The effect of modulating the shape and the size of the hydrophobic pocket on the esterase activity and specificity of human carbonic anhydrase II (HCAII) for esters with different acyl chain lengths was investigated. Following an initial screen of 7 HCAII variants with alanine substitutions in positions 121, 143 and 198, detailed kinetic measurements were performed on HCAII and the variants V121A, V143A and V121A/V143A. For some variants, an increased size of the hydrophobic pocket resulted in increased activities and specificities for longer substrates. For V121A/V143A, the rate of hydrolysis for paranitrophenyl valerate was increased by a factor of approximately 3000. The specificities also changed dramatically, for example V121A/V143A is 6.3 times more efficient with paranitrophenyl valerate than paranitrophenyl acetate, while HCAII is >500 times more efficient with paranitrophenyl acetate than paranitrophenyl valerate. An automated docking procedure was performed on these variants with transition state analogues (TSAs) for the hydrolysis reaction. It was possible to correlate the catalytic rate constants to the docking results, i.e. for each variant, efficient hydrolysis was generally correlated to successful TSA-docking. The observations in this paper show that the redesign increased the catalytic rates for substrates with long acyl chains by removal of steric hinders and addition of new favourable binding interactions. 相似文献

The functional role of the highly conserved active site Arg 59 in the prototype of the gamma-class carbonic anhydrase Cam (carbonic anhydrase from Methanosarcina thermophila) was investigated. Variants (R59A, -C, -E, -H, -K, -M, and -Q) were prepared by site-directed mutagenesis and characterized by size exclusion chromatography (SEC), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and stopped-flow kinetic analyses. CD spectra indicated similar secondary structures for the wild type and the R59A and -K variants, independent of nondenaturing concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl). SEC indicated that all variants purified as homotrimers like the wild type. SEC also revealed that the R59A and -K variants unfolded at > or = 1.5 M GdnHCl, compared to 3.0 M GdnHCl for the wild type. These results indicate that Arg 59 contributes to the thermodynamic stability of the Cam trimer. The R59K variant had k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m) values that were 8 and 5% of the wild-type values, respectively, while all other variants had k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m) values 10-100-fold lower than those of the wild type. The R59A, -C, -E, -M, and -Q variants exhibited 4-63-fold increases in k(cat) and 9-120-fold increases in k(cat)/K(m) upon addition of 100 mM GdnHCl, with the largest increases observed for the R59A variant, which was comparable to the R59K variant. The kinetic results indicate that a positive charge at position 59 is essential for the CO(2) hydration step of the overall catalytic mechanism. 相似文献

The esterase, phosphatase, and sulfatase activities of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes, CA I, II, and XIII with 4-nitrophenyl esters as substrates was investigated. These enzymes show esterase activity with 4-nitrophenyl acetate as substrate, with second order rate constants in the range of 753-7706M(-1)s(-1), being less effective as phosphatases (k(cat)/K(M) in the range of 14.89-1374.40M(-1)s(-1)) and totally ineffective sulfatases. The esterase/phosphatase activities were inhibited by sulfonamide CA inhibitors, proving that the zinc-hydroxide mechanism responsible for the CO(2) hydrase activities of CAs is also responsible for their esterase/phosphatase activity. CA XIII was the most effective esterase and phosphatase. CA XIII might catalyze other physiological reactions than CO(2) hydration, based on its relevant phosphatase activity. 相似文献

A single mutation, involving the replacement of an arginine residue with histidine to reconstruct a zinc-binding site, suffices to change a catalytically inactive murine carbonic anhydrase-related protein (CARP) to an active carbonic anhydrase with a CO2-hydration turnover number of 1.2 x 104 s-1. Further mutations, leading to a more 'carbonic anhydrase-like' active-site cavity, results in increased activity. A quintuple mutant having His94, Gln92, Val121, Val143, and Thr200 (human carbonic anhydrase I numbering system) shows kcat = 4 x 104 s-1 and kcat/Km = 2 x 107 M-1.s-1, greatly exceeding the corresponding values for carbonic anhydrase isozyme III and approaching those characterizing carbonic anhydrase I. In addition, a buffer change from 50 mM Taps/NaOH to 50 mM 1, 2-dimethylimidazole/H2SO4 at pH 9 results in a 14-fold increase in kcat for this quintuple mutant. The CO2-hydrating activity of a double mutant with His94 and Gln92 shows complex pH-dependence, but the other mutants investigated behave as if the activity (kcat/Km) is controlled by the basic form of a single group with pKa near 7.7. In a similar way to human carbonic anhydrase II, the buffer behaves formally as a second substrate in a ping-pong pattern, suggesting that proton transfer between a zinc-bound water molecule and buffer limits the maximal rate of catalysis in both systems at low buffer concentrations. However, the results of isotope-exchange kinetic studies suggest that proton shuttling via His64 is insignificant in the CARP mutant in contrast with carbonic anhydrase II. The replacement of Ile residues with Val in positions 121 or 143 results in measurable 4-nitrophenyl acetate hydrolase activity. The pH-rate profile for this activity has a similar shape to those of carbonic anhydrase I and II. CD spectra of the double mutant with His94 and Gln92 are variable, indicating an equilibrium between a compact form of the protein and a 'molten globule'-like form. The introduction of Thr200 seems to stabilize the protein. 相似文献

