Markham8 Department of Biochemistry, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104-6002, and Institute for Cancer Research, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19111 Received December 8, 1986; Revised Manuscript Received March 11, 1987 abstract: 13C NMR has been used to observe the equilibrium complex of [4-13C]-5-aminolevulinate ([4-13C] ALA) bound to porphobilinogen (PBG) synthase (5-aminolevulinate dehydratase), a 280 000-dalton protein.[4-13C] ALA (chemical shift= 205.9 ppm) forms [3, 5-13C] PBG (chemical shifts= 121.0 and 123.0 ppm). PBG prepared from a mixture of [4-13C] ALA and [15N] ALA was used to assign the 121.0 and 123.0 ppm resonances to C5 and C3, respectively. For the enzyme-bound equilibrium complex formed from holoenzyme and [4-I3C] ALA, two peaks of equal area with chemical shifts of 121.5 and 127.2 ppm are observed (line widths~ 50 Hz), indicating that the predominant species is probably a distorted form of PBG. When excess free PBG is present, it is in slow exchange with bound PBG, indicating an exchange rate of< 10 s-1, which is consistent with the turnover rate of the enzyme. For the complex formedfrom [4-13C] ALA and methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) modified PBGsynthase, which does notcatalyze PBG formation, the predominant species is a Schiff base adduct (chemical shift= 166.5 ppm, line width~ 50 Hz). Free ALA is in slow exchange with the Schiff base. Activation of the MMTS-modified enzyme-Schiff base complex with I13Cd and 2-mercaptoethanol results in the loss of the Schiff base signal and the appearance of bound PBG with the same chemical shifts as for the bound equilibrium complex with Zn (II) enzyme. Neither splitting nor broadening from 113Cd-13C coupling was observed.^ Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) 1 has long been rec-ognized as a potential probe of the active site chemistry of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. More than 10 years have passed since Mildred Cohn and co-workers first used 31P NMR to investigate the equilibrium complexbetween substrates bound to an enzyme, arginine kinase (Rao et al., 1976). Although carbon chemistry far exceeds phosphorus chemistry inap-plicability to enzyme-catalyzed reactions, 13C NMR as a probe of enzyme active sites suffers from the natural 1.1% isotopic abundance of 13C. The low natural abundance dictates synthesis of isotopically enriched substrate molecules, while the high natural abundance contributes substantial resonance intensity (background) from the carbons of the protein. Nev-ertheless, Mackenzie et al.(1984) in a recent review predict a promising future for the use of 13C NMR to study en-zyme-substrate complexes below 50 000daltons, using cryo-solvents to prolong the lifetime of enzyme-bound intermediates. Porphobilinogen (PBG) synthase (aka-aminolevulinate dehydratase, EC 4.2. 1.24) catalyzes the asymmetric conden-
