Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a metalloenzyme that performs interconversion between CO2 and the bicarbonate ion (HCO3 ?). CAs appear among all taxonomic groups of three domains of life. Wide spreading of CAs in nature is explained by the fact that carbon, which is the major constituent of the enzyme’s substrates, is a key element of life on the Earth. Despite the diversity of CAs, they all carry out the same reaction of CO2/HCO3 ? interconversion. Thus, CA obviously represents a universal enzyme of the carbon-based life. Within the classification of CAs, here we proposed the existence of an extensive family of CA-related proteins (γCA-RPs)–the inactive forms of γ-CAs, which are widespread among the Archaea, Bacteria, and, to a lesser extent, in Eukarya. This review focuses on the history of CAs discovery and integrates the most recent data on their classification, catalytic mechanisms, and physiological roles at various organisms. 相似文献

Outdoor microalgal cultivation with high concentration bicarbonate has been considered as a strategy for reducing contamination and improving carbon supply efficiency. The mechanism responsible for algae's strong tolerance to high bicarbonate however, remains not clear. In this study, we isolated and characterized a strain and revealed its high bicarbonate tolerant mechanism by analyzing carbonic anhydrase (CA). The strain was identified as Dunaliella salina HTBS with broad temperature adaptability (7–30 °C). The strain grew well under 30% CO2 or 70 g L−1 NaHCO3. In comparison, two periplasm CAs (CAH1 and CAH2) were detected with immunoblotting analysis in HTBS but not in a non-HCO3−—tolerant strain. The finding was also verified by an enzyme inhibition assay in which only HTBS showed significant inhibition by extracellular CA inhibitor. Thus, we inferred that the extracellular CAH1 and CAH2 played a multifunctional role in the toleration of high bicarbonate by HTBS. 相似文献

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) was purified from the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardii, and the purity of the preparation was established by gradient gel electrophoresis. The purified enzyme exhibited a MW of 165 000 and contained 6 atoms of Zn. The subunit MW, as determined by dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, was 27 000. These results are consistent with a quarternary structure which is hexameric, each monomer containing 1 g atom of Zn. Like spinach CA, and in contrast to other oligomeric plant CAs, a sulfhydryl reducing agent is not needed to stabilize the enzyme. CO2-hydrase activity was inhibited by both acetazolamide (I50 = 7.8 × 10?9M) and sulfanilamide (I50 = 1.3 × 10?5M), as well as by certain inorganic anions. The purified enzyme showed relatively weak esterase activity with p-nitrophenyl acetate but was an extremely effective esterase with 2-hydroxy-5-nitro-α-toluenesulfonic acid sultone as the substrate. Both esterase activities could be completely inhibited by adding acetazolamide. In its gross structural characteristics, the C. reinhardii enzyme resembles the CAs from higher plants. However, in its esterase activity and the inhibition by sulfonamides it is markedly different from plant CAs and bears more resemblance to erythrocyte CAs. 相似文献

Using mass-spectrometric measurements of 18O exchange from 13C18O2 intracellular carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity was investigated in the unicellular green algae Dunaliella tertiolecta and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii which were either grown on air enriched with 5% CO2 (high-Ci cells) or on air (low-Ci cells). In D. tertiolecta high- and low-Ci cells had detectable levels of internal CA activity when measured under in-vivo conditions and this activity could be split up into three distinct forms. One CA was not associated with the chloroplasts, while two isozymes were found to be located within the plastids. The activities of all intracellular CAs were always about twofold higher in low than in high-Ci cells of D. tertiolecta and the chloroplastic enzymes were completely induced within 4 h of adaptation to air. One of the chloroplastic CAs was found to be soluble the other was insoluble. In addition to the physical differences, MgSO4 in vitro caused a more than twofold stimulation of the soluble activity while the insoluble form of CA remained rather unaffected. In C. reinhardtii, MgSO4 increased the soluble CA activity by 346% and the concentration of MgSO4 required for half-maximum stimulation was between 10 and 15 mM. Again, the insoluble CA activity was not affected by MgSO4. Furthermore, the soluble isoenzyme was considerably more sensitive to ethoxyzolamide, a potent inhibitor of CA, than the insoluble enzyme. The concentration of inhibitor causing 50% inhibition of soluble CA activity was 110 and 85 μM ethoxyzolamide for D. tertiolecta and C. reinhardtii, respectively. From these data we conclude that the two chloroplast-associated CAs are distinct enzymes. 相似文献

