Abstract
Drug-resistant gonorrhea is caused by the bacterial pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae, for which there is no recommended oral treatment. We have demonstrated that the FDA-approved human carbonic anhydrase inhibitor ethoxzolamide potently inhibits N. gonorrhoeae; however, is not effective at reducing N. gonorrhoeae bioburden in a mouse model. Thus, we sought to optimize the pharmacokinetic properties of the ethoxzolamide scaffold. These efforts resulted in analogs with improved activity against N. gonorrhoeae, increased metabolic stability in mouse liver microsomes, and improved Caco-2 permeability compared to ethoxzolamide. Improvement in these properties resulted in increased plasma exposure in vivo after oral dosing. Top compounds were investigated for in vivo efficacy in a vaginal mouse model of gonococcal genital tract infection, and they significantly decreased the gonococcal burden compared to vehicle and ethoxzolamide controls. Altogether, results from this study provide evidence that ethoxzolamide-based compounds have the potential to be effective oral therapeutics against gonococcal infection.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a zinc-dependent metal enzyme that maintains the pH and carbon dioxide (CO2) homeostasis in cells by catalyzing the reversible hydration and dehydration of CO2 and bicarbonate (HCO3-). In mammals, there are 16 isozymes of CA existed, namely CAI to CAXIV, but only 15 isozymes are found in humans except CAXV. Human CAs have highly conserved catalytic domains, all of which are distributed in different tissues and play important physiological roles. Changes in their functions may disrupt the typical distribution of CAs throughout human body and therefore CAs can be used as diagnostic biomarkers for many diseases. Furthermore, the expression of CAs is correlated to the progression of numerous tumors, therapeutic sensitivity and patient prognosis. In this review, we discuss thoroughly the structure of CAs, their functional activities in human physiology, dysregulations and diseases related to CAs, and different types of CA inhibitors that can reverse their dysregulation.

Abstract
During the past three decades, mice, zebrafish, fruit flies, and Caenorhabditis elegans have been the primary model organisms used for the study of various biological phenomena. These models have also been adopted and developed to investigate the physiological roles of carbonic anhydrases (CAs) and carbonic anhydrase-related proteins (CARPs). These proteins belong to eight CA families and are identified by Greek letters: α, β, γ, δ, ζ, η, θ, and ι. Studies using model organisms have focused on two CA families, α-CAs and β-CAs, which are expressed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms with species-specific distribution patterns and unique functions. This review covers the biological roles of CAs and CARPs in light of investigations performed in model organisms. Functional studies demonstrate that CAs are not only linked to the regulation of pH homeostasis, the classical role of CAs but also contribute to a plethora of previously undescribed functions.

Abstract
Tanning response and melanocyte differentiation are mediated by the central transcription factor MITF. This involves the rapid and selective induction of melanocyte maturation genes, while concomitantly the expression of other effector genes is maintained. In this study, using cell-based and zebrafish model systems, we report on a pH-mediated feed-forward mechanism of epigenetic regulation that enables selective amplification of the melanocyte maturation program. We demonstrate that MITF activation directly elevates the expression of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase 14 (CA14). Nuclear localization of CA14 leads to an increase of the intracellular pH, resulting in the activation of the histone acetyl transferase p300/CBP. In turn, enhanced H3K27 histone acetylation at selected differentiation genes facilitates their amplified expression via MITF. CRISPR-mediated targeted missense mutation of CA14 in zebrafish results in the formation of immature acidic melanocytes with decreased pigmentation, establishing a central role for this mechanism during melanocyte differentiation in vivo. Thus, we describe an epigenetic control system via pH modulation that reinforces cell fate determination by altering chromatin dynamics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The physiologic importance of fast CO2/HCO3- interconversion in various tissues requires the presence of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). Fourteen CA isozymes are present in humans, all of them being used as biomarkers. AREAS COVERED A great number of patents and articles were focused on the use of CA isozymes as biomarkers for various diseases and syndromes in the recent years, in an ascending trend over the last decade. The review highlights the most important studies related with each isozyme and covers the most recent patent literature. EXPERT OPINION The CAs biomarker research area expanded significantly in recent years, shifting from the predominant use of CA IX and CA XII in cancer diagnostic, staging, and prognosis towards a wider use of CA isozymes as disease biomarkers. CA isozymes are currently used either alone, in tandem with other CA isozymes and/or in combination with other proteins for the detection, staging, and prognosis of a huge repertoire of human dysfunctions and diseases, ranging from mild transformation of the normal tissues to extreme shifts in tissue organization and function. The techniques used for their detection/quantitation and the state-of-the-art in each clinical application are presented through relevant clinical examples and corresponding statistical data.

Abstract
CA IX has attracted much attention as a promising target for the development of new anticancer agents. In this study, a series of sulfonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as potential CA IX inhibitors from a lead compound (benzoyl thioureido benzene sulfonamide) discovered by virtual screening. The bioassay demonstrated that some of the synthesized compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activity against CA IX in the subnanomolar range and high selectivity over isozymes CA I and CA II. Among them, compound 6a displayed inhibitory activity against CA IX with an IC50 value of 0.48 nM and about 1500-fold selectivity over CA II. The structure-activity relationship and CA IX selectivity of the new sulfonamide derivatives were also analyzed by molecular docking.

