Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The substrate binding site of polyenoic fatty acid isomerase (PFI) has been investigated using a series of alternate substrates and by examination of the pH dependence on the kinetic parameters of PFI with selected substrates. The pH dependence profile of PFI with EPA [(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-eicosapentaenoic acid] shows the enzyme to be catalytically active over a wide pH range, with activity being optimal below pH 6.0. Analysis of the kinetic parameters of DHA [(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosahexen oic acid]; adrenic acid [(7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z)-docosatetraenoic acid]; EPA; arachidonic acid [(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid]; anandamide (arachidonyl-N-ethanolamide); and eicosatrienoic acid [(5Z,8Z,11Z)-eicosatrienoic acid] demonstrates that substrates possessing omega-3 olefins (DHA and EPA) have the lowest K(m) values (1.9 and 9.6 microM, respectively). EPA and arachidonic acid showed the highest V(max) values (6.0 and 2.8 micromol min(-1) mg(-1), respectively). The twenty carbon omega-9 fatty acid eicosatrienoic acid showed a relatively large K(m) and had a V(max) approximately 20-fold less than EPA. Anandamide, a substrate analog lacking an ionizable carboxylate, showed a K(m) similar to the other omega-6 fatty acids (arachidonic acid and adrenic acid); however, the V(max) was approximately 5-fold lower than arachidonic acid and 8-fold lower than EPA. Moreover, anandamide demonstrated no pH dependency on its kinetic parameters over a range where EPA showed a 27-fold decrease in V/K(m). NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the structure of the product from reaction of PFI with DHA. These data showed the compound to be (4Z,7Z,9E,11E,16Z,19Z)-docosahexenoi c acid. Reaction of PFI with dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid resulted in the development of two products, one with the characteristic chromophore of a conjugated triene, the other with a chromophore characteristic of a conjugated diene. Analysis of the products from these reactions of PFI, in conjunction with the kinetic parameters from the alternate substrates, provides compelling evidence that the enzyme preferentially orients the substrate in the catalytic site with respect to the methyl terminus.
