Streptomyces griseus leucine aminopeptidase (SGAP), which has two zinc atoms in its active site, is clinically important as a model for understanding the structure and mechanism of action of other metallopeptidases. SGAP is a calcium-activated and calcium-stabilized enzyme, and its activation by calcium correlates with substrate specificity. In our previous study, we found a non-calcium-modulated leucine aminopeptidase secreted by Streptomyces septatus, the primary structure of which showed 71% identity with SGAP. In this study, we constructed chimeras of SGAP and S. septatus aminopeptidase by using an in vivo DNA shuffling system and several mutant enzymes by site-directed mutagenesis to identify the key residues in this modulation by calcium. We identified the key residues Asp-173 and Asp-174 of SGAP associated with both SGAP activation and stabilization by calcium. We also showed that the known calcium-binding site, which is composed of Asp-3, Ile-4, Asp-262, and Asp-266 of SGAP, only contributes to SGAP stabilization by calcium. Furthermore, we identified an important residue, Glu-196, that functions in cooperation with Asp-173, Asp-174, and calcium to increase the catalytic activity of SGAP.
