To shed light on the molecular features related to cold-adaptation in serine-proteases, we have carried out molecular dynamics simulations of homologous mesophilic and psychrophilic trypsins, with particular attention to evaluation of intramolecular interactions and flexibility. Psychrophilic trypsins present fewer interdomain interactions and enhanced localized flexibility in regions close to the catalytic site. Notably, these regions fit well with the pattern of protein flexibility previously reported for psychrophilic elastases. Our results indicate that specific sites within the serine-protease fold can be considered hot spots of cold-adaptation and that psychrophilic trypsins and elastases have independently discovered similar molecular strategies to optimize flexibility at low temperatures.
