Revised Manuscript Received April 9, 1991 abstract: Orotidine-S'-monophosphate decarboxylase (ODCase) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae displays an observed 13C kinetic isotope effect of 1.0247±0.0008 at 25 C, pH 6.8. The observed isotope effect is sensitive to changes in the reaction medium, such as pH, temperature, or glycerol content. The value of 1.0494±0.0006 measured at pH 4.0, 25 C, is not altered significantly by temperature or glycerol, and thus the intrinsic isotope effect for the reaction is apparently beingobserved under these conditions and decarboxylation is almost entirely rate-determining. These data require a catalytic mechanism with freely reversible binding and one in which a very limited contribution to the overall rate is made by chemical steps preceding decarboxylation; the zwitterion mechanism of Beak and Siegel [Beak, P. & Siegel, B.(1976) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 98, 3601-3606], which involves only protonation of the pyrimidine ring, is such a mechanism. With use of an intrinsic isotope effect of 1.05, a partitioning factor of less than unity is calculated for ODCase at pH 6.0, 25 C. A quantitative kinetic analysis using this result excludes the possibility of an enzymatic mechanism involving covalent attachment of an enzyme nucleophile to C-5 of the pyrimidine ring. Theobserved isotope effect does not rise to the intrinsic value above pH 8.5; instead, the observed isotope effects at 25 C plotted against pH yield an asymmetric curve that at high pH plateaus at about 1.035. These data, in conjunctionwith the pH profile of Vmax/Km, fit a kinetic model in which an enzyme proton necessary for catalysis is titrated at highpH, thus providing evidence for the catalytic mechanism of Beak and Siegel (1976).^) rotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (ODCase, 1 EC 4.1. 1.23), catalyzes the conversion of OMP to UMP in the sixth and final step of the denovo pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway. The net reaction involves substitution of the car-
