Received 7 September 2005 revised 25 October 2005 accepted 31 October 2005 doi Proteins from organisms living in extreme conditions are of particular interest because of their potential for being templates for redesign of enzymes both in biotechnological and other industries. The crystal structure of a proteinase K-like enzyme from a psychrotroph Serratia species has been solved to A. The structure has been compared with the structures of proteinase K from Tritirachium album Limber and Vibrio sp. PA44 in order to reveal structural explanations for differences in biophysical properties. The Serratia peptidase shares around 40 and 64 identity with the Tritirachium and Vibrio peptidases respectively. The fold of the three enzymes is essentially identical with minor exceptions in surface loops. One calcium binding site is found in the Serratia peptidase in contrast to the Tritirachium and Vibrio peptidases which have two and three respectively. A disulfide bridge close to the S2 site in the Serratia and Vibrio peptidases an extensive hydrogen bond network in a tight loop close to .
