Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2. 1.1) are ubiquitous metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and a proton (Fig. 15.1 a). 1 They contribute to a wide variety of important physiological functions such as electrolyte secretion or carbohydrate anabolism. 2 CAs are found in all domains of life, with many organisms harboring several CA isoforms. 3 The CA family is divided into five evolutionarily independent classes. 1 The a-class comprises enzymes from bacteria, algae, plant cytosols, and vertebrates. In humans, 15 a-CA isoforms (I–XV) contribute to cellular functions, such as respiration and pH regulation. 2, 4 b-CAs are predominantly found in bacteria, fungi, algae, and plant chloroplasts, and g-CAs are mainly found in archaea and in some bacteria. d-CAs and the recently describedz-CAs are only known in marine diatoms so far. 1, 5Although the different CA families are unrelated in overall structure (Fig. 15.1 b), the catalytic centers of CAs generally contain a tetrahedrally coordinated Zn (II)(Fig. 15.1 a), with the exception of thed-CA CDCA1, which contains a Cd (II) ion instead, 5 andg-CAs, which have also been found with Fe (II) as active site ion. 6The catalytic ion is coordinated by three conserved residues: Three histidines ina-andg-class CAs, and two cysteines and one histidine in the b-class (Fig. 15.1 a). 1 The fourth Zn (II) ligand binding site is occupied by a water molecule. In the catalytic cycle, the water molecule is activated through proton abstraction and formation of a metal hydroxide used for
