Abstract
Imidazole is a five-membered heterocycle that is part of a number of biologically important molecules such as the amino acid histidine and the hormone histamine. Imidazole has a unique ability to participate in a variety of non-covalent interactions involving the NH group, the pyridine-like nitrogen atom or the π-system. For many biologically active compounds containing the imidazole moiety, its participation in formation of hydrogen bond NH⋯O/N and following proton transfer is the key step of mechanism of their action. In this work a systematic study of the mutual influence of various paired combinations of non-covalent interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonds and π-interactions) involving the imidazole moiety was performed by means of quantum chemistry (PW6B95-GD3/def2-QZVPD) for a series of model systems constructed based on analysis of available x-ray data. It is shown that for considered complexes formation of additional non-covalent interactions can only enhance the proton-donating ability of imidazole. At the same time, its proton-accepting ability can be both enhanced and weakened, depending on what additional interactions are added to a given system. The mutual influence of non-covalent interactions involving imidazole can be classified as weak geometric and strong energetic cooperativity-a small change in the length of non-covalent interaction formed by imidazole can strongly influence its strength. The latter can be used to develop methods for controlling the rate and selectivity of chemical reactions involving the imidazole fragment in larger systems. It is shown that the strong mutual influence of non-covalent interactions involving imidazole is due to the unique ability of the imidazole ring to effectively redistribute electron density in non-covalently bound systems with its participation.

Abstract
Considering the unrecognised physio-pathological role of human carbonic anhydrase III (hCA III), a structure-based drug design was set up to identify the first-in-class potent and selective inhibitors of this neglected isoform. hCA III targeting was planned considering a unique feature of its active site among the other hCA isoforms, i.e. the Leu198/Phe198 substitution which interferes with the binding of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and other inhibitors. Thus, new aliphatic primary sulfonamides possessing long and flexible (CH2)nSO2NH2 moieties were designed to coordinate the zinc(II) ion, bypassing the bulky Phe198 residue. They incorporate 1,2,3-triazole linkers which connect the tail moieties to the sulfonamide head, enhancing thus the contacts at the active site entrance. Some of these compounds act as nanomolar and selective inhibitors of hCA III over other isoforms. Docking/molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate ligand/target interactions for these sulfonamides which might improve our understanding of the physio-pathological roles of hCA III.

Abstract
L-Amino acid oxidase (LAAO) is an enzyme found in snake venom that has multifaceted effects, including the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) during oxidative reactions, leading to various biological and pharmacological outcomes such as apoptosis, cytotoxicity, modulation of platelet aggregation, hemorrhage, and neutrophil activation. Human neutrophils respond to LAAO by enhancing chemotaxis, and phagocytosis, and releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory mediators. Exosomes cellular nanovesicles play vital roles in intercellular communication, including immune responses. This study investigates the impact of Calloselasma rhodostoma snake venom-derived LAAO (Cr-LAAO) on human neutrophil exosome release, including activation patterns, exosome formation, and content. Neutrophils isolated from healthy donors were stimulated with Cr-LAAO (100 μg/mL) for 3 h, followed by exosome isolation and analysis. Results show that Cr-LAAO induces the release of exosomes with distinct protein content compared to the negative control. Proteomic analysis reveals proteins related to the regulation of immune responses and blood coagulation. This study uncovers Cr-LAAO's ability to activate human neutrophils, leading to exosome release and facilitating intercellular communication, offering insights into potential therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and immunological disorders.

