Legionella pneumophila Carbonic Anhydrases: Underexplored Antibacterial Drug Targets
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are metalloenzymes which catalyze the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and protons. Many pathogenic bacteria encode such enzymes belonging to the α-, β-, and/or γ-CA families. In the last decade, enzymes from some of these pathogens, including Legionella pneumophila, have been cloned and characterized in detail. These enzymes were shown to be effi...
متن کاملBacterial Carbonic Anhydrases as Drug Targets: Toward Novel Antibiotics?
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are metalloenzymes which catalyze the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and protons. Many pathogenic bacteria encode such enzymes belonging to the α-, β-, and/or γ-CA families. In the last decade, the α-CAs from Neisseria spp. and Helicobacter pylori as well as the β-class enzymes from Escherichia coli, H. pylori,Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Brucell...
متن کاملThe alpha and beta classes carbonic anhydrases from Helicobacter pylori as novel drug targets.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) successfully resides in the human stomach in highly acidic conditions, causing a variety of gastroduodenal lesions, including gastric ulcer, gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma. For acid acclimation of H. pylori, two types of enzymes, urease and carbonic anhydrase (CA), play a central role. They cooperatively function to maintain neutral pH in the bacterial cytoplas...
متن کاملHuman Carbonic Anhydrases
Sequence studies of human erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase B show that it contains 256 residues. A series of relatively small peptides soluble in aqueous solutions obtained by chymotryptic and tryptic digestion of the enzyme, large peptides containing only COOH-terminal lysine or arginine as well as those resulting from more limited cleavage of the enzyme, and cyanogen bromide cleavage products s...
متن کاملAntibacterial activities of plant essential oils against Legionella pneumophila.
The objective of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of essential oils (EOs) extracted from Cinnamomum osmophloeum leaves and different tissues of Cryptomeria japonica against pathogenic Legionella pneumophila at 42 degrees C. Ten kinds of EOs were extracted by water distillation and their chemical constituents were quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). ...
