Heavy metals play vital roles in enzyme activities and other metabolic events with their bioaccumulative and nonbiodegradable properties among aquatic pollutants. Metal toxicity causes irregular metallothioneins protein synthesis, renal damage, and disruption of bone structure in humans and wildlife. In this study, we investigated in vitro effects of some metals on chemical-targeted carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme from rainbow trout kidney. The enzyme was purified with a specific activity of 17,285 EU × mg-1 and 31.7% yield and approximately 1800-fold using simple affinity purification method. Molecular weights of the subunit and native enzyme were estimated as 28.7 kDa and 26.9 kDa via sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Sephadex-G 200 column, respectively. Other kinetic properties of the enzyme were determined. Apparent Km, Vmax and kcat values were 0.40 mM, 0.097 ?mol min-1 and 15.2 s-1 for p-nitrophenylacetate substrate, respectively. Inhibitory effects of cobalt, zinc, copper, cadmium and silver on CA activity were determined using the esterase method under in vitro conditions. IC50 and Ki values were calculated for metals. Ki values for Co2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Cd2+ and Ag+ were 0.035, 1.2, 34.8, 103 and 257 from Lineweaver-Burk graphs, respectively. Consequently, in vitro inhibition rank order was determined as Co2+ > Zn2+ > Cu 2+ > Cd2+ > Ag+. The potential inhibitor for CA was found as Co2+ from these results. © 2011 The Author(s).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCarbonic anhydraseinhibitionkidneymetal toxicityrainbow trout4 nitrophenylacetic acidcadmiumcarbonate dehydratasecobaltcopperesteraseheavy metalmetallothioneinphenylacetic acidsephadexsilverunclassified drugzincarticlebinding affinitybone structurecontrolled studyenzyme activityenzyme assayenzyme kineticsenzyme purificationIC 50kidneykidney injurymetal toxicitymolecular weightnonhumanpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresisprotein purificationprotein synthesisrainbow troutAnimalsCarbonic Anhydrase InhibitorsCarbonic AnhydrasesHydrogen-Ion ConcentrationInhibitory Concentration 50KidneyKineticsLinear ModelsMetals, HeavyOncorhynchus mykissOncorhynchus mykissCarbonic anhydraseinhibitionkidneymetal toxicityrainbow trout4 nitrophenylacetic acidcadmiumcarbonate dehydratasecobaltcopperesteraseheavy metalmetallothioneinphenylacetic acidsephadexsilverunclassified drugzincarticlebinding affinitybone structurecontrolled studyenzyme activityenzyme assayenzyme kineticsenzyme purificationIC 50kidneykidney injurymetal toxicitymolecular weightnonhumanpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresisprotein purificationprotein synthesisrainbow troutAnimalsCarbonic Anhydrase InhibitorsCarbonic AnhydrasesHydrogen-Ion ConcentrationInhibitory Concentration 50KidneyKineticsLinear ModelsMetals, HeavyOncorhynchus mykissOncorhynchus mykissArticle28429630510.1177/0748233711410914219490882-s2.0-84861833727Q3WOS:000302628600002Q3
