Indeed, SspCA retains a high catalytic activity even after being heated to 343-373 K for several hours. Here, the crystallographic structure of this alpha-carbonic anhydrase (alpha-CA) is reported and the factors responsible for its function at high temperature are elucidated. In particular, the study suggests that increased structural compactness, together with an increased number of charged residues on the protein surface and a greater number of ionic networks, seem to be the key factors involved in the higher thermostability of this enzyme with respect to its mesophilic homologues. These findings are of extreme importance, since they provide a structural basis for the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for thermal stability in the alpha-CA family for the first time. The data obtained offer a tool that can be exploited to engineer alpha-CAs in order to obtain enzymes with enhanced thermostability for use in the harsh conditions of the CO2 capture and sequestration processes.
