Thermal stability was measured for variants of cytochrome c-551 (PA c-551) from a mesophile, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a thermophilic counterpart, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus cytochrome c-552 (HT c-552), by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at pH 3.6. The mutated residues in PA c-551, selected with reference to the corresponding residues in HT c-552, were located in three spatially separated regions: region I, Phe7 to Ala/Val13 to Met; region II, Glu34 to Tyr/Phe43 to Tyr; and region III, Val78 to Ile. The thermodynamic parameters determined indicated that the mutations in regions I and III caused enhanced stability through not only enthalpic but also entropic contributions, which reflected improved packing of the side chains. Meanwhile, the mutated region II made enthalpic contributions to the stability through electrostatic interactions. The obtained differences in the Gibbs free energy changes of unfolding [Delta(DeltaG)] showed that the three regions contributed to the overall stability in an additive manner. HT c-552 had the smallest heat capacity change (DeltaC(P)), resulting in higher DeltaG values over a wide temperature range (0-100 degrees C), compared to the PA c-551 variants; this contributed to the highest stability of HT c-552. Our DSC measurement results, in conjunction with mutagenesis and structural studies on the homologous mesophilic and thermophilic cytochromes c, provided an extended thermodynamic view of protein stabilization. 相似文献

Proton translocating ATPase (ATP synthase), a chemiosmotic enzyme, synthesizes ATP from ADP and phosphate coupling with the electrochemical ion gradient across the membrane. This enzyme has been studied extensively by combined genetic, biochemical and biophysical approaches. Such studies revealed a unique mechanism which transforms an electrochemical ion gradient into chemical energy through the rotation of a subunit assembly. Thus, this enzyme can be defined as a nano motor capable of coupling a chemical reaction and ion translocation, or more simply, as a protein complex carrying out rotational catalysis. In this article, we briefly discuss our recent work, emphasizing the rotation of subunit assembly (gammaepsilonc(10-12)) which is formed from peripheral and intrinsic membrane subunits. 相似文献

Mesophilic cytochrome c(551) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA c(551)) became as stable as its thermophilic counterpart, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus cytochrome c(552) (HT c(552)), through only five amino acid substitutions. The five residues, distributed in three spatially separated regions, were selected and mutated with reference to the corresponding residues in HT c(552) through careful structure comparison. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the stability of the quintuple mutant of PA c(551) could be partly attained through an enthalpic factor. The solution structure of the mutant showed that, as in HT c(552), there were tighter side chain packings in the mutated regions. Furthermore, the mutant had an increased total accessible surface area, resulting in great negative hydration free energy. Our results provide a novel example of protein stabilization in that limited amino acid substitutions can confer the overall stability of a natural highly thermophilic protein upon a mesophilic molecule. 相似文献

Thermophile Hydrogenobacter thermophilus cytochrome c(552) (HT) is a stable protein with denaturation temperatures (T(m)) of 109.8 and 129.7 degrees C for the oxidized and reduced forms, respectively [Uchiyama, S., Ohshima, A., Nakamura, S., Hasegawa, J., Terui, N., Takayama, S. J., Yamamoto, Y., Sambongi, Y., and Kobayashi, Y. (2004) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 126, 14684-14685]. The removal of a single hydroxyl group from the hydrophobic core of HT, through the replacement of a Tyr by Phe, resulted in further elevation of the T(m) value of the oxidized form by approximately 6 degrees C, the T(m) value of the reduced one remaining essentially unaltered. As a result, the redox potential of the mutant with higher stability in the oxidized form exhibited a negative shift of approximately 20 mV relative to that of wild-type HT in an enthalpic manner. These findings indicated that the redox function of a protein can be enthalpically regulated through the stability of the oxidized form by altering the contextual stereochemical packing of hydrophobic residues in the protein interior using protein engineering. 相似文献

Cytochrome c is widely distributed in bacterial species, from mesophiles to thermophiles, and is one of the best-characterized redox proteins in terms of biogenesis, folding, structure, function, and evolution. Experimental molecular biology techniques (gene cloning and expression) have become applicable to cytochrome c, enabling its engineering and manipulation. Heterologous expression systems for cytochromes c in bacteria, for use in mutagenesis studies, have been established by extensive investigation of the biological process by which the functional structure is formed. Mutagenesis and structure analyses based on comparative studies using a thermophile Hydrogenobacter thermophilus cytochrome c-552 and its mesophilic counterpart have provided substantial clues to the mechanism underlying protein stability at the amino-acid level. The molecular mechanisms underlying protein maturation, folding, and stability in bacterial cytochromes c are beginning to be understood. 相似文献

