Activation parameters for the carbonic anhydrase II-catalyzed hydration of CO2. 1986

A F Ghannam, and W Tsen, and R S Rowlett

We have determined the activation parameters of kcat and kcat/Km for the carbonic anhydrase II-catalyzed hydration of CO2. The enthalpy and entropy of activation for kcat is 7860 +/- 120 cal mol-1 and -3.99 +/- 0.42 cal mol-1 K-1, respectively, for the human enzyme. Results for the bovine enzyme were statistically indistinguishable from those of the human enzyme. The entropy of activation of kcat for the human enzyme was further decomposed into partially compensating electrostatic(es) (delta S*es = +15.1 cal mol-1 K-1) and nonelectrostatic(nes) (delta S*nes = -19.1 cal mol-1 K-1) terms. Computer simulations of a formal kinetic mechanism for carbonic anhydrase II-catalyzed CO2 hydration show that 82% of the temperature effect on kcat can be attributed to the temperature effect on the intramolecular proton transfer step. The reported activation parameters are consistent with a substantial enzyme or active site solvent conformational change in the transition state of the intramolecular proton transfer step, and is consistent with the mechanism of proton transfer proposed by Venkatasubban and Silverman (Venkatasubban, K. S., and Silverman, D. N. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 4984-4989).
