چکیده انگلیسی
The Thermotoga maritima arginine binding protein (TmArgBP) is a member of the periplasmic binding protein superfamily. As a highly thermostable protein, TmArgBP has been investigated for the potential to serve as a protein scaffold for the development of fluorescent protein biosensors. To establish a relationship between structural dynamics and ligand binding capabilities, we constructed single tryptophan mutants to probe the arginine binding pocket. Trp residues placed around the binding pocket reveal a strong dependence on fluorescence emission of the protein with arginine for all but one of the mutants. Using these data, we calculated dissociation constants of 1.9-3.3 μM for arginine. Stern-Volmer quenching analysis demonstrated that the protein undergoes a large conformational change upon ligand binding, which is a common feature of this protein superfamily. While still active at room temperature, time-resolved intensity and anisotropy decay data suggest that the protein exists as a highly rigid structure under these conditions. Interestingly, TmArgBP exists as a dimer at room temperature in both the presence and absence of arginine, as determined by asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) and supported by native gel-electrophoresis and time-resolved anisotropy. Our data on dynamics and stability will contribute to our understanding of hyperthermophilic proteins and their potential biotechnological applications.
