The 19F NMR spectra of the oxidized and reduced forms of 8-fluororiboflavin, 8-fluoro-FAD, and the 8-fluoroflavin-reconstituted flavoproteins flavodoxin, riboflavin binding protein, D-amino acid oxidase, p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase, Old Yellow Enzyme, anthranilate hydroxylase, general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, glucose oxidase, and L-lactate oxidase were measured. For the proteins studied the oxidized resonances appeared over a 10.1-ppm range, while the reduced resonances were spread over 10.3 ppm. Reduction caused an upfield shift of about 27 ppm for the free 8-fluoroflavins and most of the 8-fluoro flavoproteins. The notable exception was 8-fluoro-FMN flavodoxin, which was shifted 37.6 ppm, indicating an unusually high electron density in the benzene ring. Ligand binding to the oxidized 8-fluoro flavoproteins caused either upfield or downfield shifts of 1.5-5 ppm, depending on the protein/ligand combination. The 8-fluoro-FAD anthranilate hydroxylase resonance was shifted downfield and split into two peaks in the presence of anthranilate. The 8-fluoro-FMN Old Yellow Enzyme resonance was shifted upfield upon complexation with charge-transfer-forming, para-substituted phenolates. The upfield shift increased from less than 1 to 5 ppm as the electron-donating capacity of the phenolate increased. Complexation of native Old Yellow Enzyme with 2,4-difluorophenol caused the fluorine resonances of the ligand to shift and split into two pairs of signals. Each pair of signals was associated with a different isozyme of Old Yellow Enzyme.

The mechanisms of the initial interactions of three rat liver acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (short-chain, medium-chain, and long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases) and their fatty acyl-CoA substrate were studied using enzyme-catalyzed deuterium exchange. The reaction products were identified and quantitated using mass spectroscopy and 1H-NMR. When fatty acyl-CoA substrates were incubated with catalytic amounts of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase in D2O in the absence of an electron acceptor, a rapid monodeuteration of the substrate occurred to replace one of the prochiral C-2 hydrogens, while no C-3 hydrogens were exchanged with deuterium. The C-2 monodeuteration proceeded to the extent of 80% of the total amount of substrate added at 90 min and almost to completion at 120 min. The pKa values and optimum pD values for the C-2 proton/deuteron exchange reactions were 6.0 and 7.5, respectively, for each of the three acyl-CoA dehydrogenases. The apparent turnover numbers were 3.0, 3.3, and 0.5 s-1 for short-chain, medium-chain, and long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, respectively. These results provide the first direct evidence for carbanion formation via abstraction of a C-2 hydrogen by a base in the enzyme, as the first step of the catalytic pathway of acyl-CoA dehydrogenation. When the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases were reacted with moderate excesses of acyl-CoA substrates in D2O in the absence of an electron acceptor, maximum bleaching of the FAD absorbance and the appearance of the long wavelength absorbance, attributed to a charge transfer complex, were observed. However, the dehydrogenation products, 2-enoyl-CoAs, were produced either not at all or in an amount which represented only a minor fraction of the amount of the enzyme added, while the substrates in the enzyme-substrate complexes rapidly turned over as indicated by the extensive monodeuteration which concomitantly occurred. Unlike previous hypothesis, these results indicate that the hydride ion transfer from C-3 of the substrate to the enzyme-FAD is not yet complete in the charge-transfer complex. The transfer of the hydride ion to alloxazine N-5 and the release of products are completed only in the presence of electron-transfer flavoprotein or another suitable electron acceptor.

Butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase from Megasphera elsdenii catalyzes the exchange of the alpha- and beta-hydrogens of substrate with solvent [Gomes, B., Fendrich, G., & Abeles, R. H. (1981) Biochemistry 20, 1481-1490]. The stoichiometry of this exchange was determined by using 3H2O label as 1.94 +/- 0.1 per substrate molecule. The rate of 3H label incorporation into substrate under anaerobic conditions is monophasic, indicating that both the alpha- and beta-hydrogens exchange at the same rate. The exchange in 2H2O leads to incorporation of one 2H each into the alpha- and the beta-positions of butyryl-CoA, as determined by companion 1H NMR experiments and confirmed by mass spectroscopic analysis. In contrast, with general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase from pig kidney, only exchange of the alpha-hydrogen was found. The beta-hydrogen is the one that is transferred (reversibly) to the flavin 5-position during substrate dehydrogenation. This was demonstrated by reacting 5-3H- and 5-2H-reduced 5-deaza-FAD-general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase with crotonyl-CoA. Only one face of the reduced flavin analogue is capable of transferring hydrogen to substrate. The rate of this reaction is 11.1 s-1 for 5-deaza-FAD-enzyme and 2.2 s-1 for [5-2H]deaza-FAD-enzyme, yielding an isotope effect of 5. These values compare with a rate of 2.6 s-1 for the reaction of native reduced enzyme with crotonyl-CoA. The two reduced enzymes (normal vs. 5-deaza-FAD-enzyme) thus react at similar rates, indicating a similar mechanism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The 13C- and 15N-NMR spectra of porcine kidney medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) reconstituted with 13C- and 15N-enriched FADs were measured. The positions of selective enrichment were C(2), C(4), C(4 alpha), C(10 alpha), N(1), N(3), and N(5) of the isoalloxazine nucleus of FAD. The NMR signals of the labeled atoms were observed as broad but distinct peaks in each NMR spectrum. The chemical shift values of the 2-, 4-, 4 alpha-, and 10 alpha-13C for the oxidized form of MCAD were 159.5, 166.8, 141.1, and 155.5 ppm, respectively, relative to the methyl resonance of 3-(trimethylsilyl)propionic acid-d4, while those of 1-, 3-, and 5-15N for the oxidized form were 183.6, 161.1, and 334.7 ppm, relative to liquid ammonia, respectively. The upfield shift of 2-13C of MCAD relative to that of FMN in the aqueous medium and its downfield shift relative to that of tetraacetylriboflavin in an apolar medium imply that a weaker hydrogen bond exists between C(2) = O and apoMCAD or a water molecule than that of free FMN with a water molecule. That the 4-13C resonance was observed downfield-shifted relative to that of free FMN in aqueous solution suggests a strong hydrogen bond between C(4) = O and apoMCAD. The chemical shift for 4 alpha-13C in oxidized MCAD is considerably downfield-shifted from that of FMN or any other flavoprotein observed thus far, indicating a unique environment around this position in MCAD. The 1-15N resonance of MCAD was most upfield-shifted among the flavoproteins observed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The change-transfer interaction in the complex of pig kidney medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) with acetoacetyl-CoA was investigated by 13C-NMR spectroscopy and molecular orbital treatment. The acyl carbons of acetoacetyl-CoA were separately 13C-labeled and 13C-NMR spectra of the complexes of MCAD with the 13C-labeled acetoacetyl-CoA were measured. Each 13C-carbon atom was observed as a distinct peak and easily distinguished from the protein background. The chemical shift values for free acetoacetyl-CoA were 198.5, 59.9, 208.8, and 32.8 ppm for C(1), C(2), C(3), and C(4), respectively, which shifted to 181.3, 103.4, 192.3, and 29.9 ppm, respectively, when acetoacetyl-CoA was complexed with MCAD. While C(4) underwent a small upfield shift, the other carbons complexed with MCAD. While C(4) underwent a small upfield shift, the other carbons experienced significant shifts; both the C(1) and C(3) carbonyl carbons shifted upfield by about 17 ppm, and the C(2) carbon was observed as a very broad peak at a position shifted downfield by more than 40 ppm. These results were compared with 13C-NMR spectra of the keto-, enol-, and enolate forms of ethyl acetoacetate labeled with 13C at the acyl carbons, and interpreted with reference to the charge-transfer model based on the optimum overlap between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of flavin and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the enolate state of the acetoacetyl moiety of acetoacetyl-CoA. The C(2) carbon of acetoacetyl-CoA takes on the sp2 configuration in the bound form, indicating that one of the protons at C(2) of acetoacetyl-CoA is abstracted when bound to MCAD. C(1) = O is substantially polarized in the bound form of acetoacetyl-CoA, implying the presence of a machinery that polarizes this carbonyl group at the binding site, which thereby lowers the pKa value of the alpha-proton at C(2). This machinery is of fundamental importance in the initial step of MCAD catalysis.

Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the hydrogen bonding at the C(4)=O moiety of the isoalloxazine nucleus in a series of flavins and flavoproteins. Isotope effects of Raman bands confirmed that the band observed around 1,710 cm(-1) is mainly derived from C(4)=O stretching vibrational mode. A linear correlation was observed between the frequency of C(4)=O stretching and the chemical shift of 13C(4), suggesting that the data from both Raman and NMR spectroscopies reflect a common perturbation, i.e., hydrogen bonding. The maximum difference of C(4)=O frequency among flavins and flavoproteins examined is 36 cm(-1) [1,723 cm(-1) for riboflavin-binding protein (Kim, M. and Carey, P.C. (1993) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 115, 7015-7016) and 1,687 cm(-1) for the complex of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase with acetoacetyl-CoA]; the maximum difference of 40-70 kJ/mol in the hydrogen bonding strength at the C(4)=O exists among flavoproteins. By use of an empirical linear correlation between the frequency of C=O stretching and the bond length of the C=O, it is estimated that the maximum difference in the bond length among flavoproteins treated here is ca. 0.017 A. The hydrogen bonding at the C(4)=O in medium-chain and short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases becomes stronger upon complexation with substrate analogs. Since the hydrogen bonding at the C(4)=O is expected to enhance the electron-accepting capacity of the N(5) position, substrate-binding itself probably raises the reactivity of flavin, through enhancing the hydrogen bonding.

Mature medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase isolated from pig kidney (pkMCADH) and originating from mitochondria carries a phosphate group as demonstrated by 31P-NMR-spectroscopy and chemical analysis. Two broad resonances at -6.3 and -8 ppm are observed and are assigned to the pyrophosphate group of the cofactor FAD. A third, narrow resonance at 4.65 ppm indicates the presence of a phosphomonoester residue. Chemical analysis of intact pkMCADH shows the presence of 3 +/- 0.3 phosphates, those of FAD and of an additional covalently attached phosphate. With recombinant, human wild type MCADH expressed in and purified from E. coli only the two FAD phosphates (2 +/- 0.35) are found. Similarly, pkMCADH which has been converted to the apoenzyme and reconstituted to holoenzyme also contains 2 +/- 0.4 phosphates. The covalently bound phosphate can be hydrolyzed by phosphatase and subsequently removed by dialysis. The phosphate group has no detectable effect on the catalytic activity of the MCADH measured with artificial and natural electron acceptors such as pig electron transferring flavoprotein. However, phosphorylation has a marked effect on protein solubility which is +5-fold lower for the dephosphorylated protein.

Proton NMR spectra of urine from subjects with multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, caused by defects in either the electron transport flavoprotein or electron transport flavoprotein ubiquinone oxidoreductase, provide a characteristic and possibly diagnostic metabolite profile. The detection of dimethylglycine and sarcosine, intermediates in the oxidative degradation of choline, should discriminate between multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency and related disorders involving fatty acid oxidation. The excretion rates of betaine, dimethylglycine (and sarcosine) in these subjects give an estimate of the minimum rates of both choline oxidation and methyl group release from betaine and reveal that the latter is comparable with the calculated total body methyl requirement in the human infant even when choline intake is very low. Our results provide a new insight into the rates of in vivo methylation in early human development.

