KINETIC STABILIZATION OF BACILLUS LICHENIFORMIS-AMYLASE THROUGH INTRODUCTION OF HYDROPHOBIC RESIDUES AT THE SURFACE
Overview
It is generally assumed that in proteins hydrophobic residues are not, favorable at solvent-exposed sites, and that amino acid substitutions on, the surface have little effect on protein thermostability. Contrary to, these assumptions, we have identified hyperthermostable variants of, Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase (BLA) that result from the, incorporation of hydrophobic residues at the surface. Under highly, destabilizing conditions, a variant combining five stabilizing mutations, unfolds 32 times more slowly and at a temperature 13 degrees C higher than, the wild-type. Crystal structure analysis at 1.7 A resolution suggests, that stabilization is achieved through (a) extension of the concept of, increased hydrophobic packing, usually applied to cavities, to surface, indentations, ...
