The entire family of ATP analogues that are either mono- or disubstituted with imido and methylene bridges in the polyphosphate chain of ATP have been investigated as substrates and inhibitors of S-adensylmethionine synthetase (ATP:L-methionine S-adenosyltransferase). The disubstituted analogues adenosine 5''-(.alpha.-.beta.:.beta., .gamma.-diimidotriphosphate) (AMPNPNP) and adenosine 5''-(.alpha.:.beta..alpha.,.beta.''-diimidotrophosphate) [AMP(NP)2] have been synthesized for the first time, and a new route to adenosine 5''-(.alpha.,.beta.:.beta., .gamma.-dimethylenetriphosphate) (AMPCPCP) has been developed. S-adenosylmethionine synthetase catalyzes a two-step reaction: the intact polyphosphate chain is displaced from ATP, yielding AdoMet and tripolyphosphate, followed normally, but not obligatory, by the hydrolysis of the tripolyphosphate to pyrophosphate and orthophosphate. Uniformly, the imido mono-or disubstituted derivatives are both better substrates and better inhibitors than their methylene counterparts. AMPNPNP reacts rapidly to give a single equivalent of product per active site, but subsequent turnovers are at least 1000-fold slower, enabling it to be used to quantify enzyme active site concentrations. In contrast, AMPNPNP, was not a substrate but was a linear competitive inhibitor, > 100 fold more potent than ADP, indicating a reasonable degree of bulk tolerance at the .alpha.-phosphoryl group binding site. Asenosine 5''-(.alpha.,.beta.-imidotriphosphate) (AMPNPP) is a suprising potent inhibitor as well as substrate, with an inhibition constant that is .apprx. 60-fold less than the Km for ATP, and is an .apprx. 1000-fold better inhibitor than adenosine 5''-(.alpha.,.beta.-methylenetriphosphate) (AMPCPP). These findings reinforce the notion that imido analogues of ATP are more suitable analogues of ATP than their corresponding methylene compounds.
