TABLE 2.

Comparison of the frequencies of charged amino acid residues for different domains in SdG5A and other extremophilic amylases.

Parameter SdG5A
AHA ZPA
Catalytic domain Accessory domain Linker CBM Entire protein
Acidic residues (%) 9.9 7.5 27.8 9.3 10.0 10.2 15.0
Basic residues (%) 11.7 8.6 5.6 5.2 9.8 7.8 11.8
Net charge density (z, %)a 1.6 1.1 −22.2 −4.1 −0.2 −2.8 −3.7

aNet charge density is estimated by z = (nbasic − nacidic)/length × 100%, where nbasic and nacidic are the number of basic and acidic residues, respectively. Acidic residues include glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Basic residues include histidine, lysine, and arginine. All sequences are presented in the Supplementary Material. AHA, α-amylase from Alteromonas haloplanctis; ZPA, α-amylase from Zunongwangia profunda.
