    Abstract:
    Adenosine 5'-phosphate was synthesized with specific heavy atom substitutions to permit measurement of V/K kinetic isotope effects for the N-glycohydrolase activity of the allosteric AMP nucleosidase and the acid-catalyzed solvolysis of these compounds. The effects of allosteric activation on the kinetic isotope effects together with the kinetic mechanism of AMP nucleosidase [DeWolf, W. E., Jr., Emig, F. A., & Schramm, V. L. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 4132-4140] indicate that the kinetic isotope effects are fully expressed. Comparison of individual primary and secondary kinetic isotope effects with combined isotope effects and the isotope effect of the reverse reaction indicated that kinetic isotope effects in AMP nucleosidase arise from a single step in the reaction mechanism. Under these conditions, kinetic isotope effects can be used to interpret transition-state structure for AMP nucleosidase. Changes in kinetic isotope effects occurred as a function of allosteric activator, demonstrating that allosteric activation alters transition-state structure for AMP nucleosidase. Kinetic isotope effects, expressed as [V/K(normal isotope]/[V/K(heavy isotope)], were observed with [2'-2H]AMP (1.061 +/- 0.002), [9-15N]AMP (1.030 +/- 0.003), [1'-2H]AMP (1.045 +/- 0.002), and [1'-14C]AMP (1.035 +/- 0.002) when hydrolyzed by AMP nucleosidase in the absence of MgATP. Addition of MgATP altered the [2'-2H]AMP effect (1.043 +/- 0.002) and the [1'-2H]AMP effect (1.030 +/- 0.003) and caused a smaller decrease of the 14C and 15N effects. Multiple heavy atom substitutions into AMP caused an increase in observed isotope effects to 1.084 +/- 0.004 for [1'-2H,1'-14C]AMP and to 1.058 +/- 0.002 for [9-15N,1'-14C]AMP with the enzyme in the absence of ATP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
