Stabilizing mutations and calcium-dependent stability of subtilisin.
Stability is a property of subtilisin which has proven particularly amenable to enhancement via random mutagenesis and screening, yet the effects of most stabilizing mutations are not understood in structural and energetic detail. This paper seeks to explain the longstanding observation that stabilizing mutations are usually calcium-dependent in their stabilizing effect, irrespective of their p...
متن کاملStructural basis of thermostability. Analysis of stabilizing mutations in subtilisin BPN'.
The crystal structures of two thermally stabilized subtilisin BPN' variants, S63 and S88, are reported here at 1.8 and 1.9 A resolution, respectively. The micromolar affinity calcium binding site (site A) has been deleted (Delta75-83) in these variants, enabling the activity and thermostability measurements in chelating conditions. Each of the variants includes mutations known previously to inc...
متن کاملEngineering the independent folding of the subtilisin BPN' pro-domain: correlation of pro-domain stability with the rate of subtilisin folding.
The 77-amino acid pro-domain greatly accelerates the in vitro folding of subtilisin in a bimolecular reaction whose product is a tight complex between folded subtilisin and folded pro-domain. In this complex the pro-domain has a compact structure with a four-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet and two three-turn alpha-helixes. When isolated from subtilisin, however, the pro-domain is 97% unfolded ...
متن کاملA single calcium binding site is crucial for the calcium-dependent thermal stability of thermolysin-like proteases.
Thermostable thermolysin-like proteases (TLPs), such as the TLP of Bacillus stearothermophilus CU-21 (TLP-ste), bind calcium in one double (Ca1,2) and two single (Ca3, Ca4) calcium binding sites. The single sites are absent in thermolabile TLPs, suggesting that they are determinants of (variation in) TLP stability. Mutations in the Ca3 and Ca4 sites of TLP-ste indeed reduced thermal stability, ...
متن کاملMutational analysis of a surface area that is critical for the thermal stability of thermolysin-like proteases.
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to assess the contribution of individual residues and a bound calcium in the 55-69 region of the thermolysin-like protease of Bacillus stearothermophilus (TLP-ste) to thermal stability. The importance of the 55-69 region was reflected by finding that almost all mutations had drastic effects on stability. These effects (both stabilizing and destabilizing) were ...
