title: The interaction of glutamate decarboxylase from Escherichia coli with substrate analogues modified at C-3 and C-4.
abstract: The interaction of glutamate decarboxylase with the aspartate analogues 3-arsonoalanine and 3-phosphonoalanine, with the glutamate analogues 2-amino-4-arsonobutyric acid and 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid, and with 4-(methylthio)-L-glutamic acid, both as a mixture of diastereoisomers and as the (2S,4R)-form, was studied. All these analogues were poor substrates for the enzyme and only weak inhibitors. Their decarboxylation was accompanied by transamination of the enzyme-bound pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) to pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP), thus inactivating the decarboxylase. With arsonoalanine only part of the PLP was converted into PMP.
