Tryptophanase has an absorption maximum at 338 nm at high pH and 422 nm at low pH. The 422-nm absorption species has been considered to be the catalytically competent ketoenamine form of the Schiff base of pyridoxal 5‘-phosphate with a lysine residue. The 338-nm absorption band showed an intense fluorescence band at 390 nm and not around 500 nm, indicating that the 338-nm absorption species is the substituted aldamine rather than an enolimine form of the Schiff base which has been suggested previously. To explore the mechanism of the enzyme that can exert its catalytic ability at high pH where most of its coenzyme exists as the catalytically incompetent aldamine structure, the reaction of tryptophanase with 3-indolepropionate, a substrate analogue that stops the reaction at the step of the Michaelis complex, was studied at various pH values and analogue concentrations. Kinetic analysis was done based on a scheme involving eight forms of the enzyme, i.e., the liganded and unliganded forms of the ketoenamin...
