چکیده

RG13 is an engineered allosteric beta-lactamase (BLA) for which maltose is a positive effector. RG13 is a hybrid protein between TEM1 BLA and maltose-binding protein (MBP). Maltose binding to MBP is known to convert the open form of the protein to the closed form through conformational changes about the hinge region. We have constructed and genetically selected several variants of RG13 modified in the hinge region of the MBP domain and explored their effect on beta-lactam hydrolysis, maltose affinity and maltose-induced switching. Hinge mutations that increased maltose affinity the most (and thus presumably close the apo-MBP domain the most) also abrogated switching the most. We provide evidence for a model of RG13 switching in which there exists a threshold conformation between the open to closed form of the MBP domain that divides states that catalyze beta-lactam hydrolysis with different relative rates of acylation and deacylation.

Ligand binding and allostery can emerge simultaneously.

A heterotropic allosteric effect involves an effector molecule that is distinct from the substrate or ligand of the protein. How heterotropic allostery originates is an unanswered question. We have previously created several heterotropic allosteric enzymes by recombining the genes for TEM1 beta-lactamase (BLA) and maltose binding protein (MBP) to create BLAs that are positively or negatively re...

NMR characterization of an engineered domain fusion between maltose binding protein and TEM1 beta-lactamase provides insight into its structure and allosteric mechanism.

RG13 is a 72 kDa engineered allosteric enzyme comprised of a fusion between maltose binding protein (MBP) and TEM1 beta-lactamase (BLA) for which maltose is a positive effector of BLA activity. We have used NMR spectroscopy to acquire [(15)N, (1)H]-TROSY-HSQC spectra of RG13 in the presence and absence of maltose. The RG13 chemical shift data was compared to the published chemical shift data of...

Non-allosteric enzyme switches possess larger effector-induced changes in thermodynamic stability than their non-switch analogs.

The ability to regulate cellular protein activity offers a broad range of biotechnological and biomedical applications. Such protein regulation can be achieved by modulating the specific protein activity or through processes that regulate the amount of protein in the cell. We have previously demonstrated that the nonhomologous recombination of the genes encoding maltose binding protein (MBP) an...

A molecular switch created by in vitro recombination of nonhomologous genes.

We have created a molecular switch by the in vitro recombination of nonhomologous genes and subjecting the recombined genes to evolutionary pressure. The gene encoding TEM1 beta-lactamase was circularly permuted in a random fashion and subsequently randomly inserted into the gene encoding Escherichia coli maltose binding protein. From this library, a switch (RG13) was identified in which its be...

An engineered calmodulin-based allosteric switch for Peptide biosensing.

This work describes the development of a new platform for allosteric protein engineering that takes advantage of the ability of calmodulin to change conformation upon binding to peptide and protein ligands. The switch we have developed consists of a fusion protein in which calmodulin is genetically inserted into the sequence of TEM1 β-lactamase. In this approach, calmodulin acts as the input do...
