The truncated hemoglobins in the Antarctic psychrophilic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125.
The genome sequence of the Antarctic Gram-negative marine eubacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125 is a potential source of useful data on proteins from a cold-adapted microorganism. Identifying the bases of protein adaptation to higher or lower temperatures is important to understand the relationship between structure/function and life history on the Earth. The P. haloplanktis TAC125 ...
متن کاملActivity, stability and structural studies of lactate dehydrogenases adapted to extreme thermal environments.
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate with concomitant oxidation of NADH during the last step in anaerobic glycolysis. In the present study, we present a comparative biochemical and structural analysis of various LDHs adapted to function over a large temperature range. The enzymes were from Champsocephalus gunnari (an Antarctic fish), Deinococcus radioduran...
متن کاملComputational study on ice growth inhibition of Antarctic bacterium antifreeze protein using coarse grained simulation.
Antarctic bacterium antifreeze proteins (AFPs) protect and support the survival of cold-adapted organisms by binding and inhibiting the growth of ice crystals. The mechanism of the anti-freezing process in a water environment at low temperature of Antarctic bacterium AFPs remains unclear. In this research, we study the effects of Antarctic bacterium AFPs by coarse grained simulations solution a...
متن کاملThe linker region plays a key role in the adaptation to cold of the cellulase from an Antarctic bacterium.
The psychrophilic cellulase, Cel5G, from the Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis is composed of a catalytic module (CM) joined to a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) by an unusually long, extended and flexible linker region (LR) containing three loops closed by three disulfide bridges. To evaluate the possible role of this region in cold adaptation, the LR was sequentially shorte...
متن کاملNovel Cold-Adapted Esterase MHlip from an Antarctic Soil Metagenome
An Antarctic soil metagenomic library was screened for lipolytic enzymes and allowed for the isolation of a new cytosolic esterase from the a/b hydrolase family 6, named MHlip. This enzyme is related to hypothetical genes coding esterases, aryl-esterases and peroxydases, among others. MHlip was produced, purified and its activity was determined. The substrate profile of MHlip reveals a high spe...
