SazCA Carbonic Anhydrase
Biology and Usage
Biomineralisation is the process by which living organisms synthesise minerals (Dhami et al., 2013). One of the main metabolic pathways of microbial calcium carbonate production utilizes the zinc metallo-enzyme carbonic anhydrase as the catalyst of the reaction (Chaparro-Acuña et al., 2019). This pathway produces no pollutant byproduct, which is often the case with other biomineralisation pathways, and extracts CO2 from the atmosphere as a substrate for the reaction catalyzed by the carbonic anhydrase.
SazCA is a thermostable α-carbonic anhydrase derived from the thermophilic bacterium Sulfurihydrogenibium azorense and has been characterised as the fastest known carbonic anhydrase to date, possessing a kcat/KM value of approximately 3.5 × 108 M−1 s−1. SazCA facilitates the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and protons (see fig. 1) (De Simone et al., 2015; De Luca et al., 2013). This process creates alkaline conditions which increase the solubility of Ca2+ ions trapped on the extracellular matrix (EPS) of bacterial cells, which readily bond to HCO3-, facilitating the formation of calcium carbonate crystals (Anbu, et al. 2016).

The SazCA sequence was obtained from research by Zhu et al.(2022). This sequence has undergone codon optimization for E. coli and was employed in the BL21 DE3 chassis. A 6X-His tag is attached to SazCA, enabling detection using anti-His antibodies and purification through nickel immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC).
