Thiorphan, tiopronin, and related analogs as substrates and inhibitors of peptidylglycine α‐amidating monooxygenase (PAM)

Abstract: Peptidyglycine a-amidating monooxygenase is a copper-and zinc-dependent, bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of glycine-extended peptides or N-acylglycines to the corresponding amides and glyoxylate. This reaction is a key step in the biosynthesis of bioactive a-amidated peptides and, perhaps, the primary fatty acids amides also. Two clinically useful N-acylglycines are thiorphan and tiopronin, each with a thiol moiety attached to the acyl group. We report here that thiorphan and tiopronin are subs… Show more

“…The dependence of the initial rate of O 2 consumption on the initial concentration of substrate, at one fixed concentration of ascorbate and O 2 , is well-described by the standard Michealis-Menten equation yielding the steady-state kinetic values for K M,app , V M,app , and (V/K) app included in Table 1. While we have not assayed for glyoxylate or amide formation in each case, previous work on PHM strongly suggests that the binding of the compounds in Table 1 do not simply stimulate the ascorbate-dependent consumption of O 2 , but instead the compounds are oxidized to the amide and glyoxylate 23,24…”

“…Since these earlier studies, we23 and others24 have shown that relatively simple N -acyl- and N -arylglycines are PHM substrates with (V/K) app values comparable to the peptide substrates and three dimensional structures of oxidized and reduced PHM have been elucidated to provide a framework for structure-activity data 25. In this report, we further define how simple, substrate-like compounds bind to rat PAM with surprisingly strong affinity.…”

“…Copper-free PHM is catalytically inactive 53,62,78 . Cinnamates are known to form complexes with both Cu(I) 79,80 and Cu(II) 81 and copper removal/chelation has been attributed to specific PHM 61 and DβM inhibitors 68 . PHM inactivation requires turnover; thus, inactivation of PHM by cinnamate could result from the formation of a relatively high affinity cinnamate–Cu(I) complex.…”

“…Initial velocities were measured at varying concentrations of 2-aminophenol and oxygen. Initial rates were measured by following the tyrosinase-dependent consumption of O 2 using a Yellow Springs Instrument Model 5300 oxygen monitor interfaced with a personal computer using a Dataq Instruments analogue/digital converter (model DI-158RS) interfaced to Microsoft Excel through the Windaq module, modified from McIntyre et al [44]. Using a Maxtec Low flow oxygen blender, in situ [O 2 ] was changed by varying the percent mixtures of oxygen and argon standardized to air-saturated distilled water at 37.0 ± 0.1 °C.…”
