Crystallization (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
DeltaCa2-Pro-S324A (Ca2+-binding site Ca 2 is removed) is crystallized using sitting-drop vapor-diffusion method at 4°C. DeltaCa3-Pro-S324A (Ca2+-binding site Ca3 is removed) is crystallized using hanging-drop method at 20°C. The structures of DeltaCa2-Pro-S324A (Ca2+-binding site Ca 2 is removed) and DeltaCa3-Pro-S324A (Ca2+-binding site Ca3 is removed) are identical to that of Pro-S324A, except that they lack the Ca2 and Ca3 sites, respectively, and the structure of the Ca2+-binding loop is destabilized. These proteins are slightly more stable than Pro-S324A. These results suggest that the Ca2+-binding loop is required for folding of Tk-subtilisin but does not seriously contribute to the stabilization of Tk-subtilisin in a native structure. The counting of amino acids refers to the enzyme protein without the signal peptide (amino acid 1-24) and the propeptide (amino acid 25-106) | Thermococcus kodakarensis |

additional information | to analyze the role of the Ca2+-binding loop, three mutant proteins, Deltaloop-Tk-subtilisin (Ca2+-binding loop is removed), DeltaCa2-Pro-S324A (Ca2+-binding site Ca2 is removed), and DeltaCa3-Pro-S324A (Ca2+-binding site Ca3 is removed), are constructed. The structures of DeltaCa2-Pro-S324A (Ca2+-binding site Ca 2 is removed) and DeltaCa3-Pro-S324A (Ca2+-binding site Ca3 is removed) are identical to that of Pro-S324A, except that they lack the Ca2 and Ca3 sites, respectively, and the structure of the Ca2+-binding loop is destabilized. These proteins are slightly more stable than Pro-S324A | Thermococcus kodakarensis |

Ca2+ | the enzyme requires Ca2+ for folding and assumes a molten globule-like structure in the absence of Ca2+ even in the presence of Tk-propeptide. Tk-subtilisin contains seven Ca2+-binding sites. Four of them are located within a long loop, which mostly consists of a unique insertion sequence of this protein | Thermococcus kodakarensis |
