Carbonic Anhydrase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii II. Requirements for Carbonic Anhydrase Induction

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in wild type cells of Chlamydomonasreinhardtii was low when cells were cultured under 2% CO₃ inthe light. When the gas phase was changed to air, CA activityincresaed as much as 20 fold over the next 24 hours. In contrast,CA activity did not change markedly in cells of the mutantspet 20-8 (PS II-negative), lip 10-2 (photophosphorylation-negative),and F60 (phosphoribulokinase-negative), when they were subjectedto the same induction regimen. DCMU (10^–5 M) and cydoheximide(3 µg/ml) severely inhibited the induction in wild typecells. No induction occured when CO₂ concentration was loweredin darkness. ³Present adress: Photoconversion Research Branch, Solar EnergyResearch Institute, Golden, Colorado 80401, USA.

Identification of Intracellular Carbonic Anhydrase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with a Carbonic Anhydrase-Directed Photoaffinity Label

A carbonic anhydrase (CA)-directed photoaffinity reagent, 125I-labeled p-aminomethylbenzenesulfonamide-4-azidosalicylamide,was synthesized and shown to derivatize periplasmic CA in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The photoderivatization of purified C. reinhardtii periplasmic CA or intact C. reinhardtii cells with the reagent resulted in the modification of the large (37 kD) subunit of the enzyme. Photoderivatization of proteins in lysed C. reinhardtii cells also resulted in the specific labeling of a polypeptide of 30 kD. Centrifugation of the cell extract prior to photoaffinity labeling revealed that the labeled peptide was present predominantly in a particulate fraction. The photoaffinity-labeled 30-kD polypeptide was not observed in extracts from a mutant of C. reinhardtii that is believed to be deficient in an intracellular form of CA. These results provide evidence that the 30-kD polypeptide, which is photoaffinity labeled in lysed C. reinhardtii cells, is an intracellular form of CA.     

Blue Light Induction of Carbonic Anhydrase Activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Blue light was specifically required for the induction of carbonicanhydrase (CA) activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The enhancingeffect of blue light (460 nm) was saturated at energy fluencerate as low as 0.6-0.8 W/m². The wavelength dependency curvehad a peak at 460 nm with no effect at wavelengths above 510nm, thus showing the strong similarities to other blue lightresponses in microalgae. CA induction was strongly inhibitedby UV irradiation at 280 nm. Experiments with the flavin quencher,potassium iodide, suggested that flavin is somehow involvedin CA induction. ¹On leave from the Institute of Biological Sciences, Collegeof Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines at Los Banos,4031 College, Laguna, Philippines.

Salt-Induced Dissociation of Carbonic Anhydrase from Intact Cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The extracellular carbonic anhydrase of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is dissociated from either intact or lysed cells by treatment with a 20 millimolar potassium phosphate buffer containing 0.4 molar KCI at pH 7.4. Electrophoretic analysis of proteins dissociated by the high salt treatment reveals that carbonic anhydrase comprises over 70% of the total released. These results suggest that the extracellular carbonic anhydrase in C. reinhardtii is bound to either the cell wall or plasma membrane through ionic interactions.     

Effect of Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors on Inorganic Carbon Accumulation by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Membrane-permeable and impermeable inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase have been used to assess the roles of extracellular and intracellular carbonic anhydrase on the inorganic carbon concentrating system in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Acetazolamide, ethoxzolamide, and a membrane-impermeable, dextran-bound sulfonamide were potent inhibitors of extracellular carbonic anhydrase measured with intact cells. At pH 5.1, where CO₂ is the predominant species of inorganic carbon, both acetazolamide and the dextran-bound sulfonamide had no effect on the concentration of CO₂ required for the half-maximal rate of photosynthetic O₂ evolution (K_0.5[CO₂]) or inorganic carbon accumulation. However, a more permeable inhibitor, ethoxzolamide, inhibited CO₂ fixation but increased the accumulation of inorganic carbon as compared with untreated cells. At pH 8, the K_0.5(CO₂) was increased from 0.6 micromolar to about 2 to 3 micromolar with both acetazolamide and the dextran-bound sulfonamide, but to a higher value of 60 micromolar with ethoxzolamide. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that CO₂ is the species of inorganic carbon which crosses the plasmalemma and that extracellular carbonic anhydrase is required to replenish CO₂ from HCO₃⁻ at high pH. These data also implicate a role for intracellular carbonic anhydrase in the inorganic carbon accumulating system, and indicate that both acetazolamide and the dextran-bound sulfonamide inhibit only the extracellular enzyme. It is suggested that HCO₃⁻ transport for internal accumulation might occur at the level of the chloroplast envelope.     

