Determination of whether CO2or HCO3−is the substrate for an enzymatic carboxylation has generally been accomplished by taking advantage of the fact that equilibration of these two compounds requires more than a minute at temperatures below 15°C; thus different kinetics of carboxylation are obtained depending on whether CO2or HCO3−is used to initiate the reaction. We report a new method using13C18O2as substrate for determining the CO2HCO3−specificity of carboxylases. If CO2is the substrate, then the18O content of the13C-containing product is the same as that of the13CO2used, whereas if HCO3−is the substrate, the18O content is 2 3 that of the starting material. The method is independent of the detailed kinetics of the CO2HCO3−interconversion and independent of the presence of contaminating unlabeled CO2or HCO3−. Isotopic analysis is accomplished by13C NMR. The method has been used to confirm that HCO3−is the substrate for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. Studies of oxygen-18 isotope shifts in phosphorus NMR spectra have permitted confirmation of the observation that label is transferred from HC18O3−into Piduring the carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate.
