| Summary: | The substitutions of the amino acid residue at the predetermined critical point of the Cterminal
of L2 lipase may increase its thermostability and lipase activity. N and C-terminal
regions in most proteins are often disordered and flexible. However, some protein function
was closely related to flexibility as well as play a role in the enzyme reaction. The critical
point of the stability of L2 lipase structure was predicted at position 385 (wild type residue
Serine) of the L2 sequence based on I-Mutant2.0 software. The effects of substitution of
the amino acids at the critical point with Glutamic acid, Isoleucine, and Valine were
analyzed with Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation by using Yet Another Scientific
Artificial Reality Application (YASARA) software and it showed that the best predicted
mutant L2 lipases had lower RMSD value as compared to L2 lipase. It indicated that the
three mutants had higher compactness in the structure consequently enhancing the
stability. From RMSF analysis, mutations had reduced the flexibility of the enzyme. The
best predicted mutants (S385E, S385I, and S385V) were produced in the experimental lab
by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant L2 lipases (60.4 kDa) were purified to
homogeneity by a single chromatography step before proceeding with characterization.
There were high lipase activities produced by purified mutant L2 lipases at a temperature
range of 60-85 °C with the optimum temperature of 80 ºC, 75 °C and 70 °C for S385E,
S385V, and S385I lipases respectively. The optimum temperature for recombinant L2
lipase was at 70 °C. Mutant L2 lipases (S385E and S385V) had higher optimum
temperature compared to recombinant L2 lipase. The optimum pH for mutant L2 lipases
(S385E and S385V) was found to be at pH 8 and for S385I was at pH 9, whereas the
optimum pH for recombinant L2 lipase was at pH 9. S385I lipase was more thermostable
as compared to recombinant L2 lipase and other mutants at temperature 60 °C within 16
hours preincubation. The stability of S385V lipase in varies organic solvents was higher
as compared to recombinant L2 lipase. S385V lipase had relative activities higher than
100% which 111% in DMSO, 105% in acetone, 123% in diethyl ether and 124% in nhexane.
Tm values for S385V and S385E lipases were at 85.96 °C and 84.85 °C and the
values were higher as compared to recombinant L2 lipase which is only 66.73 °C. This showed the higher thermal stability of S385E and S38V lipases as compared to
recombinant L2 lipase. Thus, the substitutions at the predetermined critical point of the Cterminal
(Ser385) changed the functionality of the protein structure towards the activity,
stability, and flexibility of L2 lipase. The critical point mutation towards the structure of
L2 lipase provided a very advantageous strategy for the improvement of enzyme with
better function to adapt with harsh environment. |
