Crystal structures of mutants of Thermus thermophilus IPMDH adapted to low temperatures.


Abstract

Random mutagenesis on thermophilic 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenases (IPMDH; EC 1.1.1.85) produced mutant enzymes which adapt to low temperatures. These mutants had higher activity at lower temperatures than the wild-type enzyme without losing high thermostability. Here we report three structures of the mutants of Thermus thermophilus IPMDH determined by X-ray diffraction which was adapted to a low-temperature environment. Two of them have unstable coenzyme binding states and the other one probably has a stable substrate binding state. The present research suggests that the adaptation is correlated with the binding of either coenzyme or the substrate.
