Different packing of external residues can explain differences in the thermostability of proteins from thermophilic and mesophilic organisms
MOTIVATION Understanding the basis of protein stability in thermophilic organisms raises a general question: what structural properties of proteins are responsible for the higher thermostability of proteins from thermophilic organisms compared to proteins from mesophilic organisms? RESULTS A unique database of 373 structurally well-aligned protein pairs from thermophilic and mesophilic organi...
متن کاملPhysical bases of thermal stability of proteins: A comparative study on homologous pairs from mesophilic and thermophilic organisms
We used classical molecular dynamics simulation method to investigate physical factors responsible for the increased thermal stability of proteins from thermophilic and hyperthermophilic organisms. Subject of investigation were two pairs of homologous proteins from the functional classes of: 1) cold shock proteins from Escherichia coli (mesophilic) and Bacillus caldolyticus (thermophilic) and 2...
متن کاملFlexibility and Mobility in Mesophilic and Thermophilic homologous proteins from Molecular Dynamics and Foldunfold Method
To function properly protein molecules require both flexibility and rigidity, therefore fast and accurate prediction of protein rigidity/flexibility is one of the important problems in protein science. In this work we used two theoretical approaches to determine flexible regions in four homologous pairs of proteins from thermophilic and mesophilic organisms. Protein pairs chosen in this study w...
متن کاملComparison of family 9 cellulases from mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria.
Cellulases containing a family 9 catalytic domain and a family 3c cellulose binding module (CBM3c) are important components of bacterial cellulolytic systems. We measured the temperature dependence of the activities of three homologs: Clostridium cellulolyticum Cel9G, Thermobifida fusca Cel9A, and C. thermocellum Cel9I. To directly compare their catalytic activities, we constructed six new vers...
متن کاملCharacterization and stability of ribosomes from mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria.
Ribosomes were isolated from three mesophilic and three thermophilic strains of Bacillus. The ribosomes consisted of about 55% protein and 45% ribonucleic acid. Average ratios for the absorbance at 260/235 and 260/280 mmu were 1.77 and 1.92 for the mesophiles and 1.63 and 1.84 for the thermophiles. Ultracentrifugation revealed mainly components with sedimentation coefficients of about 30, 50, 7...
