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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Carbon- versus sulphur-based zinc binding groups for carbonic anhydrase inhibitors?

Project description:A set of compounds incorporating carbon-based zinc-binding groups (ZBGs), of the type PhX (X?=?COOH, CONH2, CONHNH2, CONHOH, CONHOMe), and the corresponding derivatives with sulphur(VI)-based ZBGs (X?=?SO3H, SO2NH2, SO2NHNH2, SO2NHOH, SO2NHOMe) were tested as inhibitors of all mammalian isoforms of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), CA I-XV. Three factors connected with the ZBG influenced the efficacy as CA inhibitor (CAI) of the investigated compounds: (i) the pKa of the ZBG; (ii) its geometry (tetrahedral, i.e. sulphur-based, versus trigonal, i.e. carbon-based ZBGs), and (iii) orientation of the organic scaffold induced by the nature of the ZBG. Benzenesulphonamide was the best inhibitor of all isoforms, but other ZBGs led to interesting inhibition profiles, although with an efficacy generally reduced when compared to the sulphonamide. The nature of the ZBG also influenced the CA inhibition mechanism. Most of these derivatives were zinc binders, but some of them (sulfonates, carboxylates) may interact with the enzyme by anchoring to the zinc-coordinated water molecule or by other inhibition mechanisms (occlusion of the active site entrance, out of the active site binding, etc.). Exploring structurally diverse ZBGs may lead to interesting new developments in the field of CAIs.

Protein-caged zinc porphyrin as a carbonic anhydrase mimic for carbon dioxide capture.

Project description:Zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (Zn-TPP) solubilized by GroEL protein cage was prepared as a supramolecular mimic of carbonic anhydrase (CA) for CO2 capture. It is shown that the soluble Zn-TPP-GroEL complex can be formed easily by detergent dialysis. The Zn-TPP/GroEL binding ratio was found to increase with their dialysis ratio until reaching the maximum of about 30 porphyrins per protein cage. Moreover, the complex showed hydrase activity that catalyzes the CO2 hydration in HCO3- and H+. It is further seen that the catalytic activity of Zn-TPP-GroEL was about one-half of that of a bovine CA at 25 °C. On the other hand, as the temperature was increased to 60 °C close to an industrial CO2 absorption temperature, the natural enzyme lost function while Zn-TPP-GroEL exhibited better catalytic performance indicative of a higher thermal stability. Finally, we demonstrate that the GroEL-solubilized Zn-TPP is able to accelerate the precipitation of CO2 in the form of CaCO3 and has better long-term performance than the bovine CA. Thus a new type of nano-caged system mimicking natural CAs for potential applications in carbon capture has been established.

The effect of zinc on the activity and fluorescence of carbonic anhydrase holoenzymes.

Project description:The addition of Zn2+ to human carbonic anhydrase B holoenzyme was shown to enhance the protein fluorescence, and this enhancement was correlated with the inhibition of the p-nitrophenyl acetate esterase activity. The affinity for the inhibitory Zn2+ was increased when the ionic inhibitors, acetate or chloride, were added, suggesting that the inhibitory Zn2+-binding site is within the region of the protein that undergoes an anion-induced conformational change. A similar fluorescence enhancement was observed when Zn2+ was added to human carbonic anhydrase C and to bovine carbonic anhydrase, demonstrating that the binding site is not a thiol group. Circular-dichroism studies showed that the C isoenzyme but not the B isoenzyme underwent a major conformational change in the presence of Zn2+. A mechanism for the Zn2+-induced fluorescence enhancement was suggested on the basis of studies with simple compounds.

Selective Enzymatic Oxidation of Silanes to Silanols.

Project description:Compared to the biological world's rich chemistry for functionalizing carbon, enzymatic transformations of the heavier homologue silicon are rare. We report that a wild-type cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450BM3 from Bacillus megaterium, CYP102A1) has promiscuous activity for oxidation of hydrosilanes to give silanols. Directed evolution was applied to enhance this non-native activity and create a highly efficient catalyst for selective silane oxidation under mild conditions with oxygen as the terminal oxidant. The evolved enzyme leaves C-H bonds present in the silane substrates untouched, and this biotransformation does not lead to disiloxane formation, a common problem in silanol syntheses. Computational studies reveal that catalysis proceeds through hydrogen atom abstraction followed by radical rebound, as observed in the native C-H hydroxylation mechanism of the P450 enzyme. This enzymatic silane oxidation extends nature's impressive catalytic repertoire.

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.

Active Nanointerfaces Based on Enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase and Metal-Organic Framework for Carbon Dioxide Reduction.

Project description:Carbonic anhydrases are enzymes capable of transforming carbon dioxide into bicarbonate to maintain functionality of biological systems. Synthetic isolation and implementation of carbonic anhydrases into membrane have recently raised hopes for emerging and efficient strategies that could reduce greenhouse emission and the footprint of anthropogenic activities. However, implementation of such enzymes is currently challenged by the resulting membrane's wetting capability, overall membrane performance for gas sensing, adsorption and transformation, and by the low solubility of carbon dioxide in water, the required medium for enzyme functionality. We developed the next generation of enzyme-based interfaces capable to efficiently adsorb and reduce carbon dioxide at room temperature. For this, we integrated carbonic anhydrase with a hydrophilic, user-synthesized metal-organic framework; we showed how the framework's porosity and controlled morphology contribute to viable enzyme binding to create functional surfaces for the adsorption and reduction of carbon dioxide. Our analysis based on electron and atomic microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and colorimetric assays demonstrated the functionality of such interfaces, while Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis and gas chromatography analysis allowed additional evaluation of the efficiency of carbon dioxide adsorption and reduction. Our study is expected to impact the design and development of active interfaces based on enzymes to be used as green approaches for carbon dioxide transformation and mitigation of global anthropogenic activities.

The Effect of Nanoparticles on the Structure and Enzymatic Activity of Human Carbonic Anhydrase I and II.

Project description:Human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) belong to a well characterized group of metalloenzymes that catalyze the conversion of carbonic dioxide into bicarbonate. There are currently 15 known human isoforms of carbonic anhydrase with different functions and distribution in the body. This links to the relevance of hCA variants to several diseases such as glaucoma, epilepsy, mountain sickness, ulcers, osteoporosis, obesity and cancer. This review will focus on two of the human isoforms, hCA I and hCA II. Both are cytosolic enzymes with similar topology and 60% sequence homology but different catalytic efficiency and stability. Proteins in general adsorb on surfaces and this is also the case for hCA I and hCA II. The adsorption process can lead to alteration of the original function of the protein. However, if the function is preserved interesting biotechnological applications can be developed. This review will cover the knowledge about the interaction between hCAs and nanomaterials. We will highlight how the interaction may lead to conformational changes that render the enzyme inactive. Moreover, the importance of different factors on the final effect on hCAs, such as protein stability, protein hydrophobic or charged patches and chemistry of the nanoparticle surface will be discussed.
