The engineering of access tunnels in order to increase or decrease catalytic activity and specificity in a rational way is a challenging task. Here, we describe a combined experimental and computational approach to characterize the structural basis of altered activity in the haloalkane dehalogenase LinB D147C+L177C variant. While the overall protein fold is similar to the wild type enzyme and the other LinB variants, the access tunnels have been altered by introduced cysteines that were expected to form a disulfide bond. Surprisingly, the mutations have allowed several conformations of the amino acid chain in their vicinity, interfering with the structural analysis of the mutant by X-ray crystallography. The duration required for the growing of protein crystals changed from days to 1.5 years by introducing the substitutions. The haloalkane dehalogenase LinB D147C+L177C variant crystal structure was solved to 1.15 Å resolution, characterized and deposited to Protein Data Bank under PDB ID 6s06. dc:creator: Iuliia Iermak, Oksana Degtjarik, Petra Havlickova, Michal Kuty, Radka Chaloupkova, Jiri Damborsky, Tatyana Prudnikova and Ivana Kuta Smatanova dcterms:created: 2020-12-24T11:24:39Z Last-Modified: 2020-12-24T11:29:44Z dcterms:modified: 2020-12-24T11:29:44Z dc:format: application/pdf; version=1.7 title: Description of Transport Tunnel in HaloalkaneDehalogenase Variant LinB D147C+L177C fromSphingobium japonicum Last-Save-Date: 2020-12-24T11:29:44Z pdf:docinfo:creator_tool: LaTeX with hyperref access_permission:fill_in_form: true pdf:docinfo:keywords: bacterial enzyme; haloalkane dehalogenase; mutant form; crystallization; tertiary structure; disulfide bond; protein engineering; molecular dynamics; access tunnel; substrate specificity pdf:docinfo:modified: 2020-12-24T11:29:44Z meta:save-date: 2020-12-24T11:29:44Z pdf:encrypted: false dc:title: Description of Transport Tunnel in HaloalkaneDehalogenase Variant LinB D147C+L177C fromSphingobium japonicum modified: 2020-12-24T11:29:44Z cp:subject: The activity of enzymes with active sites buried inside their protein core highly depends on the efficient transport of substrates and products between the active site and the bulk solvent.
