Partial-filling affinity capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract

Partial-filling affinity capillary electrophoresis (PFACE) is used to examine the binding interactions between two model biological systems: D-Ala-D-Ala terminus peptides to the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin (Van) from Streptomyces orientalis, and arylsulfonamides to carbonic anhydrase B (CAB, EC 4.2.1.1, bovine erythrocytes). Using these two systems, modifications in the PFACE technique are demonstrated including flow-through PFACE (FTPFACE), competitive flow-through PFACE (CFTPFACE), on-column ligand synthesis PFACE (OCLSPFACE), and multiple-step ligand injection PFACE (MSLIPFACE). In PFACE small plugs of sample are injected into the capillary column and an equilibrium is established between receptor and ligand during electrophoresis. Binding constants are then obtained by Scatchard analysis using changes in the migration time of the receptor/ligand on changing the concentration of the ligand/receptor. Data demonstrating the quantitative potential of these methods are presented. This review focuses on the unique capabilities of the different PFACE techniques as applied to two model biological systems.

Ultrahigh resolution crystal structures of human carbonic anhydrases I and II complexed with "two-prong" inhibitors reveal the molecular basis of high affinity.

The atomic-resolution crystal structures of human carbonic anhydrases I and II complexed with "two-prong" inhibitors are reported. Each inhibitor contains a benzenesulfonamide prong and a cupric iminodiacetate (IDA-Cu(2+)) prong separated by linkers of different lengths and compositions. The ionized NH(-) group of each benzenesulfonamide coordinates to the active site Zn(2+) ion; the IDA-Cu(2+) prong of the tightest-binding inhibitor, BR30, binds to H64 of CAII and H200 of CAI. This work provides the first evidence verifying the structural basis of nanomolar affinity measured for two-prong inhibitors targeting the carbonic anhydrases.

Examination of two independent kinetic assays for determining the inhibition of carbonic anhydrases I and II: structure-activity comparison of sulfamates and sulfamides.

Enzyme inhibition assays often require deviations from physiological conditions. For carbonic anhydrases, procedures involving native CO(2) and non-native substrates have been used. We compared a native and a non-native substrate in the context of inhibition of human carbonic anhydrases I and II by examining various sulfamate and sulfamide compounds in two kinetic assays: hydration of CO(2) and hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenylacetate. For carbonic anhydrase II, the two assays consistently generated similar K(i) values, with the relative difference between the assays never exceeding 2.5-fold. However, for carbonic anhydrase I there was more variability between the two assays, with K(i) values for three compounds differing by more than 2.5-fold, up to eightfold. In the CO(2) hydration assay, some sulfamates and sulfamides exhibited mixed kinetics or partial inhibition. Our results indicate that K(i) or K(d) values from carbonic anhydrase assays involving non-native substrates should be confirmed by assays that use CO(2) (or HCO), to establish pharmacological relevance. From structure-activity comparisons, the sulfamate is more effective than the sulfamide in inhibiting carbonic anhydrase I and II, but the sulfamate does not confer selectivity. In contrast, the sulfonamide confers selectivity for carbonic anhydrase I (10- to 30-fold). Selectivity for carbonic anhydrase II occurred with the substituted fructose moiety, especially the d-enantiomer (>100-fold).

Multiple-injection affinity capillary electrophoresis to estimate binding constants of receptors to ligands.

Multiple-injection affinity capillary electrophoresis (MIACE) is used to determine binding constants (Kb) between receptors and ligands using as model systems vancomycin and teicoplanin from Streptomyces orientalis and Actinoplanes teichomyceticus, respectively, and their binding to D-Ala-D-Ala peptides and carbonic anhydrase B (CAB. EC 4.2.1.1) and the binding of the latter to arylsulfonamides. A sample plug containing a non-interacting standard is first injected followed by multiple plugs of sample containing the receptor and then a final injection of sample containing a second standard. Between each injection of sample, a small plug of buffer is injected which contains an increasing concentration of ligand to effect separation between the multiple injections of sample. Electrophoresis is then carried out in an increasing concentration of ligand in the running buffer. Continued electrophoresis results in a shift in the migration time of the receptor in the sample plugs upon binding to their respective ligand. Analysis of the change in the relative migration time ratio (RMTR) or electrophoretic mobility (mu) of the resultant receptor-ligand complex relative to the non-interacting standards, as a function of the concentration of ligand yields a value for Kb. The MIACE technique is a modification in the ACE method that allows for the estimation of binding affinities between biological interactions on a timescale faster than that found for standard ACE. In addition sample volume requirements for the technique are reduced compared to traditional ACE assays. These findings demonstrate the advantage of using MIACE to estimate binding parameters between receptors and ligands.
