Exploring the molecular linkage of protein stability traits for enzyme optimization by iterative truncation and evolution.
The stability of proteins is paramount for their therapeutic and industrial use and, thus, is a major task for protein engineering. Several types of chemical and physical stabilities are desired, and discussion revolves around whether each stability trait needs to be addressed separately and how specific and compatible stabilizing mutations act. We demonstrate a stepwise perturbation-compensati...
متن کاملENCoM server: exploring protein conformational space and the effect of mutations on protein function and stability
ENCoM is a coarse-grained normal mode analysis method recently introduced that unlike previous such methods is unique in that it accounts for the nature of amino acids. The inclusion of this layer of information was shown to improve conformational space sampling and apply for the first time a coarse-grained normal mode analysis method to predict the effect of single point mutations on protein d...
متن کاملExploring the interplay of stability and function in protein evolution: new methods further elucidate why protein stability is necessarily so tenuous and stability-increasing mutations compromise biological function.
A new split beta-lactamase assay promises experimental testing of the interplay of protein stability and function. Proteins are sufficiently stable to act effectively within cells. However, mutations generally destabilize structure, with effects on free energy that are comparable to the free energy of folding. Assays of protein functionality and stability in vivo enable a quick study of factors...
متن کاملRegulation of TET protein stability by calpains.
DNA methylation at the fifth position of cytosine (5mC) is an important epigenetic modification that affects chromatin structure and gene expression. Recent studies have established a critical function of the Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) family of proteins in regulating DNA methylation dynamics. Three Tet genes have been identified in mammals, and they all encode for proteins capable of oxidi...
متن کاملnanoDSF Thermal Unfolding Analysis of Proteins Without Tryptophan Residues
The nanoDSF (minituarized differential scanning fluorimetry) technology is a powerful method to determine the thermal and chemical stability of proteins by following changes in fluorescence, where the amino acid tryptophan serves as the main source for the fluorescence signal. We analyzed the stability of the light-oxygenvoltage (LOV) protein of the marine phototrophic α-proteobacterium Dinoros...