Abstract
The pH of the tumor microenvironment drives the metastatic phenotype and chemotherapeutic resistance of tumors. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this pH-dependent phenomenon will lead to improved drug delivery and allow the identification of new therapeutic targets. This includes an understanding of the role pH plays in primary tumor cells, and the regulatory factors that permit cancer cells to thrive. Over the last decade, carbonic anhydrases (CAs) have been shown to be important mediators of tumor cell pH by modulating the bicarbonate and proton concentrations for cell survival and proliferation. This has prompted an effort to inhibit specific CA isoforms, as an anti-cancer therapeutic strategy. Of the 12 active CA isoforms, two, CA IX and XII, have been considered anti-cancer targets. However, other CA isoforms also show similar activity and tissue distribution in cancers and have not been considered as therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. In this review, we consider all the CA isoforms and their possible role in tumors and their potential as targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The H(+) concentration in human blood is kept within very narrow limits, ~40 nmol/L, despite the fact that dietary metabolism generates acid and base loads that are added to the systemic circulation throughout the life of mammals. One of the primary functions of the kidney is to maintain the constancy of systemic acid-base chemistry. The kidney has evolved the capacity to regulate blood acidity by performing three key functions: (i) reabsorb HCO3(-) that is filtered through the glomeruli to prevent its excretion in the urine; (ii) generate a sufficient quantity of new HCO3(-) to compensate for the loss of HCO3(-) resulting from dietary metabolic H(+) loads and loss of HCO3(-) in the urea cycle; and (iii) excrete HCO3(-) (or metabolizable organic anions) following a systemic base load. The ability of the kidney to perform these functions requires that various cell types throughout the nephron respond to changes in acid-base chemistry by modulating specific ion transport and/or metabolic processes in a coordinated fashion such that the urine and renal vein chemistry is altered appropriately. The purpose of the article is to provide the interested reader with a broad review of a field that began historically ~60 years ago with whole animal studies, and has evolved to where we are currently addressing questions related to kidney acid-base regulation at the single protein structure/function level.

Abstract
The alpha carbonic anhydrases (α-CAs) are a group of structurally related zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2 to HCO3−. Humans have 15 different α-CAs with numerous physiological roles and expression patterns. Of these, 12 are catalytically active, and abnormal expression and activities are linked with various diseases, including glaucoma and cancer. Hence there is a need for CA isoform specific inhibitors to avoid off-target CA inhibition, but due to the high amino acid conservation of the active site and surrounding regions between each enzyme, this has proven difficult. However, residues towards the exit of the active site are variable and can be exploited to design isoform selective inhibitors. Here we discuss and characterize this region of “selective drug targetability” and how these observations can be utilized to develop isoform selective CA inhibitors.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. These enzymes are of ancient origin as they are found in the deepest of branches of the evolutionary tree. Of the five different classes of carbonic anhydrases, the alpha class has perhaps received the most attention because of its role in human pathology. This review focuses on the physiological function of this class of carbonic anhydrases organized by their cellular location.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase IV is one of 12 active human isozymes and one of four expressed on the extracellular surfaces of certain endothelial and epithelial cells. It is unique in being attached to the plasma membrane by a glycosyl-phosphatiydyl-inositol (GPI) anchor rather than by a membrane-spanning domain. It is also uniquely resistant to high concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), which allows purification from tissues by inhibitor affinity chromatography without contamination by other isozymes. This unique resistance to SDS and recovery following denaturation is explained by the two disulfide bonds. The 35-kDa human CA IV is a "high activity" isozyme in CO2 hydration activity, like CA II, and has higher activity than other isozymes in catalyzing the dehydration of HCO3 (-). Human CA IV is also unique in that it contains no oligosaccharide chains, where all other mammalian CA IVs are glycoproteins with one to several oligosaccharide side chains.Although CA IV has been shown to be active in mediating CO2 and HCO3 (-) transport in many important tissues like kidney and lung, and in isolated cells from brain and muscle, the gene for CA IV appears not to be essential. The CA IV knockout mouse produced by targeted mutagenesis, though slightly smaller and produced in lower than expected numbers, is viable and has no obvious mutant phenotype. Conversely, several dominant negative mutations in humans are associated with one form of reitinitis pigmentosa (RP-17), which we attribute to unfolded protein accumulation in the choreocapillaris, leading to apoptosis of cells in the overlying retina.

Abstract
Proximal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) (Type II RTA) is characterized by a defect in the ability to reabsorb HCO3 in the proximal tubule. This is usually manifested as bicarbonate wastage in the urine reflecting that the defect in proximal tubular transport is severe enough that the capacity for bicarbonate reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and more distal nephron segments is overwhelmed. More subtle defects in proximal bicarbonate transport likely go clinically unrecognized owing to compensatory reabsorption of bicarbonate distally. Inherited proximal RTA is more commonly autosomal recessive and has been associated with mutations in the basolateral sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1). Mutations in this transporter lead to reduced activity and/or trafficking, thus disrupting the normal bicarbonate reabsorption process of the proximal tubules. As an isolated defect for bicarbonate transport, proximal RTA is rare and is more often associated with the Fanconi syndrome characterized by urinary wastage of solutes like phosphate, uric acid, glucose, amino acids, low-molecular-weight proteins as well as bicarbonate. A vast array of rare tubular disorders may cause proximal RTA but most commonly it is induced by drugs. With the exception of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors which cause isolated proximal RTA, drug-induced proximal RTA is associated with Fanconi syndrome. Drugs that have been recently recognized to cause severe proximal RTA with Fanconi syndrome include ifosfamide, valproic acid and various antiretrovirals such as Tenofovir particularly when given to human immunodeficiency virus patients receiving concomitantly protease inhibitors such as ritonavir or reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as didanosine.

