Carbonic anhydrase activators: Solution and X-ray crystallography for the interaction of andrenaline with various carbonic anhydrase isoforms
Overview
The activation of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) with L-adrenaline and histamine has been investigated by kinetic and X-ray crystallographic studies. L-Adrenaline behaves as a potent activator of isozyme CA I (activation constant of 90 nM), being a much weaker activator of isozyme CA II (activation constant of 96 microM). Isoforms CA IV, VA, VII, and XIV were activated by L-adrenaline with K(A)s in the range of 36-63 microM. The X-ray crystal structure of the CA II-L-adrenaline adduct revealed that the activator plugs the entrance of the active site cavity, obstructing it almost completely.
