Abstract
We unveil the intimate relationship between protein dynamics and allostery by following the trajectories of model proteins in their conformational and sequence spaces. Starting from a nonallosteric hyperthermophilic malate dehydrogenase, we have tracked the role of protein dynamics in the evolution of the allosteric capacity. Based on a large phylogenetic analysis of the malate (MalDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) superfamily, we identified two amino acid positions that could have had a major role for the emergence of allostery in LDHs, which we targeted for investigation by site-directed mutagenesis. Wild-type MalDH and the single and double mutants were tested with respect to their substrate recognition profiles. The double mutant displayed a sigmoid-shaped profile typical of homotropic activation in LDH. By using molecular dynamics simulations, we showed that the mutations induce a drastic change in the protein sampling of its conformational landscape, making transiently T-like (inactive) conformers, typical of allosteric LDHs, accessible. Our data fit well with the seminal key concept linking protein dynamics and evolvability. We showed that the selection of a new phenotype can be achieved by a few key dynamics-enhancing mutations causing the enrichment of low-populated conformational substates.

Abstract
In this work, we combined biochemical and structural investigations with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to analyze the very different thermal-dependent allosteric behavior of two lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) from thermophilic bacteria. We found that the enzyme from Petrotoga mobilis (P. mob) necessitates an absolute requirement of the allosteric effector (fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate) to ensure functionality. In contrast, even without allosteric effector, the LDH from Thermus thermophilus (T. the) is functional when the temperature is raised. We report the crystal structure of P. mob LDH in the Apo state solved at 1.9 Å resolution. We used this structure and the one from T. the, obtained previously, as a starting point for MD simulations at various temperatures. We found clear differences between the thermal dynamics, which accounts for the behavior of the two enzymes. Our work demonstrates that, within an allosteric enzyme, some areas act as local gatekeepers of signal transmission, allowing the enzyme to populate either the T-inactive or the R-active states with different degrees of stringency.
