The X-ray crystallographic structure for the adduct of an activator with human carbonic anhydrase isozyme I (hCA I) is reported. L-Histidine binds deep within the enzyme active site, participating in a network of hydrogen bonds involving its carboxylate moiety and the zinc-bound water molecule, as well as the imidazole of His200, being in van der Waals contacts with Thr199, His200, His64, and His67. This binding is very different from that to the other major cytosolic isozyme hCA II. 相似文献

An activation study of mammalian carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms I-XIV with D- and L-tryptophan has been performed both by means of kinetic and X-ray crystallographic techniques. These compounds show a time dependent activity against isozyme CA II, with activation constants of 1.13 microM for L-Trp and 0.37 microM for D-Trp, respectively, after 24 h of incubation between enzyme and activator. The high resolution X-ray crystal structure of the hCA II-D-Trp adduct revealed the activator to bind in a totally unprecedented way to the enzyme active site as compared to histamine, L-/D-Phe, L-/D-His or L-adrenaline. D-Trp is anchored at the edge of the CA II active site entrance, strongly interacting with amino acid residues Asp130, Phe131 and Gly132 as well as with a loop of a second symmetry related protein molecule from the asymmetric unit, by means of hydrogen bonds and several weak van der Waals interactions involving Glu234, Gly235, Glu236 and Glu238. Thus, a second activator binding site (B) within the CA II cavity has been detected, where only D-Trp was shown so far to bind, in addition to the activator binding site A, in which histamine, L-/D-Phe, and L-/D-His are bound. These findings explain the strong affinity of D-Trp for CA II and may be useful for designing novel classes of CA activators by using this compound as lead molecule. 相似文献

Based on the X-ray crystallographic structure of the adduct of human carbonic anhydrase II (hCA II) with the weak activator histamine (Briganti, F., Mangani, S., Orioli, P., Scozzafava, A., Vernaglione, G. and Supuran, C.T. (1997) Biochemistry, 36, 10,384-10,392), a novel class of tight-binding CA activators was designed by using histamine (Hst) as lead molecule. Thus, N-1-tritylsulfenyl Hst was synthesized by reaction of Hst with tetrabromophthalic anhydride followed by protection of its imidazole moiety with tritylsulfenyl chloride. After hydrazinolysis, it afforded a key intermediate which was derivatized at the aliphatic amino group. Reaction of the key intermediate with 4-fluorophenylsulfonylureido amino acids (fpu-AA) or 2-toluenesulfonylureido amino acids (ots-AA) in the presence of carbodiimides, afforded after deprotection, a series of compounds with the general formula fpu/ots-AA-Hst (fpu = 4-FC6H4SO2NHCO; ots = 2-MeC6H4SO2NHCO). Some structurally related dipeptides with the general formula fpu/ots-AA1-AA2-Hst (AA, AA1 and AA2 represent amino acyl moieties), were also prepared, by a strategy similar to that used for the simple amino acyl compounds above. The new derivatives proved to be efficient in vitro activators of three CA isozymes. Best activity was shown against hCA I and bCA IV, for which some of the new compounds (such as the Lys, Arg, His or the dipeptide derivatives) showed affinities in the 2-12 nm range (h = human; b = bovine isozymes). hCA II was on the other hand somehow less prone to activation by the new derivatives, which possessed affinities around 30-60 nM for this isozyme. Ex vivo experiments showed some of the new activators to strongly enhance red cell CA activity (180-230%) after incubation with human erythrocytes. This new class of CA activators might lead to the development of drugs/diagnostic tools for the CA deficiency syndrome, a genetic disease of bone, brain and kidneys. 相似文献