Abstract
The kidney plays a fundamental role in maintaining body salt and fluid balance and blood pressure homeostasis through the actions of its proximal and distal tubular segments of nephrons. However, proximal tubules are well recognized to exert a more prominent role than distal counterparts. Proximal tubules are responsible for reabsorbing approximately 65% of filtered load and most, if not all, of filtered amino acids, glucose, solutes, and low molecular weight proteins. Proximal tubules also play a key role in regulating acid-base balance by reabsorbing approximately 80% of filtered bicarbonate. The purpose of this review article is to provide a comprehensive overview of new insights and perspectives into current understanding of proximal tubules of nephrons, with an emphasis on the ultrastructure, molecular biology, cellular and integrative physiology, and the underlying signaling transduction mechanisms. The review is divided into three closely related sections. The first section focuses on the classification of nephrons and recent perspectives on the potential role of nephron numbers in human health and diseases. The second section reviews recent research on the structural and biochemical basis of proximal tubular function. The final section provides a comprehensive overview of new insights and perspectives in the physiological regulation of proximal tubular transport by vasoactive hormones. In the latter section, attention is particularly paid to new insights and perspectives learnt from recent cloning of transporters, development of transgenic animals with knockout or knockin of a particular gene of interest, and mapping of signaling pathways using microarrays and/or physiological proteomic approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The benzothiadiazines and high ceiling diuretics (hydrochlorothiazide, hydroflumethiazide, quinethazone, metolazone, chlorthalidone, indapamide, furosemide and bumetanide) contain primary sulfamoyl moieties acting as zinc-binding groups in the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). These drugs are widely used clinically and were recently shown to weakly inhibit isoforms CA I and II, but to possess stronger activity against isoforms involved in other important pathologies, for example, obesity, cancer, epilepsy and hypertension. AREAS COVERED The class of clinically used diuretics, with CA inhibitory properties, is the main topic of the review. A patent literature review covering the period from 2005 to 2013 is presented. EXPERT OPINION This section presents an overview of the patent literature in the sulfonamide diuretic field. Most of the patents deal with the combination of diuretic sulfonamide CA inhibitors with other agents useful in the management of cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Such combinations exert a better therapeutic activity compared to similar diuretics that do not inhibit CAs, raising the question of the polypharmacological and drug repositioning effects of these old drugs. These effects seem to be due to the potent inhibition of such drugs against CA isoforms present in kidneys and blood vessels, which explain both the blood pressure lowering effects as well as organ-protective activity of the drugs. An explanation of these data is provided by the fact that inhibition of the renal CAs leads to a large increase of the nitrite excretion in urine, suggesting that renal CAs are involved in nitrite reabsorption in humans. Important lessons for the drug design of sulfonamide CA inhibitors (CAIs) can be drawn from these data.

Abstract
Elevations of circulating Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and progression of renal failure in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Efforts to identify gene products whose transcription is directly regulated by FGF23 stimulation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR)/α-Klotho complexes in the kidney is confounded by both systemic alterations in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D metabolism and intrinsic alterations caused by the underlying renal pathology in CKD. To identify FGF23 responsive genes in the kidney that might explain the association between FGF23 and adverse outcomes in CKD, we performed comparative genome wide analysis of gene expression profiles in the kidney of the Collagen 4 alpha 3 null mice (Col4a3−/−) model of progressive kidney disease with kidney expression profiles of Hypophosphatemic (Hyp) and FGF23 transgenic mouse models of elevated FGF23. The different complement of potentially confounding factors in these models allowed us to identify genes that are directly targeted by FGF23. This analysis found that α-Klotho, an anti-aging hormone and FGF23 co-receptor, was decreased by FGF23. We also identified additional FGF23-responsive transcripts and activation of networks associated with renal damage and chronic inflammation, including lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) signaling pathways. Finally, we found that FGF23 suppresses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression in the kidney, thereby providing a pathway for FGF23 regulation of the renin-angiotensin system. These gene products provide a possible mechanistic links between elevated FGF23 and pathways responsible for renal failure progression and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
We have studied lactic acid transport in the fast mouse extensor digitorum longus muscles (EDL) by intracellular and cell surface pH microelectrodes. The role of membrane-bound carbonic anhydrases (CA) of EDL in lactic acid transport was investigated by measuring lactate flux in muscles from wildtype, CAIV-, CAIX- and CAXIV-single ko, CAIV-CAXIV double ko and CAIV-CAIX-CAXIV-triple ko mice. This was complemented by immunocytochemical studies of the subcellular localization of CAIV, CAIX and CAXIV in mouse EDL. We find that CAXIV and CAIX single ko EDL exhibit markedly but not maximally reduced lactate fluxes, whereas triple ko and double ko EDL show maximal or near-maximal inhibition of CA-dependent lactate flux. Interpretation of the flux measurements in the light of the immunocytochemical results leads to the following conclusions. CAXIV, which is homogeneously distributed across the surface membrane of EDL fibers, facilitates lactic acid transport across this membrane. CAIX, which is associated only with T tubular membranes, facilitates lactic acid transport across the T tubule membrane. The removal of lactic acid from the lumen of T tubuli towards the interstitial space involves a CO2-HCO3- diffusional shuttle that is maintained cooperatively by CAIX within the T tubule and, besides CAXIV, by the CAIV, which is strategically located at the opening of the T tubules. The data suggest that about half the CA-dependent muscular lactate flux occurs across the surface membrane, while the other half occurs across the membranes of the T tubuli.

