Jencks, in his classic text, Catalysis in Chemistry and Enzymology, writes: – “It has been said that God created an organism especially adapted to help the biologist find an answer to every question about the physiology of living systems; 12 Jencks’ Statement, Cont’d – if this is so it must be concluded that pyridoxal phosphate was created to provide satisfaction and enlightenment to those enzymologists and chemists who enjoy pushing electrons, for no other coenzyme is involved in such a wide variety of reactions, in both enzyme and model systems, which can be reasonably interpreted in terms of the chemical properties of the coenzyme 13 Jencks’ Statement, Cont’d – Most of these reactions are made possible by a common structural feature – That is, electron withdrawal toward the cationic nitrogen atom of the imine and into the electron sink of the pyridoxal ring from the a carbon atom of the attached amino acid activates all three of the substituents on this carbon atom for reactions which require electron withdrawal from this atom”* *Jencks, William P., 1969.

Formation of sphingolipids 15 Transamination Reactions 16 • The term transamination refers to the interconversion of carbonyl and amino groups. Condensation of an amine with an aldehyde as shown below gives an imine. What is formally only a tautomerisation reaction converts imine A into its tautomer B which upon hydrolysis yields the "transaminated" products. i.e. the product in which the amine and the carbonyl group have been swapped.. 17 • This is a highly simplified view of the transamination reaction. • Firstly, aldehydes do not occur in biological systems due to their chemical instability. The biological equivalent of aldehydes are imines. 18 • Firstly, aldehydes do not occur in biological systems due to their chemical instability. The biological equivalent of aldehydes are imines. 19 • Secondly, imines are chemically stable towards this type of tautomerisation reaction. An enzyme is required to effect this transformation and the enzymes employs a co-factor (or prosthetic group).This cofactor is pyridoxal phosphate (PLP). 20 • PLP is attached to the enzyme forms an imine with a lysine residue. This link attaches the co-factor to the enzyme and converts the aldehyde into its biological equivalent, the imine. • The conversion of amino acids into a-keto acids (also sometimes referred to as a-oxoacids) is a central reaction of primary and secondary metabolism. 21 • In the first step of transamination reactions, pyridoxalphosphate in its biological form of imine is tranferred to the substrate amino acid. 22 23 • Then the PLP-dependent enzymes catalyses the tautomerisation of the imime. 24 • In the final step, hydrolysis of the imine gives the products. • Note, that pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) has been converted into pyridoxamine by the transamination reaction. A second transamination step is required to convert pyridoxamine back into PLP. This restores the co-factor and the enzyme can carry out another transamination reaction. 25 Mechanism of PLP-catalysed transaminations • The a-hydrogen of the imine is in conjugation with the protonated pyridinium nitrogen. The positively chareged nitrogen increases the aciditiy of the a-hydrogen and facilitates proton abstraction. The product is an extended conjugated system incorporating both an imine and an enamine. 26 27 • In the final step, protonation occurs at the d-carbon to the pyridine nitrogen, thus restoring the aromatic system. Hydrolysis of the imine gives the final products. 28 Decarboxylation and PLP • Decarboxylation reactions are important in biological systems because intermediates which are chemically disposed for decarboxylation, such as b-keto acids, occur frequently in primary and secondary metabolism. 29 • a-Keto acids are chemically not predisposed towards decarboxylation. This is reflected in much higher temperatures required to effect the above transformation. Nature uses enzymes for this reaction which carry PLP as co-factor. The schemes below shows the decarboxylation of an a-amino acid. 30 • The amino acid is bound to to PLP as the imine in the first step. 31 • In the actual decarboxylation step, the electronic effects are the same: the pyridine nitrogen acts as an electronwithdrawing group, this time facilitating deprotonation of the carboxylic acid group. Loss of carbondioxide and hydrolysis of the imine gives the reaction products. 32 Transamination Reactions a-Amino acid a-Keto acid a-Keto acid a-Amino acid 33 Transamination Reactions • Most common amino acids can be converted into the corresponding keto acid by transamination • This reaction swaps the amino group from one amino acid to a different keto acid, thereby generating a new pairing of amino acid and keto acid • There is no overall loss or gain of nitrogen from the system 34 Transamination Reactions, Cont’d • Transamination reactions are readily reversible, and the equilibrium constant is close to 1 • One of the two substrate pairs is usually Glu and its corresponding keto acid a-KG 35 Transamination Reactions, Cont’d • The effect of transamination reactions is to collect the amino groups from many different amino acids in the form of L-Glu • The Glu then functions as an amino group donor for biosynthetic pathways or for excretion pathways that lead to the elimination of nitrogenous waste products 36 Transamination Reactions, Cont’d • The