The interaction between pig liver mitochondrial electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF) and general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (GAD) was investigated by means of the heterobifunctional reagent N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate. Neither ETF or GAD contained reactive thiol groups. The substitution of 9.4 lysine residues/FAD group in GAD with pyridyl disulphide structures did not affect the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Thiol groups were introduced into ETF by thiolation with methyl 4-mercaptobutyrimidate. ETF containing 10.5 reactive thiol groups/FAD group showed undiminished electron-acceptor activity with respect to GAD. The reaction of thiolated ETF and GAD containing pyridyl disulphide structures resulted in a decreased staining intensity of the small subunit of ETF on SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Preferential cross-linking of the smaller subunit of ETF to GAD did not take place when ETF was first treated with SDS, but was unaffected by reduction of GAD by octanoyl-CoA.

The mitochondrial electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF) is a heterodimer containing only one FAD. In previous work on the structure-function relationships of ETF, its interaction with the general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (GAD) was studied by chemical cross-linking with heterobifunctional reagents [D. J. Steenkamp (1987) Biochem. J. 243, 519-524]. GAD whose lysine residues were substituted with 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionyl groups was preferentially cross-linked to the small subunit of ETF, the lysine residues of which had been substituted with 4-mercaptobutyramidine (MBA) groups. This work was extended to the interaction of ETF with ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF-Q ox). ETF-Q ox was partially inactivated by modification with N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate to introduce pyridyl disulphide structures. A similar modification of ETF caused a large increase in the apparent Michaelis constant of ETF-Q ox for modified ETF owing to the loss of positive charge on some critical lysines of ETF. When ETF-Q ox was modified with 2-iminothiolane to introduce 4-mercaptobutyramidine groups, only a minor effect on the activity of the enzyme was observed. To retain the positive charges on the lysine residues of ETF, pyridyl disulphide structures were introduced by treating ETF with 2-iminothiolane in the presence of 2,2'-dithiodipyridyl. The electron-transfer activity of the resultant ETF preparation containing 4-(2-pyridyldithio)butyramidine (PDBA) groups was only slightly affected. When ETF-Q ox substituted with MBA groups was mixed with ETF bearing PDBA groups, at least 70% of the cross-links formed between the two proteins were between the small subunit of ETF and ETF-Q ox. ETF-Q ox, therefore, interacts predominantly with the same subunit of ETF as GAD. Variables which affect the selectivity of ETF-Q ox cross-linking to the subunits of ETF are considered.

cDNA encoding the precursor of rat liver medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.3) was cloned and sequenced. The longest cDNA insert isolated was 1866 bases in length. This cDNA encodes the entire protein of 421-amino acids including a 25-amino acid leader peptide and a 396-amino acid mature polypeptide. The identity of the medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase clone was confirmed by matching the amino acid sequence predicted from the cDNA to the NH2-terminal and nine internal tryptic peptide sequences derived from pure rat liver medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. The calculated molecular masses of the precursor medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, the mature medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and the leader peptide are 46,600, 43,700, and 2,900 daltons, respectively. The leader peptide contains five basic amino acids and only one acidic amino acid; thus, it is positively charged, overall. Cysteine residues are unevenly distributed in the mature portion of the protein; five of six are found within the NH2-terminal half of the polypeptide. Comparison of medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase sequence to other flavoproteins and enzymes which act on coenzyme A ester substrates did not lead to unambiguous identification of a possible FAD-binding site nor a coenzyme A-binding domain. The sequencing of other homologous acyl-CoA dehydrogenases will be informative in this regard.

The 8-demethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deaza-5-carba analogues of FMN and FAD have been synthesized. Several apoproteins of flavoenzymes were successfully reconstituted with these analogues. This and further tests established that these analogues could serve as general probes for flavin stereospecificity in enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The method used by us involved stereoselective introduction of label on one enzyme combined with transfer to and analysis on a second enzyme. Using as a reference glutathione reductase from human erythrocytes for which the absolute stereochemistry of catalysis is known from X-ray studies [Pai, E. F., & Schulz, G. E. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 1752-1758], we were able to determine the absolute stereospecificities of other flavoenzymes. We found that glutathione reductase (NADPH), general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (acyl-CoA), mercuric reductase (NADPH), thioredoxin reductase (NADPH), p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (NADPH), melilotate hydroxylase (NADH), anthranilate hydroxylase (NADPH), and glucose oxidase (glucose) all use the re face of the flavin ring when interacting with the substrates given in parentheses.

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)

2-Methyl-branched chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from rat liver mitochondria. The native molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 170,000 by gel filtration. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis both with and without 2-mercaptoethanol, the enzyme showed a single protein band with Mr = 41,500, suggesting that this enzyme is composed of four subunits of equal size. Its isoelectric point was 5.50 +/- 0.2, and A1%280 nm was 12.5. This enzyme contained protein-bound FAD. The purified enzyme dehydrogenated S-2-methylbutyryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA with equal activity. The activities with each of these compounds were co-purified throughout the entire purification procedure. This enzyme also dehydrogenated R-2-methylbutyryl-CoA, but the specific activity was considerably lower (22%) than that for the S-enantiomer. The enzyme did not dehydrogenate other acyl-CoAs, including isovaleryl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, butyryl-CoA, octanoyl-CoA, and palmitoyl-CoA, at any significant rate. Apparent Km and Vmax values for S-2-methylbutyryl-CoA were 20 microM and 2.2 mumol min-1 mg-1, respectively, while those for isobutyryl-CoA were 89 microM and 2.0 mumol min-1 mg-1 using phenazine methosulfate as an artificial electron acceptor. The enzyme was also active with electron transfer flavoprotein. Tiglyl-CoA and methacrylyl-CoA were identified as the reaction products from S-2-methylbutyryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA, respectively. 2-Ethylacrylyl-CoA was produced from R-2-methylbutyryl-CoA. Tiglyl-CoA competitively inhibited the activity with both S-2-methylbutyryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA with a similar Ki. The enzyme activity was also severely inhibited by several organic sulfhydryl reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, and methyl mercury iodide. The pattern and degree of inhibition were essentially identical for both substrates. The purified 2-methyl-branched chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase was immunologically distinct from isovaleryl-CoA-, short chain acyl-CoA-, medium chain acyl-CoA-, or long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

Yellow butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase and general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase are "greened" by a mixture of coenzyme A plus elemental sulfur. The resultant stable complex contains an identical ligand with that present in native green butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase and has the same broad absorption band centered at 710 nm. Evidence is presented that the greening ligand is a CoA persulfide, possibly a mimic of the substrate carbanion thought to be generated early in the normal catalytic cycle. Variation in the position of the long wavelength band on replacement of FAD by a series of analogs of differing oxidation-reduction potential is consistent with a charge-transfer complex between a persulfide as the donor and oxidized flavin as the acceptor. The possible physiological and metabolic significance is discussed.

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.

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.
