Abstract

Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to change one amino acid residue considered non essential (Phe91Asn) to catalysis in carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozyme I (hCA I), but which is near the substrate binding pocket of the enzyme. This change led to a steady increase of 16% of the catalytic activity of the mutant hCA I over the wild type enzyme, which is a gain of 50% catalytic efficiency if one compares hCA I and hCA II as catalysts for CO(2) hydration. This effect may be due to the bigger hydrophobic pocket in the mutant enzyme compared to the wild type one, which probably leads to the reorganization of the solvent molecules present in the cavity and to a diverse proton transfer pathway in the mutant over the non mutated enzyme. To our surprise, the mutant CA I was not only a better catalyst for the physiologic reaction, but in many cases also showed higher affinity (2.6-15.9 times) for sulfonamide/sulfamate inhibitors compared to the wild type enzyme. As the residue in position 91 is highly variable among the 13 catalytically active CA isoforms, this study may shed a better understanding of catalysis/inhibition by this superfamily of enzymes.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
