Richard E. Galardy* and Zbigniew P. Kortylewicz abstract: DL-2-Benzyl-3-formylpropanoic acid (XlVb) is a competitive inhibitor of carboxypeptidase A with an apparent K¡ of 0.48 µ at pH 7.5 in 50 mM Tris buffer-0.5 M in sodium chloridewith 0-(lrans-p-chlorocinnamoyl)-L-/3-phenyllactate as substrate. At pH 7.5 in deuterium oxide, DL-2-benzyl-3-formylpropanoic acid exists as an equilibrium mixture of 75% free aldehyde and 25% hydrated aldehyde. The species that binds to the enzyme may be either the free aldehyde or the hydrate. Therefore, the K, of the species bound is significantly less than the observed K¡ of 0.48 µ. The alcohol and dioxolane analogues of this aldehyde, dl-2-benzyl-4-hydroxybutanoic acid (XI) and 2-benzyl-4, 4-(ethylenedioxy) butanoic acid (XXVII), are only weak inhib-jAldehydes and halomethyl ketones are frequently strong reversible inhibitorsof proteases known to employ an acyl enzyme intermediate such as elastase (Thompson, 1973) and papain (Lewis & Wolfenden, 1977a) and of certain amino-peptidases (Birch et al., 1972; Kettner et al., 1974; Anderson et al., 1982). The mechanism of inhibition probably involves the addition of a nucleophile to the carbonyl carbon atom, converting it to a tetrahedral configuration which resembles intermediates related to the transition state for amide substrate hydrolysis (Lewis & Wolfenden, 1977b). Tetrahedral addition complexes between trypsin and the irreversible inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl [2-13C] lysine chloromethyl ketone (Malt-house et al., 1983) and between pepsin and a carbon-13 labeled ketone (Rich et al., 1982) have been observed by carbon-13 NMR. 1 In the case of pepsin, the identity of the nucleophile involved in the tetrahedral complex was not established. It could be a water molecule or an enzyme-bound nucleophile. The zinc metalloprotease carboxypeptidase A is irreversibly inhibited by the halomethyl ketone 7V-(bromoacetyl)-7V-methylphenylalanine (Hass & Neurath, 1971a) accompanied by alkylation of glutamic acid-270 (Hass & Neurath, 1971b). The ketomethylene analogue of the substrate benzoyl-L-phenylalanine,(-)-3-(p-methoxybenzoyl)-2-benzylpropanoic acid [(-)-!], was reported to reversibly inhibit carboxypeptidase A with a K, of 110 µ (Sugimoto and Kaiser, 1978). The reported studies with this ketone do not suggest whether the mechanism of inhibition involves reversible addition of a nu-cleophile to the ketone carbonyl carbon to produce a tetra-hedral adduct. However, a base atthe active site of carbox-ypeptidase was found to catalyze stereospecific exchange of one of the a protons of the ketone, and this base was proposed to be glutamic acid-270 or an intervening water molecule (Sugimoto & Kaiser, 1978).
