In order to probe the structural basis of stereoselectivity in theserine protease family, a seriesof enantiomeric boronic acidsRCH2CH(NHCOCH3)B(OH)2has been synthesized and kineticallycharacterized as transition-state analog inhibitors using-chymotrypsin and subtilisin Carlsberg as modelsystems. When the R-substituent in this series was changed from ap-chlorophenyl to a 1-naphthyl group,-chymotrypsin, but not subtilisin, reversed its usual preference forL-enantiomers and bound more tightlyto the D-enantiomer [Martichonok, V., & Jones, J. B.(1996) J. Am. Chem. Soc.118, 950-958]. Thestructural factors responsible for the differences in stereoselectivitybetween the two enzymes have beenexplored by X-ray crystallographic examination of subtilisin Carlsbergand -chymotrypsin complexesof the L- and D-enantiomers ofp-chlorophenyl and 1-naphthyl boronic acid derivatives.In both enzymes,the L-isomers of the inhibitors, which are more closelyrelated to the natural L-amino acidsubstrates,form tetrahedral adducts, covalently linking the central boron atom andO of the catalytic serine. TheD-isomers, however, differ in the way they interact withsubtilisin or -chymotrypsin. With subtilisin,both the D-p-chlorophenyl andD-1-naphthyl inhibitor complexes form covalent SerO-to-boron bonds,but with -chymotrypsin, the same inhibitors lead to noveltetrahedral adducts covalently linking bothSer195 O and His57 N2 covalently via theboron atom.
