General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
3.4.19.1 additional information the three-dimensional structure of the psychrophilic acyl aminoacyl peptidase from Sporosarcina psychrophila (SpAAP) highlights adaptive molecular changes resulting in a fine-tuned trade-off between flexibility and stability. A feature of SpAAP cold adaptation is the enlargement of the tunnel connecting the exterior of the protein with the active site. Such a wide channel might compensate for the reduced molecular motions occurring in the cold and allow easy and direct access of substrates to the catalytic site, rendering transient movements between domains unnecessary. Thus, cold-adapted SpAAP has developed a molecular strategy unique within this group of proteins: it is able to enhance the flexibility of each functional unit while still preserving sufficient stability. The Ser-Asp-His catalytic triad in SpAAP (Ser458, Asp540 and His572) matches that of the canonical alpha/beta hydrolase fold Sporosarcina psychrophila
