Revised Manuscript Received October 25, 1993® abstract: Tyrosine 14 of A5-3-ketosteroid isomerase plays an important role in the function of the enzyme, since itsreplacement by phenylalanine results in a decrease in£ ca, by a factor of 1CH· 7. This resultand the fact that this residue resides in the enzyme’s substrate binding site and is in close proximity to C-2 of the bound steroid suggests that it functions as an electrophile in the catalytic mechanism by protonation of or hydrogen bonding to the C-3 carbonyl oxygen of the substrate. In order to obtain more information about the role of tyrosine 14, we have prepared a modified form of the enzyme in which tyrosine 14 has been substantially replaced in vivo by exogenously supplied 3-fluorotyrosine, a tyrosine derivative in which the pKf of the phenol hydroxyl should be decreased by about 1.5 log units. Site specificity of this modification has been ensuredby mutation of the codons for the nonessential tyrosines 55 and 88 to phenylalanine. We find that replacement of tyrosine 14 by 3-fluorotyrosine in the Y55. 88F modifiedform of the isomerase results in a 4-fold decrease in kCit-We interpret this result in terms of a mechanism in which the transition state for enolization is dienolate-like, characterized by relatively little proton transfer from tyrosine 14 in the transition state, and the intermediate in the overall reaction is dienol-like. An alternative mechanism in which the intermediate is stabilized by a short, strong hydrogen bond can also be consistent with the data.The A5-3-ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) 1 from Comamonas (formerly Pseudomonas) testosteroni (Tamaoka et al., 1987) catalyzes the transfer of the 4/3 proton of the substrate to the 6/3 position in the product. Concomitant with this transfer is the migration of the 5, 6 double bond of the substrate to the
