Butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase from Megasphaera elsdenii catalyzes the exchange of the .alpha.- and .beta.-hydrogens of substrate with solvent. The stoichiometry of this exchange was determined by using 3H2O label as 1.94 .+-. 0.1 per substrate molecule. The rate of 3H label incorporation into substrate under anaerobic conditions is monophasic, indicating that both the .alpha.- and .beta.-hydrogens exchange at the same rate. The exchange in 2H2O leads to incorporation of one 2H each into the .alpha.- and .beta.-positions of butyryl-CoA, as determined by companion 1H NMR experiments and confirmed by mass spectroscopic analysis. In contrast, with general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase from pig kidney, only exchange of the .alpha.-hydrogen was found. The .beta.-hydrogen is the one that is transferred (reversibly) to the flavin 5-position during substrate dehydrogenation. This was demonstrated by reacting 5-3H- and 5-2H-reduced 5-deaza-FAD-general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase with crotonyl-CoA. Only one face of the reduced flavin analog is capable of transferring hydrogen to substrate. The rate of this reaction is 11.1 s-1 for 5-deaza-FAD-enzyme and 2.2 s-1 for [5-2H]deaza-FAD-enzyme, yielding an isotope effect of 5. These values compare with a rate of 2.6 s-1 for the reaction of native reduced enzyme with crotonyl-CoA. The 2 reduced enzymes (normal vs. 5-deaza-FAD-enzyme) thus react at similar rates, indicating a similar mechanism. The results are interpreted as evidence for a catalytic sequence in which the .alpha.-hydrogen is abstracted as a proton, followed by expulsion of the .beta.-hydrogen as a hydride and its direct transfer to the flavin position N(5).