Synthesis and Degradation of Carbonic Anhydrase in a Synchronized Culture of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The biosynthesis and degradation of carbonic anhydrase (CA;EC 4.3.1.1 [EC] ) was investigated during the course of synchronousculture of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii,carried out under a regime of 12 h of light and 12 h of darknesswith bubbling of ordinary air. The enzymatic activity increasedlinearly during the light phase. A coordinate increase in thelevel of the 35-kDa mature CA polypeptide was demonstrated byimmunostaining after poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis andWestern blotting. Pulse-labeling with [¹⁴C]arginine followedby immunoprecipitation showed that the biosynthesis of the CApolypeptide is very active in the early light phase and rapidlydecreases after the middle of the light phase, indicating thatthe bio-synthetic activity does not reflect the quantity ofenzyme protein or the level of enzymatic activity. The 42-kDaprecursor but not the 35-kDa mature polypeptide was synthesizedin the dark. The 35-kDa polypeptide, pulse-labeled at the beginningof the light phase, was gradually degraded throughout the lightphase while it appeard to be stable in the dark. These resultssuggest that the messenger RNA coding for CA is present butits translation is limited in the dark. Normal translation ofmRNA and processing of the precursor to yield the holoenzymemay both require light. ¹Present address: Plant Laboratory, Kirin Brewery Co., Ltd.,Kitsuregawa-machi, Shioya-gun, Tochigi-ken, 329-314 Japan.

Release of Carbonic Anhydrase from the Cell Surface of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by Trypsin

Treatment with trypsin of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells grownin ordinary air (low-CO₂ cells) caused almost complete releaseof carbonic anhydrase (CA) into the suspending medium, but didnot affect the shape and kinesis of the cells. These resultsindicate that most of the CA exists on the cell surface of low-CO₂cells. The released CA has the same molecular weight, specificactivity and susceptibility to various CA inhibitors as thatpurified from non-treated low-CO₂ cells.

Periplasmic Carbonic Anhydrase Structural Gene (Cah1) Mutant in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

To survive in various conditions of CO₂ availability, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii shows adaptive changes, such as induction of a CO₂-concentrating mechanism, changes in cell organization, and induction of several genes, including a periplasmic carbonic anhydrase (pCA1) encoded by Cah1. Among a collection of insertionally generated mutants, a mutant has been isolated that showed no pCA1 protein and no Cah1 mRNA. This mutant strain, designated cah1-1, has been confirmed to have a disruption in the Cah1 gene caused by a single Arg7 insert. The most interesting feature of cah1-1 is its lack of any significant growth phenotype. There is no major difference in growth or photosynthesis between the wild type and cah1-1 over a pH range from 5.0 to 9.0 even though this mutant apparently lacks Cah1 expression in air. Although the presence of pCA1 apparently gives some minor benefit at very low CO₂ concentrations, the characteristics of this Cah1 null mutant demonstrate that pCA1 is not essential for function of the CO₂-concentrating mechanism or for growth of C. reinhardtii at limiting CO₂ concentrations.     

