Steady-state and equilibrium kinetic properties of native bovine carbonic anhydrase III (carbonate hydrolyase, EC 4.2.1.1) and a derivative modified with methyl methanethiosulfonate were investigated. The modified enzyme has a markedly increased CO2 hydration activity compared to the native form with a 3-times higher value of kcat and a 6-10-times higher value of kcat/Km. Qualitatively, the activated enzyme shows the same kinetic behavior as native isoenzyme III. This is reflected in similar pH dependences of the kinetic parameters for CO2 hydration, similar solvent hydrogen isotope effects on these parameters, similar deviations from Michaelis-Menten kinetics for the HCO3- dehydration reaction, and similar behavior of the kinetics of CO2/HCO3- exchange at chemical equilibrium as measured by a 13C-NMR magnetization transfer technique. It is concluded that the conversion of -SH groups to -S-S-CH3 moieties does not change the catalytic mechanism, but leads to an increased rate of CO2/HCO3- interconversion as well as to an increased rate of proton transfer between the active site and the reaction medium.
