Hydride Mechanism for Glyoxalase

Intramolecular Cannizzaro reaction
• Evidence for a hydride mechanism - when run in 3H2O, lactate contains less than 4% tritium
• NMR experiment provided evidence for a proton transfer mechanism:
Enzyme reaction followed by NMR
– At 25 °C in 2H2O, 15% deuterium was incorporated
– At 35 °C, 22% deuterium was incorporated

Unusual Reaction Catalyzed by a FlavoenzymeUDP-galactopyranose mutase (UGM)
Requires FAD; only reduced enzyme is active
Absorption spectrum characteristic of N5-monoalkylated flavin
When UGM was incubated with UDP-[3H]-galactopyranose and treated withNaCNBH3, enzyme was inactivated (not when NaCNBH3 was omitted); gel filtration gave radioactive enzyme
Acid denaturation precipitated protein and all tritium released; flavin fraction in supernatant was tritiated
pKa of N5 of reduced FAD is 6.7, suggesting can be deprotonated
Mass spectrum consistent with a flavin-galactose adduct