A series of 20 histamine Schiff base was synthesised by reaction of histamine, a well known carbonic anhydrase (CA, E.C 4.2.2.1.) activator pharmacophore, with substituted aldehydes. The obtained histamine Schiff bases were assayed as activators of five selected human (h) CA isozymes, the cytosolic hCA I, hCA II, and hCA VII, the membrane-anchored hCA IV and transmembrane hCA IX. Some of these compounds showed efficient activity (in the nanomolar range) against the cytosolic isoform hCA VII, which is a key CA enzyme involved in brain metabolism. Moderate activity was observed against hCA I and hCA IV (in the nanomolar to low micromolar range). The structure–activity relationship for activation of these isoforms with the new histamine Schiff bases is discussed in detail based on the nature of the aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic moiety present in the aldehyde fragment of the molecule, which may participate in diverse interactions with amino acid residues at the entrance of the active site, where activators bind, and which is the most variable part among the different CA isoforms. 相似文献

The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) fluoxetine, sertraline and citalopram have been investigated for their ability to activate two carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, hCA I and hCA II, in parallel with two standard activators for which the X-ray structure (in complex with isozyme II) has been resolved: histamine and phenylalanine. All three SSRI activated both isozymes with potencies comparable to that of the standards although the profile was different: for hCA I, best activators were fluoxetine and histamine, with citalopram and sertraline showing weaker activity. For hCA II, the best activators were phenylalanine and citalopram, and the weakest histamine and sertraline, whereas fluoxetine showed an intermediate behavior. These results suggest that SSRI efficacy in major depression complicating Alzheimer's disease may be partly due to their ability to activate CA isozymes and may lead to the development of potent activators for the therapy of diseases associated with significant decreases in brain CA activity. 相似文献

The secretory isozyme of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1), hCA VI, has been cloned, expressed, and purified in a bacterial expression system. The kinetic parameters for the CO(2) hydration reaction proved hCA VI to possess a k(cat) of 3.4 x 10(5)s(-1) and k(cat)/K(M) of 4.9 x 10(7)M(-1)s(-1) (at pH 7.5 and 20 degrees C). hCA VI has a significant catalytic activity for the physiological reaction, of the same order of magnitude as the ubiquitous isoform CA I or the transmembrane, tumor-associated isozyme CA IX. A series of amino acids and amines were shown to act as CA VI activators, with variable efficacies. l-His, l-Trp, and dopamine showed weak CA VI activating effects (K(A)s in the range of 21-42 microM), whereas d-His, d-Phe, l-DOPA, l-Trp, serotonin, and some pyridyl-alkylamines were better activators, with K(A)s in the range of 13-19 microM. The best CA VI activators were l-Phe, d-DOPA, l-Tyr, 4-amino-l-Phe, and histamine, with K(A)s in the range of 1.23-9.31 microM. All these activators enhance k(cat), having no effect on K(M), participating thus in the rate determining step in the catalytic cycle, the proton transfer reactions between the enzyme active site and the environment. 相似文献

Activation of the human carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes I, II (cytosolic) and IX (transmembrane, tumor-associated isoform) with a series of arylsulfonylhydrazido-l-histidines incorporating 4-substituted-phenyl, pentafluorophenyl- and β-naphthyl moieties was investigated. The compounds showed a weak hCA I activation profile, but were more efficient as hCA II and IX activators. The 4-iodophenyl-substituted derivative behaved as a strong and isozyme selective hCA II activator, with an activation constant of 0.21 μM. This is the first isoform-selective, potent CA activator reported to date. 相似文献

The mitochondrial isozymes of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1), hCA VA and hCA VB, were investigated for activation with a series of amino acids and amines. D-His, L-DOPA, histamine, dopamine, and 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine were excellent hCA VA activators, with KAs in the range of 10-130 nM. Good hCA VB activating effects were identified for L-His, D-Phe, D-DOPA, L-Trp, L-Tyr, serotonin, and 2-(2-aminoethyl)-pyridine, with KAs in the range of 44-110 nM. All these activators enhanced kcat, having no effect on KM, favoring thus the rate-determining step in the catalytic cycle, the proton transfer reactions between the active site and environment. The activation pattern of the two mitochondrial isoforms is very different from each other and as compared to those of the cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II. 相似文献

