C-H bond breakage by tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ)-dependent methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) occurs by vibrationally assisted tunneling (Basran, J., Sutcliffe, M. J., and Scrutton, N. S. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 3218--3222). We show here a similar mechanism in TTQ-dependent aromatic amine dehydrogenase (AADH). The rate of TTQ reduction by dopamine in AADH has a large, temperature independent kinetic isotope effect (KIE = 12.9 +/- 0.2), which is highly suggestive of vibrationally assisted tunneling. H-transfer is compromised with benzylamine as substrate and the KIE is deflated (4.8 +/- 0.2). The KIE is temperature-independent, but reaction rates are strongly dependent on temperature. With tryptamine as substrate reaction rates can be determined only at low temperature as C-H bond cleavage is rapid, and an exceptionally large KIE (54.7 +/- 1.0) is observed. Studies with deuterated tryptamine suggest vibrationally assisted tunneling is the mechanism of deuterium and, by inference, hydrogen transfer. Bond cleavage by MADH using a slow substrate (ethanolamine) occurs with an inflated KIE (14.7 +/- 0.2 at 25 degrees C). The KIE is temperature-dependent, consistent with differential tunneling of protium and deuterium. Our observations illustrate the different modes of H-transfer in MADH and AADH with fast and slow substrates and highlight the importance of barrier shape in determining reaction rate.
