The data presented here describe new findings related to the bioconversion of adenosine to 9-β-d-arabinofuranosyladenine (ara-A) byStreptomyces antibioticusbyin vivoinvestigations and with a partially purified enzyme. First, in double labelin vivoexperiments with [2′-18O]- and [U-14C]adenosine, the18O:14C ratio of the ara-A isolated does not change appreciably, indicating a stereospecific inversion of the C-2′ hydroxyl of adenosine to ara-Awith retentionof the18O at C-2′. In experiments with [3′-18O]- and [U-14C]-adenosine, [U-14C]ara-A was isolated; however, the18O at C-3′ is below detection. The adenosine isolated from the RNA from both double label experiments has essentially the same ratio of18O:14C. Second, an enzyme has been isolated and partially purified from extracts ofS. antibioticusthat catalyzes the conversion of adenosine, but not AMP, ADP, ATP, inosine, guanosine, ord-ribose, to ara-A. In a single label enzyme-catalyzed experiment with [U-14C]adenosine, there was a 9.9% conversion to [U-14C]ara-A; with [2′-3H]-adenosine, there was a 8.9% release of the C-2′ tritium from [2′-3H]adenosine which was recovered as3H2O. Third, the release of3H as3H2O from [2′-3H]adenosine was confirmed by incubations of the enzyme with3H2O and adenosine. Ninety percent of the tritium incorporated into thed-arabinose of the isolated ara-A was in C-2 and 8% was in C-3. The enzyme-catalyzed conversion of adenosine to ara-A occurs without added cofactors, displays saturation kinetics, a pH optimum of 6.8, aKmof 8 × 10−4M, and an inhibition by heavy metal cations. The enzyme also catalyzes the stereospecific inversion of the C-2′ hydroxyl of the nucleoside antibiotic, tubercidin to form 7-β-d-arabinofuranosyl-4-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine. The nucleoside antibiotic, sangivamycin, in which the C-5 hydrogen is replaced with a carboxamide group, is not a substrate. On the basis of the single and double label experimentsin vivoand thein vitroenzyme-catalyzed experiments, two mechanisms involving either a 3′-ketonucleoside intermediate or a radical cation are proposed to explain the observed data.