Histamine dehydrogenase (NSHADH) can be isolated from cultures of Nocardioides simplex grown with histamine as the sole nitrogen source. A previous report suggested that NSHADH might contain the quinone cofactor tryptophan tryptophyl quinone (TTQ). Here, the hdh gene encoding NSHADH is cloned from the genomic DNA of N. simplex, and the isolated enzyme is subjected to a full spectroscopic characterization. Protein sequence alignment shows NSHADH to be related to trimethylamine dehydrogenase (TMADH: EC 1.5.99.7), where the latter contains a bacterial ferredoxin-type [4Fe-4S] cluster and 6-S-cysteinyl FMN cofactor. NSHADH has no sequence similarity to any TTQ containing amine dehydrogenases. NSHADH contains 3.6+/-0.3 mol Fe and 3.7+/-0.2 mol acid labile S per subunit. A comparison of the UV/vis spectra of NSHADH and TMADH shows significant similarity. The EPR spectrum of histamine reduced NSHADH also supports the presence of the flavin and [4Fe-4S] cofactors. Importantly, we show that NSHADH has a narrow substrate specificity, oxidizing only histamine (K(m)=31+/-11 microM, k(cat)/K(m)=2.1 (+/-0.4)x10(5)M(-1)s(-1)), agmatine (K(m)=37+/-6 microM, k(cat)/K(m)=6.0 (+/-0.6)x10(4)M(-1)s(-1)), and putrescine (K(m)=1280+/-240 microM, k(cat)/K(m)=1500+/-200 M(-1)s(-1)). A kinetic characterization of the oxidative deamination of histamine by NSHADH is presented that includes the pH dependence of k(cat)/K(m) (histamine) and the measurement of a substrate deuterium isotope effect, (D)(k(cat)/K(m) (histamine))=7.0+/-1.8 at pH 8.5. k(cat) is also pH dependent and has a reduced substrate deuterium isotope of (D)(k(cat))=1.3+/-0.2. 相似文献

In Cu-containing nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes faecalis S-6 the axial methionine ligand of the type-1 site was replaced (M150G) to make the copper ion accessible to external ligands that might affect the enzyme's catalytic activity. The type-1 site optical spectrum of M150G (A(460)/A(600)=0.71) differs significantly from that of the native nitrite reductase (A(460)/A(600)=1.3). The midpoint potential of the type-1 site of nitrite reductase M150G (E(M)=312(+/-5)mV versus hydrogen) is higher than that of the native enzyme (E(M)=213(+/-5)mV). M150G has a lower catalytic activity (k(cat)=133(+/-6)s(-1)) than the wild-type nitrite reductase (k(cat)=416(+/-10)s(-1)). The binding of external ligands to M150G restores spectral properties, midpoint potential (E(M)<225mV), and catalytic activity (k(cat)=374(+/-28)s(-1)). Also the M150H (A(460)/A(600)=7.7, E(M)=104(+/-5)mV, k(cat)=0.099(+/-0.006)s(-1)) and M150T (A(460)/A(600)=0.085, E(M)=340(+/-5)mV, k(cat)=126(+/-2)s(-1)) variants were characterized. Crystal structures show that the ligands act as allosteric effectors by displacing Met62, which moves to bind to the Cu in the position emptied by the M150G mutation. The reconstituted type-1 site has an otherwise unaltered geometry. The observation that removal of an endogenous ligand can introduce allosteric control in a redox enzyme suggests potential for structural and functional flexibility of copper-containing redox sites. 相似文献

