Structural highlights
Disease[CAH2_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] Function[CAH2_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 PubMedPyridinium containing sulfonamides have been largely investigated as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs), showing interesting selectivity features. Nevertheless, only few structural studies are so far available on adducts that these compounds form with diverse CA isoforms. In this paper, we report the structural characterization of the adduct that a triphenylpyridinium derivative forms with hCA II, showing that the substitution of the pyridinium ring plays a key role in determining the conformation of the inhibitor in the active site and consequently the binding affinity to the enzyme. These findings open new perspectives on the basic structural requirements for designing sulfonamide CAIs with a selective inhibition profile.
