Impact of the 237th residue on the folding of human carbonic anhydrase II.

ABSTRACT: The deficiency of human carbonic anhydrase II (HCAII) has been recognized to be associated with a disease called CAII deficiency syndrome (CADS). Among the many mutations, the P237H mutation has been characterized to lead to a significant decrease in the activity of the enzyme and in the Gibbs free energy of folding. However, sequence alignment indicated that the 237th residue of CAII is not fully conserved across all species. The FoldX theoretical calculations suggested that this residue did not significantly contribute to the overall folding of HCAII, since all mutants had small ??G values (around 1 kcal/mol). The experimental determination indicated that at least three mutations affect HCAII folding significantly and the P237H mutation was the most deleterious one, suggesting that Pro237 was important to HCAII folding. The discrepancy between theoretical and experimental results suggested that caution should be taken when using the prediction methods to evaluate the details of disease-related mutations.

Revisiting zinc coordination in human carbonic anhydrase II.

Project description:Carbonic anhydrase (CA, general abbreviation for human carbonic anhydrase II) is a well-studied, zinc-dependent metalloenzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of carbon dioxide to the bicarbonate ion. The apo-form of CA (apoCA, CA where Zn(2+) ion has been removed) is relatively easy to generate, and reconstitution of the human erythrocyte CA has been initially investigated. In the past, these studies have continually relied on equilibrium dialysis measurements to ascertain an extremely strong association constant (K(a) ? 1.2 × 10(12)) for Zn(2+). However, new reactivity data and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) data reported herein call that number into question. As shown in the ITC experiments, the catalytic site binds a stoichiometric quantity of Zn(2+) with a strong equilibrium constant (K(a) ? 2 × 10(9)) that is 3 orders of magnitude lower than the previously established value. Thermodynamic parameters associated with Zn(2+) binding to apoCA are unraveled from a series of complex equilibria associated with the in vitro metal binding event. This in-depth analysis adds clarity to the complex ion chemistry associated with zinc binding to carbonic anhydrase and validates thermochemical methods that accurately measure association constants and thermodynamic parameters for complex-ion and coordination chemistry observed in vitro. Additionally, the zinc sites in both the as-isolated and the reconstituted ZnCA (active CA containing a mononuclear Zn(2+) center) were probed using X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Both X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses indicate the zinc center in the reconstituted carbonic anhydrase is nearly identical to that of the as-isolated protein and confirm the notion that the metal binding data reported herein is the reconstitution of the zinc active site of human CA II.

Azobenzene-based inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase II.

Project description:Aryl sulfonamides are a widely used drug class for the inhibition of carbonic anhydrases. In the context of our program of photochromic pharmacophores we were interested in the exploration of azobenzene-containing sulfonamides to block the catalytic activity of human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII). Herein, we report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of a small library of nine photochromic sulfonamides towards hCAII. All molecules are azobenzene-4-sulfonamides, which are substituted by different functional groups in the 4´-position and were characterized by X-ray crystallography. We aimed to investigate the influence of electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents on the inhibitory constant K i. With the aid of an hCAII crystal structure bound to one of the synthesized azobenzenes, we found that the electronic structure does not strongly affect inhibition. Taken together, all compounds are strong blockers of hCAII with K i = 25-65 nM that are potentially photochromic and thus combine studies from chemical synthesis, crystallography and enzyme kinetics.

Preferred orientations of His64 in human carbonic anhydrase II.