We have investigated the steady state and equilibrium kinetic properties of carbonic anhydrase from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NGCA). Qualitatively, the enzyme shows the same kinetic behaviour as the well studied human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II). This is reflected in the similar pH dependencies of the kinetic parameters for CO(2) hydration and the similar behaviour of the kinetics of (18)O exchange between CO(2) and water at chemical equilibrium. The pH profile of the turnover number, k(cat), can be described as a titration curve with an exceptionally high maximal value of 1.7 x 10(6) s(-1) at alkaline pH and a pK(a) of 7.2. At pH 9, k(cat) is buffer dependent in a saturable manner, suggesting a ping-pong mechanism with buffer as the second substrate. The ratio k(cat)/K(m) is dependent on two ionizations with pK(a) values of 6.4 and 8.2. However, an (18)O-exchange assay identified only one ionizable group in the pH profile of k(cat)/K(m) with an apparent pK(a) of 6.5. The results of a kinetic analysis of a His66-->Ala variant of the bacterial enzyme suggest that His66 in NGCA has the same function as a proton shuttle as His64 in HCA II. The kinetic defect in the mutant can partially be overcome by certain buffers, such as imidazole and 1,2-dimethylimidazole. The bacterial enzyme shows similar K(i) values for the inhibitors NCO(-), SCN(-) and N(3)(-) as HCA II, while CN(-) and the sulfonamide ethoxzolamide are considerably weaker inhibitors of the bacterial enzyme than of HCA II. The absorption spectra of the adducts of Co(II)-substituted NGCA with acetazolamide, NCO(-), SCN(-), CN(-) and N(3)(-) resemble the corresponding spectra obtained with human Co(II)-isozymes I and II. Measurements of guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl)-induced denaturation reveal a sensitivity of the CO(2) hydration activity to the reducing agent tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP). However, the A(292)/A(260) ratio was not affected by the presence of TCEP, and a structural transition at 2.8--2.9 M GdnHCl was observed. 相似文献

The carbohydrate-binding site of Bacillus macerans 1,3-1, 4-beta-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase has been analyzed through a mutational analysis to probe the role of protein-carbohydrate interactions defining substrate specificity. Amino acid residues involved in substrate binding were proposed on the basis of a modeled enzyme-substrate complex [Hahn, M., Keitel, T., and Heinemann, U. (1995) Eur. J. Biochem. 232, 849-859]. The effects of the mutations at 15 selected residues on catalysis and binding were determined by steady-state kinetics using a series of chromogenic substrates of different degree of polymerization to assign the individual H-bond and hydrophobic contributions to individual subsites in the binding site cleft. The glucopyranose rings at subsites -III and -II are tightly bound by a number of H-bond interactions to Glu61, Asn24, Tyr92, and Asn180. From k(cat)/K(M) values, single H-bonds account for 1.8-2.2 kcal mol(-)(1) transition-state (TS) stabilization, and a charged H-bond contributes up to 3.5 kcal mol(-)(1). Glu61 forms a bidentated H-bond in subsites -III and -II, and provides up to 6.5 kcal mol(-)(1) TS stabilization. With a disaccharide substrate that fills subsites -I and -II, activation kinetics were observed for the wild-type and mutant enzymes except for mutations on Glu61, pointing to an important role of the bidentate interaction of Glu61 in two subsites. Whereas removal of the hydroxyl group of Tyr121, initially proposed to hydrogen-bond with the 2OH of Glcp-I, has essentially no effect (Y121F mutant), side-chain removal (Y121A mutant) gave a 100-fold reduction in k(cat)/K(M) and a 10-fold lower K(I) value with a competitive inhibitor. In subsite -IV, only a stacking interaction with Tyr22 (0.7 kcal mol(-)(1) TS stabilization) is observed. 相似文献

