Stereochemical course of thiophosphoryl group transfer catalyzed by mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
1984
Guinea pig liver mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase catalyzes the conversion of (Rp)-guanosine 5'-(3-thio[3-18O]triphosphate) and oxalacetate to (Sp)-[18O] thiophosphoenolpyruvate , GDP, and CO2 by a mechanism that involves overall inversion in the configuration of the chiral [18O]thiophosphate group. This result is most consistent with a single displacement mechanism in which the [18O]thiophosphoryl group is transferred from (Rp)-guanosine 5'-(3-thio[3-18O]triphosphate) bound at the active site directly to enolpyruvate generated at the active site by the decarboxylation of oxalacetate. In particular, this result does not indicate the involvement of a covalent thiophosphoryl-enzyme on the reaction pathway.
