Here we present a biophysical, structural, and computational analysis of the directed evolution of the human DNA repair protein O-6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) into SNAP-tag, a self-labeling protein tag. Evolution of hAGT led not only to increased protein activity but also to that the reactivity of the suicide enzyme can be influenced by higher stability, especially of the alkylated protein, suggesting stabilizing the product of the irreversible reaction. Whereas wild-type hAGT is rapidly degraded in cells after alkyl transfer, the high stability of benzylated SNAP-tag prevents proteolytic degradation. Our data indicate that the intrinstic stability of a key a helix is an important factor in triggering the unfolding and degradation of wild-type hAGT upon alkyl transfer, providing new insights into the structure-function relationship of the DNA repair protein.