Abstract
Background Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are key enzymes for physiological pH regulation, including the process of urine acidification. Previous studies have identified seven cytosolic or membrane-bound CA isozymes in the kidney. Recently, we showed by in situ hybridization that the mRNA for the most novel CA isozyme, CA XV, is present in the renal cortex. CA XV is a unique isozyme among mammalian CAs, because it has become a pseudogene in primates even though expressed in several other species. Methodology/Principal Findings In the present study, we raised a polyclonal antibody against recombinant mouse CA XV that was produced in a baculovirus/insect cell expression system, and the antibody was used for immunohistochemical analysis in different mouse tissues. Positive immunoreactions were found only in the kidney, where the enzyme showed a very limited distribution pattern. Parallel immunostaining experiments with several other anti-CA sera indicated that CA XV is mainly expressed in the thick ascending limb of Henle and collecting ducts, and the reactions were most prominent in the cortex and outer medulla. Conclusion/Significance Although other studies have proposed a role for CA XV in cell proliferation, its tightly limited distribution may point to a specialized function in the regulation of acid-base homeostasis.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in the brain extracellular space is attributable mainly to isoforms CA4 and CA14. In brain, these enzymes have been studied mostly in the context of buffering activity-dependent extracellular pH transients. Yet evidence from others has suggested that CA4 acts in a complex with anion exchangers (AEs) to facilitate Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchange in cotransfected cells. To investigate whether CA4 or CA14 plays such a role in hippocampal neurons, we studied NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization of the cytosol, which is mitigated by Cl(-) entry and HCO(3)(-) exit. The NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization was enhanced when the extracellular CAs were inhibited by the poorly permeant CA blocker, benzolamide, or by inhibitory antibodies specific for either CA4 or CA14. The NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization was also increased with inhibition of anion exchange by 4,4*-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2*-disulfonic acid, or by eliminating Cl(-) from the medium. No effect of benzolamide was seen under these conditions, in which no Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchange was possible. Quantitative PCR on RNA from the neuronal cultures indicated that AE3 was the predominant AE isoform. Single-cell PCR also showed that Slc4a3 (AE3) transcripts were abundant in isolated neurons. In hippocampal neurons dissociated from AE3-null mice, the NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization was much larger than that seen in neurons from wild-type mice, suggesting little or no Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchange in the absence of AE3. Benzolamide had no effect on the NH(4)(+)-induced alkalinization in the AE3 knock-out neurons. Our results indicate that CA4 and CA14 both play important roles in the regulation of intracellular pH in hippocampal neurons, by facilitating AE3-mediated Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchange.

Abstract
The subcellular localization of carbonic anhydrase (CA) IV and CA IX in mouse skeletal muscle fibers has been studied immunohistochemically by confocal laser scanning microscopy. CA IV has been found to be located on the plasma membrane as well as on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane. CA IX is not localized in the plasma membrane but in the region of the t-tubular (TT)/terminal SR membrane. CA IV contributes 20% and CA IX 60% to the total CA activity of SR membrane vesicles isolated from mouse skeletal muscles. Our aim was to examine whether SR CA IV and TT/SR CA IX affect muscle contraction. Isolated fiber bundles of fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus and slow-twitch soleus muscle from mouse were investigated for isometric twitch and tetanic contractions and by a fatigue test. The muscle functions of CA IV knockout (KO) fibers and of CA IX KO fibers do not differ from the function of wild-type (WT) fibers. Muscle function of CA IV/XIV double KO mice unexpectedly shows a decrease in rise and relaxation time and in force of single twitches. In contrast, the CA inhibitor dorzolamide, whether applied to WT or to double KO muscle fibers, leads to a significant increase in rise time and force of twitches. It is concluded that the function of mouse skeletal muscle fibers expressing three membrane-associated CAs, IV, IX, and XIV, is not affected by the lack of one isoform but is possibly affected by the lack of all three CAs, as indicated by the inhibition studies.

Abstract
Apical bumetanide-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) co-transporter, termed NKCC2, is the major salt transport pathway in kidney thick ascending limb. NKCC2 surface expression is subject to regulation by intracellular protein trafficking. However, the protein partners involved in the intracellular trafficking of NKCC2 remain unknown. Moreover, studies aimed at under-standing the post-translational regulation of NKCC2 have been hampered by the difficulty to express NKCC2 protein in mammalian cells. Here we were able to express NKCC2 protein in renal epithelial cells by tagging its N-terminal domain. To gain insights into the regulation of NKCC2 trafficking, we screened for interaction partners of NKCC2 with the yeast two-hybrid system, using the C-terminal tail of NKCC2 as bait. Aldolase B was identified as a dominant and novel interacting protein. Real time PCR on renal microdissected tubules demonstrated the expression of aldolase B in the thick ascending limb. Co-immunoprecipitation and co-immunolocalization experiments confirmed NKCC2-aldolase interaction in renal cells. Biotinylation assays showed that aldolase co-expression reduces NKCC2 surface expression. In the presence of aldolase substrate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, aldolase binding was disrupted, and aldolase co-expression had no further effect on the cell surface level of NKCC2. Finally, functional studies demonstrated that aldolase-induced down-regulation of NKCC2 at the plasma membrane was associated with a decrease in its transport activity. In summary, we identified aldolase B as a novel NKCC2 binding partner that plays a key role in the modulation of NKCC2 surface expression, thereby revealing a new regulatory mechanism governing the co-transporter intracellular trafficking. Furthermore, NKCC2 protein expression in mammalian cells and its regulation by protein-protein interactions, described here, may open new and important avenues in studying the cell biology and post-transcriptional regulation of the co-transporter.