Abstract
Acipimox, a nicotinic acid derivative in clinical use for the treatment of hyperlipidaemia, incorporates a free carboxylic acid and an N-oxide moiety, functionalities known to interact with the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) and inhibit its activity. Herein we report that acipimox acts as a low micromolar CA inhibitor (CAI) against most human (h) isoforms possessing catalytic activity, hCA I – XIV. By using computational techniques (docking and molecular dynamics simulations), we propose that acipimox coordinates through its carboxylate group to the zinc ion from the enzyme active site cavity, whereas the N-oxide group is hydrogen-bonded to the proton shuttle His residue in some isoforms (hCA I) or to active site Thr or Gln residues in other isoforms (hCA II, III, IV, VII, etc). As some CA isoforms are involved in lipogenesis, these data may be useful for the design of more effective CAIs with antiobesity activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a key enzyme that mediates the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Skeletal muscles contain high levels of the cytosolic isoform CA3. This enzyme has antioxidative function and plays a crucial role in the maintenance of intracellular pH homeostasis. AREAS COVERED Since elevated levels of serum CA3, often in combination with other muscle-specific proteins, are routinely used as a marker of general muscle damage, it was of interest to examine recent analyses of this enzyme carried out by modern proteomics. This review summarizes the mass spectrometry-based identification and evaluation of CA3 in normal, adapting, dystrophic, and aging skeletal muscle tissues. EXPERT OPINION The mass spectrometric characterization of CA3 confirmed this enzyme as a highly useful marker of both physiological and pathophysiological alterations in skeletal muscles. Cytosolic CA3 is clearly enriched in slow-twitching type I fibers, which makes it an ideal marker for studying fiber type shifting and muscle adaptations. Importantly, neuromuscular diseases feature distinct alterations in CA3 in skeletal muscle tissues versus biofluids, such as serum. Characteristic changes of CA3 in age-related muscle wasting and dystrophinopathy established this enzyme as a suitable biomarker candidate for differential diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression and therapeutic impact.

Abstract
We investigate the coupling between the proton transfer (PT) energetics and the protein-solvent dynamics using the intra-molecular PT in wild type (wt) human carbonic anhydrase II and its ten-fold faster mutant Y7F/N67Q as a test case. We calculate the energy variation upon PT, and from that we also calculate the PT reaction free energy, making use of a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular dynamics approach. In agreement with the experimental data, we obtain that the reaction free energy is basically the same in the two systems. Yet, we show that the instantaneous PT energy is on average lower in the mutant possibly contributing to the faster PT rate. Analysis of the contribution to the PT energetics of the solvent and of each protein residue, also not in the vicinity of the active site, provides evidence for electrostatic tuning of the PT energy arising from the combined effect of the solvent and the protein environment. These findings open up a way to the more general task of the rational design of mutants with either enhanced or reduced PT rate.

Abstract
The aim of rational drug design is to develop small molecules using a quantitative approach to optimize affinity. This should enhance the development of chemical compounds that would specifically, selectively, reversibly, and with high affinity interact with a target protein. It is not yet possible to develop such compounds using computational (i.e., in silico) approach and instead the lead molecules are discovered in high-throughput screening searches of large compound libraries. The main reason why in silico methods are not capable to deliver is our poor understanding of the compound structure-thermodynamics and structure-kinetics correlations. There is a need for databases of intrinsic binding parameters (e.g., the change upon binding in standard Gibbs energy (ΔGint), enthalpy (ΔHint), entropy (ΔSint), volume (ΔVintr), heat capacity (ΔCp,int), association rate (ka,int), and dissociation rate (kd,int)) between a series of closely related proteins and a chemically diverse, but pharmacophoric group-guided library of compounds together with the co-crystal structures that could help explain the structure-energetics correlations and rationally design novel compounds. Assembly of these data will facilitate attempts to provide correlations and train data for modeling of compound binding. Here, we report large datasets of the intrinsic thermodynamic and kinetic data including over 400 primary sulfonamide compound binding to a family of 12 catalytically active human carbonic anhydrases (CA). Thermodynamic parameters have been determined by the fluorescent thermal shift assay, isothermal titration calorimetry, and by the stopped-flow assay of the inhibition of enzymatic activity. Kinetic measurements were performed using surface plasmon resonance. Intrinsic thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of binding were determined by dissecting the binding-linked protonation reactions of the protein and sulfonamide. The compound structure-thermodynamics and kinetics correlations reported here helped to discover compounds that exhibited picomolar affinities, hour-long residence times, and million-fold selectivities over non-target CA isoforms. Drug-lead compounds are suggested for anticancer target CA IX and CA XII, antiglaucoma CA IV, antiobesity CA VA and CA VB, and other isoforms. Together with 85 X-ray crystallographic structures of 60 compounds bound to six CA isoforms, the database should be of help to continue developing the principles of rational target-based drug design.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases are a family of enzymes that catalyze the reversible condensation of water and carbon dioxide to carbonic acid, which spontaneously dissociates to bicarbonate. Carbonic anhydrase III (Car3) is nutritionally regulated at both the mRNA and protein level. It is highly enriched in tissues that synthesize and/or store fat: liver, white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. Previous characterization of Car3 knockout mice focused on mice fed standard diets, not high-fat diets that significantly alter the tissues that highly express Car3. We observed lower protein levels of Car3 in high-fat diet fed mice treated with niclosamide, a drug published to improve fatty liver symptoms in mice. However, it is unknown if Car3 is simply a biomarker reflecting lipid accumulation or whether it has a functional role in regulating lipid metabolism. We focused our in vitro studies toward metabolic pathways that require bicarbonate. To further determine the role of Car3 in metabolism, we measured de novo fatty acid synthesis with in vitro radiolabeled experiments and examined metabolic biomarkers in Car3 knockout and wild type mice fed high-fat diet. Specifically, we analyzed body weight, body composition, metabolic rate, insulin resistance, serum and tissue triglycerides. Our results indicate that Car3 is not required for de novo lipogenesis, and Car3 knockout mice fed high-fat diet do not have significant differences in responses to various diets to wild type mice.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) III and VII are two cytosolic isoforms of the α-CA family which catalyze the physiological reaction of carbon dioxide hydration to bicarbonate and proton. Despite these two enzymes share a 49% sequence identity and present a very similar three-dimensional structure, they show profound differences when comparing the specific activity for CO2 hydration reaction, with CA VII being much more active than CA III. Recently, CA III and CA VII have been proposed to play a new role as scavenger enzymes in cells where oxidative damage occurs. Here, we will examine functional and structural features of these two isoforms giving insights into their newly proposed protective role against oxidative stress.

