The deuterium solvent isotope effect on hydrolysis of acetylamino acids catalyzed by porcine kidney aminoacylase I (EC 3.5.1.14) was studied. With Ac-L-Met, a 'standard' aminoacylase substrate, the effect was normal at low pH (kcat(D)/kcat(H) = 0.7 at pH 6), virtually absent at neutrality, and distinctly inverse (kcat(D)/kcat(H) = 1.4) at pH 9. Km was not significantly affected. The rates of Ac-L-Phe hydrolysis in D2O considerably exceeded those in H2O at any pH between 6.5 and 9. We explain this unusual effect of D2O on aminoacylase I catalysis by an inverse equilibrium effect partially cancelling or, at high pH, reversing a normal isotope effect on kcat.
研究了氘代溶剂同位素效应对猪肾氨基酰化酶I(EC 3.5.1.14)催化的乙酰氨基酸水解的影响。对于“标准”氨基酰化酶底物Ac-L-Met,该效应在低pH时正常(pH 6时kcat(D)/kcat(H)=0.7),在中性时几乎不存在,而在pH 9时明显呈反向(kcat(D)/kcat(H)=1.4)。Km没有受到显著影响。在6.5至9之间的任何pH值下,D2O中Ac-L-Phe的水解速率都大大超过H2O中的水解速率。我们通过部分抵消或在高pH时逆转对kcat的正常同位素效应的反向平衡效应来解释D2O对氨基酰化酶I催化的这种异常效应。
