Abstract
Leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH, EC 1.4.1.9) can reversibly catalyze the oxidative deamination of l-leucine and some other specific α-amino acids to form the corresponding α-ketoacids. This reaction has great significance in the field of food additives and the pharmaceutical industry. The LeuDH from Exiguobacterium sibiricum (EsLeuDH) has high catalytic efficiency but limited thermal stability, hindering its widespread industrial application. In this study, a mutant N5F/I12L/A352Y of EsLeuDH (referred to as M2) was developed with enhanced thermal stability and catalytic activity through rational modification. The M2 mutant exhibits a half-life at 60 °C (t1/2(60 °C)) of 975.7 min and a specific activity of 69.6 U mg-1, which is 5.4 and 2.1 times higher than those of EsLeuDH, respectively. This research may facilitate the utilization of EsLeuDH at elevated temperatures, enhancing its potential for industrial applications. The findings offer a practical and efficient approach for optimizing LeuDH and other industrial enzymes.

Abstract
Adenylate kinases (AKs) have evolved AMP-binding and lid domains that are encoded as continuous polypeptides embedded at different locations within the discontinuous polypeptide encoding the core domain. A prior study showed that AK homologues of different stabilities consistently retain cellular activity following circular permutation that splits a region with high energetic frustration within the AMP-binding domain into discontinuous fragments. Herein, we show that mesophilic and thermophilic AKs having this topological restructuring retain activity and substrate-binding characteristics of the parental AK. While permutation decreased the activity of both AK homologues at physiological temperatures, the catalytic activity of the thermophilic AK increased upon permutation when assayed >30 °C below the melting temperature of the native AK. The thermostabilities of the permuted AKs were uniformly lower than those of native AKs, and they exhibited multiphasic unfolding transitions, unlike the native AKs, which presented cooperative thermal unfolding. In addition, proteolytic digestion revealed that permutation destabilized each AK in differing manners, and mass spectrometry suggested that the new termini within the AMP-binding domain were responsible for the increased proteolysis sensitivity. These findings illustrate how changes in contact order can be used to tune enzyme activity and alter folding dynamics in multidomain enzymes.

A diminished hydrophobic effect inside the GroEL/ES cavity contributes to protein substrate destabilization. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2213170119.

Abstract
Confining compartments are ubiquitous in biology, but there have been few experimental studies on the thermodynamics of protein folding in such environments. Recently, we reported that the stability of a model protein substrate in the GroEL/ES chaperonin cage is reduced dramatically by more than 5 kcal mol-1 compared to that in bulk solution, but the origin of this effect remained unclear. Here, we show that this destabilization is caused, at least in part, by a diminished hydrophobic effect in the GroEL/ES cavity. This reduced hydrophobic effect is probably caused by water ordering due to the small number of hydration shells between the cavity and protein substrate surfaces. Hence, encapsulated protein substrates can undergo a process similar to cold denaturation in which unfolding is promoted by ordered water molecules. Our findings are likely to be relevant to encapsulated substrates in chaperonin systems, in general, and are consistent with the iterative annealing mechanism of action proposed for GroEL/ES.

CCA-addition in the cold: Structural characterization of the psychrophilic CCA-adding enzyme from the permafrost bacterium Planococcus halocryophilus. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2021; 19:5845-5855.

Abstract
A high-resolution structure of a psychrophilic RNA polymerase contributes to our knowledge of cold adaptation. While catalytic core motifs are conserved, at least one shows cold adaptation. Loss of helix-capping increases structural flexibility in a catalytic core motif. Overall reduction of alpha-helical elements appears as a strategy for cold adaptation.
CCA-adding enzymes are highly specific RNA polymerases that add and maintain the sequence C-C-A at tRNA 3‘-ends. Recently, we could reveal that cold adaptation of such a polymerase is not only achieved at the expense of enzyme stability, but also at the cost of polymerization fidelity. Enzymes from psychrophilic organisms usually show an increased structural flexibility to enable catalysis at low temperatures. Here, polymerases face a dilemma, as there is a discrepancy between the need for a tightly controlled flexibility during polymerization and an increased flexibility as strategy for cold adaptation. Based on structural and biochemical analyses, we contribute to clarify the cold adaptation strategy of the psychrophilic CCA-adding enzyme from Planococcus halocryophilus, a gram-positive bacterium thriving in the arctic permafrost at low temperatures down to −15 °C. A comparison with the closely related enzyme from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus reveals several features of cold adaptation - a significantly reduced amount of alpha-helical elements in the C-terminal tRNA-binding region and a structural adaptation in one of the highly conserved catalytic core motifs located in the N-terminal catalytic core of the enzyme.

