Previous work has demonstrated that the ferric form of soybean lipoxygenase-1 will catalyze an elimination reaction on 12-iodo-cis-9-octadecenoic acid (12-IODE) to produce 9, 11-octadecadienoic acid and iodide ion. Elimination is accompanied by irreversible inactivation of the enzyme on 1 out of 10 turnovers. In the present work, 11,11-dideuterio-12-IODE (D(2)-12-IODE) was synthesized and used to demonstrate that both the elimination reaction and inactivation of the enzyme exhibit very large kinetic isotope effects. The rates with the deuterated compound are so low that the isotope effects are difficult to quantify, but they appear to be comparable to the isotope effects previously observed for the normal reaction catalyzed by lipoxygenase and much larger than can be explained by zero-point energy considerations. ESR spectroscopy was used to demonstrate that 12-IODE can reduce ferric lipoxygenase to the ferrous form, and a large isotope effect on this process was observed with D(2)-12-IODE. It is proposed that the pathway leading to reduction and inactivation by 12-IODE is initiated by homolytic cleavage of the C(11)-H bond. Elimination could be initiated either by homolytic or by heterolytic cleavage of this bond. The results suggest that very large isotope effects may be a general feature of C-H bond cleavages catalyzed by this enzyme.
