The interaction of carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes I and II with a series of As(III) derivatives, dialkyl and diaryl rac-2,3-dimyristoyloxypropyldithioarsonites, was investigated kinetically and spectrophotometrically, utilizing the native and Co(II)-substituted enzymes. Depending on the substitution pattern at the -As(SR)2 moiety of the investigated derivatives, inactive compounds were found for R = phenyl or naphthyl, and active ones for derivatives containing carboxyl groups (R = CH2COOH, cysteinyl and glutathionyl). Together with the arsonolipids previously investigated, the active compounds of this series - the "lipothioarsenites"- constitute a novel class of CA inhibitors that bind to the metal ion within the enzyme active site, as proved by changes in the electronic spectra of adducts of such inhibitors with Co(II)CA.

Kinetic Investigations

The interactions of Zn(II)- and Co(II)-substituted carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes I and II with amine type activators such as histamine, serotonin, phenetylamine dopamine and benzylhydrazine have been investigated kinetically, and spectroscopically. All of such activators are of the non-competitive type towards CO2 hydration and 4-nitrophenylacetate hydrolysis for both human isozymes (HCA I and HCA II). The electronic spectra of the adducts of Co(II)CA with amine activators are similar to the spectrum of the previously reported Co(II)CAII-phenol adduct, the only known competitive inhibitor towards CO2 hydration, where the phenol molecule binds into the hydrophobic pocket of the active site. This is a direct spectroscopic evidence that the activator molecules bind within the active site, but not directly to the metal ion. Recent X-ray crystallographic data for the adduct of HCA II with histamine show that the activator molecule is bound at the entrance of the active site cavity, near to residues His 64, Asn 62 and Gln 92, where actively aids in shuttling protons between the active site and the environment. Similar arrangements probably occur for the other activators reported in the present paper.

Hydrolysis Of

An 8-thionocephalosporin was shown to be a substrate of the beta-lactamase II of Bacillus cereus, a zinc metalloenzyme. Although it is a poorer substrate, as judged by the Kcat./Km parameter, than the corresponding 8-oxocephalosporin, the discrimination against sulphur decreased when the bivalent metal ion in the enzyme active site was varied in the order Mn2+ (the manganese enzyme catalysed the hydrolysis of the oxo compound but not that of the thiono compound), Zn2+, Co2+ and Cd2+. This result is taken as evidence for kinetically significant direct contact between the active-site metal ion of beta-lactamase II and the beta-lactam carbonyl heteroatom. No evidence was obtained, however, for accumulation of an intermediate with such co-ordination present.

In continuation of our efforts to identify promising antileishmanial agents based on the chroman scaffold, we synthesized several substituted 2H-thiochroman derivatives, including thiochromenes, thichromanones and hydrazones substituted in C-2 or C-3 with carbonyl or carboxyl groups. Thirty-two compounds were thus obtained, characterized, and evaluated against intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania (V) panamensis. Twelve compounds were active, with EC50 values lower than 40 µM, but only four compounds displayed the highest antileishmanial activity, with EC50 values below 10 µM; these all compounds possess a good Selectivity Index > 2.6. Although two active compounds were thiochromenes, a clear structure-activity relationship was not detected since each active compound has a different substitution pattern.

