Synopsis
Human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII), a zinc(II)-dependent hydrolase, has been widely studied to understand ligand−protein binding such as hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions. This report expands the use of hCAII as a model system by examining how ligand binding is effected by mutations of residues within the zinc(II)-ion coordination sphere. In this way, we can begin to understand how metal-binding group selectivity and affinity is perturbed by the composition of the ligating active-site residues.
Abstract
An ever-increasing number of metalloproteins are being discovered that play essential roles in physiological processes. Inhibitors of these proteins have significant potential for the treatment of human disease, but clinical success of these compounds has been limited. Herein, zinc(II)-dependent metalloprotein inhibitors in clinical use are reviewed, and the potential for using novel metal-binding groups (MBGs) in the design of these inhibitors is discussed. By using human carbonic anhydrase II as a model system, the nuances of MBG–metal interactions in the context of a protein environment can be probed. Understanding how metal coordination influences inhibitor binding may help in the design of new therapeutics targeting metalloproteins.
