The binding of the intact phosphonamide inhibitor N-[[[(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]methyl]hydroyphosphinyl]-L-phenylalanine (ZGP''; Ki = 90 nM), a possible transition-state analogue of the dipeptide substrate Cbz-Gly-L-Phe, to the active site of carboxypeptidase A (CPA) is described, X-ray crystallographic analysis of the enzyme-inhibitor complex provides a well-resolved structure at 2.0-.ANG. resolution. Although our previous study of this compound with CPA yielded the structure of a hydrolyzed phosphonamidate, optimal adjustment of pH now allows the observation of the intact complex. Both phosphonamidate and phosphonate-derived inhibitor designs have realized success toward the inhibition of zinc proteases, and their binding stereochemistry to the active sites of CPA and the related zinc endoprotease thermolysin (TLN) is summarized and considered in light of a common hydrolytic mechanism. Interestingly, for both CPA and TLN these phosphonamidate inhibitors that have P1 glycine residues display anomalous binding modes relative to those inhibitors that have phenylalanine side chains in this position. In the current study with CPA, the CbZ-gly moiety of ZGP'' occupies the S1 hydrophobic side-chain cleft instead of binding in the main active site groove. The anomalous binding mode of ZGP'' leads to questions regarding its classification as an analogue of an intermediate or transition state, at least with regard to binding in the S1 subsite.
