The amino acid sequence of an octapeptide from the catalytic site of human placental estradiol 17/3-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1. 1.62) was established by affinity-labeling techniques. The enzyme was inactivated separately by 12/3-hydroxy-4-estrene-3, 17-dione 12-(bromo [2-14C] acetate) and 3-methoxyestriol 16-(bromo [2-14C] acetate) at pH 6.3. The inactivations, in both cases, followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with half-times for the 12/3 and 16a derivatives being 192 and 68 h, respectively. Both derivatives are known substrates that inactivate in a time-dependent, irreversible manner and that modify cysteine residues to form (carboxymethyl) cysteine and histidine residues to form either NT-or AT-(carboxymethyl) histidine. The inactivated enzymesamples were separately reduced, carboxymethylated, and digested with trypsin. The tryptic digests were applied to Sephadex G-50 and the radioactive AT-and A”-(carboxymethyl) histidine-bearing peptides identified. The peptides were further purified by cation-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Final purification was achieved by HPLC prior to sequencing. It was determined that both steroid derivatives modified either of the two histidine residues in the peptide Thr-Asp-Ile-His-Thr-Phe-His-Arg. These histidines are different from a histidine that was previously shown to be alkylated by estrone 3-(bromoacetate) and that was presumed to proximate the A ring of the bound steroid. It is concluded that thetwo histidine residues identified in thepresent study proximate the D ring of the steroid as it binds at the active site and may participate in the hydrogen transfer effected by human placental estradiol 17/3-dehydrogenase.Estradiol 17/3-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1. 1.62) has previously been purified to homogeneity (Chin & Warren, 1973) and crystallized (Chin et al., 1976) in this laboratory. The topography of the active site has been studied by affinity labeling with various steroid bromoacetates. Steroids bearing the