Project description:Histidine at position 64 (His64) in human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) is believed to be the proton acceptor in the hydration direction and the proton donor in the dehydration direction for the rate-limiting proton transfer (PT) event. Although the biochemical effect of histidine at position 64 has been thoroughly investigated, the role of its orientation in the PT event is a topic of considerable debate. X-ray data of HCA II suggests that His64 can adopt either an "in" or "out" orientation. The "in" orientation is believed to be favored for the hydration direction PT event because the Ndelta of His64 is closer to the catalytic zinc. This orientation allows for smaller water bridges, which are postulated to be more conducive to PT. In the present work, classical molecular dynamics simulations have been conducted to elucidate the role that the His64 orientation may play in its ability to act as a proton donor/acceptor in HCA II. The free energy profile for the orientation of His64 suggests that the histidine will adopt an "in" orientation in the hydration direction, which brings Ndelta in close proximity to the catalytic zinc. When the histidine becomes protonated, it then rotates to an "out" orientation, creating a more favorable solvation environment for the protonated His64. In this "out" orientation, the imidazole ring releases the delta nitrogen's excess proton into the bulk environment. After the second PT event and when the zinc-bound water is regenerated, the His64 is again favored to reorient to the "in" orientation, completing the catalytic cycle.

Building reactive copper centers in human carbonic anhydrase II.

Project description:Reengineering metalloproteins to generate new biologically relevant metal centers is an effective a way to test our understanding of the structural and mechanistic features that steer chemical transformations in biological systems. Here, we report thermodynamic data characterizing the formation of two type-2 copper sites in carbonic anhydrase and experimental evidence showing one of these new, copper centers has characteristics similar to a variety of well-characterized copper centers in synthetic models and enzymatic systems. Human carbonic anhydrase II is known to bind two Cu(2+) ions; these binding events were explored using modern isothermal titration calorimetry techniques that have become a proven method to accurately measure metal-binding thermodynamic parameters. The two Cu(2+)-binding events have different affinities (K a approximately 5 × 10(12) and 1 × 10(10)), and both are enthalpically driven processes. Reconstituting these Cu(2+) sites under a range of conditions has allowed us to assign the Cu(2+)-binding event to the three-histidine, native, metal-binding site. Our initial efforts to characterize these Cu(2+) sites have yielded data that show distinctive (and noncoupled) EPR signals associated with each copper-binding site and that this reconstituted enzyme can activate hydrogen peroxide to catalyze the oxidation of 2-aminophenol.

Characterization of the Copper(II) Binding Sites in Human Carbonic Anhydrase II.

Project description:Human carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a well-studied, robust, mononuclear Zn-containing metalloprotein that serves as an excellent biological ligand system to study the thermodynamics associated with metal ion coordination chemistry in aqueous solution. The apo form of human carbonic anhydrase II (CA) binds 2 equiv of copper(II) with high affinity. The Cu(2+) ions bind independently forming two noncoupled type II copper centers in CA (CuA and CuB). However, the location and coordination mode of the CuA site in solution is unclear, compared to the CuB site that has been well-characterized. Using paramagnetic NMR techniques and X-ray absorption spectroscopy we identified an N-terminal Cu(2+) binding location and collected information on the coordination mode of the CuA site in CA, which is consistent with a four- to five-coordinate N-terminal Cu(2+) binding site reminiscent to a number of N-terminal copper(II) binding sites including the copper(II)-amino terminal Cu(2+) and Ni(2+) and copper(II)-?-amyloid complexes. Additionally, we report a more detailed analysis of the thermodynamics associated with copper(II) binding to CA. Although we are still unable to fully deconvolute Cu(2+) binding data to the high-affinity CuA site, we derived pH- and buffer-independent values for the thermodynamics parameters K and ?H associated with Cu(2+) binding to the CuB site of CA to be 2 × 10(9) and -17.4 kcal/mol, respectively.

A novel acetate-bound complex of human carbonic anhydrase II.

Project description:The enzyme human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII) crystallized in an acetate-bound complex belonging to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 42.3, b = 71.8, c = 74.0 A. The structure was solved by the molecular-replacement method and refined to an R value of 0.18 and an R(free) of 0.21. The acetate molecule replaced the zinc-bound water molecule in the structure, differing from previous reports regarding the site of acetate binding. This mode of binding disrupts the hydrogen-bonded solvent network required for activity of the enzyme. This mode of inhibitor binding is a novel one that has not been observed previously.

Neutron structure of human carbonic anhydrase II: implications for proton transfer.

