IUBMB CommentsA pyridoxal-phosphate protein, requiring K+. The enzyme cleaves a carbon-carbon bond, releasing indole and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia. The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalysed by EC 3.5.99.10, 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase. Also catalyses 2,3-elimination and beta-replacement reactions of some indole-substituted tryptophan analogues of L-cysteine, L-serine and other 3-substituted amino acids.

L-tryptophan + H2O = indole + pyruvate + NH3
an active site base is essential for activity, and alpha-deuterated substrate exhibits modest primary isotope effects on kcat and kcat/Km, suggesting that substrate deprotonation is partially rate-limiting. Pre-steady state kinetics with enzyme TIL show rapid formation of an external aldimine intermediate, followed by deprotonation to give a quinonoid intermediate absorbing at about 500 nm. The mechanism of TIL requires both substrate strain and acid/base catalysis, and substrate strain is probably responsible for the very high substrate specificity of TIL. Acid-base catalysis mechanism of TIL, overview. The indole ring is preorganized into the active conformation before alpha-deprotonation occurs

OIA, transition state analogue, the reaction of enzyme TIL mutant Y72F with OIA is accompanied by the appearance of intense absorption at 509 nm which may be explained by the formation of a quinonoid intermediate, transformation of the external aldimine into the quinonoid intermediate implies the transfer of alpha-proton to the base-acceptor in the active site. Oxindolyl-L-alanine also inhibits the enzyme
