Publication Abstract from PubMed Among the strategies that employ genetic engineering to stabilize proteins, the introduction of disulfide bonds has proven to be a very potential approach. As, however, the replacement of amino acid residues by cysteines and the subsequent formation of the covalent bond can result in a severe deformation of the parental protein structure, the stabilization effect is strongly context dependent. Alternatively, the introduction of charged amino acid residues at the surface, which may result in the formation of extra ionic interactions or hydrogen bonds, provide propitious means for protein stabilization. The generation of an extra disulfide bond between residues 4 and 118 in ribonuclease A had resulted in a stabilization by 6 degrees C or 7 kJ mol(-1) , which was mainly caused by a deceleration of the unfolding reaction [Pecher, P. & Arnold, U. (2009) Biophys Chem, 141, 21-28]. Here, Asp83 was replaced by Glu resulting in a comparable stabilization. Moreover, combination of both mutations led to an additive effect and the resulting ribonuclease A variant (T(m) approximately 76 degrees C, DeltaG degrees approximately 53 kJ mol(-1) ) is the most stable ribonuclease A variant described so far. The analysis of the crystal structure of A4C/D83E/V118C-ribonuclease A reveals the formation of a salt bridge between the gamma-carboxyl group of Glu83 and the epsilon-amino group of Lys104.
