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 PubMedOptogenetics and photopharmacology are powerful approaches to investigating biochemical systems. While the former is based on genetically encoded photoreceptors that utilize abundant chromophores, the latter relies on synthetic photoswitches that are either freely diffusible or covalently attached to specific bioconjugation sites, which are often native or engineered cysteines. The identification of suitable cysteine sites and appropriate linkers for attachment is in general a lengthy and cumbersome process. Herein, we describe an in silico screening approach designed to propose a small number of optimal combinations. By applying this computational approach to human carbonic anhydrase and a set of three photochromic tethered ligands, the number of potential site-ligand combinations was narrowed from over 750 down to 6, which we then evaluated experimentally. Two of these six combinations resulted in light-responsive human Carbonic Anhydrases (LihCAs), which were characterized with enzymatic activity assays, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. Our study also provides insights into the reactivity of cysteines toward maleimides and the hydrolytic stability of the adducts obtained.