Identification of Intracellular Carbonic Anhydrase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii which Is Distinct from the Periplasmic Form of the Enzyme

A physiologically significant level of intracellular carbonic anhydrase has been identified in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii after lysis of the cell wall-less mutant, cw15, and two intracellular polypeptides have been identified which bind to anti-carbonic anhydrase antisera. The susceptibility of the intracellular activity to sulfonamide carbonic anhydrase inhibitors is more than three orders-of-magnitude less than that of the periplasmic enzyme, indicating that the intracellular activity was distinct from the periplasmic from of the enzyme. When electrophoretically separated cell extracts or chloroplast stromal fractions were probed with either anti-C. reinhardtii periplasmic carbonic anhydrase antiserum or anti-spinach carbonic anhydrase antiserum, immunoreactive polypeptides of 45 kilodaltons and 110 kilodaltons were observed with both antisera. The strongly immunoreactive 37 kilodalton polypeptide due to the periplasmic carbonic anhydrase was also observed in lysed cells, but neither the 37 kilodalton nor the 110 kilodalton polypeptides were present in the chloroplast stromal fraction. These studies have identified intracellular carbonic anhydrase activity, and putative intracellular carbonic anhydrase polypeptides in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii represented by a 45 kilodalton polypeptide in the chloroplast and a 110 kilodalton form probably in the cytoplasm, which may be associated with an intracellular inorganic carbon concentrating system.     

Carbonic Anhydrase of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Cellular Distribution and Subunit Constitution in Two Strains

Cellular distribution and subunit constitution of carbonic anhydrase(CA) were compared between the CBSC strain of Chlamydomonasreinhardtii (purchased from Carolina Biological Suuply Co.)and C. reinhardtii C-9. CAs existed exclusively outside theplasma membrane inboth strains. Mol wts of the monomer and theholoenzyme from both strains were 35 kDa and 115–117 kDa,respectively. These results show that the CAs of both strainsare identical or verysimilar. ¹Present address: National Institute for Basic Biology, Myodaiji,Okazaki 444, Japan.

Carbonic Anhydrase of Chlamydomonas: Purification and Studies on its Induction Using Antiserum against Chlamydomonas Carbonic Anhydrase

Carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1 [EC] ; CA) was purified by affinitychromatography from cells of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonasreinhardtii which had been grown photoautotrophically in ordinaryair. Antiserum raised in rabbit against this purified CA crossreactedwith Chlamydomonas CA but not with spinach leaf CA nor bovineerythrocyte CA. When the CO₂ concentration provided to the algalcells was decreased from 4% to the ordinary air level (0.04%),CA activity and the content of CA protein determined by theimmunodiffusion test showed parallel increases. In contrast,when the CO₂ concentration was raised from air level to 4% CO₂CA activity and its content expressed on the basis of culturevolume remained rather constant. These results indicate thatsynthesis of the CA protein is induced when the CO₂ concentrationis lowered from 4 to 0.04% during algal growth. On the otherhand, the synthesis of CA stops when CO₂ concentration is raisedfrom air level to 4%. (Received June 30, 1984; Accepted October 8, 1984)     

Crystal Structure and Functional Characterization of Photosystem II-Associated Carbonic Anhydrase CAH3 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

In oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy is stored in the form of chemical energy by converting CO₂ and water into carbohydrates. The light-driven oxidation of water that provides the electrons and protons for the subsequent CO₂ fixation takes place in photosystem II (PSII). Recent studies show that in higher plants, HCO₃^– increases PSII activity by acting as a mobile acceptor of the protons produced by PSII. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a luminal carbonic anhydrase, CrCAH3, was suggested to improve proton removal from PSII, possibly by rapid reformation of HCO₃^– from CO₂. In this study, we investigated the interplay between PSII and CrCAH3 by membrane inlet mass spectrometry and x-ray crystallography. Membrane inlet mass spectrometry measurements showed that CrCAH3 was most active at the slightly acidic pH values prevalent in the thylakoid lumen under illumination. Two crystal structures of CrCAH3 in complex with either acetazolamide or phosphate ions were determined at 2.6- and 2.7-Å resolution, respectively. CrCAH3 is a dimer at pH 4.1 that is stabilized by swapping of the N-terminal arms, a feature not previously observed in α-type carbonic anhydrases. The structure contains a disulfide bond, and redox titration of CrCAH3 function with dithiothreitol suggested a possible redox regulation of the enzyme. The stimulating effect of CrCAH3 and CO₂/HCO₃^– on PSII activity was demonstrated by comparing the flash-induced oxygen evolution pattern of wild-type and CrCAH3-less PSII preparations. We showed that CrCAH3 has unique structural features that allow this enzyme to maximize PSII activity at low pH and CO₂ concentration.Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are metalloenzymes, which catalyze the interconversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻), a reaction that otherwise proceeds slowly at physiological pH. CAs belong to three evolutionary distinct classes, α, β, and γ, which share no significant amino acid sequence identity and are thought to be the result of convergent evolution (Hewett-Emmett and Tashian, 1996; Supuran, 2008; Ferry, 2010; Rowlett, 2010). Animals have only the α-CA type, but as multiple isoforms. By contrast, higher plants, algae, and cyanobacteria may contain members of all three CA families. In algae, CAs has been found in mitochondria and chloroplasts and in the cytoplasm and apoplasm.Many fresh-water and soil-living microalgae face limiting concentrations of inorganic carbon (Ci) in their environments. To overcome this, the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, as well as most other unicellular algae and cyanobacteria, actively accumulate Ci inside the cells. This mechanism is known as the carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM; Raven, 1997; Wang et al., 2011; Meyer and Griffiths, 2013). CCM allows the algae to maintain a high concentration of CO₂ around the carboxylating enzyme, Rubisco, even under limiting external Ci. The increased concentration of CO₂ in the chloroplast increases the CO₂/O₂ specificity for Rubisco that leads to a decreased oxygenation reaction, and hence carboxylation becomes more efficient.CCM can be induced in C. reinhardtii cultures by bubbling air containing CO₂ at ambient or concentrations (≤0.04%; Vance and Spalding, 2005). Full metabolic adaptation is usually reached within 10 to 12 h after transfer to air CO₂ conditions (Renberg et al., 2010). Already within the first few hours after induction, several genes are either up- or down-regulated (Miura et al., 2004; Yamano et al., 2008; Fang et al., 2012). Surprisingly, the global changes in protein expression do not correspond to those in the gene expression; only few proteins are either up- or down-regulated during CCM induction (Manuel and Moroney, 1988; Spalding and Jeffrey, 1989). CAs are important components of the CCM. In C. reinhardtii, 12 genes are expressed that encode for CA isoforms (Moroney et al., 2011). Among the many genes that are significantly up-regulated during CCM induction, there is one encoding for an apoplastic CA (CrCAH1) and two encoding for mitochondrial CAs (CrCAH4 and CrCAH5; Fujiwara et al., 1990; Eriksson et al., 1996).An α-type CA (CrCAH3) located in the thylakoid lumen in C. reinhardtii has also been identified as important at low CO₂ levels (Karlsson et al., 1998). The sequence indicates that it is transported through the thylakoid membrane via the Twin Arg Translocation pathway (Albiniak et al., 2012). A mutant not expressing CrCAH3 (knockout of the cah3 gene) shows no or poor growth under air CO₂ levels (Spalding et al., 1983; Moroney et al., 1986) and has a severely impaired photosynthetic capacity under low Ci conditions. This mutant, called CrCIA3, has been a valuable tool for resolving the CrCAH3 function.It is also established that CrCAH3 is associated with PSII (Stemler, 1997; Villarejo et al., 2002; Blanco-Rivero et al., 2012). Using isolated PSII membranes from C. reinhardtii, Shutova et al. (2008) presented data suggesting that CrCAH3 is important for efficient water oxidation by facilitating the removal of protons that are produced when water is oxidized by PSII. This is in line with recent studies (Zaharieva et al., 2011; Klauss et al., 2012) showing that it is crucial to have alternating electron and proton removals from the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) during the five-state catalytic cycle, i.e. the Kok cycle (Kok et al., 1970), of photosynthetic water oxidation. If proton removal is slow, this leads to less efficient O₂ production and consequently may lead to donor side photoinhibition (Minagawa et al., 1996). That HCO₃^– acts as a mobile proton carrier has been recently demonstrated for spinach (Spinacia oleracea) PSII membrane fragments using membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS; Koroidov et al., 2014). These results show that PSII possesses a light- and HCO₃^–-dependent CO₂ production for up to 50% of the O₂ produced.Taken together, these data suggest that CrCAH3 plays an important role in regulating PSII reactions. In this work, we present further evidence for its function in PSII primary reactions, in particular at low Ci concentrations. We determined crystal structures of CrCAH3 at 2.6 to 2.7 Å resolution in complex with acetazolamide (AZM) or phosphate ions. Our results support a zinc-hydroxide catalytic mechanism of CrCAH3 similar to that of other α-CAs. CrCAH3 has, however, an activity optimum at lower pH values than CAs of the same type, which normally operate at pH 7.0 and higher (Demir et al., 2000). The activity optimum of CrCAH3 makes it more suitable for CO₂/HCO₃^– interconversion at the pH levels present in the thylakoid lumen under light exposure.     

