- Thermostability is the key to maintain the structural integrity and catalytic activity of enzymes in industrial biotechnological processes, such as terpene cyclase-mediated generation of medicines, chiral synthons, and fine chemicals. However, affording a large increase in the thermostability of enzymes through site directed protein engineering techniques can constitute a challenge. In this paper, we used ancestral sequence reconstruction to create a hyperstable variant of the ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase PtmT2, a terpene cyclase involved in the assembly of antibiotics. Molecular dynamics simulations on the its timescale were performed to shed light on possible molecular mechanisms contributing to activity at an elevated temperature and the large 40 degrees C increase in melting temperature observed for an ancestral variant of PtmT2. In silico analysis revealed key differences in the flexibility of a loop capping the active site, between extant and ancestral proteins. For the modern enzyme, the loop collapses into the active site at elevated temperatures, thus preventing biocatalysis, whereas the loop remains in a productive conformation both at ambient and high temperatures in the ancestral variant. Restoring a Pro loop residue introduced in the ancestral variant to the corresponding Gly observed in the extant protein led to reduced catalytic activity at high temperatures, with only moderate effects on the melting temperature, supporting the importance of the flexibility of the capping loop in thermoadaptation. Conversely, the inverse Gly to Pro loop mutation in the modern enzyme resulted in a 3-fold increase in the catalytic rate. Despite an overall decrease in maximal activity of ancestor compared to wild type, its increased thermostability provides a robust backbone amenable for further enzyme engineering. Our work cements the importance of loops in enzyme catalysis and provides a molecular mechanism contributing to thermoadaptation in an ancestral enzyme.
