Ion pairs have been considered to be general stabilizing factors in hyperthermophilic proteins, but the present experimental data cannot fully explain how ion pairs and ion-pair networks contribute to the stability. In this paper, we show experimental evidence that not all of the internal ion pairs contribute to the thermal and thermodynamic stability, using O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase from Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD 1 (Tk-MGMT) as a model protein. Of three mutants in which an inter-helical ion pair was disrupted, only one mutant (E93A) was shown to be destabilized. ΔG of E93A was lower by _??_4 kJ mol-1 than that of the wild type, and E93A unfolded one order of magnitude faster than did the wild type and other variants. Glu 93 has unique properties in forming an ion-pair network that bridges the N- and C-terminal domains and connects three helices in the protein interior.
