Abstract

Esterases receive special attention because their wide distribution in biological systems and environments and their importance for physiology and chemical synthesis. The prediction of esterases substrate promiscuity level from sequence data and the molecular reasons why certain such enzymes are more promiscuous than others, remain to be elucidated. This limits the surveillance of the sequence space for esterases potentially leading to new versatile biocatalysts and new insights into their role in cellular function. Here we performed an extensive analysis of the substrate spectra of 145 phylogenetically and environmentally diverse microbial esterases, when tested with 96 diverse esters. We determined the primary factors shaping their substrate range by analyzing substrate range patterns in combination with structural analysis and protein-ligand simulations. We found a structural parameter that helps ranking (classifying) promiscuity level of esterases from sequence data at 94% accuracy. This parameter, the active site effective volume, exemplifies the topology of the catalytic environment by measuring the active site cavity volume corrected by the relative solvent accessible surface area (SASA) of the catalytic triad. Sequences encoding esterases with active site effective volumes (cavity volume/SASA) above a threshold show greater substrate spectra, which can be further extended in combination with phylogenetic data. This measure provides also a valuable tool for interrogating substrates capable of being converted. This measure, found to be transferred to phosphatases of the haloalkanoic acid dehalogenase superfamily and possibly other enzymatic systems, represents a powerful tool for low-cost bioprospecting for esterases with broad substrate ranges, in large scale sequence datasets.

Abstract

The moderate thermophilic bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus P1 expresses a thermostable lipase that was active and stable at the high temperature. Based on secondary structure predictions and secondary structure-driven multiple sequence alignment with the homologous lipases of known three-dimensional (3-D) structure, we constructed the 3-D structure model of this enzyme and the model reveals the topological organization of the fold, corroborating our predictions. We hypothesized for this enzyme the alpha/beta-hydrolase fold typical of several lipases and identified Ser-113, Asp-317, and His-358 as the putative members of the catalytic triad that are located close to each other at hydrogen bond distances. In addition, the strongly inhibited enzyme by 10 mM PMSF and 1-hexadecanesulfonyl chloride was indicated that it contains a serine residue which plays a key role in the catalytic mechanism. It was also confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis that mutated Ser-113, Asp-317, and His-358 to Ala and the activity of the mutant enzyme was drastically reduced.

Abstract

The gene coding for an extracellular lipase of Bacillus stearothermophilus L1 was cloned in Escherichia coli. Sequence analysis showed an open reading frame of 1254 bp, which encodes a polypeptide of 417 amino acid residues. The polypeptide was composed of a signal sequence (29 amino acids) and a mature protein of 388 amino acids. An alanine replaces the first glycine in the conserved pentapeptide (Gly-X-Ser-X-Gly) around the active site serine. The expressed lipase was purified by hydrophobic interaction and ion exchange chromatography using buffers containing 0.02% (v/v) Triton X-100. The lipase was most active at 60-65 degrees C and in alkaline conditions around pH 9-10. The lipase had highest activity toward p-nitrophenyl caprylate among the synthetic substrates and tripropionin among the triglycerides. It hydrolyzed beef tallow and palm oil more rapidly than olive oil at 50 degrees C.

Abstract

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to understand how protein structure, dynamics, and flexibility are affected by adaptation to high temperature for several years. We report here the results of the high temperature MD simulations of Bacillus stearothermophilus L1 (L1 lipase). We found that the N-terminal moiety of the enzyme showed a high flexibility and dynamics during high temperature simulations which preceded and followed by clear structural changes in two specific regions; the small domain and the main catalytic domain or core domain of the enzyme. These two domains interact with each other through a Zn(2+)-binding coordination with Asp-61 and Asp-238 from the core domain and His-81 and His-87 from the small domain. Interestingly, the His-81 and His-87 were among the highly fluctuated and mobile residues at high temperatures. The results appear to suggest that tight interactions of Zn(2+)-binding coordination with specified residues became weak at high temperature which suggests the contribution of this region to the thermostability of the enzyme.

