Fluorescence and circular dichroism in far-UV region were used to study the stability of trehalose/maltose binding protein (TMBP) from hyper thermophilic archaeonThermococcus litoralisand its complex with glucose (TMBP/Glc). The evaluation of difference between free energy of native and unfolded state for TMBP and TMBP/Glc showed that both of them are several times higher than that of proteins from mesophilic organisms. Due to the high stability and innate ability to bind glucose this protein is a good candidate as a sensitive element in biosensor systems for sugar control.

ABSTRACT We report the cloning and sequencing of a gene cluster encoding a maltose/trehalose transport system of the hyperthermophilic archaeonThermococcus litoralis that is homologous to themalEFG cluster encoding the Escherichia colimaltose transport system. The deduced amino acid sequence of themalE product, the trehalose/maltose-binding protein (TMBP), shows at its N terminus a signal sequence typical for bacterial secreted proteins containing a glyceride lipid modification at the N-terminal cysteine. The T. litoralis malE gene was expressed in E. coli under control of an inducible promoter with and without its natural signal sequence. In addition, in one construct the endogenous signal sequence was replaced by the E. coli MalE signal sequence. The secreted, soluble recombinant protein was analyzed for its binding activity towards trehalose and maltose. The protein bound both sugars at 85°C with aKd of 0.16 μM. Antibodies raised against the recombinant soluble TMBP recognized the detergent-soluble TMBP isolated from T. litoralis membranes as well as the products from all other DNA constructs expressed in E. coli. Transmembrane segments 1 and 2 as well as the N-terminal portion of the large periplasmic loop of the E. coli MalF protein are missing in the T. litoralis MalF. MalG is homologous throughout the entire sequence, including the six transmembrane segments. The conserved EAA loop is present in both proteins. The strong homology found between the components of this archaeal transport system and the bacterial systems is evidence for the evolutionary conservation of the binding protein-dependent ABC transport systems in these two phylogenetic branches.
