Structural differences between mesophilic, moderately thermophilic and extremely thermophilic protein subunits: results of a comprehensive survey.
BACKGROUND Proteins from thermophilic organisms usually show high intrinsic thermal stability but have structures that are very similar to their mesophilic homologues. From prevous studies it is difficult to draw general conclusions about the structural features underlying the increased thermal stability of thermophilic proteins. RESULTS In order to reveal the general evolutionary strategy fo...
متن کاملMini-Review Facing extremes: archaeal surface-layer (glyco)proteins
Archaea are best known in their capacities as extremophiles, i.e. micro-organisms able to thrive in some of the most drastic environments on Earth. The protein-based surface layer that envelopes many archaeal strains must thus correctly assemble and maintain its structural integrity in the face of the physical challenges associated with, for instance, life in high salinity, at elevated temperat...
متن کاملPreservation of Archaeal Surface Layer Structure During Mineralization
Proteinaceous surface layers (S-layers) are highly ordered, crystalline structures commonly found in prokaryotic cell envelopes that augment their structural stability and modify interactions with metals in the environment. While mineral formation associated with S-layers has previously been noted, the mechanisms were unconstrained. Using Sulfolobus acidocaldarius a hyperthermophilic archaeon n...
متن کاملThermal adaptation analyzed by comparison of protein sequences from mesophilic and extremely thermophilic Methanococcus species.
The genome sequence of the extremely thermophilic archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii provides a wealth of data on proteins from a thermophile. In this paper, sequences of 115 proteins from M. jannaschii are compared with their homologs from mesophilic Methanococcus species. Although the growth temperatures of the mesophiles are about 50 degrees C below that of M. jannaschii, their genomic G+C co...
