Based on Ikegamis' statistical thermodynamic model of the structural fluctuations of proteins, Gibbs energy changes associated with the transfer of N-alkyl-amides to water were used to devise a model of protein stability. The results indicate that the amphiphilic nature of the polypeptide chain and the presence of water are fundamental to cold denaturation.

Based on the 2.3 Å crystal structure of the (Ser214-Asn365) substrate-binding domain at the α subunit from the T. acidophilum thermosome and molecular modeling of the hexadecameric complex from the tetradecameric GroEL structure, a structural model of the intact thermosome was presented; the model is consistent with cryoelectron microscopy data.

The determination of the structure of the complete hexadecameric thermosome from T. acidophilum at 2.6 Å resolution confirms its topological homology with the GroEL system, with a novel type of inter-ring contact. Parts of the apical domain form a lid, substituting for the absent GroES-like chaperonin 10. The central cavity has a polar surface that is involved in folding assistance. The active site geometry allows a mechanism for ATP hydrolysis to be proposed.

Nature 1998, 392:353-358. According to 16S rRNA analysis, A. aeolius is one of the earliest diverging bacteria known. With 1,551,335 base pairs, its genome is only one-third the size of the E. coli genome. It contains 93% protein coding regions, so that most of the genes are expected to be related to known open reading frames characterized elsewhere. In spite of its hyperthermophilic nature, only a few specific indications of thermophilicity are apparent from the genome.

Biochemistry 1997, 36:6009-6016. In contrast to most mesophilic PRAIs, hyperthermophilic TmPRAI is a homodimer (as a caveat, in E. coli, the standard mesophile, PRAI is part of a bifunctional enzyme). In spite of the increased overall rigidity of TmPRAI, its activity at 80°C is about 35-fold higher compared to its mesophilic counterpart at 37°C, this way successfully competing with the spontaneous hydrolysis of the substrate at physiological temperature. Stability increments come from multiple hydrophobic interactions and additional ion pairs. Their elimination by protein engineering leads to the fully active monomer exhibiting drastically reduced kinetic stability (R Thoma, K Kirschner, personal communication).

    • 51. Auerbach G, Huber R, Grättinger M, Zaiss K, Schurig H, Jaenicke R, Jacob U: Closed structure of PGK from Thermotoga maritima reveals the catalytic mechanism and determinants of thermal stability. Structure 1997, 5:1475-1483. This 2.0 Å crystal structure determination adds to a series of four known phosphoglycerate kinase structures from mesophiles and moderate thermophiles, allowing the structural determinants of thermostability to be analyzed. In addition, the abortive ternary complex (with the substrate and AMP-adenyl-imino diphosphate) gives a detailed picture of the hinge bending 'phosphoryl gripper' mechanism. Thermophilic characteristics include increased rigidity as a consequence of enhanced intramolecular interactions involving ion pairs, α helices and loop regions.

    • LDH from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima: The crystal structure at 2.1 Å resolution reveals strategies for intrinsic stabilization
    • 53. Auerbach G, Ostendorp R, Prade L, Korndörfer I, Dams T, Huber R, Jaenicke R: LDH from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima: the crystal structure at 2.1 Å resolution reveals strategies for intrinsic stabilization. Structure 1998, 6:769-781. Five lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) from moderate thermophiles and mesophiles (prokaryotes and eukaryotes) were compared with the structure of the quaternary complex of TmLDH (with NADH, the allosteric activator fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and the substrate analog oxamate as ligands). The three-dimensional folds of all five enzymes are very similar, allowing a correlation between structural parameters and thermal stability to be established: 7 out of 18 arginine residues are engaged in ion pairs and four form hydrogen bonds to mainchain carbonyl groups; the number of ion pairs correlates with the growth temperature; hydrogen bonds do not make a significant contribution; there is a decrease in hydrophobic surface area and an increase in helicity (including an additional 'thermo helix'), but no change in the amount of surface area buried in subunit contacts; TmLDH has fewer and smaller cavities than its less thermostable counterparts. The high cysteine content is not involved in metal binding; the relevance for stability of a four cysteine cluster is still to be explained.