The carbonic anhydrases (CAs) constitute a family of almost ubiquitous enzymes of significant importance for many physiological
and pathological processes. CAs reversely catalyse the conversion of CO2 + H2O to HCO3
− and H+, thereby contributing to the regulation of intracellular pH. Above all, CAs are of key importance for cells that perform
glycolysis that inevitably leads to the intracellular accumulation of lactate. CA XII is a plasma membrane-associated isoform
of the enzyme, which is induced by hypoxia and oestrogen and, consequently, expressed at high levels on various types of cancer
and, intriguingly, on cancer stem cells. The enzyme is directly involved in tumour progression, and its inhibition has an
anti-tumour effect. Apart from its role in carcinogenesis, the enzyme contributes to various other diseases like glaucoma
and arteriosclerotic plaques, among others. CA XII is therefore regarded as promising target for specific therapies. We have
now generated the first monoclonal antibody (6A10) that binds to the catalytic domain of CA XII on vital tumour cells and
inhibits CA XII enzyme activity at nanomolar concentrations and thus much more effective than acetazolamide. In vitro results
demonstrate that inhibition of CA XII by 6A10 inhibits the growth of tumour cells in 3-dimensional structures. In conclusion,
we generated the first specific and efficient biological inhibitor of tumour-associated CA XII. This antibody may serve as
a valuable tool for in vivo diagnosis and adjuvant treatment of different types of cancer. 相似文献

Aromatic amines are base materials for generating super-engineering plastics such as polyamides and polyimides. Recombinant Escherichia coli ferments 4-aminocinnamic acid (4ACA) from glucose, and it can be derived to plastics of biomass origin with extreme thermal properties. Here, we scaled-up 4ACA production by optimizing microbial fermentation processes. The initial fermentation of 4-aminophenylalanine (4APhe) using E. coli generated the papABC genes of Pseudomonas fluorescens that produced 4APhe with a volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) of 70 h−1 in 115 L of culture broth, and 334 g of 4APhe at a final concentration of 2.9 g 4APhe L−1. Crude 4APhe prepared from the fermentation broth was bioconverted to 4ACA by an E. coli strain producing phenylalanine ammonia lyase of the yeast Rhodotorula glutinis. The E. coli cells cultured under optimized conditions converted 4APhe to 4ACA at a rate of 0.65 g L−1 4ACA OD600−1. These processes resulted in the final derivation of 4.1 g L−1 of 4ACA from glucose. The 4ACA was purified from the reaction as a hydrochloric acid salt and photodimerized to 4,4’-diaminotruxillic acid, which was polycondensed to produce bioaromatic polyimides. Large-scale 4ACA production will facilitate investigations of the physicochemical properties of biomass-derived aromatic polymers of 4ACA origin. 相似文献

Warm-blooded animals may have Malassezia pachydermatis on healthy skin, but changes in the skin microenvironment or host defences induce this opportunistic commensal to become pathogenic. Malassezia infections in humans and animals are commonly treated with azole antifungals. Fungistatic treatments, together with their long-term use, contribute to the selection and the establishment of drug-resistant fungi. To counteract this rising problem, researchers must find new antifungal drugs and enhance drug resistance management strategies. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate, adenylyl cyclase, and bicarbonate have been found to promote fungal virulence, adhesion, hydrolase synthesis, and host cell death. The CO2/HCO3-/pH-sensing in fungi is triggered by HCO3- produced by metalloenzymes carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1). It has been demonstrated that the growth of M. globosa can be inhibited in vivo by primary sulphonamides, which are the typical CA inhibitors. Here, we report the cloning, purification, and characterisation of the β-CA (MpaCA) from the pathogenic fungus M. pachydermatis, which is homologous to the enzyme encoded in the genome of M. globosa and M. restricta, that are responsible for dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. Fungal CAs could be thus considered a new pharmacological target for combating fungal infections and drug resistance developed by most fungi to the already used drugs. 相似文献