Abstract
An activation study of the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes VII and XIV using a small library of natural/non-natural amino acids and aromatic/heterocyclic amines is reported. hCA VII was efficiently activated by L-/D-His, dopamine and serotonin (K(A)s of 0.71-0.93 microM). The best hCA XIV activators were histamine (K(A) of 10 nM), L-Phe, L-/D-His and 4-amino-L-Phe (K(A)s of 0.24-2.90 microM). In view of the significant expression levels of CA VII and CA XIV in the brain, selective activation of these isoforms may be useful when developing pharmacologic agents for the management of major disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
The expression of carbonic anhydrase (CA) XIV was investigated in mouse skeletal muscles. Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and sarcolemmal (SL) membrane fractions were isolated from wild-type (WT) and CA XIV knockout (KO) mice. The CA XIV protein of 54 kDa was present in SR and SL membrane fractions as shown by Western blot analysis. CA activity measurements of WT and KO membrane fractions showed that CA XIV accounts for approximately 50% and 66% of the total CA activities determined in the SR and SL fractions, respectively. This indicates the presence of at least one other membrane-associated CA isoform in these membranes, e.g., CA IV, CA IX, or CA XII. Muscle fibers of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle were immunostained with anti-CA XIV/FITC and anti-sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase 1/TRITC, with anti-CA XIV/FITC and anti-ryanodine receptor/TRITC, or with anti-CA XIV/FITC and anti-monocarboxylate transporter-4/TRITC. CA XIV was expressed in the plasma membrane and in the longitudinal SR but not in the terminal SR. Isometric contraction measurements of single twitches and tetani and a fatigue protocol applied to fiber bundles of the fast-twitch EDL and of the slow-twitch soleus muscle from WT and KO mice showed that the lack of SR membrane-associated CA XIV did not affect maximum force, rise and relaxation times, and fatigue behavior. Thus, it is concluded that a reduction of the total SR CA activity by approximately 50% in CA XIV KO mice does not lead to an impairment of SR function.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are multinucleated bone-resorbing cells that use multiple pH regulation mechanisms to create an acidic pH in the resorption lacuna. Carbonic anhydrase II and vacuolar H(+)-ATPases produce and transport protons, while chloride channels provide a Cl(-) flux into the resorption site. These activities are required for inorganic matrix dissolution that precedes enzymatic removal of organic bone matrix. In other cell types it has become evident that carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes interact with AE proteins to form transport metabolons that regulate intracellular pH. Membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes may also compensate for the lack of cytoplasmic carbonic anhydrase II. Therefore, our goal was to explore the expression of membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoenzymes CA IV, CA IX, CA XII and CA XIV in bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy showed expression of CA IV, CA XII and CA XIV in cultured rat and human osteoclasts. To confirm these results, RT-PCR was used. Immunohistochemistry revealed distinct staining patterns for CA IV, CA XII and CA XIV in rat trabecular bone specimens. A plasma membrane staining was observed in bone lining cells with the CA XII antibody while osteoclast plasma membranes were stained with CA IV and CA XIV antibodies. Confocal microscopy of cultured human osteoclasts showed a punctated intracellular CA IV staining and a perinuclear CA XIV staining while no CA IX or CA XII staining was observed. To evaluate the physiological role of membrane-bound CAs in osteoclasts, we used PCS, a novel membrane-impermeable CA inhibitor. Increased osteoclast number and bone resorption activity was observed in rat osteoclast cultures exposed to a low concentration of PCS while higher concentrations affected cell survival. PCS treatment also disturbed intracellular acidification in osteoclasts, as determined by live cell microscopy. In conclusion, our data shows that membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes CA IV and CA XIV are expressed both at mRNA and protein levels in osteoclasts in vivo and in vitro. In addition, the inhibitor experiments provide novel evidence to support the hypothesis that intracellular pH regulation in osteoclasts may indeed involve transport metabolons.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) IV facilitates HCO(3) reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule by catalyzing the reversible hydration of CO(2). CAIV is tethered to cell membranes via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipid anchor. As there is basolateral as well as apical CAIV staining in proximal tubule, the molecular identity of basolateral CAIV was examined. Biotinylation of confluent monolayers of rat inner medullary collecting duct cells stably transfected with rabbit CAIV showed apical and basolateral CAIV, and in the cell transfectants expressing high levels of CAIV, a transmembrane form was targeted to the basolateral membrane. Basolateral expression of CAIV ( approximately 46 kDa) was confirmed in normal kidney tissue by Western blotting of vesicle fractions enriched for basolateral membranes by Percoll density fractionation. We examined the mode of membrane linkage of basolaterally expressed CAIV in the kidney cortex. CAIV detected in basolateral or apical membrane vesicles exhibited similar molecular size by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis following deglycosylation, and was equally sensitive to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C digestion, indicating that CAIV is expressed on the basolateral membrane as a GPI-anchored protein. Half of the hydratase activity of basolateral vesicles was resistant to SDS denaturation, compatible with being CAIV. Thus, GPI-anchored CAIV resides in the basolateral membrane of proximal tubule epithelia where it may facilitate HCO(3) reabsorption via association with kNBC1.

