The enzyme-induced or 'suicide' step by which the substrate analogue ethanolamine O-sulphate inactivates 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase occurs at a rate that is one-tenth that observed for the release of the products of beta-elimination, namely ammonia, acetaldehyde and sulphate. An additional reversible reaction not leading to inactivation can be detected spectrally and this decreases the rates of both beta-elimination and inactivation. This reaction is ascribed to a step on the normal transamination path, although complete transamination does not occur significantly. The 14C moiety of radiolabelled ethanolamine O-sulphate is stably bound to the inactive enzyme in the proportion of 1 mol/mol of active site. The 35S-labelled sulphate moiety is not bound after inactivation, showing that beta-elimination must precede inactivation.
底物类似物乙醇胺 O-硫酸盐使 4-氨基丁酸转氨酶失活的酶促或“自杀”步骤,其发生速率是β-消除产物(即氨、乙醛和硫酸盐)释放速率的十分之一。可以通过光谱检测到一个不会导致失活的额外可逆反应,这降低了β-消除和失活的速率。尽管没有明显发生完全转氨作用,但该反应被归因于正常转氨途径上的一个步骤。放射性标记的乙醇胺 O-硫酸盐的 14C 部分以每摩尔活性位点 1 摩尔的比例稳定地结合到失活的酶上。失活后,35S 标记的硫酸盐部分未结合,表明β-消除必须先于失活发生。
