abstract = {Specificity engineering is challenging and particularly
difficult for enzymes that have the catalytic machinery and
specificity determinants in close proximity. Restriction
endonucleases have been used as a paradigm for protein
engineering, but successful cases are rare. Here, we present
the results of a directed evolution approach to the
engineering of a dimeric, blunt end cutting restriction
enzyme NlaIV (GGN/NCC). Based on the remote similarity to
EcoRV endonuclease, regions for random mutagenesis and in
vitro evolution were chosen. The obtained variants cleaved
target sites with an up to 100-fold kcat/KM preference for
AT or TA (GGW/WCC) over GC or CG (GGS/SCC) in the central
dinucleotide step, compared to the only ~ 17-fold preference
of the wild-type enzyme. To understand the basis of the
increased specificity, we determined the crystal structure
of NlaIV. Despite the presence of DNA in the crystallization
mix, the enzyme crystallized in the free form. We therefore
constructed a computational model of the NlaIV–DNA
complex. According to the model, the mutagenesis of the
regions that were in the proximity of DNA did not lead to
the desired specificity change, which was instead conveyed
in an indirect manner by substitutions in the more distant
regions},
