Extraction of total active proteomes from sediment samplesWe sampled 14 sediments along the coastlines of the Irish Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Red Sea (from 16°N to 53°N), applying uniform sampling and storage procedures. Location details and sediment temperature fluctuations are summarized in Supplementary Table S1. We collected sediments (5 Kg) in triplicate and extracted the total proteins using a well-established microbial detachment procedure67, with some modifications. We mixed 100 g of sediment with 300 ml of sterilized saline solution (5 mM sodium pyrophosphate and 35 g L−1 of NaCl) containing 150 mg L−1 of Tween 80 (from Merck Life Science S.L.U., Madrid, Spain) in an ice water bath. After re-suspension, samples were kept in a water bath ultra-sonicator (Bandelin SONOREX, Berlin, Germany) on ice and sonicated (60 W output) for 120 min. We repeated this procedure twice, with an ice water bath incubation of 60 min between each cycle. We then centrifuged the samples at 500 g for 15 min at 4 °C to remove the sediments in a centrifuge 5810 R (Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany). Supernatants were carefully transferred to a new tube, minimizing disruption of the sediments, and the resulting supernatants were centrifuged at 13,000 g for 15 min at 4 °C to produce microbial cell pellets. We used the resulting cell mix to extract the total protein by mixing the cells with 1.2 ml BugBuster® Protein Extraction Reagent (Novagen, Darmstadt, Germany) for 30 min with shaking (250 rpm). Subsequently, samples were disrupted by sonication using a pin Sonicator® 3000 (Misonix, New Highway Farmingdale, NY, USA) for a total time of 2 min (10 watts) on ice (4 cycles × 0.5 min with 1 min ice-cooling between each cycle). Extracts were centrifuged for 10 min at 12,000 g at 4 °C to separate cellular debris and intact cells. Supernatants were carefully aspirated (to avoid disturbing the pellet), transferred to new tubes, and stored at –80 °C until use. The protein solution was filtered at 15 °C for 7 h using Vivaspin filters (Sartorius, Goettingen, Germany) with a molecular weight (MW) cut-off of 3,000 Da to concentrate the proteins up to a final concentration of 10 mg ml−1, according to the Bradford Protein Assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, S.A., Madrid, Spain)68. The average total amount of proteins extracted per each 100 g of sediment was 612 µg (interquartile range, 31 µg, see details in Supplementary Fig. S2). In all cases, extensive dialysis of protein solutions against 40 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer was performed using a Pur-A-LyzerTM Maxi 1200 dialysis kit (Merck Life Science S.L.U., Madrid, Spain)69, and active proteins stored at a concentration of 10 mg ml−1at –86 °C until use. As reported previously70, 2DE was performed using GE Healthcare reagents and equipment, 11 cm IPG strips in the pH range of 3–10 and molecular weight ranging from 10 to 250 kDa (Precision Plus Protein Dual Color Standards #1610374, Bio-Rad Laboratories, S.A., Madrid, Spain). The 2-DE was performed using a validated pooling strategy71, in which proteins extracted from three independent biological replicates (i.e., sediments) were mixed in equal amounts and a total of 150 µg of protein were further loaded per gel. Staining was performed with SYPRO Ruby Protein Gel Stain (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA). The two-dimensional SDS-PAGE (12% acrylamide) gels of extracted proteins are reported in Supplementary Fig. S2 (original gels in Source Data). The same protocol was applied to extract and analyse by SDS-PAGE the total active proteins extracted from sediment samples with different temperature variability levels (HTV, ITV, and LTV) collected in the Red Sea (Supplementary Table S4). The total amount of protein extracted per each 100 g of sediment is given in Supplementary Table S8. Coomassie-stained one-dimension SDS-PAGE (1-DE) gels of extracted proteins are shown in Supplementary Fig. S9 (original gel in Source Data).Source, expression and purification of esterases and EXDOs from a wide geographical rangeWe recovered 83 enzymes (78 esterases and 5 EXDO) from microbial communities inhabiting marine sediments across ten distinct locations from the latitudinal transect described above: Ancona harbour (Anc), Priolo Gargallo (Pri), Gulf of Genoa, Messina harbour (Mes), Milazo harbour (Mil), Mar Chica lagoon (MCh), Bizerte lagoon (Biz), El-Max site (ElMax), Gulf of Aqaba (Aq), and Menai Strait (MS); further details are provided in Supplementary Data S3. Sources of the enzymes were the corresponding shotgun metagenomes (see Supplementary Table S3) and the metagenome clone libraries generated from the extracted DNA71. The sediment sample from the Gulf of Genoa was not used for activity tests and metaproteome analysis because no raw sample material was available; however, because of the possibility to access its shotgun metagenome (see Supplementary Table S3) and a metagenome clone library72, we used the sample for screening esterases to incorporate an additional latitude in our transect. In the case of Menai Strait (Irish Sea), five additional esterases were retrieved from a metagenome obtained from enriched cultures prepared with samples collected on 22nd June 2019 from Menai Strait (School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, St. George’s Pier, Menai Bridge, N53°13′31.3″; W4°09′33.3”). The water temperature was 14 °C and the salinity was 32 p.s.u. Two enrichment cultures were set up at 20 °C: (i) SW: seawater enrichment with 0.1% lignin; the enrichment was set up using 50 ml of the sample as inoculum with the addition of 0.1% lignin (Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, United Kingdom) (w/v); (ii) AW: algal surface wash-off in seawater, enriched with 0.1% lignin; the enrichment was set up using 50 ml of surface wash-off after mixing of ca. 10 g of Fucus (brown algae) in the seawater and removal of plant tissue, 0.1% lignin (w/v) was added. After 92 days of incubation, 5 ml of each enrichment cultures were transferred into the new flask containing 45 ml autoclaved and filtered seawater with 0.1% lignin. This procedure was repeated on days 185 and 260, and the incubation was stopped on day 365. The DNA was extracted using 12 months