Temperature, organic solvent and pH stabilization of the neutral protease from Salinovibrio proteolyticus: significance of the structural calcium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to clarify the impact of Ca-binding sites (Ca1 and 2) on the conformational stability of neutral proteases (NPs), we have analyzed the thermal, pH and organic solvent stability of a NP variant, V189P/A195E/G203D/A268E (Q-mutant), from Salinovibrio proteolyticus. This mutant has shown to bind calcium more tightly than the wild-type (WT) at Ca1 and to possess Ca2. Q-mutant was resisted against autolysis, thermoinactivation and pH denaturation in a Ca-dependent manner and exhibited better activity in organic solvents compared to the WT enzyme. These results imply that Ca1 and Ca2 are important for the conformational stability of NPs.

Remarkable improvements of a neutral protease activity and stability share the same structural origins.
Stabilizing an enzyme while improving its activity may be difficult with respect to a general trade off relation between stability and function at the level of individual mutations. We have used site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the possibility of parallel improvements of thermostability and activity in the neutral protease from Salinovibrio proteolyticus. Four out of seven point mutatio...

متن کاملThe unique stability of Vibrio proteolyticus neutral protease under alkaline conditions affords a selective step for purification and use in amino acid-coupling reactions.
A procedure is described for the purification of a neutral protease from fermentation broths of Vibrio proteolyticus. The key feature of the purification scheme is the selective, irreversible inactivation of a contaminating exoenzyme, aminopeptidase, by alkali treatment, rather than removal of this enzyme by conventional chromatographic methods. Fermentation broths or concentrates were brought ...
