It is hypothesized that the Ca ions were involved in the activity, folding and stabilization of many protein structures. Many of these proteins contain repeat in toxin (RTX) motifs. AMS8 lipase from Antarctic strain AMS8 was found to have three RTX motifs. So, this research aimed to examine the influence of Ca ion towards the activity and folding of AMS8 lipase through various biophysical characterizations. The results showed that CaCl increased lipase activity. The far-UV circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis suggested that the secondary structure content was improved with the addition of CaCl. Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis showed that the presence of CaCl increased protein folding and compactness. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis suggested that AMS8 lipase became aggregated at a high concentration of CaCl.The binding constant (K) value from the isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) analysis proved that the Ca ion was tightly bound to the AMS8 lipase. In conclusion, Ca ions play crucial roles in the activity and folding of the AMS8 lipase. Calcium binding to RTX nonapeptide repeats sequences will induced the formation and folding of the RTX parallel -roll motif repeat structure.

Determining structure of highly flexible protein with multiple conformations can be challenging. This paper aims to combine molecular dynamics (MD) and small angle X-ray diffraction (SAX) techniques as a solution to overcome issues related to protein conformation in hardly crystallized protein. Based on prior studies, a cold-active lipase AMS8 was simulated in solvents showing stability in its N-terminal and high flexibility in its C-terminal.

Calcium-binding plays a decisive role in the folding and stabilization of many RTX proteins, especially for the RTX domain. Although many studies have been conducted to prove the contribution of Ca ion toward the folding and stabilization of RTX proteins, its functional dynamics and conformational structural changes remain elusive. Here, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to analyze the contribution of Ca ion toward the folding and stabilization of the RTX lipase (AMS8 lipase) structure.
