The enzyme also catalyzes the formation of (6S')-5-formyltetrahydropteroylpolyglutamate from a compound in equilibrium with (6/?)-5, 10-methenyltetrahydropteroylpolyglutamate believed to be (6J?, 1 li?)-5, 10-hydroxymethylenetetrahydropteroylpolyglutamate, a putative intermediate in the nonenzymatic hydrolysis of 5, 10-methenyltetrahydropteroylglutamate to 5-formyltetrahydropteroylglutamate [Stover, P., & Schirch, V.(1992) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)]. The enzymatic mechanism for the formation of (6S)-5-formyltetrahydropteroylpolyglutamate from these substrates andthe role of glycine in the reaction was addressed. Evidence suggests that (6i?, l li?)-5, 10-hydroxymethylenetetrahydropteroyltetraglutamate is a catalytically competent intermediatein the enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of (6J?)-5, 10-methenyltetrahydropteroyltetraglutamate. The enzyme displays a high Km of 40 pM for (6J?)-5, 10-methenyltetrahydropteroyltetraglutamate, while the Km for (6R, llR)-5, 10-hydroxymethylenetetrahydropteroyltetra-glutamate is below 0.5 pM. The kat values for both reactions are identical and equal to the rate of formation of an enzyme ternary complex absorbingat 502 nm which is formed from glycine and (bS^-S-formyltetrahydropteroylpolyglutamate. The hydrolysis reaction proceeds with exchange of the C11 formyl proton of (6R)-5, 10-methenyltetrahydropteroyltetraglutamate, suggesting that theenzyme-catalyzed reaction occurs by the same C11 carbanion inversion mechanism as the nonenzymatic reaction. Isotope exchange experiments using [2-3H] glycine and differential scanning calorimetry data suggest both a catalytic and a conformational role for glycine in the enzymatic reaction. The results are discussed in terms of the similarity inmechanisms of the SHMT-catalyzed retroaldol cleavage of serine and hydrolysis of (6i?)-5, 10-methenyltetrahydropteroylpolyglutamates.Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) 1 catalyzes the reversible conversion of 5, 10-CH2-H4PteGlu and glycine to form serine and tetrahydropteroylglutamate (H4PteGlu)(re-action 1). Although several mechanisms have been proposed for this reaction, a favored mechanism involves the hydrolysis of 5, 10-CH2-H4PteGluto H4PteGlu and enzyme-bound formaldehyde (Matthews & Drummond, 1991). The bound formaldehyde then adds to a glycine anion, which is present at the active site as a resonance-stabilized imine with pyri-
