Comments
The catalytic mechanism of this enzyme involves Schiff-base formation by Lys170 with the substrate. This enzyme catalyzes three successive reactions;
(A) Schiff-base formation (elimination of hydroxyl group),
(B) elimination of hydroxyl group,
(C) Schiff-base deformation (water addition or hydration).
These reactions proceeds in the following way.
(A) The Schiff-base forming reaction is actually composed of addition reaction and elimination reaction. The Schiff-base forming reaction proceeds as follows (see [2], [7], [8] & [9]):
(A1) Lys170 makes a nucleophilic attack on the C3 carbonyl carbon, forming a tetrahedral intermediate.
(A2) A proton atom on the amine of Lys170 moves to the oxygen on the tetrahedral intermediate, forming a hydroxyl group. (Lys170 plays a dual role as nucleophile-acid.)
(A3) The lone pair on the nitrogen atom of Lys170 attacks on the C3 carbon atom. The hydroxyl group is protonated by the second general acid, leading to the elimination of a water and the Schiff-base formation. According to the literature [7], His143 acts as the second general acid.
(B) The hydroxyl elimination reaction proceeds as follows (see [2], [8] & [9]):
(B1) The first general base abstracts a proton from the C2 carbon atom, forming a carbanion intermediate. This intermediate is a tautomer between the two forms. One is the Schiff-base form, and another has a double-bond between the C2 and C3 carbons with an amine group at Lys170. (According to the literature [9], His143 acts as the base.)
(B2) The lone pair of the amine at the latter intermediate attacks on the C2 carbon, leading to the formation of a double-bond between the C1 and C2 atoms and the elimination of the hydroxyl group at the C1. This elimination is assisted by the protonation to the hydroxyl group by the general acid. According to the literature [2] & [7], His143 acts as the general acid.
(C) The Schiff-base deforming reaction is also composed of addition reaction and elimination reaction. The Shciff-base deforming reaction proceeds as follows (see [2], [7], [8] & [9]):
(C1) The first general base activates a water molecule, by abstracting a proton from the water. This activated water makes a nucleophilic attack on the Schiff-base carbon, to form a tetrahedral intermediate, again.
(C2) The amine group of Lys170 deprotonates the hydroxyl group, forming an oxygen anion. This anion makes an attack on the C2 atom, leading to the formation of the carbonyl group and the release of Lys170 from the C2 atom.
According to the literature [9], Glu86 plays an important role in orienting His143 in proper positions.
