Revised Manuscript Received February 2, 1993 abstract: The chorismate mutase reaction is a rare enzyme-catalyzed 3, 3-sigmatropic rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate. Bacillus subtilis chorismate mutase was overproduced and purified from Escherichia coli XL 1-Blue (pBSCM2) using a modification of the procedure of Gray et al.(Gray, J. V., Grolinelli-Pimpaneau, B., & Knowles, J. R.(1990) Biochemistry 29, 376-383); the modification leads to minimal contaminating prephenate dehydratase activity (< 0.001%). The native molecular mass of B. subtilis chorismate mutase was determined by gel filtration to be~ 44 kDa, indicative of a homotrimer of the 14.5-kDa subunits as determined by electrospray mass spectrometry. 13C NMR was used to study the structure of [U-13C] prephenate bound at the active site of B. subtilis chorismate mutase. All the enzyme-bound* 3C NMR resonances of [U-13C] prephenate were assigned, and where possible,'/c. cs were quantified;[l, 3, 5, 8-13C] prephenate and [2, 6, 9-13C] prephenate, prepared respectively from [1, 3, 5, 8-'3C]-chorismate and [2, 6, 9-* 3C] chorismate, aided the* 3C NMR resonance assignments. Enzyme-bound prephenate exhibits remarkablydifferent chemical shifts relative to free prephenate; the chemicalshift changes range from-6.6 ppm for the C6 resonance to 5.6 ppm for the C5 resonance, suggesting a strong perturbation of the C5-C6 bond.* 3C NMR studies of model compounds at various pH values and in various solvents suggest that the observed* 3C chemical shift changes of enzyme-bound prephenate cannot be rationalized solely on the basis of changes in the pKas of the carboxylic acidgroups or hydrophobic solvation at the active site. With regard to the chemical mechanism of the chorismate mutase-catalyzed reaction, these NMR studies do not provide any evidence for a dissociative mechanism which involves discrete intermediates.Chorismate is the branch-point intermediate necessary for the biosynthesis of the amino acids tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan (Gibson & Gibson, 1964; Edwards & Jackman, 1965). The conversion of chorismate to prephenate, the first committed step in the biosynthesis of tyrosine and phenylalanine, is illustrated in Figure 1; this reaction, catalyzed by chorismate mutase (CM, EC 5.4. 99.5), is a rare enzyme-catalyzed 3, 3-sigmatropic rearrangement. CM occurs in plants and microorganisms (Ganem, 1978; Poulsen & Verpoorte, 1991) and is not found in animals. Design of efficient nontoxic inhibitorsof CM, which might serve as antibiotics or herbicides, requires an understanding of the reaction mechanism and the structures of the ligands bound at the active site.
