The enantiomers of erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine [(+)- and (-)-EHNA) bound to adenosine deaminase (ADA) at pH 7 with concomitant changes in the optical properties of the enzyme. The association rate constant for (+)-EHNA was 2.9 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 and that for (-)-EHNA was 6.4 x 10(6) M-1 s-1. The dissociation of (-)-EHNA.ADA or (+)-EHNA.ADA in the presence of excess coformycin was monitored by the quenching of enzyme fluorescence as coformycin.ADA was formed. The dissociation rate constants of (+)- and (-)-EHNA.ADA were 0.0054 s-1 and 2.7 s-1, respectively. A similar value for the dissociation rate constant (0.005 s-1) for (+)-EHNA.ADA was calculated from the time course for the appearance of catalytic activity after dilution of (+)-EHNA.ADA into 100 microM adenosine. The Ki values of ADA for (+)- and (-)-EHNA were similar to the dissociation constants calculated from the ratio of the respective dissociation and association rate constants. The biphasic time-dependent inhibition of the catalytic activity of ADA by (+/- )-EHNA [Frieden, C., Kurz, L. C., & Gilbert, H. R. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 5303-5309] was confirmed. However, the catalytic activity of ADA was inhibited monophasically by (+)-EHNA. Thus, the biphasic nature of the time course for inhibition of ADA by (+/- )-EHNA was the result of the presence of both enantiomers of the inhibitor in this assay. These kinetic data were interpreted in terms of single-step mechanisms for binding of (+)- and (-)-EHNA.

(R)- and (S)-2'-deoxycoformycin, (R)-coformycin, and the corresponding 5'-monophosphates were compared as inhibitors of yeast AMP deaminase. The overall inhibition constants ranged from 4.2 mM for (S)-2'-deoxycoformycin to 10 pM for (R)-coformycin 5'-monophosphate, a difference of 3.8 x 10(8) in affinities. (R)-Coformycin, (R)-2'-deoxycoformycin 5'-monophosphate, and (R)-coformycin 5'-monophosphate exhibited both rapid and slow-onset inhibition. The S inhibitors and (R)-2'-deoxycoformycin exhibited classical competitive inhibition but no time-dependent onset of inhibition. The results indicate that the presence of the 2'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate and the R stereochemistry at the C-8 position of the diazepine ring are necessary for the optimum interaction of inhibitors with yeast AMP deaminase. This differs from the results for rabbit muscle AMP deaminase [Frieden C., Kurz, L. C., & Gilbert, H. R. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 5303-5309] and calf intestinal adenosine deaminase [Schramm, V. L., & Baker, D. C. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 641-646], in which a tetrahedral hydroxyl at C-8 in the R stereochemistry is sufficient for slow-onset inhibition with the coformycins. The results suggest that the transition state contains a tetrahedral carbon with the R configuration as a result of the direct attack of an oxygen nucleophile at C-6 of AMP. Slow-onset inhibition of yeast AMP deaminase is consistent with the mechanism [formula: see text] in which the combination of E and I is rapidly reversible. For these inhibitors, Ki varied by a factor of 3 x 10(3), and the overall inhibition constant (Ki*) varied by a factor of 2 x 10(5).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
