Carboxypeptidase A [bovine pancreas] catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-(N-hippurylthioglycyl)-3-phenyl-L-alanine, O-(N-hippurylglycyl)-3-phenyl-L-lactic acid, and O-(N-hippurylthioglycyl)-3-phenyl-L-lactic acid, respectively, the thiopeptide, ester and thionester analogs of its specific tripeptide substrate N-(N-hippurylglycyl)-3-phenyl-L-alanine. Both kcat and kcat/Km are equal for the ester and thionester substrates, reflecting the equal nonenzymic reactivities for these 2 compounds. However, kcat/Km for the thiopeptide is only 0.0009 as large as that for its peptide counterpart. This difference, which cannot be due to any inherent reactivity differences between amides and thioamides, lies in kcat, since thiopeptide and peptide bind equally well. The controlling pKa of the kcat- and kcat/Km-pH profiles match those previously observed for specific ester and peptide substrates. Since rotation about the thioamide bond is about 3 kcal mol-1 more difficult than rotation about a peptide bond, these data support a mechanism involving rate-determining bond rotation in peptidase, but not esterase, activity.