Aniline and chlorinated anilines (CAs) are classified as priority pollutants; therefore, an effective method for detection and monitoring is required. In this study, a green-fluorescence protein-based bioreporter for the detection of aniline and CAs was constructed in Escherichia coli DH5α, characterized and tested with soil and wastewater. The sensing capability relied on the regulatory control between a two-component regulatory protein, TodS/TodT, and the P todX promoter of Pseudomonas putida T-57 (PpT57), since the gene expression of todS, todT, and todC2 are positively induced with 4-chloroaniline. The bioreporter system (DH5α/pPXGFP–pTODST) is markedly unique with the two co-existing plasmids. The inducibility of the fluorescence response was culture-medium- and time-dependent. Cells grown in M9G medium exhibited a low background fluorescence level and were readily induced by 4CA after 3-h exposure, reaching the maximum induction level at 9?h. When tested with benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene and xylene, aniline and CAs, the response data were best fit by a sigmoidal dose–response relationship, from which the K 1/2 value was determined for the positive effectors. 3CA and 4CA were relatively powerful inducers, while some poly-chlorinated anilines could also induce green fluorescence protein expression. The results indicated a broader recognition range of PpT57’sTodST than previously reported for P. putida. The test results with environmental samples were reliable, indicating the potential application of this bioreporter in the ecotoxicology assessment and bioremediation of areas contaminated with aniline- and/or CAs. 相似文献

Carbonic anhydrase enzymes (EC 4.2.1.1, CAs) are metalloenzyme families that catalyze the rapid conversion of H2O and CO2 to HCO3– and H+. CAs are found in different tissues where they participate in various significant biochemical processes such as ion transport, carbon dioxide respiration, ureagenesis, lipogenesis, bone resorption, electrolyte secretion, acid-base balance, and gluconeogenesis. In such processes, many CAs are significant therapeutic targets because of their inhibitory potentials especially in the treatment of some diseases such as edema, glaucoma, obesity, cancer, epilepsy, and osteoporosis. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitors are also valuable compounds for different therapeutic applications including Alzheimer’s disease. In this work, we report a fast and effective synthesis of 5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-one’s aryl Schiff base derivatives and also their CA and cholinesterases inhibitory properties. Our findings showed that these Schiff base derivatives, with triazole ring, found as strong CA and cholinesterases inhibitors. 相似文献

Among the numerous metalloenzymes known to date, carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) was the first zinc containing one, being discovered decades ago. CA is a hydro-lyase, which catalyzes the following hydration–dehydration reaction: CO2 + H2O ⇋ HCO3− + H+. Several CA classes are presently known, including the α-, β-, γ-, δ-, ζ- and η-CAs. In prokaryotes, the existence of genes encoding CAs from at least three classes (α-, β- and γ-class) suggests that these enzymes play a key role in the physiology of these organisms. In many bacteria CAs are essential for the life cycle of microbes and their inhibition leads to growth impairment or growth defects of the pathogen. CAs thus started to be investigated in detail in bacteria, fungi and protozoa with the aim to identify antiinfectives with a novel mechanism of action. Here, we investigated the catalytic activity, biochemical properties and anion inhibition profiles of the three CAs from the bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholera, VchCA, VchCAβ and VchCAγ. The three enzymes are efficient catalysts for CO2 hydration, with kcat values ranging between (3.4 − 8.23) × 105 s−1 and kcat/KM of (4.1 − 7.0) × 107 M−1 s−1. A set of inorganic anions and small molecules was investigated for inhibition of these enzymes. The most potent VchCAγ inhibitors were N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate, sulfamate, sulfamide, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid, with KI values ranging between 44 and 91 μM. 相似文献

The genome of the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of the most lethal type of human malaria, contains a single gene annotated as encoding a carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) thought to belong to the α-class, PfCA. Here we demonstrate the kinetic properties of PfCA for the CO2 hydration reaction, as well as an inhibition study of this enzyme with inorganic and complex anions and other molecules known to interact with zinc proteins, including sulfamide, sulfamic acid, and phenylboronic/arsonic acids, detecting several low micromolar inhibitors. A closer examination of the sequence of this and the CAs from other Plasmodium spp., as well as a phylogenetic analysis, revealed that these protozoa encode for a yet undisclosed, new genetic family of CAs termed the η-CA class. The main features of the η-CAs are described in this report. 相似文献

