected b y the N M R method as well ( 6 ) . Those metal bridge complexes detected i n solution which possess kinetic and thermodynamic properties consistent with their participation in the catalytic process are summarized i n Figure 1.

Reactions

The mechanisms of enolization and elimination reactions, when generalized, are closely related.

enolization

elimination (3)

In both reactions, a proton is removed from a carbon atom (Cp) by a base, a double bond is formed, and an electron pair shifts from a carbon atom ( C ) to a basic (electronegative) atom. Elimination reactions have been more finely subdivided (17) depending on whether the atom removed initially is the proton (carbanion or E 1 C B mechanism), the base (carbonium ion or E - l mechanism), or both (concerted or E-2 mechanism). The mode of activation of enzyme-catalyzed enolization and elimination reactions by metals w i l l be classified according to the site on the substrate which is coordinated by the metal. a

a

Activation

In ternary enzyme-metal-substrate bridge complexes, metals might activate enolization and elimination reactions by coordination of the electronegative atom ( X ) attached to the a carbon atom ("a activation").

Pyruvate

The substrates of step 1 do not interact with the enzyme-bound manga­ nese, as shown by the fact that they do not lower the enhanced effect of M n on the relaxation rate of water (10, 11). The substrates of step 2 (pyruvate, oxalacetate, and α-ketobutyrate) are coordinated by the en­ zyme-bound M n , as demonstrated indirectly b y decreases i n the water relaxation rates (Table I ) (10,11) and directly by enhancements of the relaxation rates of the carbon-bound protons of these substrates (Table RF

The coupling constant is inconsistent with carboxyl coordination but consistent with carbonyl coordination (15). Similar data for a-ketobutyrate ( 15) and oxalacetate (19) have been fit by exchange contributions ( 1 / T M ) and inner sphere contributions (T and T M). The rates of formation of these metal bridge complexes from an outer sphere complex (fc , ) are limited predominantly b y the rate of dissociation of a water molecule from the coordination sphere of the enzyme-bound manganese (Figure 3, Table V ) ( 15,19), as required by the S#l-outer sphere mechanism of Eigen and Tamm (20), 1M

Yeast Aldolase Another example of a activation of enolization of the substrate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate ( D H A P ) , occurs with yeast aldolase (22), a Z n metalloenzyme in which the Z n may be removed and replaced by M n (23).

As seen from the data in Table II, the enzyme enhances the effect of bound M n on the C-3 protons of acetol phosphate, indicating the forma­ tion of an enzyme-Mn-substrate bridge complex. However, the enzymebound M n has a smaller effect on the C - l protons, indicating that the presence of the enzyme alters the structure of the M n coordination com­ plexes. Thus, in the absence of enzyme, from distance calculations and from stability constants, inorganic M n forms a monodentate phosphate complex with acetol phosphate. 0

Monodentate phosphate coordination provides the only structure which can accommodate the fact that M n is 37% closer to the C - l protons than to the C-3 protons in the binary complexes. In contrast to inorganic M n , the enzyme-bound M n is equidistant from the C - l and C-3 protons in the ternary E - M n - a c e t o l phosphate complex (Figure 1), suggesting carbonyl coordination in addition to phosphoryl coordination. W h i l e the uncertainty in the absolute value of these distances in the ternary complexes is high (Figure 1), the error in the relative values of these distances is low ( ± 4 % ). Hence, it may be concluded that the enzyme has forced the M n to coordinate the carbonyl group at C-2 as well as the phosphate at C - l (Figure 1). The changes in the Mn-to-proton hyperfine coupling constants caused by the enzyme (Table I V ) are con­ sistent with this view. The exchange rates of D H A P and acetol phos­ phate into the coordination sphere of enzyme-bound M n are at least two orders of magnitude greater than the rate of catalysis. The dissociation constants of these E-Mn-substrate complexes, as determined by displace­ ment of the substrates in the N M R experiment by the competitive inhib­ itor arabinitol diphosphate, agree with their Michaelis constants. Hence, the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of these metal bridge com2 +

plexes are consistent with their participation i n catalysis. The results are consistent with an electrophilic role for the metal as proposed by Rutter (26). In addition, by coordinating the phosphate at C - l , the metal serves to orient the substrate (Figure 5 ) . In animal aldolases, no metal is found. Rather, a protonated Schiff base functions as the electrophile to facilitate deprotonation and enolization of the substrate (27) (Figure 5 C ) .

Xylose Isomer use A third example of α activation occurs with D-xylose isomerase. The enzymes from lactobacillus (28) and streptomyces (29) require a d i ­ valent cation for activity. Both enzymes form metal bridge complexes to the C - l hydroxyl group of a-D-xylose by the N M R method since these enzymes enhance the effect of M n on the relaxation rates of the C - l proton of a-D-xylose (Table II) (7, 30, 31). The calculated Mn -to-proton dis­ tances (Figure 1) and coupling constants (Table I V ) are consistent with the following structure. 2+

Closure of the furanose ring from above the plane of the carbonyl group to form α-D-xylulose would complete the reaction:

The thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the enzyme-Mn-a-D-xylose bridge complex (Table V ) detected in the N M R experiment are con­ sistent with its participation in the catalytic process. The inactive β anomer of D-xylose binds to the Mn-enzyme as detected by changes in the water relaxation rate but in a manner which differs in structure from that of the active ( a ) substrate since no effect is observed on the relaxa­ tion rates of the C - l proton of the β form (31). Hence, the enzyme selects the α-anomer of the substrate from the mutarotated mixture. β

Activation

As judged by organic model reactions, β activation (i.e., coordination of a group on the β carbon atom by a metal ) should be an effective means of promoting an enolization or an elimination reaction.

Thus, α-D-glucose, an alternative substrate for xylose isomerase, de-enhances the effect of the xylose isomerase-Mn complex on the relaxation rate of water protons more than D-2-deoxyglucose does, suggesting that glucose might donate an additional ligand to the M n .

of water protons is greatly reduced by the substrate L-histidine, or by inhibitors (urocanate, imidazole, cysteine) which contain liganding groups at the γ or δ carbon atoms, suggesting coordination of imidazole by the enzyme-bound M n . Such coordination is established by the en­ hanced effect of the enzyme-bound M n on the relaxation rates of the protons of imidazole and of urocanate. Cysteine displaces imidazole and urocanate from their metal bridge complexes at a concentration con­ sistent with the inhibitor constants of these ligands determined kinetically. F r o m 1/Γ , the rate of dissociation of the product urocanate from the bridge complex is more than 600 times V (Table V ) , consistent with its role i n catalysis. The distances between the enzyme-bound M n and the protons of urocanate and imidazole (Figure 1) are consistent with direct coordination of N-3 of urocanate (imidazole) by the Μη (δ acti­ vation) or, alternatively, with the formation of a π complex between the imidazole ring and the bound Μη (γ and δ activation).

as suggested b y x-ray crystallographic studies of histidine and its Zn complex. A l l of the C - C and C - N bond lengths in the imidazole ring of histidine are shorter than single bonds, indicating a large amount of double bond character (>2Â% ). Coordination of Zn to histidine produces small increases in the lengths of all of the bonds of the imidazole ligands (0.01-0.03 Â ) , suggesting small decreases in the double bond character (42,43,44,45). Another role of the M n in histidine deaminase may be to mask the nucleophilic imidazole of the substrate to prevent its attacking the electrophilic center of the enzyme.
