The flavoenzyme pig kidney general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.3) is inactivated by cyclohexane-1,2-dione in borate buffer in a reaction that exhibits pseudo-first-order kinetics. Strong protection is afforded by the substrate octanoyl-CoA, as well as by heptadecyl-CoA, a potent competitive inhibitor of the dehydrogenase that does not reduce enzyme flavin. Enzyme exhibiting 10% residual activity in borate buffer contains about 1.3 modified arginine residues per flavin molecule. Very little reduction of the modified enzyme in borate buffer occurs at high concentrations of octanoyl-CoA, in marked contrast with the stoicheiometric reduction of the native enzyme. However, in phosphate buffer alone, the modified enzyme exhibits 55% residual activity and, although binding of substrate is still seriously impaired (apparent Kd=14 microM), excess substrate effects the formation of the characteristic reduced flavin X enoyl-CoA charge-transfer complex. These results suggest that the susceptible arginine residue, though not catalytically essential, is probably within the acyl-CoA-binding site of general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

Pig kidney general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is irreversibly inactivated by methylenecyclopropylacetyl-CoA, a metabolite of the hypoglycemic amino acid hypoglycin from Blighia sapida, to less that 2% of native activity. Octanoyl-CoA affords strong protection against this inhibition. During inactivation, about 80% of the enzyme FAD is covalently and irreversibly modified with the residual inhibition possibly resulting from modification of the protein. Denaturation of the inactivated enzyme yields several modified flavin derivatives in addition to about 20% unmodified FAD. From spectral comparison, the structure of one of these species is tentatively assigned to a derivative of 4a,5-dihydroflavin, while two further products resemble 6-, and 8-substituted flavins. These results suggest that methylenecyclopropylacetyl-CoA (and consequently the methylenecyclopropylmethano moiety of hypoglycin) be considered "suicide" substrates.

The interaction of two long-chain acyl-CoA analogs with pig kidney general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99,3) was examined. The effect of S-heptadecyl-CoA and heptadecan-2-onyl-dethio-CoA on the flavo-protein was observed spectrophotometrically using the flavin as an active-site probe. The S-heptadecyl thioether analog bound strongly to the enzyme (Kd = 17 nM) and was a powerful competitive inhibitor (Ki less than 40 nM). In contrast to the thioether analog, the dethiocarba derivative, heptadecan-2-onyl-dethio-CoA, was a substrate inthe standard assay system being dehydrogenated at about 60% of the rate shown by palmitoyl-CoA. These results support the proposal that alpha-carbanion formation is an early event in the dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA substrates.

Pig kidney general acyl-CoA dehydrogenases forms the blue neutral radical on dithionite or photochemical reduction (Thorpe, C., Matthews, R. G., & Williams, C. H. (1979) Biochemistry 18, 331-337] in accord with its classification as a flavoprotein dehydrogenase. However, dithionite reduction of the enzyme in the presence of crotonyl coenzyme A (crotonyl-CoA) or octenoyl-CoA generates the red radical anion as the predominant species at pH 7.6. Crotonyl-CoA binds preferentially to the red radical form, depressing the apparent pK by at least 2.5 pH units to a value of 7.3. Butyryl-, octanoyl-, and palmitoyl-CoA induce very similar spectral changes to those induced by enoyl-CoA derivatives when added anaerobically to the blue semiquinone enzyme. In contrast, the competitive inhibitors acetoacetyl-CoA and heptadecyl-SCoA do not markedly perturb the spectrum of the neutral flavosemiquinone species. The stability of the enzyme radical complexes with either crotonyl- or octanoyl-CoA suggests that there is not effective intraflavin transfer of reducing equivalents between subunits. Perturbation of the spectrum of the one-electron-reduced enzyme by ligands may complicate interpretation of the reaction enzyme by ligands may complicate interpretation of the reaction between substrate complexes of the general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and electron-transferring flavoprotein.

