Conformational Change of H64 and Substrate Transportation: Insight Into a Full Picture of Enzymatic Hydration of CO₂ by Carbonic Anhydrase.

ABSTRACT: The enzymatic hydration of CO₂ into HCO₃ ^- by carbonic anhydrase (CA) is highly efficient and environment-friendly measure for CO₂ sequestration. Here extensive MM MD and QM/MM MD simulations were used to explore the whole enzymatic process, and a full picture of the enzymatic hydration of CO₂ by CA was achieved. Prior to CO₂ hydration, the proton transfer from the water molecule (WT1) to H64 is the rate-limiting step with the free energy barrier of 10.4 kcal/mol, which leads to the ready state with the Zn-bound OH^-. The nucleophilic attack of OH^- on CO₂ produces HCO₃ ^- with the free energy barrier of 4.4 kcal/mol and the free energy release of about 8.0 kcal/mol. Q92 as the key residue manipulates both CO₂ transportation to the active site and release of HCO₃ ^-. The unprotonated H64 in CA prefers in an inward orientation, while the outward conformation is favorable energetically for its protonated counterpart. The conformational transition of H64 between inward and outward correlates with its protonation state, which is mediated by the proton transfer and the product release. The whole enzymatic cycle has the free energy span of 10.4 kcal/mol for the initial proton transfer step and the free energy change of -6.5 kcal/mol. The mechanistic details provide a comprehensive understanding of the entire reversible conversion of CO₂ into bicarbonate and roles of key residues in chemical and nonchemical steps for the enzymatic hydration of CO₂.

Kinetic study of catalytic CO2 hydration by metal-substituted biomimetic carbonic anhydrase model complexes.

Project description:The rapid rise of the CO2 level in the atmosphere has spurred the development of CO2 capture methods such as the use of biomimetic complexes that mimic carbonic anhydrase. In this study, model complexes with tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA) were synthesized using various transition metals (Zn2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+) to control the intrinsic proton-donating ability. The pKa of the water coordinated to the metal, which indicates its proton-donating ability, was determined by potentiometric pH titration and found to increase in the order [(TPA)Cu(OH2)]2+ < [(TPA)Ni(OH2)]2+ < [(TPA)Zn(OH2)]2+. The effect of pKa on the CO2 hydration rate was investigated by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Because the water ligand in [(TPA)Zn(OH2)]2+ had the highest pKa, it would be more difficult to deprotonate it than those coordinated to Cu2+ and Ni2+. It was, therefore, expected that the complex would have the slowest rate for the reaction of the deprotonated water with CO2 to form bicarbonate. However, it was confirmed that [(TPA)Zn(OH2)]2+ had the fastest CO2 hydration rate because the substitution of bicarbonate with water (bicarbonate release) occurred easily.

Structural insight into activity enhancement and inhibition of H64A carbonic anhydrase II by imidazoles.

Project description:Human carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the hydration and dehydration of CO2 and HCO3 (-), respectively. The reaction follows a ping-pong mechanism, in which the rate-limiting step is the transfer of a proton from the zinc-bound solvent (OH(-)/H2O) in/out of the active site via His64, which is widely believed to be the proton-shuttling residue. The decreased catalytic activity (?20-fold lower with respect to the wild type) of a variant of CA II in which His64 is replaced with Ala (H64A CA II) can be enhanced by exogenous proton donors/acceptors, usually derivatives of imidazoles and pyridines, to almost the wild-type level. X-ray crystal structures of H64A CA II in complex with four imidazole derivatives (imidazole, 1--methylimidazole, 2--methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole) have been determined and reveal multiple binding sites. Two of these imidazole binding sites have been identified that mimic the positions of the 'in' and 'out' rotamers of His64 in wild-type CA II, while another directly inhibits catalysis by displacing the zinc-bound solvent. The data presented here not only corroborate the importance of the imidazole side chain of His64 in proton transfer during CA catalysis, but also provide a complete structural understanding of the mechanism by which imidazoles enhance (and inhibit when used at higher concentrations) the activity of H64A CA II.

Overexpression and Purification of Gracilariopsis chorda Carbonic Anhydrase (GcCA?3) in Nicotiana benthamiana, and Its Immobilization and Use in CO2 Hydration Reactions.

Project description:Carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.2.1) is a Zn-binding metalloenzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration of CO2. Recently, CAs have gained a great deal of attention as biocatalysts for capturing CO2 from industrial flue gases owing to their extremely fast reaction rates and simple reaction mechanism. However, their general application for this purpose requires improvements to stability at high temperature and under in vitro conditions, and reductions in production and scale-up costs. In the present study, we developed a strategy for producing GcCA?3, a CA isoform from the red alga Gracilariopsis chorda, in Nicotiana benthamiana. To achieve high-level expression and facile purification of GcCA?3, we designed various constructs by incorporating various domains such as translation-enhancing M domain, SUMO domain and cellulose-binding domain CBM3. Of these constructs, MC-GcCA?3 that had the M and CBM3 domains was expressed at high levels in N. benthamiana via agroinfiltration with a yield of 1.0 g/kg fresh weight. The recombinant protein was targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for high-level accumulation in plants. Specific and tight CBM3-mediated binding of recombinant GcCA?3 proteins to microcrystalline cellulose beads served as a means for both protein purification from total plant extracts and protein immobilization to a solid surface for increased stability, facilitating multiple rounds of use in CO2 hydration reactions.