Dopachrome tautomerase (DCT; EC 5.3.3.12) catalyses the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid in the mammalian eumelanogenic biosynthetic pathway. This enzyme, also named TRP2, belongs to a family of three metalloenzymes termed the tyrosinase-related proteins (TRPs). It is well known that tyrosinase has copper in its active site. However, the nature of the metal ion in the active site of DCT is under discussion. Whereas theoretical predictions based on similarity between the protein sequences of the TRPs suggest the presence of copper, the different inhibition pattern of DCT with some metal chelators compared with that of tyrosinase suggests that the nature of the metal ion could differ. Direct estimations of the metal content in purified DCT preparations show the presence of around 1.5 Zn atoms/molecule and the absence of copper. Apoenzyme preparation by treatment of DCT with cyanide or o-phenanthroline followed by reconstitution experiments of tautomerase activity in the presence of different ions confirmed that the metal cofactor for the DCT active site is zinc. Our results are consistent with Zn2+ chelation by the highly conserved histidine residues homologous to the histidines at the classical copper-binding sites in tyrosinase. This finding accounts for the reaction catalysed by DCT, i.e. a tautomerization, versus the copper-mediated oxidations catalysed by tyrosinase. Based on the predicted tetrahedrical co-ordination of the zinc ions in the enzyme active site, a molecular mechanism for the catalysis of L-dopachrome tautomerization is proposed. From the present data, the existence of additional ligands for metal ions other than zinc in the DCT molecule, such as the proposed cysteine iron-binding sites, cannot be completely ruled out. However, if such sites exist, they could be subsidiary binding sites, whose function would be likely to stabilize the protein.

Cyclic Dinucleotides

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) have emerged as the central molecules that aid bacteria to adapt and thrive in changing environmental conditions. Therefore, tight regulation of intracellular CDN concentration by counteracting the action of dinucleotide cyclases and phosphodiesterases (PDEs) is critical. Here, we demonstrate that a putative stand-alone EAL domain PDE from Vibrio cholerae (VcEAL) is capable to degrade both the second messenger c-di-GMP and hybrid 3′3′-cyclic GMP–AMP (cGAMP). To unveil their degradation mechanism, we have determined high-resolution crystal structures of VcEAL with Ca2+, c-di-GMP-Ca2+, 5′-pGpG-Ca2+ and cGAMP-Ca2+, the latter provides the first structural basis of cGAMP hydrolysis. Structural studies reveal a typical triosephosphate isomerase barrel-fold with substrate c-di-GMP/cGAMP bound in an extended conformation. Highly conserved residues specifically bind the guanine base of c-di-GMP/cGAMP in the G2 site while the semi-conserved nature of residues at the G1 site could act as a specificity determinant. Two metal ions, co-ordinated with six stubbornly conserved residues and two non-bridging scissile phosphate oxygens of c-di-GMP/cGAMP, activate a water molecule for an in-line attack on the phosphodiester bond, supporting two-metal ion-based catalytic mechanism. PDE activity and biofilm assays of several prudently designed mutants collectively demonstrate that VcEAL active site is charge and size optimized. Intriguingly, in VcEAL-5′-pGpG-Ca2+ structure, β5–α5 loop adopts a novel conformation that along with conserved E131 creates a new metal-binding site. This novel conformation along with several subtle changes in the active site designate VcEAL-5′-pGpG-Ca2+ structure quite different from other 5′-pGpG bound structures reported earlier.

Ethylenediphosphinetetraacetic acid is bonded to metal ions in aqueous solutions in four ways, depending on the type of metal ion: 1) through an ionic bond of the carboxylic groups to form weak complexes with a metal:ligand ratio of 1 : 1 (Ca(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), La(III)); 2) through type 1) bond with contributions from weak interaction with the phosphorus (Cd(II)); 3) through coordination of the ligand as a monodentate P-donor with the free carboxyl groups with formation of 2 : 1 and 1 : 1 complexes (Cu(I), Ag(I)); 4) through formation of square planar or, for Hg(II), tetrahedral complexes with a ratio of 1 : 2 with the ligand as a bidentate PP-donor with the free carboxyl groups (Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II)). On acidification of the complex solution, the first two protons are bonded to the carboxyl groups. The behaviour during further protonation depends on the type of complex: in complexes of types 1) and 2) phosphorus is protonated and the complex dissociates; in complexes of types 3) and 4) the free carboxyl groups are protonated and the phosphorus-metal bond remains intact. The results are based on correlation of the stability constants, UV-visible, infrared, 1H and 31P NMR spectra and magnetic susceptibilities of the complexes in aqueous solution.
