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 PubMedHuman carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX), a protein specifically expressed on the surface of solid tumour cells, represents a validated target both for anticancer therapy and diagnostics. We recently identified sulfonamide dicarbaboranes as promising inhibitors of CA IX with favourable activities both in vitro and in vivo. To explain their selectivity and potency, we performed detailed X-ray structural analysis of their interactions within the active sites of CA IX and CA II. Series of compounds bearing various aliphatic linkers between the dicarbaborane cluster and sulfonamide group were examined. Preferential binding towards the hydrophobic part of the active site cavity was observed. Selectivity towards CA IX lies in the shape complementarity of the dicarbaborane cluster with a specific CA IX hydrophobic patch containing V131 residue. The bulky side chain of F131 residue in CA II alters the shape of the catalytic cavity, disrupting favourable interactions of the spherical dicarbaborane cluster.
