Abstract
An activation study of the membrane-associated carbonic anhydrase (CA,
EC 4.2.1.1) isoform XV with a series of natural and non-natural amino
acids and aromatic/heterocyclic amines is reported. Murine CA XV was
strongly activated by some amino acids (d-Phe, l-/d-DOPA, d-Trp, l-Tyr) and amines (dopamine, serotonin, l-adrenaline and 4-(2-aminoethyl)-morpholine) with activation constants in the range of 4.0–9.5 μM. l-/d-His, l-Phe, histamine and several other heterocyclic amines showed less efficient activation (KAs in the range of 11.6–33.4 μM).
The activation profile of CA XV is quite different from that of the
cytosolic isoforms CA I and II or the membrane-associated CA IV. All
mammalian isoforms CA I–XV are thus characterized for their interaction
with this set of amino acid and amine activators, some of which are
biogenic amines or neurotransmitters present in sufficiently high
amounts in various tissues for exerting significant biologic responses.
