Our understanding of the contribution of protein dynamics to fu nction is still emergent. In a protein engineering context, do we need to take into account the dynami cs in order to maximize the fitness and function of the resulting proteins? Using high resolution c rystal structures, NMR relaxation dispersion and μs molecular dynamics simulations, we compare tw o naturally evolved homologous class A β-lactamases, TEM-1 and PSE-4 which share a high degree of structural and functional conservation. We observed a conservation of restrict ed dynamics on a catalytically relevant timescale. This is consistent with dynamics being an e volutionarily conserved feature. However, laboratory-engineered chimeric enzymes obtained by rec ombination of the two homologs exhibit striking dynamic differences, despite the func tion and structure being conserved. The laboratory-engineered chimeras are thus functionally and st ructurally tolerant to modified dynamics on the timescale of the catalytic turnover. This toler ance of β-lactamases to dynamic changes could be linked to the high fitness of the naturally ev olved proteins and implies that maintenance of native-like protein dynamics may not be essentia l when engineering functional proteins.
