OverviewOverview
Delta(5)-3-Ketosteroid isomerase catalyzes cleavage and formation of a C-H, bond at a diffusion-controlled limit. By determining the crystal, structures of the enzyme in complex with each of three different, inhibitors and by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic, investigation, we evidenced the ionization of a hydroxyl group (pK(a), approximately 16.5) of an inhibitor, which forms a low barrier hydrogen, bond (LBHB) with a catalytic residue Tyr(14) (pK(a) approximately 11.5), and the protonation of the catalytic residue Asp(38) with pK(a) of, approximately 4.5 at pH 6.7 in the interaction with a carboxylate group of, an inhibitor. The perturbation of the pK(a) values in both cases arises, from the formation of favorable interactions between inhibitors and, catalytic residues. The results indicate that the pK(a) difference between, catalytic residue and substrate can be significantly reduced in the active, site environment as a result of the formation of energetically favorable, interactions during the course of enzyme reactions. The reduction in the, pK(a) difference should facilitate the abstraction of a proton and thereby, eliminate a large fraction of activation energy in general acid/base, enzyme reactions. The pK(a) perturbation provides a mechanistic ground for, the fast reactivity of many enzymes and for the understanding of how some, enzymes are able to extract a proton from a C-H group with a pK(a) value, as high as approximately 30.