The beta-class carbonic anhydrase from the archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (Cab) was structurally and kinetically characterized. Analytical ultracentrifugation experiments show that Cab is a tetramer. Circular dichroism studies of Cab and the Spinacia oleracea (spinach) beta-class carbonic anhydrase indicate that the secondary structure of the beta-class enzymes is predominantly alpha-helical, unlike that of the alpha- or gamma-class enzymes. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure results indicate the active zinc site of Cab is coordinated by two sulfur and two O/N ligands, with the possibility that one of the O/N ligands is derived from histidine and the other from water. Both the steady-state parameters k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m) for CO(2) hydration are pH dependent. The steady-state parameter k(cat) is buffer-dependent in a saturable manner at both pH 8.5 and 6.5, and the analysis suggested a ping-pong mechanism in which buffer is the second substrate. At saturating buffer conditions and pH 8.5, k(cat) is 2.1-fold higher in H(2)O than in D(2)O, consistent with an intramolecular proton transfer step being rate contributing. The steady-state parameter k(cat)/K(m) is not dependent on buffer, and no solvent hydrogen isotope effect was observed. The results suggest a zinc hydroxide mechanism for Cab. The overall results indicate that prokaryotic beta-class carbonic anhydrases have fundamental characteristics similar to the eukaryotic beta-class enzymes and firmly establish that the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-classes are convergently evolved enzymes that, although structurally distinct, are functionally equivalent. 相似文献

Neurolysin (EP24.16) and thimet oligopeptidase (EP24.15) are closely related metalloendopeptidases. Site-directed mutagenesis of Tyr(613) (EP24.16) or Tyr(612) (EP24.15) to either Phe or Ala promoted a strong reduction of k(cat)/K(M) for both enzymes. These data suggest the importance of both hydroxyl group and aromatic ring at this specific position during substrate hydrolysis by these peptidases. Furthermore, the EP24.15 A607G mutant showed a k(cat)/K(M) of 2x10(5) M(-1) s(-1) for the Abz-GFSIFRQ-EDDnp substrate, similar to that of EP24.16 (k(cat)/K(M)=3x10(5) M(-1) s(-1)) which contains Gly at the corresponding position; the wild type EP24.15 has a k(cat)/K(M) of 2.5x10(4) M(-1) s(-1) for this substrate. 相似文献

A kinetic study of CO(2) hydration was carried out using the water-soluble zinc model complex with water-soluble nitrilotris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl-6-sulfonate) L1S, [L1SZn(OH(2))](-), mimicking the active site of carbonic anhydrase, in the presence and absence of anion inhibitors NCS(-) and Cl(-). The obtained rate constants k(cat) for CO(2) hydration were 5.9x10(2), 1. 7x10(3), and 3.1x10(3) M(-1) s(-1) at 5, 10, and 15 degrees C, respectively: the k(cat)=ca. 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) extrapolated towards 25 degrees C has been the largest among the reported k(cat) using zinc model complexes for carbonic anhydrase. It was also revealed that NCS(-), Cl(-) and acetazolamide play a role of inhibitors by the decrease of k(cat): 7x10(2) and 2x10(3) M(-1) s(-1) for NCS(-) and Cl(-) at 15 degrees C, respectively. The sequence of their magnitudes in k(cat) is Cl(-) approximately acetazolamide>NCS(-), where the sequence Cl(-)>NCS(-) is confirmed for native carbonic anhydrase. The difference of k(cat) or k(obs) between NCS(-) and Cl(-) resulted from that between the stability constants K(st)=2x10(3) for [L1SZn(NCS)](2-) and 1x10(2) M(-1) for [L1SZnCl](2-) in D(2)O: for water-insoluble tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine L1, K(st)=1.8x10(4) for [L1Zn(NCS)](2-) and 1.5x10(3) M(-1) for [L1ZnCl](2-)in CD(3)CN/D(2)O (50% v/v). The crystal structure of anion-binding zinc model complexes [L1Zn(OH(2))](0.5)[L1ZnCl](0.5) (ClO(4))(1.5) 1(0.5)2(0.5)(ClO(4))(1.5) was revealed by X-ray crystallography. The geometry around Zn(2+) in 1 and 2 was tetrahedrally coordinated by three benzimidazolyl nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom of H(2)O, or Cl(-). 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

The unique secretory isozyme of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1), hCA VI, has been cloned, expressed, and purified. The kinetic parameters for the CO(2) hydration reaction proved hCA VI to possess a k(cat) of 3.4x10(5)s(-1) and k(cat)/K(M) of 4.9x10(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 isoforms CA I or CA IX. A series of anions (such as bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, etc.) were shown to inhibit the activity of the enzyme, with inhibition constants typically in the range of 0.60-0.90mM. The best hCA VI inhibitors were cyanide, azide, sulfamide, and sulfamate, with inhibition constants in the range of 70-90microM. 相似文献

