Popis: Residue-residue interactions are the basis of protein thermostability. The molecular conformations of Streptomyces lividans xylanase (xyna_strli) and Thermoascus aurantiacus xylanase (xyna_theau) at 300K, 325K and 350K were obtained by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Dynamic weighted residue interaction networks were constructed and the rigid-communities were detected using the ESPRA algorithm and the Evolving Graph+Fast-Newman algorithm. The residues in the rigid-communities are primarily located in loop2, short helixes $\alpha 2^{\prime}, \alpha 3^{\prime}, \alpha 4^{\prime}$ α 2 ' , α 3 ' , α 4 ' and helixes $\alpha 3$ α 3 and $\alpha 4$ α 4 . Thus, the rigid-community is close to the N-terminus of xylanase, which is usually stabilized to increase thermostability using site-directed mutagenesis. The evolution of the rigid-community with increasing temperature shows a stable synergistic interaction between loop2, $\alpha 2^{\prime}, \alpha 3^{\prime}$ α 2 ' , α 3 ' and $\alpha 4^{\prime}$ α 4 ' in xyna_theau. In particular, the short helixes $\alpha 2^{\prime}$ α 2 ' and $\alpha 3^{\prime}$ α 3 ' form a “thermo helix” to promote thermostability. In addition, tight global interactions between loop2, $\alpha 2^{\prime}, \alpha 3^{\prime}, \alpha 3, \alpha 4^{\prime}$ α 2 ' , α 3 ' , α 3 , α 4 ' and $\alpha 4$ α 4 of xyna_theau are identified, consisting mainly of hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces and π-π stacking. These residue interactions are more resistant to high temperatures than those in xyna_strli. Robust residue interactions within these secondary structures are key factors influencing xyna_strli and xyna_theau thermostability. Analyzing the rigid-community can elucidate the cooperation of secondary structures, which cannot be discovered from sequence and 3D structure alone.
