Serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (SGAT) from Hyphomicrobium methylovorum is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of L-serine and glyoxylate to hydroxypyruvate and glycine. The primary deuterium isotope effect using L-serine 2-D is one on (V/K)(serine) and V in the steady state. Pre-steady-state experiments also indicate that there is no primary deuterium isotope effect with L-serine 2-D. The results suggest there is no rate limitation by abstraction of the alpha proton of L-serine in the SGAT reaction. In the steady-state a solvent deuterium isotope effect of about 2 was measured on (V/K)(L-serine) and (V/K)(ketomalonate) and about 5.5 on V. Similar solvent isotope effects were observed in the pre-steady-state for the natural substrates and the alternative substrate ketomalonate. In the pre-steady-state, no reaction intermediates typical of PLP enzymes were observed with the substrates L-serine, glyoxylate, and hydroxypyruvate. The data suggest that breakdown and formation of the ketimine intermediate is the primary rate-limiting step with the natural substrates. In contrast, using the alternative substrate ketomalonate, pre-steady-state experiments display the transient formation of a 490 nm absorbing species typical of a quinonoid intermediate. The solvent isotope effect results also suggest that with ketomalonate as substrate protonation at C-alpha is the slowest step in the SGAT reaction. This is the first report of a rate-limiting protonation of a quinonoid at C-alpha of the external Schiff base in an aminotransferase reaction.
