Lessons in stability from thermophilic proteins.
Studies that compare proteins from thermophilic and mesophilic organisms can provide insights into ability of thermophiles to function at their high habitat temperatures and may provide clues that enable us to better define the forces that stabilize all proteins. Most of the comparative studies have focused on thermal stability and show, as expected, that thermophilic proteins have higher Tm va...

متن کاملAromatic clusters: a determinant of thermal stability of thermophilic proteins.
A number of factors have been elucidated as responsible for the thermal stability of thermophilic proteins. However, the contribution of aromatic interactions to thermal stability has not been systematically studied. In the present investigation we used a graph spectral method to identify aromatic clusters in a dataset of 24 protein families for which the crystal structures of both the thermoph...
متن کاملLessons from proteins from extremophiles
There are many ways to select mutations that increase the stability of proteins, including rational design, functional screening of randomly generated mutant libraries, and comparison of naturally occurring homologous proteins. The protein engineer’s toolbox is expanding and the number of successful examples of engineered protein stability is increasing. Still, the selection of thermostable mut...
متن کاملIncreasing the thermal stability of cellulase C using rules learned from thermophilic proteins: a pilot study.
Some structural features underlying the increased thermostability of enzymes from thermophilic organisms relative to their homologues from mesophiles are known from earlier studies. We used cellulase C from Clostridium thermocellum to test whether thermostability can be increased by mutations designed using rules learned from thermophilic proteins. Cellulase C has a TIM barrel fold with an addi...
