The effects of pH, solvent isotope, and primary isotope replacement on substrate dehydrogenation by Rhodotorula gracilis D-amino acid oxidase, were investigated. The rate constant for enzyme-FAD reduction by D-alanine increases approximate to fourfold with pH, reflecting apparent pK(a) values of approximate to 6 and approximate to 8, and reaches plateaus at high and low pH. Such profiles are observed in all presteady-state and steady-state kinetic experiments, using both D-alanine, and D-asparagine as substrates, and are inconsistent with the operation of a base essential to catalysis. A solvent deuterium isotope effect of 3.1 +/- 1.1 is observed on the reaction with D-alanine at pH 6; it decreases to 1.2 +/- 0.2 at pH 10. The primary substrate, isotope effect on the reduction rate with [2-D]D-alanine is 9.1 +/- 1.5 at low and 2.3 +/- 0.3 at high pH. At pH 6.0, the solvent isotope effect is 2.9 +/- 0.8 with, [2-D]D-alanine, and the primary isotope effect is 8.4 +/- 2.4 in D2O. Thus, primary and solvent kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) are independent of the presence of the other isotope, i.e. the 'double' kinetic isotope effect is the product of the individual KIEs, consistent with a transition state in which rapture of the two bonds of the substrate to hydrogen is concerted. These results support a hydride transfer mechanism for the dehydrogenation reaction in D-amino acid oxidase and argue against the occurrence of any intermediates in the process. A pK(a,app) of approximate to 8 is interpreted to arise from the microscopic ionization of the substrate amino acid alpha -amino group, but also includes contributions from kinetic parameters.
