The hydrogen bond network influence on the carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) zinc binding site has been studied theoretically by using the semiempirical AM1 method. To this aim, quantum mechanical reduced models of wild-type CAII and several CAII variants have been constructed. We have shown that, when a direct metal ligand donates a hydrogen bond to an indirect metal ligand, the first-shell residues enhance their electrostatic interaction with the zinc cation. Thus, the hydrogen-bond network is able to modulate the zinc binding affinity and the zinc-water pKa.Key words: hydrogen bond network, carbonic anhydrase II, Zn2+ metalloenzyme ligands.

The binding of anions to carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) has been attributed to high affinity for the active-site zinc. An anion of interest is cyanate, for which contrasting binding modes have been reported in the literature. Previous spectroscopic data have shown cyanate behaving as an inhibitor, directly binding to the zinc, in contrast to previous crystallographic data that implied that cyanate acts as a substrate mimic that is not directly bound to the zinc but overlaps with the binding site of the substrate CO2. Wild-type and the V207I variant of CA II have been expressed and X-ray crystal structures of their cyanate complexes have been determined to 1.7 and 1.5 Å resolution, respectively. The rationale for the V207I CA II variant was its close proximity to the CO2-binding site. Both structures clearly show that the cyanate binds directly to the zinc. In addition, inhibition constants (∼40 µM) were measured using18O-exchange mass spectrometry for wild-type and V207I CA II and were similar to those determined previously (Supuranet al., 1997). Hence, it is concluded that under the conditions of these experiments the binding of cyanate to CA II is directly to the zinc, displacing the zinc-bound solvent molecule, and not in a site that overlaps with the CO2substrate-binding site.
