Mechanism and Stereochemistry of 5-Dehydroquinate Synthetase

Abstract

3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonic acid 7-phosphate (DAHP) labeled at C-7 randomly or stereospecifically with tritium and at C-1 with 14C was converted enzymically to 5-dehydroquinate. Tritium of all three substrates was completely retained in 5-dehydroquinate, in accord with formation of a non-ketonizing 6,7-enol intermediate. The 5-dehydroquinates were dehydrated to 5-dehydroshikimate by 5-dehydroquinate dehydratase, which is known to catalyze a cis-elimination. Only 5-dehydroquinate derived from [7-3H](7R)-DAHP lost its tritium in this dehydration, indicating that the configuration at C-7 was inverted in the conversion of DAHP to 5-dehydroquinate.
