Rogers JI, Mukherjee J, Khalifah RG: Interaction of amide inhibitors with the active site of carbonic anhydrase: metal-induced deprotonation of the bound amide group is indicated by slow binding kinetics, by visible spectra of complexes with cobalt enzyme, and by pH effects on binding affinity. Biochemistry. 1987 Sep 8;26(18):5672-9.
Most carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors bind at the active site metal and either are anions or are capable of deprotonation to yield anions. Much less is known about the interaction of CA with inhibitors that have hitherto been considered to bind as neutral species. We report a study of the reversible amide inhibition of Co (II)-substituted CA by iodoacetamide and ethyl carbamate (urethane), as well as the ambivalent oxamate, the monoamide of oxalate. Visible cobalt spectral changes indicate coordination of all these inhibitors to the metal. The pH dependence of the affinity of carbonic anhydrase isozyme I (CA I) for ethyl carbamate and iodoacetamide is formally consistent with their binding either as anionic species to the acid form of the enzyme or as neutral species to the basic form of the enzyme. The former view is in better accord with the spectral data. Most strikingly, reversible binding of iodoacetamide and ethyl carbamate leads to uniquely slow kinetics of ligand association and dissociation that could be followed by simple mixing. The slow association kinetics suggest the involvement of energetically unfavorable deprotonation of the amide group preceding final coordination. The complex pH profile for inhibition of CA I by the ambivalent oxamate is consistent with coordination through the carboxylate group at low pH and through the deprotonated amide group at high pH. The visible spectrum of the complex of Co (II) CA I with oxamate shows a parallel dependence on pH, reflecting this dual coordination mode. Similarly, oxamate dissociation kinetics were biphasic and could be correlated with the pH-dependent spectral changes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
