Abstract When sucrose phosphorylase reacts with sucrose, a covalent glucose-enzyme complex can be isolated. In one case, the complex was isolated by rapidly denaturing the enzyme under acidic conditions. In the other case, the complex was isolated by chemically modifying the protein with NaIO4 after addition of the substrate. The NaIO4-modified complex maintains the ability to transfer the glucosyl group to acceptors with an acceptor specificity that resembles the native enzyme. The rate of reaction is approximately 1/20,000 that of the native enzyme. Pepsin digestion of both types of complexes produces positively charged, glucose-containing fragments, presumably peptides. The linkage between glucose and peptides as well as between glucose and enzyme is extremely base labile. For the glucosyl-peptides, t½ of glucose release at pH 6.0 is 80 min at 25°. When glucose is released from glucosyl peptides in 75% methanol, only glucose and no methyl glucoside is formed. It was concluded that glucose must be linked to the peptide through an oxygen atom contributed by the peptide and that the C-1 glucose oxygen bond was not broken during solvolysis. The glucose released from the peptides has the β configuration. Therefore, formation of the glucose-enzyme complex proceeds with inversion of configuration at the C-1 atom of the glucosyl moiety of sucrose. This fact, together with the isolation of a glucose-enzyme complex, provides support for the hypothesis that sucrose phosphorylase functions through a double replacement mechanism with intermediate formation of a β-linked glucose-enzyme complex.
