Effect of pH on the interaction of benzoate and D-amino acid oxidase.
The kinetic and equilibrium dissociation constants of the reversible binding of benzoate to hog kidney D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) were studied at 19 degrees C over the pH range 5.3-10.5 by means of a stopped-flow apparatus and spectrophotometric titrations. A simple bimolecular reaction of the form second order-first order was observed; a two-step reaction was seen. Analysis of the pH dependence of the bimolecular rate constants and equilibrium dissociation constants is consistent with three ionizable groups which are important for benzoate binding. The pK values of the enzyme-related ionization are 6.3, 9.2, and 9.6. Analysis of the change in extinction coefficient at 360 nm indicates the pK of 9.6 can be assigned to the 3-imino group of the enzyme-bound flavin. The effect of benzoate on the apparent pK for the ionization of the 3-imino group of the enzyme-bound Fad has been reexamined. The presence of benzoate causes an apparent shift of this ionization from a pK value of 9.6 to 10.7.