Abstract
A library of glycoconjugate benzenesulfonamides that contain diverse carbohydrate-triazole tails were investigated for their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of the three human transmembrane carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes hCA IX, hCA XII and hCA XIV. These isozymes have their CA domains located extracellularly, unlike the physiologically dominant hCA II, and are of immense current interest as druggable targets. Elevated expression of isozymes IX and XII is a marker for a broad spectrum of hypoxic tumors-this physiology may facilitate a novel approach to discriminate between healthy cells and cancerous cells. Many of these glycoconjugates were potent inhibitors (low nM), but importantly exhibited different isozyme selectivity profiles. The most potent hCA IX inhibitor was the glucuronic acid derivative 20 (K(i)=23nM). This compound was uniquely hCA IX selective cf. all other isozymes (16.4-, 16.8- and 4.6-fold selective against hCA II, XII, and XIV, respectively). At hCA XII there were many inhibitors with K(i)s<10nM that also demonstrated excellent selectivity (up to 344-fold) against other isozymes. Potent hCA XIV inhibitors were also identified, several with K(i)s approximately 10nM, however no hCA XIV-selective derivatives were evidenced from this library. The sugar tails of this study have shown promise as a valuable approach to both solubilize the aromatic sulfonamide CA recognition pharmacophore and to deliver potent inhibition and isozyme differentiation of the transmembrane CAs.

Abstract
Expression of membrane-bound carbonic anhydrases (CAs) of CA IV, CA IX, CA XII, and CA XIV has been investigated in the mouse heart. Western blots using microsomal membranes of wild-type hearts demonstrate a 39-, 43-, and 54-kDa band representing CA IV, CA IX, and CA XIV, respectively, but CA XII could not be detected. Expression of CA IX in the CA IV/CA XIV knockout animals was further confirmed using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Cardiac cells were immunostained using anti-CA/FITC and anti-alpha-actinin/TRITC, as well as anti-CA/FITC and anti-SERCA2/TRITC. Subcellular CA localization was investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy. CA localization in the sarcolemmal (SL) membrane was examined by double immunostaining using anti-CA/FITC and anti-MCT-1/TRITC. CAs showed a distinct distribution pattern in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane. CA XIV is predominantly localized in the longitudinal SR, whereas CA IX is mainly expressed in the terminal SR/t-tubular region. CA IV is present in both SR regions, whereas CA XII is not found in the SR. In the SL membrane, only CA IV and CA XIV are present. We conclude that CA IV and CA XIV are associated with the SR as well as with the SL membrane, CA IX is located in the terminal SR/t-tubular region, and CA XII is not present in the mouse heart. Therefore, the unique subcellular localization of CA IX and CA XIV in cardiac myocytes suggests different functions of both enzymes in excitation-contraction coupling.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the reversible hydration of CO(2). CA is expressed in most segments of the kidney. CAII and CAIV predominate in human and rabbit kidneys; in rodent kidneys, CAXII, and CAXIV are also present. CAIX is expressed by renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Most of these isoforms, except for rodent CAIV, have high turnover rates. CAII is a cytoplasmic enzyme, whereas the others are membrane-associated; CAIV is anchored by glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage. Membrane polarity is apical for CAXIV, basolateral for CAXII, and apical and basolateral for CAIV. Luminal membrane CAs facilitate the dehydration of carbonic acid (H(2)CO(3)) that is formed when secreted protons combine with filtered bicarbonate. Basolateral CA enhances the efflux of bicarbonate via dehydration of H(2)CO(3). CAII and CAIV can associate with bicarbonate transporters (e.g., AE1, kNBC1, NBC3, and SCL26A6), and proton antiporter, NHE1 in a membrane protein complex called a transport metabolon. CAXII and CAXIV may also be associated with transporters in normal kidney and CAIX in RCCs. The multiplicity of CAs implicates their importance in acid-base and other solute transport along the nephron. For example, CAII on the cytoplasmic face and CAIV on the extracellular surface provide the 'push' and 'pull' for bicarbonate transport by supplying and dissipating substrate respectively.

Abstract
Acid/base transporters play a key role in establishing an acidic luminal environment for sperm maturation and storage in the male reproductive tract. Impairment of the acidification capacity of the epididymis, via either genetic mutations or exposure to environmental factors, may have profound consequences on male fertility.

Abstract
Using real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry, we have examined the expression of carbonic anhydrase isozymes (CA) I, II, III, IV, IX, XII, XIII and XIV in the brain, kidney, stomach and colon of the wild-type, CA II-deficient (Car2-/-), and CA IX deficient (Car9-/-) mice. The expression of Car4, Car12, Car13 and Car14 mRNAs did not show any significant deviations between the three groups of mice, whereas both groups of CA deficient mice showed decreased expression levels of Car1 in the colon and Car3 in the kidney. The Car2 mRNA level was greatly reduced but not completely abolished in all four tissues from the Car2-/- mice in which no CA II protein was expressed. Sequencing the Car2 cDNA isolated from C57BL6 Car2-/- mice revealed two nucleotide differences from the wild-type C57BL6 mice. One is a silent polymorphism found in Car2 mRNA from wild-type DBA mice, which is the strain that provided the original mutagenized chromosome. The second change is a mutation that causes prematurely terminated translation at codon 155 (Gln155X). Car9 mRNA and CA IX protein expression levels were up-regulated about 2.5- and 3.6-fold, respectively, in the stomach of the Car2-/- mice. These results suggest that the loss of function of cytosolic CA II in the stomach of Car2-/- mice leads to up-regulation of an extracellular CA, namely CA IX, which is expressed on the cell surface of the gastric epithelium.