Thylakoid Lumen Carbonic Anhydrase (CAH3) Mutation Suppresses Air-Dier Phenotype of LCIB Mutant in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

An active CO₂-concentrating mechanism is induced when Chlamydomonas reinhardtii acclimates to limiting inorganic carbon (Ci), either low-CO₂ (L-CO₂; air level; approximately 0.04% CO₂) or very low-CO₂ (VL-CO₂; approximately 0.01% CO₂) conditions. A mutant, ad1, which is defective in the limiting-CO₂-inducible, plastid-localized LCIB, can grow in high-CO₂ or VL-CO₂ conditions but dies in L-CO₂, indicating a deficiency in a L-CO₂-specific Ci uptake and accumulation system. In this study, we identified two ad1 suppressors that can grow in L-CO₂ but die in VL-CO₂. Molecular analyses revealed that both suppressors have mutations in the CAH3 gene, which encodes a thylakoid lumen localized carbonic anhydrase. Photosynthetic rates of L-CO₂-acclimated suppressors under acclimation CO₂ concentrations were more than 2-fold higher than ad1, apparently resulting from a more than 20-fold increase in the intracellular concentration of Ci as measured by direct Ci uptake. However, photosynthetic rates of VL-CO₂-acclimated cells under acclimation CO₂ concentrations were too low to support growth in spite of a significantly elevated intracellular Ci concentration. We conclude that LCIB functions downstream of CAH3 in the CO₂-concentrating mechanism and probably plays a role in trapping CO₂ released by CAH3 dehydration of accumulated Ci. Apparently dehydration by the chloroplast stromal carbonic anhydrase CAH6 of the very high internal Ci caused by the defect in CAH3 provides Rubisco sufficient CO₂ to support growth in L-CO₂-acclimated cells, but not in VL-CO₂-acclimated cells, even in the absence of LCIB.CO₂ serves both as the substrate for photosynthesis and as an important signal to regulate plant growth and development, so variable CO₂ concentrations can impact photosynthesis, growth, and productivity of plants. Terrestrial C₄ plants have developed a CO₂-concentrating mechanism (CCM) involving anatomical and biochemical adaptations to accumulate a higher concentration of CO₂ as substrate Rubisco and to suppress oxygenation of ribulose-1,5-bisP, a wasteful side reaction. In contrast, a different type of CCM is induced in the unicellular green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii when the supply of dissolved inorganic carbon (Ci; CO₂ and HCO₃⁻) for photosynthesis is limited (Beardall and Giordano, 2002; Giordano et al., 2005; Moroney and Ynalvez, 2007; Spalding, 2008). In response to limiting CO₂, the CCM uses active Ci transport, both at the plasma membrane and the chloroplast envelope, to accumulate a high concentration of HCO₃⁻ within the chloroplast (Palmqvist et al., 1988; Sültemeyer et al., 1988). The thylakoid lumen carbonic anhydrase (CAH3) plays an essential role in the rapid dehydration of the accumulated HCO₃⁻ to release CO₂ into the pyrenoid, a Rubisco-containing internal compartment of the chloroplast, for assimilation by Rubisco (Price et al., 2002; Spalding et al., 2002).While a number of genes and proteins essential to the operation of the CCM in C. reinhardtii have been identified, our understanding of Ci uptake and its regulation, as well as other aspects of CCM function is limited. A better understanding of the similar CCM in