Glu88 in the non-catalytic domain of acylpeptide hydrolase plays dual roles: charge neutralization for enzymatic activity and formation of salt bridge for thermodynamic stability.

Abstract excerpt

Acylpeptide hydrolase of Aeropyrum pernix K1 is composed of a catalytic alpha/beta hydrolase domain and a non-catalytic beta-propeller domain. The Glu88 residue of the propeller domain is highly conserved in the prolyl oligopeptidase family and forms an inter-domain salt bridge with Arg526, a key residue for substrate binding. We have dissected the functions of Glu88 using site-directed mutagenesis, steady-state...
