Structural prediction and comparative docking studies of psychrophilic ?- Galactosidase with lactose, ONPG and PNPG against its counter parts of mesophilic and thermophilic enzymes.

ABSTRACT: Enzymes from psychrophiles catalyze the reactions at low temperatures with higher specific activity. Among all the psychrophilic enzymes produced, cold active ?-galactosidase from marine psychrophiles revalorizes a new arena in numerous areas at industrial level. The hydrolysis of lactose in to glucose and galactose by cold active ?-galactosidase offers a new promising approach in removal of lactose from milk to overcome the problem of lactose intolerance. Herein we propose, a 3D structure of cold active ?-galactosidase enzyme sourced from Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis by using Modeler 9v8 and best model was developed having 88% of favourable region in ramachandran plot. Modelling was followed by docking studies with the help of Auto dock 4.0 against the three substrates lactose, ONPG and PNPG. In addition, comparative docking studies were also performed for the 3D model of psychrophilic ?-galactosidase with mesophilic and thermophilic enzymes. Docking studies revealed that binding affinity of enzyme towards the three different substrates is more for psychrophilic enzyme when compared with mesophilic and thermophilic enzymes. It indicates that the enzyme has high specific activity at low temperature when compared with mesophilic and thermophilic enzymes.

Project description:To investigate the role of electrostatics in different temperature adaptations, we performed a comparative study on subtilisin-like serine proteases from psychrophilic Vibrio sp. PA-44 (VPR), mesophilic Engyodontium album (Tritirachium album) (PRK), and thermophilic Thermus aquaticus (AQN) using multiple-replica molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with continuum electrostatics calculations. The results reveal that although salt bridges are not a crucial factor in determining the overall thermostability of these three proteases, they on average provide the greatest, moderate, and least electrostatic stabilization to AQN, PRK, and VPR, respectively, at the respective organism growth temperatures. Most salt bridges in AQN are effectively stabilizing and thus contribute to maintaining the overall structural stability at 343 K, while nearly half of the salt bridges in VPR interconvert between being stabilizing and being destabilizing, likely aiding in enhancing the local conformational flexibility at 283 K. The individual salt bridges, salt-bridge networks, and calcium ions contribute differentially to local stability and flexibility of these three enzyme structures, depending on their spatial distributions and electrostatic strengths. The shared negatively charged surface potential at the active center of the three enzymes may provide the active-center flexibility necessary for nucleophilic attack and proton transfer. The differences in distributions of the electro-negative, electro-positive, and electro-neutral potentials, particularly over the back surfaces of the three proteases, may modulate/affect not only protein solubility and thermostability but also structural stability and flexibility/rigidity. These results demonstrate that electrostatics contributes to both heat and cold adaptation of subtilisin-like serine proteases through fine-tuning, either globally or locally, the structural stability and conformational flexibility/rigidity, thus providing a foundation for further engineering and mutagenesis studies.