Abstract
The duodenum serves as a buffer zone between the stomach and jejunum. Over a length of only 25 cm, large volumes of strong acid secreted by the stomach must be converted to the neutral-alkaline chyme of the hindgut lumen, generating large volumes of CO2, which the duodenum then absorbs. The duodenal mucosa consists of epithelial cells connected by low-resistance tight junctions, forming a leaky epithelial barrier. Despite this high permeability, the epithelial cells, under intense stress from luminal mineral acid and highly elevated P(CO2), maintain normal functioning. Furthermore, the duodenum plays an active role in foregut acid-base homeostasis, absorbing large amounts of H+ and CO2 that are recycled by the gastric parietal cells. Prompted by the high expression of cytosolic and membrane carbonic anhydrase (CAs) in duodenal epithelial cells, and the intriguing observation that CA activity appears to augment cellular acid stress, we formulated a novel hypothesis regarding the role of CA in duodenal acid absorption, epithelial protection, and chemosensing. In this review, we will describe how luminal CO2/H+ traverses the duodenal epithelial cell brush border membrane, acidifies the cytoplasm, and is sensed in the subepithelium.

Abstract
The presence of carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in the neural retina has been known for several decades. CA-II, a soluble cytoplasmic isoform expressed by Müller cells and a subset of amacrine cells, was thought to be the sole source of CA activity in the neural retina. However, CA-II deficient mice retain CA activity in the neural retina, which implies that another isoform must be present in that tissue. Recently CA-XIV, an integral membrane protein, was cloned and characterized. We, therefore, sought to determine whether CA-XIV is expressed in the neural retina, and hence is responsible for the CA activity observed in CA-II null animals. Immunohistochemical analyses of histological sections from CA-II null, CA-XIV null, and control mice were performed to localize the CA-XIV isoform, as well as other known retinal markers. Immunoblotting and real-time RT-PCR analyses were also performed to test for CA-XIV expression in retina and other mouse tissues. We determined herein that CA-XIV, a approximately 45kDa membrane protein, is expressed in retina, as it is in kidney. In the retina, CA-XIV is expressed on the plasma membrane of Müller cells. CA-XIV is also found on both the apical and basal membranes of the retinal pigmented epithelium. The data presented here indicate that like CA-II, CA-XIV is highly expressed in the neural retina and, like CA-II, more specifically by the Müller cells. The cellular compartmentalization of the two isoforms in the Müller cell-one cytoplasmic and the other on the plasma membrane-suggest that the two enzymes have specific and unique functions. Future studies will be necessary to assign functions to CA-II and CA-XIV in the mouse neural retina.

Abstract
The first inhibition study of the transmembrane carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes hCA XIV with a library of aromatic and heteroaromatic sulfonamides synthesized earlier is reported. Most of the inhibitors were sulfanilamide, homosulfanilamide and 4-aminoethyl-benzenesulfonamide derivatives, to which tails that would induce diverse physicochemical properties have been attached at the amino moiety. Several of these compounds were metanilamide, benzene-1,3-disulfonamide or the 1,3,4-thiadiazole/thiadiazoline-2-sulfonamide derivatives. The tails incorporated in these molecules were of the alkyl/aryl-carboxamido/ sulfonamido-, ureido- or thioureido-types. The sulfanilamides acylated at the 4-amino group with short aliphatic/aromatic moieties incorporating 2-6 carbon atoms showed modest hCA XIV inhibitory activity (K(I)-s in the range of 1.25-4.2 microM) which were anyhow better than that of sulfanilamide (K(I) of 5.4 microM). Better activity showed the homosulfanilamide and 4-aminoethyl-benzenesulfonamide derivatives bearing arylsulfonamido/ureido and thioureido moieties, with K(I)'s in the range of 203-935 nM. The best activity was observed for the heteroaromatic compounds incorporating 1,3,4-thiadiazole/thiadiazoline-2-sulfonamide and 5-arylcarboxamido/sulfonamido moieties, with K(I)'s in the range of 10-85 nM. All these compounds were generally also much better inhibitors of the other two transmembrane CA isozyme, hCA IX and XII. Thus, highly potent hCA XIV inhibitors were detected, but isozyme-specific inhibitors were not discovered for the moment.

Abstract
The inhibition of the last human carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozyme (hCA XIV) discovered has been investigated with a series of sulfonamides, including some clinically used derivatives (acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, benzolamide, and zonisamide), as well as the sulfamate antiepileptic drug topiramate. The full-length hCA XIV is an enzyme showing a medium-low catalytic activity, quite similar to that of hCA XII, with the following kinetic parameters at 20 degrees C and pH 7.5, for the CO2 hydration reaction: k(cat) = 3.12 x 10(5) s(-1) and k(cat)/K(M) = 3.9 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1). All types of activities have been detected for the investigated compounds, with several micromolar inhibitors, including zonisamide, topiramate, and simple sulfanilamide derivatives (K(I)-s in the range of 1.46-6.50 microM). In addition, topiramate and zonisamide were observed to behave as weak hCA XII inhibitors, while zonisamide was an effective hCA IX inhibitor (K(I) of 5.1 nM). Some benzene-1,3-disulfonamide derivatives or simple five-membered heteroaromatic sulfonamides showed K(I)-s in the range of 180-680 nM against hCA XIV, whereas the most effective of such inhibitors, including 3-chloro-/bromo-sulfanilamide, benzolamide-like, ethoxzolamide-like, and acetazolamide/methazolamide-like derivatives, showed inhibition constant in the range of 13-48 nM. The best hCA XIV inhibitor was aminobenzolamide (K(I) of 13 nM), but no CA XIV-selective derivatives were evidenced. There are important differences of affinity of these sulfonamides/sulfamates for the three transmembrane CA isozymes, with CA XII showing the highest affinity, followed by CA IX, whereas CA XIV usually showed the lowest affinity for these inhibitors.