substrates bind to the enzyme active center one at a time, and the function of the pyridoxal phosphate is to act as a temporary store of amino groups until the next substrate comes along • In the process the pyridoxal phosphate is converted into pyridoxamine phosphate, and then back again Enzymologists call this a ping pong mechanism 37 Transamination Reactions, Cont’d • The condensation between the a-amino group and the aromatic aldehyde to form a Schiff base makes the a-carbon atom chemically reactive, so the isomerization of the Schiff base takes place very easily • Many of the enyzmes that metabolize amino acids require PLP as a cofactor • Unexpectedly, this compound also serves in a completely different manner in the active center of glycogen phosphorylase 38 • Comparison of the active sites of Laspartate aminotransferase (left) and D-amino acid aminotransferase (right) 39 • The three-dimensional structures of bacterial D-amino acid aminotransferase (top) and human mitochondrial branchedchain L-amino acid aminotransferase (bottom) 40 Aspartate Transaminase (Aspartate Aminotransferase) 41 Aspartate Transaminase • Aspartate transaminase (AST) also called serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT/AAT) (EC 2.6.1.1) is similar to alanine transaminase (ALT) in that it is another enzyme associated with liver parenchymal cells • PLP coenzyme provides an aldehyde group to the enzyme, which is not available among the side chains of the 20 amino acids found in proteins 42 Aspartate Transaminase, Cont’d • The phosphate group provides a way to bind the coenzyme to the enzyme via a strong ionic interaction • The aldehyde group readily reacts with primary amines like the a-amino groups of amino acids • This process activates the amino group so that it can be cleaved by water 43 Aspartate Transaminase, Cont’d • This releases the keto-acid core of the amino acid and leaves the amino group on the enzyme • Now the acceptor keto-acid binds and reacts with the activated amino group to form the new amino acid 44 Aspartate Transaminase, Cont’d • The mitochondrial aspartate transaminase provides an especially well studied example of PLP as a coenzyme for the transamination reactions • The results of X-ray crystallographic studies provided detailed views of how PLP and substrates are bound and confirmed much of the proposed catalytic mechanism 45 Aspartate Transaminase, Cont’d • The enzyme is a dimer if identical subunits and it consists of a large domain and a small one • PLP is bound to the large domain, in a pocket near the subunit interface • In the absence of substrate, the aldehyde group of PLP is in a Schiff base linkage with Lys-258 • Arg-386 interacts with the a-carboxylate group of the substrate, helping to orient the substrate appropriately in the active site 46 Structure of Aspartate Transaminase • The active site of enzyme includes PLP attached to the enzyme by Schiff base linkage with Lys-258 • Arg-386 residue in the active site helps orient substrates by binding to their a-carboxylate groups 47 Structure of Aspartate Transaminase • Schematic diagram of the active site of E. coli aspartate aminotransferase • Substrate specificity for the negatively charged aspartic acid substrate is determined by the positively charged guanidino groups of Arg-386 and Arg-292, which have no catalytic role • Mutation of Arg-292 to Asp produces an enzyme that prefers Arg to Asp as a substrate 48 Stereochemistry of Aspartate Transaminase Reaction • PLP enzymes cleave one of three bonds at the Ca atom of amino acids • For example, bond a is cleaved by aminotransferase, bond b by dehydrogenase, and bond c by aldolase • How can the same amino acid-PLP Schiff base be involved in the cleavage of the different bonds to an amino acid Ca? 49 Stereochemistry of Aspartate Transaminase Reaction, Cont’d • For electrons to be withdrawn into the conjugated ring system of PLP, the p-orbital system of PLP must overlap with the bonding orbital containing the electron pair being delocalized • This is possible only if the bond being broken lies in the plane perpendicular to the plane of the PLP p-orbital system • Different bonds to Ca can be placed in this plane by rotation about the Ca-N bond 50 Stereochemistry of Aspartate Transaminase Reaction, Cont’d • Each enzyme specifically cleaves its corresponding bond because the enzyme binds the amino acid-PLP Schiff base adduct with this bond in the plane perpendicular to that of the PLP ring • This is an example of stereoelectronic assistance (effect) • The enzyme binds substrate in a conformation that minimizes the electronic energy of the transition state 51 Stereochemistry of Aspartate Transaminase Reaction, Cont’d • Bond orientation in a PLP–amino acid Schiff base • The p-orbital framework of a PLP–amino acid Schiff base • The bond to Ca in the plane perpendicular to the PLP p-orbital system 52 Stereochemistry of Aspartate Transaminase Reaction, Cont’d • In PLP-dependent transaminase’s active site, the addition of H+ from Lys residue to the bottom face of the quinoid intermediate determines the Lconfiguration of the amino acid product • The conserved Arg residue interacts with the acarboxylate group and helps establish the appropriate geometry of the quinonid intermediate 53 Mechanism of L-Configuration of Amino Acids Produced B BH H H R O P b ba R CO2 C C H NH O HO For determination of stereochemistry of amino acid formed O ..