Open Issues for Protein Function Assignment in Haloferax volcanii and Other Halophilic Archaea. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12070963. [PMID: 34202810 PMCID: PMC8305020 DOI: 10.3390/genes12070963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Annotation ambiguities and annotation errors are a general challenge in genomics. While a reliable protein function assignment can be obtained by experimental characterization, this is expensive and time-consuming, and the number of such Gold Standard Proteins (GSP) with experimental support remains very low compared to proteins annotated by sequence homology, usually through automated pipelines. Even a GSP may give a misleading assignment when used as a reference: the homolog may be close enough to support isofunctionality, but the substrate of the GSP is absent from the species being annotated. In such cases, the enzymes cannot be isofunctional. Here, we examined a variety of such issues in halophilic archaea (class Halobacteria), with a strong focus on the model haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii. Results: Annotated proteins of Hfx. volcanii were identified for which public databases tend to assign a function that is probably incorrect. In some cases, an alternative, probably correct, function can be predicted or inferred from the available evidence, but this has not been adopted by public databases because experimental validation is lacking. In other cases, a probably invalid specific function is predicted by homology, and while there is evidence that this assigned function is unlikely, the true function remains elusive. We listed 50 of those cases, each with detailed background information, so that a conclusion about the most likely biological function can be drawn. For reasons of brevity and comprehension, only the key aspects are listed in the main text, with detailed information being provided in a corresponding section of the Supplementary Materials. Conclusions: Compiling, describing and summarizing these open annotation issues and functional predictions will benefit the scientific community in the general effort to improve the evaluation of protein function assignments and more thoroughly detail them. By highlighting the gaps and likely annotation errors currently in the databases, we hope this study will provide a framework for experimentalists to systematically confirm (or disprove) our function predictions or to uncover yet more unexpected functions.

Abstract
Thermostable enzymes have many advantages for industrial applications. Therefore, in this study, computer-aided design technology was used to improve the thermostability of a highly active endo-polygalacturonase from Talaromyces leycettanus JCM12802 at an optimal temperature of 70 °C. The melting temperature and specific activity of the obtained mutant T316C/G344C were increased by 10 °C and 36.5%, respectively, compared with the wild-type enzyme. The crystal structure of the T316C/G344C mutant showed no formation of a disulfide bond between the introduced cysteines, indicating a different mechanism than the conventional mechanism underlying improved enzyme thermostability. The cysteine substitutions directly formed a new alkyl hydrophobic interaction and caused conformational changes in the side chains of the adjacent residues Asn315 and Thr343, which in turn caused a local reconstruction of hydrogen bonds. This method greatly improved the thermostability of the enzyme without affecting its activity; thus, our findings are of great significance for both theoretical research and practical applications.

Abstract
Transaminases that promote the amination of ketones into amines are an emerging class of biocatalysts for preparing a series of drugs and their intermediates. One of the main limitations of (R)-selective amine transaminase from Aspergillus terreus (At-ATA) is its weak thermostability, with a half-life (t 1/2) of only 6.9 min at 40°C. To improve its thermostability, four important residue sites (E133, D224, E253, and E262) located on the surface of At-ATA were identified using the enzyme thermal stability system (ETSS). Subsequently, 13 mutants (E133A, E133H, E133K, E133R, E133Q, D224A, D224H, D224K, D224R, E253A, E253H, E253K, and E262A) were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis according to the principle of turning the residues into opposite charged ones. Among them, three substitutions, E133Q, D224K, and E253A, displayed higher thermal stability than the wild-type enzyme. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated that these three mutations limited the random vibration amplitude in the two α-helix regions of 130-135 and 148-158, thereby increasing the rigidity of the protein. Compared to the wild-type, the best mutant, D224K, showed improved thermostability with a 4.23-fold increase in t 1/2 at 40°C, and 6.08°C increase in T 50 10 . Exploring the three-dimensional structure of D224K at the atomic level, three strong hydrogen bonds were added to form a special "claw structure" of the α-helix 8, and the residues located at 151-156 also stabilized the α-helix 9 by interacting with each other alternately.