Engineering Streptomyces clavuligerus deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase for optimal ring expansion activity toward penicillin G 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase (DAOCS) from Streptomyces clavuligerus was engineered with the aim of enhancing the conversion of penicillin G into phenylacetyl-7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid, a precursor of 7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid, for industrial application. A single round of random mutagenesis followed by the screening of 5,500 clones identified three mutants, G79E, V275I, and C281Y, that showed a two- to sixfold increase in the k(cat)/K(m) ratio compared to the wild-type enzyme. Site-directed mutagenesis to modify residues surrounding the substrate resulted in three mutants, N304K, I305L, and I305M, with 6- to 14-fold-increased k(cat)/K(m) values. When mutants containing all possible combinations of these six sites were generated to optimize the ring expansion activity for penicillin G, the double mutant, YS67 (V275I, I305M), showed a significant 32-fold increase in the k(cat)/K(m) ratio and a 5-fold increase in relative activity for penicillin G, while the triple mutant, YS81 (V275I, C281Y, I305M), showed an even greater 13-fold increase in relative activity toward penicillin G. Our results demonstrate that this is a robust approach to the modification of DAOCS for an optimized DAOCS-penicillin G reaction. 相似文献

The solvent kinetic isotope effects (SKIE) on the yeast alpha-glucosidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl and methyl-d-glucopyranoside were measured at 25 degrees C. With p-nitrophenyl-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG), the dependence of k(cat)/K(m) on pH (pD) revealed an unusually large (for glycohydrolases) solvent isotope effect on the pL-independent second-order rate constant, (DOD)(k(cat)/K(m)), of 1.9 (+/-0.3). The two pK(a)s characterizing the pH profile were increased in D(2)O. The shift in pK(a2) of 0.6 units is typical of acids of comparable acidity (pK(a)=6.5), but the increase in pK(a1) (=5.7) of 0.1 unit in going from H(2)O to D(2)O is unusually small. The initial velocities show substrate inhibition (K(is)/K(m) approximately 200) with a small solvent isotope effect on the inhibition constant [(DOD)K(is)=1.1 (+/-0.2)]. The solvent equilibrium isotope effects on the K(is) for the competitive inhibitors D-glucose and alpha-methyl D-glucoside are somewhat higher [(DOD)K(i)=1.5 (+/-0.1)]. Methyl glucoside is much less reactive than pNPG, with k(cat) 230 times lower and k(cat)/K(m) 5 x 10(4) times lower. The solvent isotope effect on k(cat) for this substrate [=1.11 (+/-0. 02)] is lower than that for pNPG [=1.67 (+/-0.07)], consistent with more extensive proton transfer in the transition state for the deglucosylation step than for the glucosylation step. 相似文献

Carbonic anhydrase, a zinc enzyme catalyzing the interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, is nearly ubiquitous in the tissues of highly evolved eukaryotes. Here we report on the first known plant-type (beta-class) carbonic anhydrase in the archaea. The Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum DeltaH cab gene was hyperexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the heterologously produced protein was purified 13-fold to apparent homogeneity. The enzyme, designated Cab, is thermostable at temperatures up to 75 degrees C. No esterase activity was detected with p-phenylacetate as the substrate. The enzyme is an apparent tetramer containing approximately one zinc per subunit, as determined by plasma emission spectroscopy. Cab has a CO(2) hydration activity with a k(cat) of 1.7 x 10(4) s(-1) and K(m) for CO(2) of 2.9 mM at pH 8.5 and 25 degrees C. Western blot analysis indicates that Cab (beta class) is expressed in M. thermoautotrophicum; moreover, a protein cross-reacting to antiserum raised against the gamma carbonic anhydrase from Methanosarcina thermophila was detected. These results show that beta-class carbonic anhydrases extend not only into the Archaea domain but also into the thermophilic prokaryotes. 相似文献

