l-Lactate dehydrogenase (l-LDH) of Lactobacillus casei (LCLDH) is a typical bacterial allosteric l-LDH that requires fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) for its enzyme activity. A mutant LCLDH was designed to introduce an inter-subunit salt bridge network at the Q-axis subunit interface, mimicking Lactobacillus pentosus non-allosteric l-LDH (LPLDH). The mutant LCLDH exhibited high catalytic activity with hyperbolic pyruvate saturation curves independently of FBP, and virtually the equivalent K-m and V-m values at pH 5.0 to those of the fully activated wild-type enzyme with FBP, although the K-m value was slightly improved with FBP or Mn2+ at pH 7.0. The mutant enzyme exhibited a markedly higher apparent denaturating temperature (T-1/2) than the wild-type enzyme in the presence of FBP, but showed an even lower T-1/2 without FBP, where it exhibited higher activation enthalpy of inactivation (delta H-double dagger). This result is consistent with the fact that the active state is more unstable than the inactive state in allosteric equilibrium of LCLDH. The LPLDH-like network appears to be conserved in many bacterial non-allosteric l-LDHs and dimeric l-malate dehydrogenases, and thus to be a key for the functional divergence of bacterial l-LDHs during evolution.