Abstract
We employed RT-PCR followed by light microscope immunocytochemistry on St. Marie's- and Bouin's-fixed tissues to define the distribution of carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms in the male reproductive tract. The data revealed that CA II, III, IV, XII, and XIV were expressed in rat epididymis. Whereas CA III was found in principal cells of all epididymal regions, CA II was localized in narrow cells of the initial segment and principal cells of all regions. CA XII expression was most intense in the corpus and proximal cauda regions, where it appeared over the basolateral plasma membranes of principal cells. Narrow cells of the initial segment also revealed intense reactions, as did basal cells of the corpus and proximal cauda regions. Principal cells of the initial segment and proximal caput regions showed diffuse apical cytosolic reactions and occasional basolateral staining for CA XIV, whereas principal cells of distal regions showed more diffuse cytosolic reactions highlighting both apical and basal regions of the cell, with basal cells also being reactive. These data suggest subtle differences in cell type and subcellular- and region-specific distributions for CAs in their role of fine-tuning pH in the lumen, cell cytosol, and intervening intercellular spaces of the epididymis.

Abstract
Protein molecular adaptation to drastically shifting salinities was studied in dCA II, an alpha-type carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1) from the exceptionally salt-tolerant unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina. The salt-inducible, extracellular dCA II is highly salt-tolerant and thus differs from its mesophilic homologs. The crystal structure of dCA II, determined at 1.86-A resolution, is globally similar to other alpha-type carbonic anhydrases except for two extended alpha-helices and an added Na-binding loop. Its unusual electrostatic properties include a uniformly negative surface electrostatic potential of lower magnitude than that observed in the highly acidic halophilic proteins and an exceptionally low positive potential at a site adjoining the catalytic Zn(2+) compared with mesophilic homologs. The halotolerant dCA II also differs from typical halophilic proteins in retaining conformational stability and solubility in low to high salt concentrations. The crucial role of electrostatic features in dCA II halotolerance is strongly supported by the ability to predict the unanticipated halotolerance of the murine CA XIV isozyme, which was confirmed biochemically. A proposal for the functional significance of the halotolerance of CA XIV in the kidney is presented.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) catalyse the hydration of CO2 to bicarbonate at physiological pH. This chemical interconversion is crucial since HCO3- is the substrate for several biosynthetic reactions. This review is focused on the distribution and role of CA isoenzymes in both normal and pathological gastrointestinal (GI) tract tissues. It has been known for many years that CAs are widely present in the GI tract and play important roles in several physiological functions such as production of saliva, gastric acid, bile, and pancreatic juice as well as in absorption of salt and water in intestine. New information suggests that these enzymes participate in several processes that were not envisioned earlier. Especially, the recent reports on plasma membrane-bound isoenzymes IX and XII have raised considerable interest since they were reported to participate in cancer invasion and spread. They are induced by tumour hypoxia and may also play a role in von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)-mediated carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) XIV is the most recently identified mammalian carbonic anhydrase isozyme, and its presence has been demonstrated in a number of tissues. Full-length CA XIV is a transmembrane protein composed of an extracellular catalytic domain, a single transmembrane helix, and a short intracellular polypeptide segment. The amino acid sequence identity of human CA XIV relative to the other membrane-associated isozymes (CA IV, CA IX, and CA XII) is 34-46%. We report here the expression and purification of both the full-length enzyme and a truncated, secretory form of murine CA XIV. Both forms of this isozyme are highly active, and both show an abrogation of activity in the presence of 0.2% SDS, in contrast to the behavior of murine CA IV. We also report the crystal structure of the extracellular domain of murine CA XIV at 2.8 A resolution and of an enzyme-acetazolamide complex at 2.9 A resolution. The structure shows a monomeric glycoprotein with a topology similar to that of other mammalian CA isozymes. Based on the x-ray crystallographic results, we compare and contrast known structures of membrane-associated CA isozymes to rationalize the structural elements responsible for the SDS resistance of CA IV and to discuss prospects for the design of selective inhibitors of membrane-associated CA isozymes.

Abstract
Active transepithelial sulfate secretion rate by winter flounder renal proximal tubule epithelium in primary culture (fPTC) is dependent on intracellular carbonic anhydrase (CA) and enhanced by cortisol. To further evaluate this relationship, a partial cDNA clone (327 bp) of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) with high sequence similarity to CAII from numerous species including fish, chicken, and human was obtained from fPTCs. The majority of CA activity and CAII protein was present in the cytosol of fPTCs; however, significant amounts of both (in addition to SDS-resistant CA activity, i.e., CAIV-like isoform) were present in concentrated plasma membranes. CAII from concentrated membranes migrated differently than purified CAII on nondenaturing PAGE gels, suggesting that CAII associates with another membrane component. Treatment of fPTCs with the cell-soluble CA inhibitor methazolamide (100 microM) caused a 58% reduction in active transepithelial SO4(2-) secretion. fPTCs that were previously cultured under high-cortisol concentrations, when subjected to 5 days of low physiological levels of cortisol, had decreased CA activity (28%), CAII protein abundance (65%), and net active SO4(2-) secretion (28%), with no effect on epithelial differentiation. Methazolamide and low-cortisol treatment in combination inhibited net active SO4(2-) secretion 56%, which was not different than the effect of methazolamide treatment alone. These data indicate that cortisol directly increases renal CA activity, CAII protein abundance, and CA-dependent SO4(2-) secretion in the marine teleost renal proximal tubule.
