HUMAN CARBONIC ANHYDRASE II IN COMPLEX WITH 4-methylphenyl-boronic acid
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 PubMedBoronic acids are an interesting but still poorly studied class of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Previous investigations proved that derivatives incorporating aromatic, arylalkyl, and arylalkenyl moieties are low micromolar to millimolar inhibitors for several alpha- and beta-CAs involved in pathologic states. Here we report a high-resolution X-ray study on two classes of boronic acids (phenyl and vinyl) in complex with hCA II. Our results unambiguously clarify the binding mode of these molecules to the human carbonic anhydrase active site, which occurs through their tetrahedral anionic form, regardless of the nature of the organic scaffold. Data here presented contribute to the understanding of the inhibition mechanism of boronic acids that can be fruitfully used for the rational design of novel and effective isozyme-specific carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
