Activation studies with amines and amino acids of the β-carbonic anhydrase encoded by the Rv3273 gene from the pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry 2018 December
The activation of a β-class carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, encoded by the gene Rv3273 (mtCA 3), was investigated using a panel of natural and non-natural amino acids and amines. mtCA 3 was effectively activated by D-DOPA, L-Trp, dopamine and serotonin, with KA s ranging between 8.98 and 12.1 µM. L-His and D-Tyr showed medium potency activating effects, with KA s in the range of 17.6-18.2 µM, whereas other amines and amino acids were relatively ineffective activators, with KA s in the range of 28.9-52.2 µM. As the physiological roles of the three mtCAs present in this pathogen are currently poorly understood and considering that inhibition of these enzymes has strong antibacterial effects, discovering molecules that modulate their enzymatic activity may lead to a better understanding of the factors related to the invasion and colonisation of the host during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
