Bovine serum amine oxidase (BSAO) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary amines, concomitant with the reduction of molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide via a ping-pong mechanism. A protocol has been developed for an analysis of chemical and kinetic mechanisms in the conversion of dioxygen to hydrogen peroxide. Steady-state kinetics show that two groups need to be deprotonated to facilitate the oxidative half-reaction. The pH dependence ofVmax/Km(O2) reveals pKa's of 6.2 ± 0.3 and 7.0 ± 0.2, respectively. A pKaof 7.2 ± 0.1 has been obtained from a titration of anaerobically reduced BSAO using UV−vis spectrophotometry. The near identity of the pKaobtained from the reduced enzyme titration with the second pKafrom steady-state kinetics suggests that this second pKaarises from the reduced cofactor. The assignment of pKais supported by the observed pH dependence for formation of the cofactor semiquinone signal, detected by EPR spectroscopy under anaerobic conditions. To address the nature of rate-limiting steps in the oxidative half-reaction, the solvent isotope effect, viscosity effect, and O-18 isotope effect on Vmax/Km(O2) have been determined. The solvent isotope effect is indistinguishable from unity, ruling out a proton transfer as a rate-determining step. Use of glucose as a solvent viscosogen shows no viscosity effect, indicating that binding of oxygen is not in the rate-determining step. The O-18 kinetic isotope effect is independent of pH with an average value of18(V/K) = 1.0097 ± 0.0010. This has been compared to calculated equilibrium O-18 isotope effects for various dioxygen intermediate species [Tian and Klinman (1993)J. Am. Chem. Soc. 115, 8891], leading to the conclusion that either the first electron transfer to dioxygen or the desorption of product peroxide from a Cu(II)−OOH complex could be the rate-limiting step. The distribution of steady-state enzyme species was, therefore, analyzed through a combination of stopped-flow experiments and analysis ofDVandD(V/K) for benzylamine oxidation. We conclude that the major species accumulating in the steady state are the oxidized cofactor−substrate Schiff base complex and the reduced, aminoquinol form of cofactor. These data rule out a slow release of product hydroperoxide from the aminoquinone form of enzyme, leading to the conclusion that the first electron transfer from substrate-reduced cofactor to dioxygen is the rate-determining step in the oxidative half-reaction. This step is also estimated to be 40% rate-limiting inkcat. An important mechanistic conclusion from this study is that dioxygen binding is a separate step from the rate-limiting electron-transfer step to form superoxide. On the basis of a recently determined X-ray structure for the active form of a yeast amine oxidase fromHansenula polymorpha[Li et al. (1998)Structure 6, 293], a hydrophobic space has been identified near the O-2 position of reduced cofactor as the putative dioxygen binding site. Movement of superoxide from this site onto the Cu(II) at the active site may occur prior to further electron transfer from cofactor to superoxide.
