Abstract

Directional preference in catalysis is often used to distinguish alcohol dehydrogenases from carbonyl reductases. However, the mechanistic basis underpinning this discrimination is weak. In mannitol 2-dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens, stabilization of (partial) negative charge on the substrate oxyanion by the side chains of Asn-191 and Asn-300 is a key feature of catalysis in the direction of alcohol oxidation. We have disrupted this ability through individual and combined substitutions of the two asparagines by aspartic acid. Kinetic data and their thermodynamic analysis show that the internal equilibrium of enzyme-NADH-fructose and enzyme-NAD(+)-mannitol (K(int)) was altered dramatically (10(4)- to 10(5)-fold) from being balanced in the wild-type enzyme (K(int) ≈ 3) to favoring enzyme-NAD(+)-mannitol in the single site mutants, N191D and N300D. The change in K(int) reflects a selective slowing down of the mannitol oxidation rate, resulting because Asn --> Asp replacement (i) disfavors partial abstraction of alcohol proton by Lys-295 in a step preceding catalytic hydride transfer, and (ii) causes stabilization of a nonproductive enzyme-NAD(+)-mannitol complex. N191D and N300D appear to lose fructose binding affinity ...Continue Reading
