MAS1 from marine Streptomyces sp. strain W007 belongs to the bacterial lipase I.7 subfamily and is characterized as a thermostable and nonregiospecific lipase. To shed light on the catalytic mechanism of MAS1, we determined its crystal structure with closed conformation in two crystal forms at 2.3 Å resolution. MAS1 adopts the canonical α/β hydrolase core fold with its catalytic triad being formed by S109, D200 and H232. Structural analysis and biochemical assays revealed that disulfide bonds and salt bridges play a vital role in the thermostability of MAS1. In addition, we discovered that the replacement of H108 with a tryptophan converts MAS1 from a nonregiospecific to an sn-1,3-specific lipase, suggesting the functional importance of the second position from the conserved pentapeptide motif in defining the regiospecificity of MAS1. Our present study provides insights into the molecular basis for the thermostability and regiospecificity of MAS1, and it may aid in the rational design of thermostable or regiospecific lipases for potential industrial applications.
