Esherichia intermedia A-21의 균체(菌體)에서 얻은 ${eta}-tyrosinase$의 ${alpha},{eta}$-탈리작용(脫離作用)의 역(逆)반응을 이용하여 L-tyrosine, 2-chloro-L-tyrosine, 2-bromo-L-tyrosine 및 2-iodo-L-tyrosine을 효소합성하고 그들의 원소분석(元素分析)과 NMR-spectrum, Mass-spectrum 및 IR-spectrum을 측정하여 그 구조해석(構造解析)을 하였다. 또한 ${eta}-tyrosinase$에 의한 각(各) halogen화(化) tyrosine의 합성속도와 분해속도 그리고 halogen화(化) phenol의 ${eta}-tyrosinase$에 대한 저해작용(阻害作用) 및 2-bromotyrosine의 합성에서 m-bromophenol의 경시적(經時的) 첨가효과 등을 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) ${eta}-tyrosinase$를 이용하여 pyruvin산(酸), $NH_3$ 그리고 m-chlorophenol, m-bromophenol 및 m-iodophenol 등을 기질로 한 각(各) halogen화(化) tyrosine의 효소합성에서 m-chlorophenol에서 2-chloro-tyrosine은 약 15%, m-bromophenol에서 2-bromotyrosine은 약 13.8% 그리고 m-iodophenol에서 2-iodotyrosine은 약 9.8%의 회수율(回收率)로 각각 얻어졌었다. 2) ${eta}-tyrosinase$에 의한 tyrosine 및 halogen화(化) tyrosine의 합성에서 tyrosine의 합성속도를 100으로 하였을 때 2-chlorotyrosine은 28.2, 2-bromotyrosine은 8.13 그리고 2-iodotyrosine은 0.98의 상대속도를 보여 halogen화(化) tyrosine의 합성속도가 느렸다. 특히 Cl, Br, I의 순(順)으로 원자반경(原子半經)이 증가(增加)함에 따라서 halogen화(化) tyrosine의 합성속도가 저하(低下)되는 것이 인정(認定)되었다. 한편 3-iodotyrosine은 합성이 되지 않았다. 3) ${eta}-tyrosinase$에 의한 tyrosine의 분해속도를 100으로 하였을 때 2-chlorotyrosine은 70.7, 2-bromotyrosine은 39.0, 2-iodotyrosine은 12.6의 상대적인 분해속도를 보였다. 즉 Cl, Br, I의 순(順)으로 원자반경(原子半經)이 크고 전기음성도(電氣陰性度)가 적어짐에 따라서 분해속도가 저하(低下)되는 것이 분명(分明)하였다 그리고 역시 3-iodotyrosine은 분해를 받지 않았다. 4) ${eta}-tyrosinase$의 활성(活性)에 대하여 phenol은 현저한 조해작용(阻害作用)을 보였으며 o- 및 m-chlorophenol와 o-bromophenol의 조해(阻害)도 현저하였다. 반면 iodophenol의 조해(阻害)는 근소(僅少)하였으며 이들의 조해작용(阻害作用)을 Lineweaver-Burk plot법에 따라 측정한 결과 m-chlorophenol은 혼합형(混合型)의 조해작용(阻害作用)을 보였으며 그 Ki값은 $5.46{ imes}10^{-4}M$이였다. 5) ${eta}-tyrosinase$에 의한 2-bromotyrosine의 합성에서 기질인 m-bromophenol은 경시적(經時的)으로 소량(少量)씩 첨가하는 것이 효과적이었다. 6) ${eta}-tyrosinase$를 이용하여 pyruvin산(酸), $NH_3$ 및 각(各) halogen화(化) phenol에서 합성한 2-halogen화(化) tyrosine들을 각각(各各) 원소분석(元素分析)하고 또한 NMR-spectrum, Mass-spectrum 그리고 IR-spectrum 등으로 측정하여 그들의 구조(構造)를 해석(解析)한 결과 각각(各各) 2-chloro-L-tyrosine, 2-bromo-L-tyrosine 및 2-iodo-L-tyrosine 임을 인정(認定)할 수 있었다.
L-Tyrosine, 2-chloro-L-tyrosine, 2-bromo-L-tyrosine, and 2-iodo-L-tyrosine were synthesized by ${eta}-tyrosinase$ obtained from cells of Escherichia intermedia A-21, through the reversal of the ${alpha},{eta}-elimination$ reaction, and their molecular structures were analyzed by element analysis, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy. Rates of synthesis and hydrolysis of halogenated tyrosines by ${eta}-tyrosinase$, inhibition of the enzyme activity by halogenated phenols, and effects of addition of m-bromophenol on the synthesis of 2-bromotyrosine were determined. The results obtained were as follows: 1) In the synthesis of halogenated tyrosines, the yield of 2-chlorotyrosine from m-chlorophenol were approximately 15 per cent, that of 2-bromotyrosine from m-bromophenol 13.8 per cent, and that of 2-iodotyrosine from m-iodophenol 9.8 per cent. 2) Rate of synthesis of halogenated tyrosines by ${eta}-tyrosinase$ was slower than that of tyrosine and the rates were decreased in the order of chlorine, bromine and iodine, that is, by increasing the atomic radius. Relative rate of 2-chlorotyrosine synthesis was determined to be 28.2, that of 2-bromotyrosine to be 8.13, and that of 2-iodotyrosine to be 0.98, respectively, against 100 of tyrosine. However 3-iodotyrosine was not synthesized by the enzyme. 3) The relative rate of 2-chlorotyrosine hydrolysis by ${eta}-tyrosinase$ was 70.7, that of 2-bromotyrosine was 39.0, and that of 2-iodotyrosine was 12.6 against 100 of tyrosine, respectively. The rate of hydrolysis appeared to be decreased in the order of chlorine, bromine and iodine, that is, by increasing the atomic radius or by decreasing the electronegativity. But 3-iodotyrosine was not hydrolyzed by the enzyme. 4) The activity of ${eta}-tyrosinase$ was inhibited by phenol markedly. Of the halogenated phenols, o-, or m-chlorophenol and o-bromophenol gave marked inhibition on the enzyme action, however inhibition by iodophenol was not strong. Plotting by Lineweaver-Burk method, a mixed-type inhibition by m-chlorophenol was observed and its Ki value was found to be $5.46{ imes}10^{-4}M$. 5) During the synthesizing reaction of 2-bromotyrosine by the enzyme, sequential addition of substrate which was m-bromophenol with time intervals and in a small amount resulted in better yield of the product. 6) The halogenated tyrosines which were produced by ${eta}-tyrosinase$ from pyruvate, ammonia and m-halogenated phenols were analysed to determine their molecular structures by element analysis, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and IR spectroscopy. The result indicated that they were 2-chloro-L-tyrosine, 2-bromo-L-tyrosine, and 2-iodo-L-tyrosine, respectively.
