SfTSA was found to have the following characteristics: (i) The stabilities against heat and denaturant of SfTSA were lower than those of an alpha subunit (EcTSA) from Escherichia coli. This lower equilibrium stability originated from both a faster unfolding rate and a slower refolding rate; (ii) the heat denaturation of SfTSA was completely reversible at pH 7.0 and the solubility of denatured SfTSA was higher than that of denatured EcTSA. The two-state transition of denaturation for SfTSA was highly cooperative, whereas the denaturation process of EcTSA was considerably more complex and (iii) the global structure of SfTSA was quite similar to those of alpha subunits from other species. Relative to those other proteins, SfTSA exhibited an increase in cavity volume and a decrease in the number of ion pairs. SfTSA also lacks a hydrogen bond near loop B, related to catalytic function. These characteristics of SfTSA might provide the conformational flexibility required for catalytic activity at low temperatures.