prokaryotic organisms, specifically the cyanobacteria Synechocystis and Synechococcus, has been gained. At least five different types of Ci transporters have been identified in cyanobacteria, including three HCO₃⁻ transporters and two active CO₂ uptake systems (Price et al., 2002, 2004).Recently, at least three distinct CO₂-regulated acclimation states were identified in C. reinhardtii based on growth, photosynthesis and gene expression characteristics, a high-CO₂ (H-CO₂) state (5%–0.5% CO₂), low-CO₂ (L-CO₂) state (air level; 0.4%–0.03% CO₂), and very low-CO₂ (VL-CO₂) state (0.01%–0.005% CO₂; Vance and Spalding, 2005). Two allelic HCR (H-CO₂-requiring) mutants, pmp1 and ad1, grow as well (pmp1) or nearly as well (ad1) as wild-type cells in both H-CO₂ and VL-CO₂ conditions while only dying in L-CO₂, indicating a deficient Ci transport and/or accumulation system only in the L-CO₂ acclimation state (Spalding et al., 1983b, 2002). The defective gene responsible for the pmp1/ad1 phenotype was identified as LCIB, a limiting CO₂-inducible gene, the product of which is predicted to be located in the chloroplast stroma and proposed to be involved with chloroplast Ci uptake in L-CO₂ conditions (Wang and Spalding, 2006). The LCIB gene product is a member of a small gene family so far only found in a few microalgae species (Spalding, 2008).To investigate the roles of LCIB in eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms and identify other functional components involved in chloroplast Ci accumulation in C. reinhardtii, we used an insertional mutagenesis approach to select suppressors of the air-dier phenotype of the LCIB mutant ad1. In this study, we describe two ad1 suppressors, ad-su6 and ad-su7, that grow normally in L-CO₂ but, unlike ad1, die in VL-CO₂. This report also presents data suggesting that the air-dier phenotype of ad1 is suppressed by increased intracellular Ci concentrations in the two suppressors, and suggesting a possible role for LCIB as a CO₂ trap rather than having any direct role in chloroplast envelope Ci transport.     

Characterization of Carbonic Anhydrase Isozyme CA2, Which Is the CAH2 Gene Product,in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

From high-CO₂ (5% CO₂) grown unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, carbonic anhydrase (CA) was isolated by affinity chromatography and characterized. Isolated CA was identified as an isozyme (CA2) which is the product from the second gene CAH2 by peptide sequencing. The CA2 was inactivated by dithiothreitol. This treatment caused dissociation of CA2 into the large (38 kDa) and small subunits (4243 Da). The molecular mass of the CA2 holoenzyme measured by low-angle laser light-scattering photometry and precision differential refractometry combined with gel-filtration HPLC was 87.9 kDa. These results and gene structure indicate that CA2 is a heterotetramer consisting of two large and two small subunits linked by disulfide bonds like CA1, which is the CAH1 gene product. The speciffc activity of CA2 purified by anion-exchange HPLC was 3300 units per mg protein, which was approximately 1.6 times higher than that of CA1. Therefore, it was concluded that two structurally related isozymes, CA1 and CA2, are present in the wild type cells of C. reinhardtii and differentially regulated by the atmospheric CO₂ concentration.