Abiotic reduction of ketones with silanes catalysed by carbonic anhydrase through an enzymatic zinc hydride.

Project description:Enzymatic reactions through mononuclear metal hydrides are unknown in nature, despite the prevalence of such intermediates in the reactions of synthetic transition-metal catalysts. If metalloenzymes could react through abiotic intermediates like these, then the scope of enzyme-catalysed reactions would expand. Here we show that zinc-containing carbonic anhydrase enzymes catalyse hydride transfers from silanes to ketones with high enantioselectivity. We report mechanistic data providing strong evidence that the process involves a mononuclear zinc hydride. This work shows that abiotic silanes can act as reducing equivalents in an enzyme-catalysed process and that monomeric hydrides of electropositive metals, which are typically unstable in protic environments, can be catalytic intermediates in enzymatic processes. Overall, this work bridges a gap between the types of transformation in molecular catalysis and biocatalysis.

Accelerated CO₂ Hydration with Thermostable Sulfurihydrogenibium azorense Carbonic Anhydrase-Chitin Binding Domain Fusion Protein Immobilised on Chitin Support.

Project description:Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) represent a group of enzymes that catalyse important reactions of carbon dioxide hydration and dehydration, a reaction crucial to many biological processes and environmental biotechnology. In this study we successfully constructed a thermostable fusion enzyme composed of the Sulfurihydrogenibium azorense carbonic anhydrase (Saz_CA), the fastest CA discovered to date, and the chitin binding domain (ChBD) of chitinase from Bacillus circulans. Introduction of ChBD to the Saz_CA had no major impact on the effect of ions or inhibitors on the enzymatic activity. The fusion protein exhibited no negative effects up to 60 °C, whilst the fusion partner appears to protect the enzyme from negative effects of magnesium. The prepared biocatalyst appears to be thermally activated at 60 °C and could be partially purified with heat treatment. Immobilisation attempts on different kinds of chitin-based support results have shown that the fusion enzyme preferentially binds to a cheap, untreated chitin with a large crystallinity index over more processed forms of chitin. It suggests significant potential economic benefits for large-scale deployment of immobilised CA technologies such as CO₂ utilisation or mineralisation.

Conformational effects on the circular dichroism of Human Carbonic Anhydrase II: a multilevel computational study.

Project description:Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a powerful method for investigating conformational changes in proteins and therefore has numerous applications in structural and molecular biology. Here a computational investigation of the CD spectrum of the Human Carbonic Anhydrase II (HCAII), with main focus on the near-UV CD spectra of the wild-type enzyme and it seven tryptophan mutant forms, is presented and compared to experimental studies. Multilevel computational methods (Molecular Dynamics, Semiempirical Quantum Mechanics, Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory) were applied in order to gain insight into the mechanisms of interaction between the aromatic chromophores within the protein environment and understand how the conformational flexibility of the protein influences these mechanisms. The analysis suggests that combining CD semi empirical calculations, crystal structures and molecular dynamics (MD) could help in achieving a better agreement between the computed and experimental protein spectra and provide some unique insight into the dynamic nature of the mechanisms of chromophore interactions.

Biocatalytic CO2 Absorption and Structural Studies of Carbonic Anhydrase under Industrially-Relevant Conditions.

Project description:The unprecedently high CO2 levels in the atmosphere evoke the urgent need for development of technologies for mitigation of its emissions. Among the alternatives, the biocatalytic route has been claimed as one of the most promising. In the present work, the carbonic anhydrase from bovine erythrocytes (BCA) was employed as a model enzyme for structural studies in an aqueous phase at alkaline pH, which is typical of large-scale absorption processes under operation. Circular dichroism (CD) analysis revealed a high enzymatic stability at pH 10 with a prominent decrease of the melting temperature above this value. The CO2 absorption capacity of the aqueous solutions were assessed by online monitoring of pressure decay in a stainless-steel cell, which indicated a better performance at pH 10 with a kinetic rate increase of up to 43%, as compared to non-biocatalytic conditions. Even low enzyme concentrations (0.2 mg g-1) proved to be sufficient to improve the overall CO2 capture process performance. The enzyme-enhanced approach of CO2 capture presents a high potential and should be further studied.

Role of Carbonic Anhydrase in Cerebral Ischemia and Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors as Putative Protective Agents.

Project description:Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The only pharmacological treatment available to date for cerebral ischemia is tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and the search for successful therapeutic strategies still remains a major challenge. The loss of cerebral blood flow leads to reduced oxygen and glucose supply and a subsequent switch to the glycolytic pathway, which leads to tissue acidification. Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) is the enzyme responsible for converting carbon dioxide into a protons and bicarbonate, thus contributing to pH regulation and metabolism, with many CA isoforms present in the brain. Recently, numerous studies have shed light on several classes of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) as possible new pharmacological agents for the management of brain ischemia. In the present review we summarized pharmacological, preclinical and clinical findings regarding the role of CAIs in strokes and we discuss their potential protective mechanisms.
