The pre-steady-state reaction of indole and L-serine with the .alpha.2.beta.2 complex of Escherichia coli tryptophan synthase has been investigated under different premixing conditions with rapid-scanning stopped-flow (RSSF) UV-visible spectroscopy for the spectral range 300-550 nm. When .alpha.2.beta.2 was mixed with indole and L-serine, the reaction of .alpha.2.beta.2 was found to occur in three detectable relaxations (1/.tau.1 > 1/.tau.2 > 1/ .tau.3) with rate constants identical with the three relaxations seen in the partial reaction with L-serine [Drewe, W. F., Jr., and Dunn, M. F. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 3977-3987]. Kinetic isotope effects due to substitution of 2H for the .alpha.-1H of serine were found to be similar to the effects observed in the reaction with serine only. The observed spectral changes and isotope effects indicate that the aldimine of L-serine and PLP and the first quinoid derived from this external aldimine are transient species that accumulate during .tau.1. Conversion of these intermediates to the .alpha.-aminoacrylate Schiff base during .tau.2 and .tau.3 limits the rate of formation of the second quinoidal species (.lambda.max 476 nm) generated via C-C bond formation between indole and the .alpha.-aminoacrylate intermediate. The pre-steady-state reaction of the .alpha.2.beta.2-serine mixture with indole is comprised of four relaxations (1/.tau.1* > 1/.tau.2* > 1/.tau.3* > 1/.tau.4*). The 1/.tau.1* spectral changes occur within the mixing dead time and result from the perturbation of the spectrum of the .alpha.2.beta.2-serine mixture upon interaction with indole, while the appearance of the 476-nm species is characterized by 1/.tau.2*, 1/.tau.3*, and 1/.tau.4*. These experiments demonstate that the events that occur in .tau.1, .tau.2, and .tau.3 of the L-serine reaction are obligatory for the attainment of the steady state and that the product of the reaction of .alpha.2.beta.2 with L-serine is highly reactive toward indole.
