Pseudomonas aeruginosa D-arginine dehydrogenaie (PaDADH) catalyzes the oxidation of b-arginine to iminoarginine, which is non-enzymatically hydrolyzed to 2-ketoarginine and ammonia. Here, sitedirected mutagenesis and pH effects were used to investigate binding and catalysis of zwitterionic and cationic substrates for the enzyme. An unprotonated group with apparent pK(a) value >= 7.9 is required for binding D-arginine or D-lysine, but not D-methionine or D-leucine. This group is E87, as suggested by its replacement with leucine. An unprotonated group with pK(a) of 9.5, which persists in the H48F and E87L variants, is required for amine oxidation with all substrates. Since Y53 and Y249 were previously ruled out, the pK(a) is assigned to the substrate alpha-NH3+ group, which previous QM/MM and K-d pH-profile demonstrated to be protonated for preferred binding to the enzyme. Lack of pH effects on the Dk(red) with D-leucine established 9.5 as the intrinsic pK(a), and D-leucine as a non-sticky substrate. D-Arginine, D-lysine and D-methionine and their corresponding iminoproducts were significantly stickier than D-leucine, as indicated by apparent pK(a) values <9.5 in both k(cat)/K-m and k(cat). Restricted proton movements in catalysis were established from hollowed k(cat) pH profiles in wild-type PaDADH with D-lysine and in the H48F and E87L enzymes with D-arginine. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.