Catalysis by the zinc metalloenzyme human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) is limited in maximal velocity by proton transfer between His64 and the zinc-bound solvent molecule. Asn62 extends into the active site cavity of HCA II adjacent to His64 and has been shown to be one of several hydrophilic residues participating in a hydrogen-bonded solvent network within the active site. We compared several site-specific mutants of HCA II with replacements at position 62 (Ala, Val, Leu, Thr, and Asp). The efficiency of catalysis in the hydration of CO 2 for the resulting mutants has been characterized by (18)O exchange, and the structures of the mutants have been determined by X-ray crystallography to 1.5-1.7 A resolution. Each of these mutants maintained the ordered water structure observed by X-ray crystallography in the active site cavity of wild-type HCA II; hence, this water structure was not a variable in comparing with wild type the activities of mutants at residue 62. Crystal structures of wild-type and N62T HCA II showed both an inward and outward orientation of the side chain of His64; however, other mutants in this study showed predominantly inward (N62A, N62V, N62L) or predominantly outward (N62D) orientations of His64. A significant role of Asn62 in HCA II is to permit two conformations of the side chain of His64, the inward and outward, that contributes to maximal efficiency of proton transfer between the active site and solution. The site-specific mutant N62D had a mainly outward orientation of His64, yet the difference in p K a between the proton donor His64 and zinc-bound hydroxide was near zero, as in wild-type HCA II. The rate of proton transfer in catalysis by N62D HCA II was 5% that of wild type, showing that His64 mainly in the outward orientation is associated with inefficient proton transfer compared with His64 in wild type which shows both inward and outward orientations. These results emphasize the roles of the residues of the hydrophilic side of the active site cavity in maintaining efficient catalysis by carbonic anhydrase. 相似文献

Farnesyltransferase (FT) inhibitors can suppress tumor cell proliferation without substantially interfering with normal cell growth, thus holding promise for cancer treatment. A structure-based approach to the design of improved FT inhibitors relies on knowledge of the conformational flexibility of the zinc-containing active site of FT. Although several X-ray structures of FT have been reported, detailed information regarding the active site conformational flexibility of the enzyme is still not available. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of FT can offer the requisite information, but have not been applied due to a lack of effective methods for simulating the four-ligand coordination of zinc in proteins. Here, we report in detail the problems that occurred in the conventional MD simulations of the zinc-bound FT and a solution to these problems by employing a simple method that uses cationic dummy atoms to impose orientational requirement for zinc ligands. A successful 1.0 ns (1.0 fs time step) MD simulation of zinc-bound FT suggests that nine conserved residues (Asn127alpha, Gln162alpha, Asn165alpha, Gln195alpha, His248beta, Lys294beta, Leu295beta, Lys353beta, and Ser357beta) in the active site of mammalian FT are relatively mobile. Some of these residues might be involved in the ligand-induced active site conformational rearrangement upon binding and deserve attention in screening and design of improved FT inhibitors for cancer chemotherapy. 相似文献

The 2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium derivative of histamine is an effective activator of the zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). However, unlike other CA activators, which bind at the entrance of the active site cavity, an X-ray crystal structure of hCA II in complex with the 1-[2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-ethyl]-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium salt evidenced a binding mode never observed before either for activators or inhibitors of this enzyme, with the 2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium ring pointing towards the metal ion deep within the enzyme cavity, and several strong hydrophobic interactions stabilizing the adduct. Indeed, incubation of the activator with the enzyme for several days leads to potent inhibitory effects. This is the first example of a CA activator which after a longer contact with the enzyme behaves as an inhibitor. 相似文献

