Properties and function of brain carbonic anhydrase.

V S Sapirstein, P Strocchi, J M Gilbert

    Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Soluble and membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase (CA) in the central nervous system are synthesized separately. Membrane-bound CA targets specific cellular sites for efficient proton and bicarbonate utilization.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Carbonic anhydrase (CA) exists in soluble and membrane-bound forms within the central nervous system.
    • Understanding the biogenesis and cellular localization of these CA forms is crucial for comprehending their physiological roles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the molecular properties and biogenesis pathways of soluble and membrane-bound CA in the CNS.
    • To investigate the mechanisms underlying the differential synthesis and targeting of CA isoforms.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of molecular characteristics of soluble and membrane-bound CA.
    • Investigation of polysomal populations involved in CA synthesis.
    • Preliminary studies on mRNA partitioning and nascent chain interactions with the RER.

    Main Results:

    • Soluble and membrane-bound CA share similar molecular characteristics.
    • Evidence suggests distinct polysomal populations are responsible for synthesizing the two CA forms.
    • Membrane-bound CA synthesis initiates on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).
    • Preliminary data indicate nascent chain interactions with RER receptors mediate mRNA partitioning.

    Conclusions:

    • CA biogenesis involves distinct synthetic pathways for soluble and membrane-bound forms.
    • Membrane-associated synthesis likely targets CA to specific cellular locations for rapid utilization of its products.
    • CA may play a role in metabolic control, potentially accelerating fatty acid synthesis in oligodendrocytes.
