“…Here, we report the first activation study of CaNce103 and Can2 with a series of amines and amino acids (of types 1-18), investigated earlier [10][11][12][13][14] for their interaction with mammalian a-CAs as well as very recently 15 with the b-and c-class enzymes from the Archaea domain and the common yeast. Such a study may help a better understanding of the b-CA catalytic/activation mechanism (the natural proton shuttling residue in this class of enzymes has not been yet identified), as well as the design of CAAs targeting b-CAs from these or other pathogenic fungi.…”

“…8 These are the only data available in the literature regarding the activation of b-and c-CAs, even though these enzymes are widespread in the phylogenetic tree. 9,10 The recent characterization of CAs in fungi [11][12][13][14] led us to initiate a systematic search of modulators of these enzymes activity, that is, inhibitors and activators, which might show therapeutic potential. 15,16 Cryptococcus neoformans contains two b-CAs, Can1 and Can2, which share homology to the S. cerevisiae gene NCE103.…”

“…CAs occur in all three domains of life (Eubacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota), and play roles in diverse metabolic pathways. The CA superfamily is subdivided into five families: α-CA, β-CA, γ-CA, δ-CA and ζ-CA [23,24]. Interestingly, large-scale phylogenetic analyses reveal no homology between these five families [25], and they are therefore thought to be the result of convergent evolution, i.e.…”

“…γ-CAs have been reported in plants, archaea, and some bacteria. 38,39 The last two CA classes: δ-and ζ-CAs are structurally similar to the β-CAs.…”