ATP synthase (F0F1) transforms an electrochemical proton gradient into chemical energy (ATP) through the rotation of a subunit assembly. It has been suggested that a complex of the gamma subunit and c ring (c(10-14)) of F0F1 could rotate together during ATP hydrolysis and synthesis (Sambongi, Y., Iko, Y., Tanabe, M., Omote, H., Iwamoto-Kihara, A., Ueda, I., Yanagida, T., Wada, Y., and Futai, M. (1999) Science 286, 1722-1724). We observed that the rotation of the c ring with the cI28T mutation (c subunit cIle-28 replaced by Thr) was less sensitive to venturicidin than that of the wild type, consistent with the antibiotic effect on the cI28T mutant and wild-type ATPase activities (Fillingame, R. H., Oldenburg, M., and Fraga, D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 20934-20939). Furthermore, we engineered F0F1 to see the alpha(3)beta(3) hexamer rotation; a biotin tag was introduced into the alpha or beta subunit, and a His tag was introduced into the c subunit. The engineered enzymes could be purified by metal affinity chromatography and density gradient centrifugation. They were immobilized on a glass surface through the c subunit, and an actin filament was connected to the alpha or beta subunit. The filament rotated upon the addition of ATP and generated essentially the same frictional torque as one connected to the c ring. These results indicate that the gammaepsilonc(10-14) complex is a mechanical unit of the enzyme and that it can be used as a rotor or a stator experimentally, depending on the subunit immobilized. 相似文献

Subunit gamma of the ATP synthase F(1) sector is located at the center of the alpha(3)beta(3) hexamer and rotates unidirectionally during ATP hydrolysis, generating the rotational torque of approximately 45 pN.nm. A mutant F(1) with the betaSer-174 to Phe substitution (betaS174F) in the beta subunit generated lower torque ( approximately 17 pN.nm), indicating that betaS174F is mechanically defective, the first such mutant reported. The defective rotation of betaS174F was suppressed by a second-site mutation, betaGly-149 to Ala, betaIle-163 to Ala, or betaIle-166 to Ala in the same subunit, but not by betaLeu-238 to Ala. These results suggest that the region between betaGly-149 and betaSer-174 plays an important role in the coupling between ATP hydrolysis and mechanical work. 相似文献

Cytochrome c? of pressure-sensitive Shewanella livingstonensis (SL cytc?) exhibits lower thermal stability than a highly homologous counterpart of pressure-tolerant Shewanella violacea. This stability difference is due to an enthalpic effect that can be attributed to the amino acid residue at position 50 (Leu or Lys). These cytc? proteins are appropriate materials for understanding the protein stability mechanism. 相似文献

The facultative piezophile Shewanella violacea DSS12 is known to alter its respiratory components under the influence of hydrostatic pressure during growth, suggesting that it has a respiratory system that functions in adaptation to high pressure. We investigated the pressure- and temperature-dependencies of the respiratory terminal oxidase activity of the membrane of S. violacea relative to non-piezophilic Shewanella species. We observed that the activity in the membrane of S. violacea was more resistant to high pressure than those of non-piezophilic Shewanella even though DSS12 was cultured under atmospheric pressure. On the other hand, the temperature dependency of this activity was almost the same for all of the tested strain regardless of optimal growth temperature. Both high pressure and low temperature are expected to lower protein flexibility, causing a decrease in enzyme activity, but the results of this study suggest that the mechanism maintaining enzyme activity under high hydrostatic pressure is different from that at low temperature. Additionally, the responses of the activity to the pressure- and temperature-changes were independent of membrane lipid composition. Therefore, the piezotolerance of the respiratory terminal oxidases of S. violacea is perhaps dependent on the properties of the protein itself and not on the lipid composition of the membrane. Our observations suggest that S. violacea constitutively express piezotolerant respiratory terminal oxidases that serve adaptation to the deep-sea environment. 相似文献