Reaction of histamine (Hst) with tetrabromophthalic anhydride and protection of its imidazole moiety with tritylsulfenyl chloride, followed by hydrazinolysis, afforded N-1-tritylsulfenyl-histamine, a key intermediate which was further derivatized at its aminoethyl moiety. Reaction of the key intermediate with N-Boc-amino acids/dipeptides (Boc-AA) in the presence of carbodiimides afforded, after deprotection of the imidazolic and amino moieties, a series of compounds with the general formula AA-Hst (AA=amino acyl; dipeptidyl). The new derivatives were assayed as activators of three carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, hCA I, hCA II (cytosolic forms) and bCA IV (membrane-bound form). Efficient activation was observed against all three isozymes, but especially against hCA I and bCA IV, with affinities in the nanomolar range for the best compounds. hCA II was, on the other hand, activatable with affinities around 10–20 nM. This new class of CA activators might lead to the development of drugs/diagnostic agents for the CA deficiency syndrome, a genetic disease of bone, brain and kidneys. 相似文献

The activation of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) with L-adrenaline and histamine has been investigated by kinetic and X-ray crystallographic studies. L-Adrenaline behaves as a potent activator of isozyme CA I (activation constant of 90 nM), being a much weaker activator of isozyme CA II (activation constant of 96 microM). Isoforms CA IV, VA, VII, and XIV were activated by L-adrenaline with K(A)s in the range of 36-63 microM. The X-ray crystal structure of the CA II-L-adrenaline adduct revealed that the activator plugs the entrance of the active site cavity, obstructing it almost completely. 相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to change three amino acid residues involved in the binding of inhibitors (Asn67Ile; Gln92Val and Leu204Ser) within the active site of human carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) II (hCA II). Residues 67, 92 and 204 were changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic ones, and vice versa. The Asn67Ile and Leu204Ser mutants showed similar k(cat)/K(M) values compared to the wild type (wt) enzyme, whereas the Gln92Val mutant was around 30% less active as a catalyst for CO(2) hydration to bicarbonate compared to the wt protein. Affinity for sulfonamides/sulfamates was decreased in all three mutants compared to wt hCA II. The effect was stronger for the Asn67Ile mutant (the closest residue to the zinc ion), followed by the Gln92Val mutant (residue situated in the middle of the active site) and weakest for the Leu204Ser mutant, an amino acid situated far away from the catalytic metal ion, at the entrance of the cavity. This study shows that small perturbations within the active site architecture have influences on the catalytic efficiency but dramatically change affinity for inhibitors among the CA enzymes, especially when the mutated amino acid residues are nearby the catalytic metal ion. 相似文献

By using phthalimido-substituted aromatic sufonamides as lead molecules, a series of new sulfonamides incorporating ortho-benzenedisulfonimide moieties have been synthesized and tested against the human (h) cytosolic carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes hCA I and hCA II and the transmembrane, tumor-associated isozymes hCA IX and hCA XII. All these compounds showed Ki values lower than 100 nM and many of them showed better Kis than the reference compound acetazolamide, a clinically used sulfonamide. The tumor-associated isozymes were better inhibited than the cytosolic ones. A molecular docking within the active site of some CA isoforms, such as hCA I, explained these findings, as the benzenedisulfonimide moiety makes favorable interactions (hydrogen bonds) with amino acid residues involved in binding of inhibitors, such as Gln92, His67, and His64. 相似文献

The X-ray crystal structure for the adduct of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) II with a topically acting antiglaucoma sulfonamide (the 2-N,N-diethylaminoethylamide of 5-(4-carboxybenzenesulfonamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide), has been resolved at a resolution of 1.6A. This compound is a very potent inhibitor of the physiologically most relevant isozyme hCA II for the secretion of aqueous humor within the eye K(I) of 1.4 nM), and in animal models of glaucoma showed very effective intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering after topical administration. Surprisingly, the inhibitor bound within the enzyme active site is in the sulfonylimido-4H- delta(2)-1,3,4-thiadiazoline tautomeric form. The inhibitor is directly bound to the Zn(II) ion of the enzyme through the deprotonated primary sulfonamide moiety, participating to the classical hydrogen bond network involving residues of the zinc-binding function and Thr 199 and Glu 106. The 1,3,4-thiadiazoline fragment of the inhibitor makes two hydrogen bonds with the active site residue Thr 200, the secondary sulfonamide moiety makes two hydrogen bonds involving a water molecule and the residue Gln 92, whereas the phenyl ring of the inhibitor participates to an edge-to-face interaction with the phenyl ring of Phe 131, the two cycles being almost perfectly perpendicular to each other. The tertiary amine fragment of the carboxamido tail and the carboxamido moiety itself make hydrogen bonds with water molecules present at the rim of the active site entrance and van der Waals contacts with His 4, Trp 5, and Phe 20. All these multiple interactions never evidenced previously in CA-sulfonamide complexes, explain the very high affinity of this inhibitor for the hCA II active site and may allow further optimization of this class of inhibitors. 相似文献

