In this paper, we argue that conformational differences within globular `housekeeping' enzymes may allow rapid adaptation to novel environments. Muscle-type lactate dehydrogenases (A4-LDHs) from the gobies Gillichthys seta and G. mirabilis have identical amino acid sequences but show potentially adaptive differences in substrate affinity (apparent Michaelis constants for pyruvate, KmPYR) as well as differences in thermal stability. We examined the A4-LDH of each species using fluorescence spectroscopy, near- and far-ultraviolet circular dichroism (CD)spectroscopy and hydrogen\/deuterium exchange (H\/D) Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to determine whether structural differences were apparent, the extent to which structural differences could be related to differences in conformational flexibility and whether specific changes in secondary or tertiary structure could be defined. The fluorescence spectra and far-ultraviolet CD spectra of the A4-LDH from the two species were indistinguishable, suggesting that the two conformations are very similar in secondary and tertiary structure. Apparent melting temperatures(Tm) followed by fluorescence and CD spectroscopy confirmed that the G. mirabilis A4-LDH is more thermally stable than the G. seta form. H\/D exchange kinetics of Gillichthys A4-LDH was described using double-exponential regression; at 20 \u00b0C, G. seta A4-LDH has a higher exchange constant, indicating a more flexible and open structure. At 40\u00b0C, the difference in H\/D exchange constants disappears. Second-derivative analysis of H\/D exchange infrared spectra indicates that \u03b1-helical, but not \u03b2-sheet structure, differs in conformational flexibility between the two forms. Second-derivative ultraviolet spectra indicate that at least one of the five tyrosyl residues in the Gillichthys LDH-A monomer is located in a more hydrophobic environment in the G. mirabilis form. Homology models of A4-LDH indicate that Tyr246 is the most likely candidate to experience a modified environment because it is involved in subunit contacts within the homotetramer and sits in a hinge between a static\u03b1-helix and one involved in catalytic conformational changes. Subtle differences in conformation around this residue probably play a role both in altered flexibility and in the potentially adaptive differences in kinetics between the two A4-LDH forms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.205.9.1293","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]],"date-time":"2021-04-25T04:51:11Z","timestamp":1619326271000},"page":"1293-1303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Temperature adaptation in<i>Gillichthys<\/i>(Teleost: Gobiidae)A4-lactate dehydrogenases"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"205","author":[{"given":"Peter A.","family":"Fields","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hopkins Marine Station, Biological Sciences Department, Stanford University, Pacific Grove, CA 93950, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong-Sung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO 80262, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John F.","family":"Carpenter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO 80262, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George N.","family":"Somero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hopkins Marine Station, Biological Sciences Department, Stanford University, Pacific Grove, CA 93950, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"237","reference":[{"key":"2021042504494724600_REF1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abad-Zapatero, C., Griffith, J.
