Abstract
Bromopyruvate inactivates 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate-6-P aldolase by a mechanism in which the reagent is incorporated by esterification. A tryptic peptide derived from inactivated enzyme has the sequence Thr-Leu-Glu*-Val-Thr-Leu-Arg. Derivatization of the γ-carboxyl of the single glutamate by bromopyruvate was confirmed by Lossen rearrangement in which the glutamate γ-ester was converted to 2,4-diamino butyrate.
