4'-Phosphopantothenoyl-L-cysteine decarboxylase (PPC decarboxylase) was partially purified from rat liver. 4'-Phosphopantothenoyl[2-2H1]-L-cysteine was synthesized and converted by PPC decarboxylase to 4'-phosphol[1-2H1]pantetheine. The product was degraded by reduction with Raney nickel followed by acidic hydrolysis to [1-2H1]ethylamine. The latter was converted to the (-)-camphanamide derivative, NMR studies of which revealed that the deuterium was located in the pro-1S position. Also, unlabeled 4'-phosphopantothenoyl-L-cysteine was incubated with PPC decarboxylase in D2O, giving, after degradation, the (-)-camphanamide of (1R)-[1-2H1]ethylamine. The results show that the decarboxylation takes place with retention of configuration. These results are discussed in terms of possible mechanisms for the decarboxylation.
4'-磷酸泛酰-L-半胱氨酸脱羧酶(PPC脱羧酶)从大鼠肝脏中部分纯化出来。合成了4'-磷酸泛酰[2-²H₁]-L-半胱氨酸,并通过PPC脱羧酶将其转化为4'-磷酸[1-²H₁]泛酰巯基乙胺。产物经雷尼镍还原后再进行酸性水解,降解为[1-²H₁]乙胺。后者转化为(-)-樟脑酰胺衍生物,对其进行核磁共振研究表明氘位于前-1S位置。此外,将未标记的4'-磷酸泛酰-L-半胱氨酸与PPC脱羧酶在重水中孵育,降解后得到(1R)-[1-²H₁]乙胺的(-)-樟脑酰胺。结果表明脱羧反应发生时构型保持不变。根据脱羧反应可能的机制对这些结果进行了讨论。