Abstract

Lipase L1 from Geobacillus stearothermophilus L1 contains an unusual extra domain, making a tight intramolecular interaction with the main catalytic domain through a Zn2+-binding coordination. To elucidate the role of the Zn2+, we disrupted the Zn2+-binding site by mutating the zinc-ligand residues (H87A, D61A/H87A, and D61A/H81A/H87A/D238A). The activity vs. temperature profiles of the mutant enzymes showed that the disruption of the Zn2+-binding site resulted in a notable decrease in the optimal temperature for maximal activity from 60 to 45-50 degrees C. The mutations also abolished the Zn2+-induced thermal stabilization. The wild-type enzyme revealed a 34.6-fold increase in stabilization with the addition of Zn2+ at 60 degrees C, whereas the mutant enzymes exhibited no response to Zn2+. Additional circular dichroism spectroscopy studies also confirmed the structural stabilizing role of Zn2+ on lipase L1 at elevated temperatures.

Abstract

The bacterial thermoalkalophilic lipases optimally hydrolyze saturated fatty acids at elevated temperatures. They also have significant sequence homology with staphylococcal lipases, and both the thermoalkalophilic and staphylococcal lipases are grouped as the lipase family I.5. We report here the first crystal structure of the lipase family I.5, the structure of a thermoalkalophilic lipase from Bacillus stearothermophilus L1 (L1 lipase) determined at 2.0-A resolution. The structure is in a closed conformation, and the active site is buried under a long lid helix. Unexpectedly, the structure exhibits a zinc-binding site in an extra domain that accounts for the larger molecular size of the family I.5 enzymes in comparison to other microbial lipases. The zinc-coordinated extra domain makes tight interactions with the loop extended from the C terminus of the lid helix, suggesting that the activation of the family I.5 lipases may be regulated by the strength of the interactions. The unusually long lid helix makes strong hydrophobic interactions with its neighbors. The structural information together with previous biochemical observations indicate that the temperature-mediated lid opening is triggered by the thermal dissociation of the hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract

The gene encoding a thermostable lipase secreted by Bacillus stearothermophilus P1 has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant lipase was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography (Poros 20 HQ) and Sephacryl S-200HR. The molecular mass was shown to be 43 209 Da by mass spectrometry. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained by the hanging-drop method of vapour diffusion with ammonium sulfate as the precipitating agent. Determination of the structure by molecular replacement with existing mesophilic lipase structures has proved unrewarding, as there is less than 20% sequence identity with known lipase structures, but preliminary results with heavy-atom soaking indicate that this strategy will allow the structure to be solved. The availability of this new lipase structure will be of particular significance because it will be the first thermostable lipase to be described.

Abstract

We describe the first lipase structure from a thermophilic organism. It shares less than 20% amino acid sequence identity with other lipases for which there are crystal structures, and shows significant insertions compared with the typical alpha/beta hydrolase canonical fold. The structure contains a zinc-binding site which is unique among all lipases with known structures, and which may play a role in enhancing thermal stability. Zinc binding is mediated by two histidine and two aspartic acid residues. These residues are present in comparable positions in the sequences of certain lipases for which there is as yet no crystal structural information, such as those from Staphylococcal species and Arabidopsis thaliana. The structure of Bacillus stearothermophilus P1 lipase provides a template for other thermostable lipases, and offers insight into mechanisms used to enhance thermal stability which may be of commercial value in engineering lipases for industrial uses.

Abstract

An expression library was generated from a partial NcoI and HindIII digest of genomic DNA from the thermophilic bacterium, Bacillus stearothermophilus P1. The DNA fragments were cloned into the expression vector pQE-60 and transformed into Escherichia coli M15[EP4]. Sequence analysis of a lipase gene showed an open reading frame of 1254 nucleotides coding a 29-amino-acid signal sequence and a mature sequence of 388 amino acids. The expressed lipase was isolated and purified to homogeneity in a single chromatographic step. The molecular mass of the lipase was determined to be approximately 43 kDa by SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry. The purified lipase had an optimum pH of 8.5 and showed maximal activity at 55 degrees C. It was highly stable in the temperature range of 30-65 degrees C. The highest activity was found with p-nitrophenyl ester-caprate as the synthetic substrate and tricaprylin as the triacylglycerol. Its activity was strongly inhibited by 10 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride and 1-hexadecanesulfonyl chloride, indicating that it contains a serine residue which plays a key role in the catalytic mechanism. In addition, it was stable for 1 h at 37 degrees C in 0.1% Chaps and Triton X-100.
