INACTIVATION OF SUBTILISIN CARLSBERG BY N-(TERT-BUTOXYCARBONYL-ALANYL-PROLYL-PHENYLALANYL)-O-BENZOYL HYDROXYLAMINE: FORMATION OF COVALENT ENZYME-INHIBITOR LINKAGE IN THE FORM OF A CARBAMATE DERIVATIVE
Overview
The mechanism of inactivation of serine proteases by, N-peptidyl-O-aroylhydroxylamines was studied by X-ray crystallography., Cocrystals of subtilisin Carlsberg inactivated with, N-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)alanylprolylphenylalanyl)-O-nitrobenzoy, lhydroxylamine were grown, and diffraction data to 1.8-A resolution were, obtained. The resulting electron density maps clearly reveal that the, gamma-oxygen of the catalytic serine forms a carbamate derivative with the, inhibitor. The peptide part of the inhibitor does not form the usual, antiparallel beta-sheet in the P binding cleft but protrudes out of the, active site and is stabilized by a network of water molecules. These, results, combined with kinetic characterization reported previously, [Demuth, H.-U., Schoenlein, C., & Barth, A. (1989b) Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 996, 19-22; Schmidt, C., Schmidt, R., & Demuth, H.-U. (1990) Peptides, (Giralt, E., & Andreu, D., Eds.) ESCOM Science Publishers B.V., Amsterdam], support the existence of at least one intermediate between the formation, of the Michaelis complex and the final product. We suggest a mechanism for, the inactivation of subtilisin Carlsberg by, N-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)alanylprolylphenylalanyl)-O-benzoylhydr oxylamine, whereby a negatively charged Michaelis complex undergoes a Lossen, rearrangement giving rise to an isocyanate intermediate that reacts with, the side chain of the active site serine.
