The 2-ketoglutarate analog 3-bromo-2-ketoglutarate decomposes in buffered solution to produce a compound which can react with nucleophiles. At pH 6.15 in 50 mM 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (Mes) buffer containing 2 mM MnSO4 and 20% glycerol, both the loss of bromide and the loss of the ability to serve as a substrate for pig heart TPN-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase occur with a half-time of 1.6 h; however, the loss of the ability to react with glutathione occurs with a half-time of 7h. Presumably, elimination of HBr yields an unsaturated compound, 3,4-di-dehydro-2-ketoglutarate, which would be expected to add nucleophiles by a Michael-type addition at C-4. This decomposition product progressively inactivates pig heart DPN-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. With increasing concentrations of the reagent, the reaction exhibits a rate saturation: the minimum inactivation half-time is 35 min with a Kinact of 1.5 mM. Specific protection against inactivation is afforded by the substrate isocitrate, while the coenzymes DPN and DPNH yield only weak protection. Incubation of the presumed 3,4-didehydro-2-ketoglutarate with the enzyme results in a loss of allosteric ADP activation at the same rate as inactivation. Both isocitrate and ADP afford equal protection against loss of activity and loss of ADP activation, implying that both processes may result from the same molecular event. Since the loss of ADP activation measures the effect of the allosteric compound on unmodified catalytically active subunits, there is strong evidence of interaction between modified and unmodified subunits. Complete loss of enzymatic activity correlates with the covalent incorporation of .apprx. 1.0 mol of reagent/mol of average subunit. 3,4-Di-dehydro-2-ketoglutarate probably functions as an affinity label of the substrate binding site of DPN-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. The stoichiometry of incorporation suggests that each of the structurally distinct subunits of the enzyme must be modified for complete loss of activity. A cysteine residue was identified as the prime candidate for the amino acid modified by both 3-bromo-2-ketoglutarate and the putative 3,4-didehydro-2-ketoglurate. This cysteine residue may function as a general base in the enzymic reaction mechanism.
