Structural highlights
DiseaseCAH2_HUMAN Defects in CA2 are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3) [MIM:259730; also known as osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis, carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome, Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome or marble brain disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. The disorder occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated amount of non-functional osteoclasts. OPTB3 is associated with renal tubular acidosis, cerebral calcification (marble brain disease) and in some cases with mental retardation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] FunctionCAH2_HUMAN Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.[6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedBiomaterials based on immobilized proteins are key elements of many biomedical and industrial technologies. However, applications are limited by an inability to precisely construct materials of high homogeneity and defined content. We present here a general "protein-limited immobilization" strategy by combining the rapid, bioorthogonal, and biocompatible properties of a tetrazine-strained trans-cyclooctene reaction with genetic code expansion to site-specifically place the tetrazine into a protein. For the first time, we use this strategy to immobilize defined amounts of oriented proteins onto beads and flat surfaces in under 5 min at submicromolar concentrations without compromising activity. This approach opens the door to generating and studying diverse protein-based biomaterials that are much more precisely defined and characterized, providing a greater ability to engineer properties across a wide range of applications.