We have carried out the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a small library of 2-aminobenzoxazole-appended coumarins as novel inhibitors of tumour-related CAs IX and XII. Substituents on C-3 and/or C-4 positions of the coumarin scaffold, and on the benzoxazole moiety, together with the length of the linker connecting both units were modified to obtain useful structure-activity relationships. CA inhibition studies revealed a good selectivity towards tumour-associated CAs IX and XII (Ki within the mid-nanomolar range in most of the cases) in comparison with CAs I, II, IV, and VII (Ki > 10 µM); CA IX was found to be slightly more sensitive towards structural changes. Docking calculations suggested that the coumarin scaffold might act as a prodrug, binding to the CAs in its hydrolysed form, which is in turn obtained due to the esterase activity of CAs. An increase of the tether length and of the substituents steric hindrance was found to be detrimental to in vitro antiproliferative activities. Incorporation of a chlorine atom on C-3 of the coumarin moiety achieved the strongest antiproliferative agent, with activities within the low micromolar range for the panel of tumour cell lines tested. 相似文献

Among protein families, carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are metalloenzymes characterized by a common reaction mechanism in all life domains: the carbon dioxide hydration to bicarbonate and protons (CO2+H2O ? HCO3?+H+). Six genetically distinct CA families are known to date, the α-, β-, γ-, δ-, ζ- and η-CAs. The last CA class was recently discovered analyzing the amino acid sequences of CAs from Plasmodia. Bacteria encode for enzymes belonging to the α-, β-, and γ-CA classes and recently, phylogenetic analysis revealed an interesting relationship regarding the evolution of bacterial CA classes. This result evidenced that the three bacterial CA classes, in spite of the high level of the structural similarity, are evolutionarily distinct, but we noted that the primary structure of some β-CAs identified in the genome of Gram-negative bacteria present a pre-sequence of 18 or more amino acid residues at the N-terminal part. These observations and subsequent phylogenetic data presented here prompted us to propose that the β-CAs found in Gram-negative bacteria with a periplasmic space and characterized by the presence of a signal peptide might have a periplasmic localization and a role similar to that described previously for the α-CAs. 相似文献

Characterization of Low pH-induced Catecholamine Secretion in the Rat Adrenal Medulla 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract: Catecholamine (CA) secretion was evoked when the isolated rat adrenal gland was perfused with HEPES-buffered Krebs solution acidified by the addition of HCI or by gassing with 95% O2/5% CO2. The secretion was detectable at pH 7.0 and increased with decreasing pH until at ~6.4. The low pH-induced CA secretion consisted of two phases, an initial transient response followed by a sustained phase. An intracellular Ca2+ antagonist, 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl ester, selectively inhibited the initial phase of secretion. Both of the responses were resistant to nifedipine, a blocker of voltage-gated Ca2+ channel, but were completely inhibited in Ca2+-free (1 mM EGTA containing) solution. Adrenaline was an exclusive component in CAs released by low pH. The time course and extent of intracellular acidification caused either by low pH in the external medium or by the offset of a transitory NH4CI application had no correlation with those of the secretory responses in the corresponding period. These results suggest that extracellular acidification preferentially activates adrenaline secretive cells to evoke CA secretion and that this low pH-induced CA secretion may be mediated by dihydropyridine-insensitive Ca2+ influx. Furthermore, the initial transient phase of the low pH-induced CA secretion might be caused by a Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, which is also induced by the Ca2+ influx. 相似文献

The effect of phospholipids on the activity of isoform ACA8 of Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membrane (PM) Ca2+-ATPase was evaluated in membranes isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain K616 expressing wild type or mutated ACA8 cDNA. Acidic phospholipids stimulated the basal Ca2+-ATPase activity in the following order of efficiency: phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate>phosphatidylserine>phosphatidylcholine?phosphatidylethanolamine?0. Acidic phospholipids increased Vmax-Ca2+ and lowered the value of K0.5-Ca2+ below the value measured in the presence of calmodulin (CaM). In the presence of CaM acidic phospholipids activated ACA8 by further decreasing its K0.5-Ca2+ value. Phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate and, with lower efficiency, phosphatidylserine bound peptides reproducing ACA8 N-terminus (aa 1–116). Single point mutation of three residues (A56, R59 and Y62) within the sequence A56-T63 lowered the apparent affinity of ACA8 for phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate by two to three fold, indicating that this region contains a binding site for acidic phospholipids. However, the N-deleted mutant Δ74-ACA8 was also activated by acidic phospholipids, indicating that acidic phospholipids activate ACA8 through a complex mechanism, involving interaction with different sites. The striking similarity between the response to acidic phospholipids of ACA8 and animal plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase provides new evidence that type 2B Ca2+-ATPases share common regulatory properties independently of structural differences such as the localization of the terminal regulatory region at the N- or C-terminal end of the protein. 相似文献
