Remarkable stabilization of a psychrotrophic RNase HI by a combination of thermostabilizing mutations identified by the suppressor mutation method.

Abstract excerpt

Ribonuclease HI from the psychrotrophic bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (So-RNase HI) is much less stable than Escherichia coli RNase HI (Ec-RNase HI) by 22.4 degrees C in T m and 12.5 kJ mol (-1) in Delta G(H 2O), despite their high degrees of structural and functional similarity. To examine whether the stability of So-RNase HI increases to a level similar to that of Ec-RNase HI via introduction of several...