Bile salt-dependent lipase was purified to homogeneity from lyophilized human milk and used to screen the influence of the acyl chain length (2-16 carbon atoms) on the kinetic constants k(cat) and K(m) of the hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl (pnp) ester substrates in the presence or absence of sodium taurocholate (NaTC: 0.02-20 mM). The highest k(cat) value (~3,500 s(-1)) was obtained with pnpC(8) as substrate, whereas the lowest K(m) (<10 μM) was that recorded with pnpC(10). In the absence of NaTC, the maximal catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) was obtained with pnpC(8), while in the presence of NaTC k(cat)/K(m) was maximal with pnpC(8), pnpC(10) or pnpC(12). The bile salt activated the enzyme in two successive saturation phases occurring at a micromolar and a millimolar concentration range, respectively. The present data emphasize the suitability of this enzyme for the hydrolysis of medium-chain acyl-containing substrates and throw additional light on how BSDL is activated by NaTC. 相似文献

A carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from red blood cells of pigeons (Columba livia var. domestica), clCA, was purified to homogeneity. Its kinetic parameters for the CO(2) hydration reaction were measured. With a k(cat)/K(m) of 1.1?×?10(8) M(-1) s(-1), and a k(cat) of 1.3?×?10(6) s(-1), clCA has a high activity, similar to that of the human isoform hCA II. A group of 25 aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides incorporating the sulfanilamide, homosulfanilamide, benzene-1,3-disulfonamide, and acetazolamide scaffolds showed variable inhibitory activity against the pigeon enzyme, with K(I)s in the range of 1.9-3460?nM. Red blood cells of pigeons, like those of ostriches, contain thus just one CA isoform, unlike the blood of mammals, which normally contain two isoforms, one of low (CA I-like) and one of very high activity (CA II-like). However, from the sulfonamide inhibition viewpoint, the pigeon enzyme was more similar to hCA II than to the ostrich enzyme. 相似文献

Using stopped flow methods, we have measured the steady state rate constants and the inhibition by N3- and I- of the hydration of CO2 catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase III from cat muscle. Also, using fluorescence quenching of the enzyme at 330 nm, we have measured the binding of the sulfonamide chlorzolamide to cat carbonic anhydrase III. Inhibition by the anions was uncompetitive at pH 6.0 and was mixed at higher values of pH. The inhibition constant of azide was independent of pH between 6.0 and 7.5 with a value of KIintercept = 2 X 10(-5) M; the binding constant of chlorzolamide to cat carbonic anhydrase III was also independent of pH in the range of 6.0 to 7.5 with a value Kdiss = 2 X 10(-6) M. Both of these values increased as pH increased above 8. There was a competition between chlorzolamide and the anions N-3 and OCN- for binding sites on cat carbonic anhydrase III. The pH profiles for the kinetic constants and the uncompetitive inhibition at pH 6.0 can be explained by an activity-controlling group in cat carbonic anhydrase III with a pKa less than 6. Moreover, the data suggest that like isozyme II, cat isozyme III is limited in rate by a step occurring outside the actual interconversion of CO2 and HCO3- and involving a change in bonding to hydrogen exchangeable with solvent water. 相似文献

Kinetic analysis of the zinc-dependent deacetylase in the lipid A biosynthetic pathway 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The first committed step of lipid A biosynthesis in Gram-negative bacteria is catalyzed by the zinc-dependent hydrolase LpxC that removes an acetate from the nitrogen at the 2' '-position of UDP-3-O-acyl-N-acetylglucosamine. Recent structural characterization by both NMR and X-ray crystallography provides many important details about the active site environment of LpxC from Aquifex aeolicus, a heat-stable orthologue that displays 32% sequence identity to LpxC from Escherichia coli. The detailed reaction mechanism and specific roles of active site residues for LpxC from A. aeolicus are further analyzed here. The pH dependencies of k(cat)/K(M) and k(cat) for the deacetylation of the substrate UDP-3-O-[(R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl]-GlcNAc are both bell-shaped. The ascending acidic limb (pK(1)) was fitted to 6.1 +/- 0.2 for k(cat) and 5.7 +/- 0.2 for k(cat)/K(M). The descending basic limb (pK(2)) was fitted to 8.0 +/- 0.2 for k(cat) and 8.4 +/- 0.2 for k(cat)/K(M). The pH dependence of the E73A mutant exhibits loss of the acidic limb, and the mutant retains only 0.15% activity versus the wild type. The pH dependencies of the other active site mutants H253A, K227A, H253A/K227A, and D234N remain bell-shaped, although their significantly lower activities (0.25%, 0.05%, 0.007%, and 0.57%, respectively) suggest that they contribute significantly to catalysis. Our cumulative data support a mechanism for LpxC wherein Glu73 serves as the general base for deprotonation and activation of the zinc-bound water. 相似文献
