 Abstract: Formyltransferase from Methanopyrus kandleri is composed of only one type of subunit of molecular mass 32 kDa. The enzyme is in a monomer/dimer/tetramer association equilibrium, the association constant being affected by lyotropic salts. Oligomerization is required for enzyme activity and thermostability. We report here on a subunit interface mutation (R261E) which affects the dimer/tetramer part of the association equilibrium of formyltransferase. With the mutant protein it was shown that tetramerization is not required for activity but is necessary for high thermostability.
