PubMed Abstract: The 1,3-1,4-beta-glucanases from Bacillus macerans and Bacillus licheniformis, as well as related hybrid enzymes, are stable proteins comprised of one compact jellyroll domain. Their structures are studied in an effort to reveal the degree of redundancy to which the three-dimensional structure of protein domains is encoded by the amino acid sequence. For the hybrid 1,3-1,4-beta-glucanase H(A16-M), it could be shown recently that a circular permutation of the sequence giving rise to the variant cpA16M-59 is compatible with wildtype-like enzymatic activity and tertiary structure (Hahn et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:10417-10421, 1994). Since the circular permutation yielding cpA16M-59 mimicks that found in the homologous enzyme from Fibrobacter succinogenes, the question arose whether de novo circular permutations, not guided by molecular evolution of the 1,3-1,4-beta-glucanases, could also produce proteins with native-like fold. The circularly permuted variants cpA16M-84, cpA16M-127, and cpA16M-154 were generated by PCR mutagenesis of the gene encoding H(A16-M), synthesized in Escherichia coli and shown to be active in beta-glucan hydrolysis. CpA16M-84 and cpA16M-127 were crystallized in space groups P2(1) and P1, respectively, and their crystal structures were determined at 1.80 and 2.07 A resolution. In both proteins the main parts of the beta-sheet structure remain unaffected by the circular permutation as is evident from a root-mean-square deviation of main chain atoms from the reference structure within the experimental error. The only major structural perturbation occurs near the novel chain termini in a surface loop of cpA16M-84, which becomes destabilized and rearranged. The results of this study are interpreted to show that: (1) several circular permutations in the compact jellyroll domain of the 1,3-1,4-beta-glucanases are tolerated without radical change of enzymatic activity or tertiary structure, (2) the three-dimensional structures of simple domains are encoded by the amino acid sequence with sufficient redundancy to tolerate a change in the sequential order of secondary structure elements along the sequence, and (3) the native N-terminal region is not needed to guide the folding polypeptide chain toward its native conformation.