The mechanism underlying the recognition and activation of the substrate for medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) was spectroscopically investigated using 3-thiaacyl-CoAs as substrate analogs. The complex of MCAD with 3-thiaoctanoyl-CoA (3-thia-C8-CoA) exhibited a charge-transfer (CT) band with a molar extinction coefficient of epsilon808 = 9.1 mM-1.cm-1. With increasing 3-thiaacyl-chain length, the CT-band intensity of the complex decreased concomitantly with changes in the FAD absorption at 416 and 482 nm, and no CT band was detected in complexes with chain-lengths longer than C15. Detailed analysis of the absorption spectra suggested that the complexed states represent a two-state equilibrium between the CT-inducing form and the CT-non-inducing form. 13C-NMR measurements with 13C-labeled ligand clarified that 3-thia-C8-CoA is complexed to MCAD in an anionic form with signals detected at 163.7 and 101.2 ppm for 13C(1) and 13C(2), respectively. In the MCAD complex with 13C(1)-labeled 3-thia-C12-CoA, two signals for the bound ligand were observed at 163.7 and 198.3 ppm, and assigned to the anionic and neutral forms, respectively. Only the neutral form signal was measured at 200.6 ppm in the complex with 13C(1)-labeled 3-thia-C17-CoA. These results indicate that the CT band can be explained in terms of an internal equilibrium between anionic (CT-inducing) and neutral (CT-non-inducing) forms of the bound ligand. Resonance Raman spectra of the MCAD.3-thia-C8-CoA complex, with excitation at the CT band, showed enhanced bands, among which the 854- and 1,368-cm-1 bands were assigned to the S-C(2) stretching mode of the ligand and to flavin band VII, respectively. Since the enhanced bands were observed at the same wave numbers in complexes with C8, C12, and C14-ligands, it appears that the CT-inducing form shares a common alignment relative to oxidized flavin irrespective of differences in the acyl-chain length. However, with longer ligands, the degree of resonance enhancement of the Raman bands decreased in parallel with the CT-band intensity; this is compatible with the increase in the CT-non-inducing form in complexes with longer ligands. Furthermore, the pH dependence of the CT band gave an apparent pKa = 5.6-5.7 for ligands with chain-lengths of C8-C12. The NMR measurements revealed that, like chain-length dependence, the pH dependence can be explained by a two-state equilibrium derived from the protonation/deprotonation of the CT-inducing form of the bound ligand. On the basis of these results we have established a novel model to explain the mechanism of recognition and activation of the substrates/ligands by MCAD.

The cloning, using a PCR approach, of genes from both Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces avermitilis encoding an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (AcdH), putatively involved in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids, is reported. The deduced amino acid sequences of both genes have a high similarity to prokaryotic and eukaryotic short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases. When the S. coelicolor and S. avermitilis acyl-CoA dehydrogenase genes (acdH) were expressed in Escherichia coli, each of the AcdH flavoproteins was able to oxidize the branched-chain acyl-CoA derivatives isobutyryl-CoA, isovaleryl-CoA and cyclohexylcarbonyl-CoA, as well as the short straight-chain acyl-CoAs n-butyryl-CoA and n-valeryl-CoA in vitro. NMR spectral data confirmed that the oxidized product of isobutyryl-CoA is methacrylyl-CoA, which is the expected product at the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase step in the catabolism of valine in streptomycetes. Disruption of the S. avermitilis acdH produced a mutant unable to grow on solid minimal medium containing valine, isoleucine or leucine as sole carbon sources. Feeding studies with 13C triple-labelled isobutyrate revealed a significant decrease in the incorporation of label into the methylmalonyl-CoA-derived positions of avermectin in the acdH mutant. In contrast the mutation did not affect incorporation into the malonyl-CoA-derived positions of avermectin. These results are consistent with the acdH gene encoding an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase with a broad substrate specificity that has a role in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids in S. coelicolor and S. avermitilis.
