The arginine binding protein from T. maritima (ArgBP) exhibits several distinctive biophysical and structural properties. Here we show that ArgBP is also endowed with a ramarkable pressure stability as it undergoes minor structural changes only, even at 10 kbar. A similar stability is also observed for its folded fragments (truncated monomer and individual domains). A survey of literature data on the pressure stability of proteins highlights the uncommon behavior of ArgBP.

Abstract

The arginine binding protein from T. maritima (ArgBP) exhibits several distinctive biophysical and structural properties. Here we show that ArgBP is also endowed with a ramarkable pressure stability as it undergoes minor structural changes only, even at 10 kbar. A similar stability is also observed for its folded fragments (truncated monomer and individual domains). A survey of literature data on the pressure stability of proteins highlights the uncommon behavior of ArgBP.
