| Abstract: | The imidazole ^<15>N signals of histidine 64 (His^<64>), involved in the catalytic function of human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII), were assigned unambiguously. This was accomplished by incorporating the labeled histidine as probes for solution NMR analysis, with ^<15>N at ring-N <δ1> and N^<∈2>, ^<13>C at ring-C∈1, ^<13>C and ^<15>N at all carbon and nitrogen, or ^<15>N at the amide nitrogen and the labeled glycine with ^<13>C at the carbonyl carbon. Using the pH dependence of ring-^<15>N signals and a comparison between experimental and simulated curves, we determined that the tautomeric equilibrium constant (K_T) of His^<64> is 1.0, which differs from that of other histidine residues. This unique value characterizes the imidazole nitrogen atoms of His^<64> as both a general acid (a) and base (b): its ∈2-nitrogen as (a) releases one proton into the bulk, whereas itsδ1-nitrogen as (b) extracts another proton from a water molecule within the water bridge coupling to the zinc-bound water inside the cave. This accelerates the generation of zinc-bound hydroxide to react with the carbon dioxide. Releasing the productive bicarbonate ion from the inside separates the water bridge pathway, in which the next water molecules move into beside zinc ion. A new water molecule is supplied from the bulk to near the δ1-nitrogen of His^<64>. These reconstitute the water bridge. Based on these features, we suggest here a catalytic mechanism for hCAII: the tautomerization of His^<64> can mediate the transfers of both protons and water molecules at a neutral pH with high efficiency, requiring no time- or energy-consuming processes. |