It has previously been shown that the "partial" reaction between fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and acyl-CoA substrate is pH-dependent (larger rate constants at basic pH) and shows a biphasic rate profile indicative of formation of an initial charge transfer complex between the C-2 anion of substrate and enzyme. The present investigation indicates that the complete reaction between acyl-CoA and electron transfer flavoprotein shows a pH profile dependent upon ionization of a single basic group with pKa = 7.7. these facts are consistent with electron transfer which occurs through an obligatory charge transfer complex between the C-2 anion of substrate and oxidized FAD at the enzyme active site. The anion of acetoacetyl-CoA forms a charge transfer complex with enzyme which serves as a model for the putative catalytically active complex mentioned above. Resonance Raman investigation of this acetoacetyl-CoA-enzyme complex indicates that the 1586 cm-1 band is coupled strongly to the charge transfer electronic transition. Since this vibrational band is associated with vC=N at N-5, C-4a of the flavin ring, we suggest that electron transfer takes place at this site.

Three acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and electron transfer flavoprotein, which catalyze the initial step of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation, were purified from livers of rats fed a diet containing di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate. Three acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, classified into short chain, general, and long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases on the basis of their substrate specificities, each consisted of four subunits of identical size: the molecular weights of the native enzymes were 169,000 for short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, 182,000 for general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and 168,000 for long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. Electron transfer flavoprotein with a molecular weight of 57,000 consisted of heterogeneous subunits with molecular weight of 33,500 and 25,100. The catalytic properties and molecular structures of rat liver acyl-CoA dehydrogenases were similar to those of the enzymes purified from other mammalian tissues such as pig heart, pig liver, and beef kidney. We could not obtain purified preparations of the three acyl-CoA dehydrogenases from livers of the control rats although the three dehydrogenases were completely separated from each other. The enzymes from the control and the di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate-treated rats were compared and no differences were found in molecular sizes of the native enzymes and of their subunits, substrate specificities and immunochemical reactivities.

When amino acids were infused at a rate of 4 g/kg/day, an infant with hypoglycemia, metabolic acidemia and chronic regurgitation showed hypersarcosinemia and excreted abnormal amounts of sarcosine, isovalerylglycine, isobutyrylglycine, alpha-methylbutyrylglycine, and beta-hydroxyisovaleric, glutaric, alpha-hydroxyglutaric, methylsuccinic, and alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acids in urine. On all other occasions, when protein intake was lower and lipid intake higher, urine organic acids were dominated by methylsuccinic, ethylmalonic, and alpha-hydroxyglutaric acids, and hypersarcosinemia was absent. Autopsy showed severe fatty changes in liver, kidneys, and skeletal muscle. A previous female sibling had died with similar autopsy findings at 4 days of age. While activity of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase was completely deficient in liver and almost completely so in kidney, it was normal in cultured fibroblasts in the presence of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and only marginally low in its absence. Incorporation of D-(2-14C) riboflavin into flavin mononucleotides (FMN) and FAD by kidney tissue was normal. The authors conclude that this disorder is not due to generalized deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase or to a defect in FAD synthesis. The amino and organic acid abnormalities noted are most consistent with a defect in the flavoprotein which transfers electrons from the FAD of sarcosine and acyl-CoA dehydrogenases into the respiratory chain, although a defect in intercompartmental transfer of C4--5 acyl CoA esters across cell membranes is not excluded. The variability of the organic aciduria, which possibly reflects changes in protein and fat intake, suggests that a previous name for this disorder, i.e., glutaric aciduria type II, is inappropriate and should be replaced, perhaps by "multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency."

