Revised Manuscript Received January 19, 1995® abstract: The origin of charge transfer bands that develop on reaction of Old Yellow Enzyme with,/3-unsaturated cyclic ketonessuch as 3-oxodecalin-4-ene (ODE, numbered according to the convention for steroids), 3-oxodecalin-4-ene-10-carboxaldehyde (ODBC), and 2-cyclohexenone is shown to be due to the aromatization of ODE and ODBC to 3-hydroxy-6, 7, 8, 9-tetrahy dronaphthalene (HTN) and of 2-cyclohexenone to phenol. The aromatization of ODBC to HTN is stereospecific and involves the trans dehydrogenation of the 1/3, 2a hydrogens. The aromatization occurs under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions. With the exception of ODBC under aerobic conditions, the aromatization of these substrates is accompanied by a dismutation reaction in which the olefinic bond of a second molecule of each substrate is reduced to give the saturated cyclic ketone. Molecular oxygen may serve as the electron acceptor with ODEG and some other substrates under aerobic reaction conditions. The dismutation reaction involves an overall sequence of hydride transfer from one substrate molecule to the/8-carbon of a second substrate molecule along with a solvent proton uptake by the-carbon. 19-Nortestosterone is aromatized to/3-estradiol; however, other 3-oxo-A4-steroids such as progesterone, testosterone, and androstene-3, 17-dione bind tightly to the enzyme but are not aromatized. The NADPH-dependent reduction of the olefinic bond of,/3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is limited to aldehydes and ketones.,/3-Unsaturated acids, esters, amides, and nitriles are not reduced. The reduction of the olefinic bond of ODE or cinnamaldehyde by NADPH occurs by an overall sequence of hydride transfer from the reduced pyridine nucleotide to the/8-carbon of the,/3-unsaturatedcarbonyl compound and a solvent proton uptake by the-carbon. The 4-pro-hydride of NADPH is transferred in the reduction reaction. Structure-function relationships in the NADPH-dependent reduction of,/3-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones indicate that increasing alkyl substitution at the/8-carbon results in marked decrease in the rate of reduction of the olefinic bond, consistent with a steric hindrance to hydride transfer at the/3-carbon.Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE), 1 the first discovered fla-voprotein, isolated originally from Brewer’s Bottom Yeast (Warburg & Christian, 1933) has had a long and illustrious history in the evolution of our understanding of proteins as enzymes and the role of cofactors in enzymology. OYE has in recent years been shownby protein purification and molecular biological techniques to consist of several isoforms, encoded by separate genes (Miura et al., 1986; Saito et al., 1991; Stottet al., 1993). The crystal structure of OYE 1 has been solved at a resolution of 2.0 Á (Fox & Karplus, 1993, 1994). Despite an extensive knowledge of the physical and biochemical properties of this enzyme, its physiological
