Cloning, Expression, and Characterization of a Cold-Adapted Shikimate Kinase from the Psychrophilic Bacterium Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H

Abstract
Most cold-adapted enzymes possess higher Km and kcat values than those of their mesophilic
counterparts to maximize the reaction rate. This characteristic is often ascribed to a high
structural flexibility and improved dynamics in the active site. However, this may be less
convincing to cold-adapted metabolic enzymes, which work at substrate concentrations near
Km. In this respect, cold adaptation of a shikimate kinase (SK) in the shikimate pathway from
psychrophilic Colwellia psychrerythraea (CpSK) was characterized by comparing it with a
mesophilic Escherichia coli homolog (EcSK). The optimum temperatures for CpSK and EcSK
activity were approximately 30°C and 40°C, respectively. The melting points were 33°C and
45°C for CpSK and EcSK, respectively. The ΔGH2O (denaturation in the absence of denaturing
agent) values were 3.94 and 5.74 kcal/mol for CpSK and EcSK, respectively. These results
indicated that CpSK was a cold-adapted enzyme. However, contrary to typical kinetic data,
CpSK had a lower Km for its substrate shikimate than most mesophilic SKs, and the kcat was not
increased. This observation suggested that CpSK may have evolved to exhibit increased
substrate affinity at low intracellular concentrations of shikimate in the cold environment.
Sequence analysis and homology modeling also showed that some important salt bridges were
lost in CpSK, and higher Arg residues around critical Arg 140 seemed to increase flexibility for
catalysis. Taken together, these data demonstrate that CpSK exhibits characteristics of cold
adaptation with unusual kinetic parameters, which may provide important insights into the
cold adaptation of metabolic enzymes.
