Since the report in 1990 that the active carbonyl cofactor used by plasma and other copper amine oxidases is the quinone form (topaquinone, TPQ) of an active site 2, 4, 5-trihydroxyphenylalanine residue, 1 there has been renewed interest in mechanistic and directed model studies. 2-7 A pyridoxal-like transamination mechanism appears to be in force for the enzyme (Scheme 1, path A), since anaerobic single turnover results in release of aldehyde product, whereas NH3 is released only upon O2-dependent reoxidation of the reduced cofactor. 8 In contrast, an addition-elimination mechanism (Scheme 1, path B), found to be a competing pathway for benzylamine deamination using pyrroloquinoline quinone as a model, 9 would predict simultaneous release of aldehyde and NH3 after anaerobic single turnover. The fact that secondary amines are not substrates for the enzyme10 might be rationalized on the basis that transamination in this case would require tautomerization between two iminium intermediates (see Scheme 2). However, we here communicate model study results demonstrating the occurrence of transamination for a secondary amine that led us to detect enzymatic processing in the form of a mechanism-based inactivation event.We recently reported a pivalamidoethyl-based model 1a which is active in the catalytic aerobic deamination of benzylamine in buffered aqueous acetonitrile, 4 whereas Mure and Klinman investigated the ability of various topaquinone models to catalyze aerobic deamination in anhydrous acetonitrile. 5 These initial model studies revealed several features of relevance to the enzymes, but the observation of catalytic turnover did not
