The relationship between the autodegradation and thermostability of thermolysin (TLN) was studied. Four autodegradation sites in TLN were identified in the presence of Ca(2+). One of the sites was identified as Gly(154)-Leu(155), and Leu(155) was substituted with various amino acids, X = Ala, Ser, Phe, and Gly, by site-directed mutagenesis. The thermostability at 80 degrees C increased with the amino acid substitutions in the order of Ala>Phe>Ser>Gly>Leu (WT TLN). An additional autodegradation fragment that was not observed with WT TLN appeared for all mutant TLNs examined. The autodegradation site shifted from the Gly(154)-Leu(155) bond to the X(155)-Ile(156) one with the mutation at Leu(155). Furthermore, the Ile(164)-Asp(165) bond was recognized newly as an autodegradation site in the mutant TLNs for the production of AF3'.
