The green unicellular algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii contains 12&ndash:13 carbonic anhydrases (CAs). For a long time, the two closely related &alpha:-CAs of the periplasmic membrane CAH1 and CAH2 were considered to be the CAs with the highest CO2 hydration activity. The recombinant protein &alpha:-CA CAH3 (rCAH3) from the thylakoid lumen obtained in the present study showed more than three times higher activity compared to CAH1 and more than 11 times higher compared to previous studies with rCAH3. Long-term sustainability of the enzyme was observed at alkaline pH (>:8), with maintenance of half of its activity at 4 °:C for up to 50 days. Thermostability of rCAH3 indicated the retention of the activity at 20 °:C for one hour at pH 9&ndash:10 with its ~50% decrease at pH 6&ndash:7. However, the residual activity of rCAH3 after incubation at an extremely high temperature (75 °:C) for 15 min led to the formation of the double-hump graph with maxima at pH 6 and 9. The enzyme demonstrated high sensitivity to ethoxyzolamide and acetazolamide at nM concentrations, to Zn2+ and Cu2+ cations at 1 mM concentrations, and L-cysteine was able to completely inhibit CA activity of rCAH3 through reduction of sulfhydryl groups. Esterase activity of rCAH3 was well detected with values comparable to those of bovine CAII, but with a maximum at pH 8 instead of pH 9, which is usual for bovine CAII. The results indicated that CAH3 may be the most active CA of C. reinhardtii and that its role in the photosynthetic apparatus function could have been underestimated in previous works.