Project description:Human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to form bicarbonate and a proton. Despite many high-resolution X-ray crystal structures, mutagenesis, and kinetic data, the structural details of the active site, especially the proton transfer pathway, are unclear. A large HCA II crystal was prepared at pH 9.0 and subjected to vapor H-D exchange to replace labile hydrogens with deuteriums. Neutron diffraction studies were conducted at the Protein Crystallography Station at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The structure to 2.0 A resolution reveals several interesting active site features: (1) the Zn-bound solvent appearing to be predominantly a D(2)O molecule, (2) the orientation and hydrogen bonding pattern of solvent molecules in the active site cavity, (3) the side chain of His64 being unprotonated (neutral) and predominantly in an inward conformation pointing toward the zinc, and (4) the phenolic side chain of Tyr7 appearing to be unprotonated. The implications of these details are discussed, and a proposed mechanism for proton transfer is presented.

Elucidation of the proton transport mechanism in human carbonic anhydrase II.

Project description:Human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) is one of the fastest known enzymes, which utilizes a rate-limiting proton transport (PT) step in its enzymatic reaction. To evaluate the PT event at an atomistic level, the multistate empirical valence bond (MS-EVB) method has been utilized in this work. It is observed that the PT event in HCA II exploits a transient active site water cluster to transport the excess proton between the catalytic zinc-bound water/hydroxide and the proton shuttling residue, His64. This PT event is found to be dependent on the enzyme's ability to form and stabilize the active site water cluster in addition to its ability to orient His64 in a favorable conformation. Evaluation of the PT free energy barrier for different orientations of His64 reveals this residue's vital role as a proton transporter and elucidates its direct effect on the barrier to PT through the active site water. It is suggested that the rate-limiting step oscillates between the active site water PT event to His64 and the de/protonation of His64 depending on the exogenous buffer concentration and the orientation of His64. In the absence of a PT acceptor/donor at position 64, it is found that the excess proton will utilize one of three distinct paths to enter/leave the active site. This latter result not only allows for an increased understanding of how enzymes capitalize on the protein/solvent interface to guide excess protons to/from areas of interest, it also provides valuable insight into the chemical rescue experiments on HCA II mutants.

Structural insights into a thermostable variant of human carbonic anhydrase II.

Project description:Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme of interest for many biotechnological developments including carbon sequestration. These applications often require harsh conditions, so there is a need for the development of thermostable variants. One of the most thermostable human carbonic anhydrase II (HCAIIts) variants was patented in 2006. Here, we report the ultra-high resolution crystal structure of HCAIIts. The structural changes seen are consistent with each of the six mutations involved acting largely independently and variously resulting in increased H-bonding, improved packing, and reduced side chain entropy loss on folding to yield the increased stability. We further suggest that for four of the mutations, improvements in backbone conformational energetics is also a contributor and that considerations of such conformational propensities of individual amino acids are often overlooked.

Active-site solvent replenishment observed during human carbonic anhydrase II catalysis.

Project description:Human carbonic anhydrase II (hCA II) is a zinc metalloenzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration/dehydration of CO2/HCO3-. Although hCA II has been extensively studied to investigate the proton-transfer process that occurs in the active site, its underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Here, ultrahigh-resolution crystallographic structures of hCA II cryocooled under CO2 pressures of 7.0 and 2.5?atm are presented. The structures reveal new intermediate solvent states of hCA II that provide crystallographic snapshots during the restoration of the proton-transfer water network in the active site. Specifically, a new intermediate water (WI') is observed next to the previously observed intermediate water WI, and they are both stabilized by the five water molecules at the entrance to the active site (the entrance conduit). Based on these structures, a water network-restructuring mechanism is proposed, which takes place at the active site after the nucleophilic attack of OH- on CO2. This mechanism explains how the zinc-bound water (WZn) and W1 are replenished, which are directly responsible for the reconnection of the His64-mediated proton-transfer water network. This study provides the first 'physical' glimpse of how a water reservoir flows into the hCA II active site during its catalytic activity.
