Inactivation of five distinct acyl-CoA dehydrogenases by (methylenecyclopropyl)acetyl-CoA (MCPA-CoA), the toxic metabolite of hypoglycin from unripe ackee fruit, was investigated using purified enzyme preparations. Short-chain acyl-CoA (SCADH), medium-chain acyl-CoA (MCADH) and isovaleryl-CoA (IVDH) dehydrogenases were severely and irreversibly inactivated by MCPA-CoA, while 2-methyl-branched chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (2-meBCADH) was only slowly and mildly inactivated. Long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCADH) was not significantly inactivated, even after prolonged incubation with MCPA-CoA. Inactivation of SCADH, MCADH and IVDH was effectively prevented by the addition of substrate. This mode of inactivation by MCPA-CoA explains the urinary metabolite profile in hypoglycin treated-rats, which includes large amounts of metabolites from fatty acids and leucine, and relatively small amounts of those from valine and isoleucine. Spectrophotometric titration of SCADH and MCADH with MCPA-CoA, together with the protective effects of substrate, indicates that MCPA-CoA is acted upon by, and exerts in turn irreversible inactivation of, SCADH and MCADH, confirming that MCPA-CoA is a suicide inhibitor (Wenz et al. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 9809-9812). Spectrophotometric titration data of LCADH and MCPA-CoA is typical of non-reacting CoA ester.

3,4-Pentadienoyl-CoA, an allenic substrate analog, is a potent inhibitor of the flavoprotein pig-kidney general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. The analog reacts very rapidly (k = 2.4 X 10(3) min-1) with the native oxidized enzyme to form a covalent flavin adduct probably involving the isoalloxazine position N-5. This species is inactive, but activity may be regained by two pathways. The allenic thioester can be displaced (k = 0.3 min-1) by a large excess of octanoyl-CoA substrate upon reversal of covalent adduct formation. Alternatively, the enzyme inactivator adduct slowly decomposes (t1/2 = 75 min) to form the strongly thermodynamically favoured 2,4-diene and catalytically active, oxidized enzyme. During this latter process 15-20% of the activity is irreversibly lost probably due to covalent modification of the protein. These data suggest that 3,4-pentadienoyl-CoA should be considered a suicide substrate of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. The mechanism of the reactions, and in particular the 3,4----2,4 tautomerization, are consistent with a catalytic sequence initiated by abstraction of an alpha-hydrogen as a proton.