    • The universal ancestor
    • 57. Woese C: The universal ancestor. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1998, 95:6854-6859. In analogy to physical annealing, a 'genetic annealing model' of evolution is presented. In the beginning, simple cellular entities evolved with high rates of mutation and lateral gene transfer. Later, both rates dropped and finally approached the evolutionary dynamics existing today; organismic lineages still did not exist. The universal phylogenetic tree emerges as its peripheral branches develop. Thus, the universal ancestor is a diverse community of cells evolving as biological unit; over time, it was refined into a decreasing number of cell types, finally leading to the present 'kingdoms of life'.

The designed sevenfold mutant shows an increased stability (18 kJ/mol) and enhanced thermostability (>99°C). This method may potentially be applied to the stabilization of other unrelated protein folds.

The moderately halophilic nature of the enzyme, which retains its native state at monovalent salt concentrations as low as 0.5 M, is characterized by a lack of the structural features that are known to occur in extremely halophilic proteins. Differences in the percentage of carboxylate groups are statistically insignificant; similarly, no significant increase in ion-pair interactions is detectable.

Comparing the Pyrococcus citrate synthetase (CS) enzyme with CS from pig and Thermoplasma acidophilum, all three share a similar fold and the same acid-base catalysis. Given these similarities, trends in going from mesophilic CS to hyperthermophilic CS are detectable. These include increased compactness, more intimate subunit interactions, an increase in clustered intersubunit ion pairs, the shortening of loops and a reduction in the number of thermolabile residues.

A comparison of the crystal structures of glutamate dehydrogenases (GluDHs) from P. furiosus, Clostridium symbiosum and E. coli gives clear evidence for the formation of extended networks of ion pairs being a significant contribution to thermal stability. Homology modeling indicates that a decrease in temperature stability correlates with increased 'fragmentation' of ion-pair networks.

    • Crystal structures of E. Coli and S. Typhimurium 3-isopropyl MDH and comparison with their thermophilic counterpart from Thermus thermophilus
    • 96. Wallon G, Kryger G, Lovett ST, Oshima T, Ringe D, Petsko GA: Crystal structures of E. coli and S. typhimurium 3-isopropyl MDH and comparison with their thermophilic counterpart from Thermus thermophilus. J Mol Biol 1997, 266:1016-1031. All three 3-isopropyl malate dehydrogenase (IPMDH) structures show a resolution < 2.1 Å. The main stabilizing features in thermophilic IPMDH are an increased number of ion pairs, additional hydrogen bonds, a proportionately larger and more hydrophobic subunit interface, shortened N and C termini, and a larger number of proline residues. Aromatic-aromatic interactions, helical capping and cavities seem to be of lesser importance. The overall flexibility (monitored by the B factors of equivalent residues) is reduced in the case of S. typhimurium IPMDH.

    • Serial increase in the thermal stability of IPMDH from Bacillus subtilis by experimental evolution
    • 97. Akanuma S, Yamagishi A, Tanaka N, Oshima T: Serial increase in the thermal stability of IPMDH from Bacillus subtilis by experimental evolution. Protein Sci 1998, 7:678-705. The mesophilic IPMDH from B. subtilis was expressed in an IPMDH-deficient mutant of T. thermophilus. Variants growing at temperatures higher than the stability limit of wildtype B. subtilis IPMDH (56°C) were selected at 61-70°C. Three point mutants, I95L, M292I and T308I, and double and triple mutants thereof were isolated and characterized: The stability of the variants was improved, showing additivity in their stabilization effects, and the triple mutant had also higher specific activity than the wildtype protein.

    • Stabilization of E. Coli IPMDH by single amino acid substitutions
    • 98. Aoshima M, Oshima T: Stabilization of E. coli IPMDH by single amino acid substitutions. Protein Eng 1997, 10:249-254. In attempting to define the key positions responsible for the high stability of IPMDH from Thermus thermophilus (Tt) and Thermus aquaticus (Ta), sequence comparisons of all 20 known IPMDHs were carried out. As a result, a four-residue motif, which is present in the Tt and Ta sequences only, was found located between two highly conserved stretches of the sequence. Introducing this motif into E. coli IPMDH, one by one, enhanced thermostability, whereas introducing the whole motif caused destabilization. The three-dimensional structure allows a tentative explanation of the mechanism.