Five urine samples were collected in clinically quiet periods over a period of one year from a patient suffering from D-glyceric acidemia, and investigated for presence or absence of glycine-conjugates. The findings of isovalerylglycine, 2-methylbutyrylglycine, isobutyrylglycine, and tiglylglycine are interpreted as indications of intracelluar accumulations of isovaleryl-CoA, 2-methylbutyryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA. Similarly, the findings of elevated amounts of butyric acid and hexanoic acid together with butyrylglycine, hexanoylglycine, and suberic acid suggest intracellular accumulations of straight-chain acyl-CoA's. It is therefore suggested that this child has a common derangement in his acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (in addition to his primary defect). As possible secondary consequences of this, two points can be mentioned: firstly hyperglycinemia, from which the patient suffered, and secondly, diminished tendency to ketosis, a condition from which the child never suffered, not even in connection with severe intercurrent disease.

Reduction of the oxidized FAD at the active site of porcine liver fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase by butyryl-CoA results in bleaching of 30 to 60% of the 450 nm absorbance of flavin and in the production of a new absorbance band at 565 nm. The wavelength of the maximum absorbance of this new band (lambda max) is dependent on the chemical nature of the substrate, e.g. this band occurs at 645 nm when beta-2-furylpropionyl-CoA (a pseudosubstrate) reacts with enzyme. Since lambda max for this band is substrate-dependent, the band is most likely the result of charge transfer complex formation between oxidized fatty acyl-CoA, and the reduced flavin of the enzyme. The rate profile for the reaction of butyryl-CoA and enzyme is biphasic at 450 nm but consists of a single exponential process at 565 nm. The rate constant for reaction at 565 nm is approximately 12 s-1 ((butyryl-CoA) = 2.5 x 10(-5) M, pH 8.6), and the 450 nm rate profile can be fit to a rate equation for two sequential reactions of rate constant 12 s-1 and 3.4 s-1, the amount of flavin reduction in each kinetic step being approximately 50%. The deuterium isotope effect measured on each step of the biphasic time course of the 450 nm reaction is very large, in the range kH/kD = 30 to 50. The rate profile at 565 nm for perdeuterobutyryl-CoA is markedly different than that for the protiobutyryl-CoA in that it is biphasic. It appears that two rate processes have been separated by virtue of different isotope effects; the first process shows kH/kD = 2 while the second shows kH/kD = 50. The data are interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving an obligatory charge transfer complex.

Aspects of the binding and dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA thiol esters by the general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase from pig liver were investigated using a dead-end inhibitor, S-octyl-CoA, several alternate substrates, and three active site-directed inhibitors. Experiments with S-octyl-CoA indicate that the carbonyl group of acyl-CoA thiol esters is not absolutely required for binding to the enzyme. However, the mode of binding of the 8-carbon thiol ether can be distinguished from the mode of binding of the enoyl-CoA product, octenoyl-CoA. Octanoyl pantetheine, octanoyl-etheno-CoA, and octanoyl-3'-dephospho-CoA are alternate substrates of the dehydrogenase. Steady state kinetic constants obtained with these alternate substrates indicate that the adenosine 5'-diphosphate, but not the 3'-phosphate, of the nucleotide moiety of acyl-CoA substrates contribute to the tight binding of the substrates. The substrate analogs 3'-butynoyl-CoA and 3-octynoyl-CoA are active site-directed, mechanism-based irreversible inhibitors of the dehydrogenase. These inhibitors covalently modify the apoprotein rather than the flavin. This finding and the fact that 2,3-octadienoyl-CoA also completely and irreversibly inhibits the enzyme indicate that th 3-acetylenic thiol esters inhibit the enzyme by a mechanism involving: (1) base-catalyzed abstraction of a protein at C-2 followed by isomerization to the allene carbanion, (2) protonation of the carbanion, and (3) attack of a nucleophile in the enzyme-active site on C-3 of the 2,3-dienoyl-CoA. The data show that the alkynoyl-CoA's are activated and bound at the active site of the enzyme. The results suggest that abstraction of a proton at C-2 of acyl-CoA substrates is the initial step in the catalytic pathway of dehydrogenation of substrates by the enzyme.