Abstract
The role of protein dynamics in enzyme catalysis is one of the most highly debated topics in enzymology. The main controversy centers around what may be defined as functionally significant conformational fluctuations and how, if at all, these fluctuations couple to enzyme catalyzed events. To shed light on this debate, the conformational dynamics along the transition path surmounting the highest free energy barrier have been herein investigated for the rate limiting proton transport event in human carbonic anhydrase (HCA) II. Special attention has been placed on whether the motion of an excess proton is correlated with fluctuations in the surrounding protein and solvent matrix, which may be rare on the picosecond and subpicosecond time scales of molecular motions. It is found that several active site residues, which do not directly participate in the proton transport event, have a significant impact on the dynamics of the excess proton. These secondary participants are shown to strongly influence the active site environment, resulting in the creation of water clusters that are conducive to fast, moderately slow, or slow proton transport events. The identification and characterization of these secondary participants illuminates the role of protein dynamics in the catalytic efficiency of HCA II.

Abstract
An HPLC-size exclusion method was developed as an assay method to evaluate the binding of tested compounds with carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) enzyme. Inhibition of CAIII by a group of benzoic acid analogues was characterized by vacancy (negative) peak intensity representing the fraction of the compounds bound with CAIII enzyme. Interestingly, p-hydroxyl benzoic acid and aspirin were found potent inhibitors against CAIII with affinity constants of 9954 and 9013 M(-1) respectively. Affinity values of twenty training compounds were modeled against thirty-five descriptors derived from their structures. Strong correlation was obtained between the affinity values and the formal charge of the molecules. Docking studies on training set compounds generated consensus scores having a strong agreement with affinity factors obtained from the chromatographic analysis.