Abstract
The mechanisms that underly the adaptation of enzyme activities and stabilities to temperature are fundamental to our understanding of molecular evolution and how enzymes work. Here, we investigate the molecular and evolutionary mechanisms of enzyme temperature adaption, combining deep mechanistic studies with comprehensive sequence analyses of thousands of enzymes. We show that temperature adaptation in ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) arises primarily from one residue change with limited, local epistasis, and we establish the underlying physical mechanisms. This residue change occurs in diverse KSI backgrounds, suggesting parallel adaptation to temperature. We identify residues associated with organismal growth temperature across 1005 diverse bacterial enzyme families, suggesting widespread parallel adaptation to temperature. We assess the residue properties, molecular interactions, and interaction networks that appear to underly temperature adaptation.

Abstract
The concurrence of microorganisms in niches that are hostile like extremes of temperature, pH, salt concentration and high pressure depends upon novel molecular mechanisms to enhance the stability of their proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and cell membranes. The structural, physiological and genomic features of extremophiles that make them capable of withstanding extremely selective environmental conditions are particularly fascinating. Highly stable enzymes exhibiting several industrial and biotechnological properties are being isolated and purified from these extremophiles. Successful gene cloning of the purified extremozymes in the mesophilic hosts has already been done. Various extremozymes such as amylase, lipase, xylanase, cellulase and protease from thermophiles, halothermophiles and psychrophiles are of industrial interests due to their enhanced stability at forbidding conditions. In this review, we made an attempt to point out the unique features of extremophiles, particularly thermophiles and psychrophiles, at the structural, genomic and proteomic levels, which allow for functionality at harsh conditions focusing on the temperature tolerance by them.

A Novel Alkaline Phosphatase/Phosphodiesterase, CamPhoD, from Marine Bacterium Cobetia amphilecti KMM 296. Mar Drugs 2019; 17:md17120657.

Abstract
A novel extracellular alkaline phosphatase/phosphodiesterase from the structural protein family PhoD that encoded by the genome sequence of the marine bacterium Cobetia amphilecti KMM 296 (CamPhoD) has been expressed in Escherichia coli cells. The calculated molecular weight, the number of amino acids, and the isoelectric point (pI) of the mature protein’s subunit are equal to 54832.98 Da, 492, and 5.08, respectively. The salt-tolerant, bimetal-dependent enzyme CamPhoD has a molecular weight of approximately 110 kDa in its native state. CamPhoD is activated by Co2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, or Fe3+ at a concentration of 2 mM and exhibits maximum activity in the presence of both Co2+ and Fe3+ ions in the incubation medium at pH 9.2. The exogenous ions, such as Zn2+, Cu2+, and Mn2+, as well as chelating agents EDTA and EGTA, do not have an appreciable effect on the CamPhoD activity. The temperature optimum for the CamPhoD activity is 45 °C. The enzyme catalyzes the cleavage of phosphate mono- and diester bonds in nucleotides, releasing inorganic phosphorus from p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) and guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP), as determined by the Chen method, with rate approximately 150- and 250-fold higher than those of bis-pNPP and 5′-pNP-TMP, respectively. The Michaelis–Menten constant (Km), Vmax, and efficiency (kcat/Km) of CamPhoD were 4.2 mM, 0.203 mM/min, and 7988.6 S−1/mM; and 6.71 mM, 0.023 mM/min, and 1133.0 S−1/mM for pNPP and bis-pNPP as the chromogenic substrates, respectively. Among the 3D structures currently available, in this study we found only the low identical structure of the Bacillus subtilis enzyme as a homologous template for modeling CamPhoD, with a new architecture of the phosphatase active site containing Fe3+ and two Ca2+ ions. It is evident that the marine bacterial phosphatase/phosphidiesterase CamPhoD is a new structural member of the PhoD family.
