 Title of Invention: Multiply mutated subtilisins
Subtilisin DY comprises 274 amino acids and differs from subtilisin Carlsberg in 32 amino acid positions and from subtilisin BPN' by 82 amino acid replacements and one deletion (subtilisin DY lacks an amino acid residue corresponding to residue 56 of subtilisin BPN').
Subtilisins that may be modified in accordance with the present invention include, but are not limited to, naturally occurring subtilisins represented by the amino acid sequence of subtilisin Carlsberg, subtilisin BPN' the aprA gene product of Bacillus subtilis, subtilisin DY and the subtilisin of Bacillus mesentericus, and the subtilisin of B. subtilis var.
Heat denaturation is an irreversible reaction for subtilisin: in the absence of protease inhibitor the intact enzyme digests the unfolded form, in the presence of inhibitor the protein precipitates as it unfolds.

The three dimensional structure of proteinase K is similar to that of subtilisins (Paehler, A. et al., 1983, EMBO J. 3, 1311-1314) and there is about 35% homology of the amino acid sequence of proteinase K with that of subtilisins.

 Directed Mutagenesis and Protein Engineering
The enzyme subtilisin is a protease (a protein-digesting protein) produced by bacteria, and has a broad specificity for proteins that commonly soil clothing.
To improve the efficiency of laundry detergents, detergent manufacturers added subtilisin (and advertised it on the detergent box as "with biologically active enzymes" or with similar uninformative slogans).
However, subtilisin is inactivated by bleach, and it was found that this inactivation was due to oxidation of the amino acid methionine at position 22 of the subtilisin molecule.

The intramolecular chaperone (IMC) of subtilisin was used to trap a partially folded, stable crosslinked intermediate conformer (CLIC) through a disulfide bond between mutated IMC and subtilisin.
Since trapping of CLIC through a disulfide bond forces the interactions of the IMC domain with subtilisin to remain non-native, the consequences of these interactions on a peptide substrate were examined.

In that work, we could show that subtilisin treatment did not affect the position of the neck in dimeric constructs ( Figure 6 ; compare cyan and magenta volumes).
We also suggest that this effect may be the major reason for the lower processivity reported for kinesin by Wang and Sheetz (2000), as a strongly bound ADP state probably stalls the motor.
In addition, subtilisin treatment does not seem to affect the flexible nature of the neck-linker in nucleotide-free (see also Skiniotis et al, 2003) and, presumably, ADP conditions.