Abstract
Transport metabolons have been discussed between carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) and several membrane transporters. We have now studied different CA isoforms, expressed in Xenopus oocytes alone and together with the electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter 1 (NBCe1), to determine their catalytic activity and their ability to enhance NBCe1 transport activity. pH measurements in intact oocytes indicated similar activity of CAI, CAII and CAIII, while in vitro CAIII had no measurable activity and CAI only 30% of the activity of CAII. All three CA isoforms increased transport activity of NBCe1, as measured by the transport current and the rate of intracellular sodium rise in oocytes. Two CAII mutants, altered in their intramolecular proton pathway, CAII-H64A and CAII-Y7F, showed significant catalytic activity and also enhanced NBCe1 transport activity. The effect of CAI, CAII, and CAII mutants on NBCe1 activity could be reversed by blocking CA activity with ethoxyzolamide (EZA, 10 µM), while the effect of the less EZA-sensitive CAIII was not reversed. Our results indicate that different CA isoforms and mutants, even if they show little enzymatic activity in vitro, may display significant catalytic activity in intact cells, and that the ability of CA to enhance NBCe1 transport appears to depend primarily on its catalytic activity.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) catalyze the reversible hydration of CO(2) to HCO(3)(-) and H(+). The rate-limiting step in this reaction is the shuttle of protons between the catalytic center of the enzyme and the bulk solution. In carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), the fastest and most wide-spread isoform, this H(+) shuttle is facilitated by the side chain of His64, whereas CA isoforms such as carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII), which lack such a shuttle, have only low catalytic activity in vitro. By using heterologous protein expression in Xenopus oocytes, we tested the role of this intramolecular H(+) shuttle on CA activity in an intact cell. The data revealed that CAIII, shown in vitro to have ∼1,000-fold reduced activity as compared with CAII, displays significant catalytic activity in the intact cell. Furthermore, we tested the hypothesis that the H(+) shuttle in CAII itself can facilitate transport activity of the monocarboxylate transporters 1 and 4 (MCT1/4) independent of catalytic activity. Our results show that His64 is essential for the enhancement of lactate transport via MCT1/4, because a mutation of this residue to alanine (CAII-H64A) abolishes the CAII-induced increase in MCT1/4 activity. However, injection of 4-methylimidazole, which acts as an exogenous H(+) donor/acceptor, can restore the ability of CAII-H64A to enhance transport activity of MCT1/4. These findings support the hypothesis that the H(+) shuttle in CAII not only facilitates CAII catalytic activity but also can enhance activity of acid-/base-transporting proteins such as MCT1/4 in a direct, noncatalytic manner, possibly by acting as an "H(+)-collecting antenna."

Abstract
The selectivity of a known arylsulfonamides inhibitor for two isozymes II and VII of human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) was studied by homology modeling, molecular docking and molecular dynamics methods. The results show that the selectivity of the inhibitor for two isozymes is due to the different side chain lengths between N67 of hCA II and Q64 of hCA VII. One more methene group in the side chain of Q64 of hCA VII makes it possible to form the hydrogen bond with the bromide atom of the known inhibitor. From the point of view, the modification to the known inhibitor was performed to obtain an inhibitor with higher selectivity. The complex conformations of the new designed inhibitor and two isozymes designate the formation of the hydrogen bond between the newly added group (hydroxypropyl group) and Q64 of hCA VII but N67 of hCA II. The results of the binding free energy from the MM/PBSA approach also prove the selectivity improvement of the new inhibitor in comparison with the known inhibitor. The work will help the design of the isozyme-specific inhibitors of hCA VII.

Abstract
Golgi alpha-mannosidase II (GMII) is a key glycosyl hydrolase in the N-linked glycosylation pathway. It catalyzes the removal of two different mannosyl linkages of GlcNAcMan(5)GlcNAc(2), which is the committed step in complex N-glycan synthesis. Inhibition of this enzyme has shown promise in certain cancers in both laboratory and clinical settings. Here we present the high-resolution crystal structure of a nucleophile mutant of Drosophila melanogaster GMII (dGMII) bound to its natural oligosaccharide substrate and an oligosaccharide precursor as well as the structure of the unliganded mutant. These structures allow us to identify three sugar-binding subsites within the larger active site cleft. Our results allow for the formulation of the complete catalytic process of dGMII, which involves a specific order of bond cleavage, and a major substrate rearrangement in the active site. This process is likely conserved for all GMII enzymes-but not in the structurally related lysosomal mannosidase-and will form the basis for the design of specific inhibitors against GMII.

Abstract
The cytosolic human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozyme III (hCA III) has been cloned and purified by the GST-fusion protein method. Recombinant pure hCA III had the following kinetic parameters for the CO(2) hydration reaction at 20 degrees C and pH 7.5: k(cat) of 1.3 x 10(4) s(-1) and k(cat)/K(M) of 2.5 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), being a slower catalyst for the physiological reaction as compared to the genetically related cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II. An inhibition study with a library of sulfonamides and one sulfamate, some which are clinically used compounds, is reported. hCA III is less prone to be inhibited by these compounds as compared to hCA I and II for which many low nanomolar inhibitors were detected earlier. The best hCA III inhibitors were prontosil, sulpiride, indisulam, benzolamide, aminobenzolamide, and 4-amino-6-chloro-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide which showed K(I)s in the range of 2.3-18.1 microM. Clinically used compounds such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, topiramate, zonisamide, celecoxib, and valdecoxib were less effective hCA III inhibitors, with affinities in the range of 154-2200 microM. This is the first study in which low micromolar hCA III inhibitors are reported.