Four human (h) carbonic anhydrase isoforms (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), hCA I, II, IV, and VII, were investigated for their activation profile with piperazines belonging to various classes, such as N-aryl-, N-alkyl-, N-acyl-piperazines as well as 2,4-disubstituted derivatives. As the activation mechanism involves participation of the activator in the proton shuttling between the zinc-coordinated water molecule and the external milieu, these derivatives possessing diverse basicity and different scaffolds were appropriate for being investigated as CA activators (CAAs). Most of these derivatives showed CA activating properties against hCA I, II, and VII (cytosolic isoforms) but were devoid of activity against the membrane-associated hCA IV. For hCA I, the KAs were in the range of 32.6–131?µM; for hCA II of 16.2–116?µM, and for hCA VII of 17.1–131?µM. The structure-activity relationship was intricate and not easy to rationalize, but the most effective activators were 1-(2-piperidinyl)-piperazine (KA of 16.2?µM for hCA II), 2-benzyl-piperazine (KA of 17.1?µM for hCA VII), and 1-(3-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)propan-1-one (KA of 32.6?µM for hCA I). As CAAs may have interesting pharmacologic applications in cognition and for artificial tissue engineering, investigation of new classes of activators may be crucial for this relatively new research field. 相似文献

Reaction of the key intermediate with 4-tosylureido amino acids/dipeptides (ts-AA) in the presence of carbodiimides, afforded after deprotection of the imidazole moiety, a series of compounds with the general formula ts-AA-Hst (ts=4-MeC(6) H(4) SO(2) NHCO). Some structurally related dipeptide derivatives with the general formula ts-AA1-AA2-Hst, were also prepared, by in a similar way to the amino acyl compounds mentioned above. The new derivatives were examined as activators of three carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, hCA I, hCA II (cytosolic forms) and bCA IV (membrane-bound form). Efficient activation was observed against all three isozymes, but especially against hCA I and bCA IV, with affinities in the 1-10 nanomolar range for the best compounds. hCA II was on the other hand activatable with affinities around 20-50 nM. This new class of CA activators might lead to the development of drugs/diagnostic agents for the CA deficiency syndrome, a genetic disease of bone, brain and kidneys. 相似文献

A series of 4-substituted-spinaceamine (4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-imidazolo[4,5-c]pyridine) were prepared from histamine and aromatic aldehydes Schiff bases, and investigated as activators of four human (h) carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms, the cytosolic hCA I, II and VII, and the membrane-associated hCA IV. All isoforms were effectively activated by the new derivatives, and the nature of the moiety in position 4 of the bicyclic system was the factor influencing activation properties against all isoforms. For hCA I, these compounds showed KAs in the range of 2.52–21.5?µM, the most effective activator being 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-spinaceamine. For hCA II the activation constants ranged between 0.60 and 17.2?µM, with 4-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)- spinaceamine the best activator. Affinity for hCA IV was in the range of 0.52–63.8?µM, and the same compound as for hCA II was the most effective activator. The most sensitive isoform for activation was the brain-associated hCA VII, for which KAs in the range of 82?nM–4.26?µM were observed. Effective hCA VII activators were the (2-bromophenyl)-, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl- and furyl-substituted spineaceamines (KAs of 82–95?nM). As CA activators may have pharmacologic applications in various fields, this work provides interesting derivatives for further studies. 相似文献
