Biochemical characterization of a psychrophilic and halotolerant α–carbonic anhydrase from a deep-sea bacterium, <i>Photobacterium profundum</i>

Somalinga, V., Foss, E., & Grunden, A. M. (2023, January 1). AIMS Microbiology, Vol. 9, pp. 540–553.

By: V. Somalinga*, E. Foss* & A. Grunden n 

author keywords: Photobacterium profundum; a-carbonic anhydrase; halotolerance; biomineralization; carbon capture
topics (OpenAlex): Enzyme function and inhibition; Enzyme Catalysis and Immobilization; Metalloenzymes and iron-sulfur proteins
TL;DR: The first biochemical characterization of P. profundum α–CA (PprCA) is reported which revealed several catalytic properties that are atypical for this class of CA's and it is demonstrated that PprCA accelerates CO2 biomineralization to calcium carbonate under alkaline conditions.

Ed(s): A. Hofmann

MeSH headings : Carbonic Anhydrases / chemistry; Chlorides / chemistry; Chromatography, Gel; Crystallography, X-Ray; Dimerization; Molecular Dynamics Simulation; Photobacterium / enzymology; Protein Conformation
topics (OpenAlex): Enzyme function and inhibition; Polyamine Metabolism and Applications; Synthesis and Catalytic Reactions
TL;DR: The first crystal structure of a pyschrohalophilic α-CA from a deep-sea bacterium, Photobacterium profundum, is reported and reveals a highly conserved “knot-topology” that is characteristic of α–CA’s. (via Semantic Scholar)