using MetaGnome extraction kit (EpiCentre, Biotechnologies, Madison, WI, USA), sequenced on Illumina MiSeq™ platform (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) using paired-end 250 bp reads at the Centre for Environmental Biotechnology (Bangor, UK), and sequencing reads were processed and analysed as described previously73.The screening, cloning and activity of a subset of 35 identified esterases have been reported previously72. The remaining 48 enzymes are reported for the first time in this study and were identified using naive and in silico metagenomic approaches, as detailed below. The environmental site from which each enzyme originated and the method employed for its identification are detailed in Supplementary Data S3. For naive screens addressing the recovery of new sequences encoding esterases and EXDO, the large-insert pCCFOS1 fosmid libraries made using the corresponding DNA samples, the CopyControl Fosmid Library Kit (Epicentre Biotechnologies, Madison, WI, USA) and the Escherichia coli EPI300-T1R strain were used. The nucleic acid extraction, construction and the functional screens of such libraries have been previously described72. In brief, fosmid clones were plated onto large (22.5 × 22.5 cm) Petri plates with Luria Bertani (LB) agar containing chloramphenicol (12.5 µg ml−1) and induction solution (Epicentre Biotechnologies; WI, USA), at a quantity recommended by the supplier to induce a high fosmid copy number. Clones were scored by the ability to hydrolyze α-naphthyl acetate and tributyrin (for esterase activity), and catechol (for EXDO activity)72,74. Positive clones presumed to contain esterases and EXDOs were selected, and their DNA inserts were sequenced using a MiSeq Sequencing System (Illumina, San Diego, USA) with a 2 × 150-bp sequencing v2 kit at Lifesequencing S.L. (Valencia, Spain). After sequencing, the reads were quality-filtered and assembled to generate nonredundant meta-sequences, and genes were predicted and annotated via BLASTP and the PSI-BLAST tool72. For in silico screens, addressing the recovery of new sequences encoding esterases, the predicted protein-coding genes, obtained after the sequencing of DNA material from resident microbial communities in each of the samples, were used. The meta-sequences are available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) nonredundant public database (accession numbers reported in Supplementary Data S3). Protein-coding genes identified from the DNA inserts of positive clones (naive screen) or from the meta-sequences were screened for enzymes of interest using the Blastp algorithm via the DIAMOND v2.0.9 program with default parameters (percentage of identity ≥60%; alignment length ≥70; e-value ≤1e−5)29, against the Lipase Engineering sequence databases (to screen for esterases) and AromaDeg database (for EXDO)74. Since the collection of sediments across locations experiencing different MATs was limited by our sampling capacity, to expand our range of exploration at a global scale and to validate our dataset, we added our single enzyme analysis to the seawater metagenomes retrieved from the Tara Ocean Expedition database (accession number in Supplementary Data S4). Due to the volume of sequences generated, this database provides access to a large number of enzymes, including those studied here through homology search. Esterases were selected as target sequences, and the following pipeline was used. First, we selected a sequence encoding an esterase reported as one of the most substrate-ambiguous esterases out of 145 tested (EH1, Protein Data Bank acc. nr. 5JD4) and well-distributed in the marine environment72. Second, we performed a homology search of this sequence against the Tara Ocean metagenome21 to retrieve similar sequences, using the Blastp algorithm via the DIAMOND v2.0.9 program30 (e-value 98% using SDS-PAGE analysis in a Mini PROTEAN electrophoresis system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, S.A., Madrid, Spain). Purified protein was stored at –86 °C until use at a concentration of 10 mg ml−1 in 40 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.0). A total of approximately 5–40 mg of total purified recombinant protein was obtained from 1 L of culture. Supplementary Fig. S1 illustrates a schematic representation of the pipeline implemented in this work to investigate enzyme activities in a large set of marine samples, starting from samples collected (sediments) and available metagenomes.Enzyme activity assessmentsAll substrates used for activity tests were of the highest purity and, if not indicated otherwise, were obtained from Merck Life Science S.L.U. (Madrid, Spain): 4-nitrophenyl-propionate (ref. MFCD00024664), 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (ref. 487663), 4-nitrophenyl β-D-galactose (ref. N1252), bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (ref. 123943), benzaldehyde (ref. B1334), 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-amine (ref. 184802-5G), pyridoxal phosphate (ref. P9255), acetophenone (ref. A10701), NADPH (ref. N5130) and catechol (ref. PHL82372). We directly tested total protein extracts for esterase, phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, and nuclease activity using 4-nitrophenyl-propionate, 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, 4-nitrophenyl β-D-galactose, and bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate, respectively, by following the production of 4-nitrophenol at 348 nm (extinction coefficient [ε], 4147 M−1 cm−1), as previously described69. For determination: [total protein]: 5 μg ml−1; [substrate]: 0.8 mM; reaction volume: 200 μl; T: 4–85 °C; and pH: 8.0 (50 mM Tris-HCl buffer). The hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl-propionate was used to determine, under these standard conditions, the effects of temperature on the purified esterase. Transaminase activity was determined using benzaldehyde as amine acceptor, 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-amine as amine donor, and pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor, by following the production of a colour amine at 600 nm (extinction coefficient, 537 M−1 cm−1), as previously described75. For determination, [total protein]: 5 μg ml−1; [substrates]: 25 mM; [pyridoxal phosphate]: 1 mM; reaction volume: 200 μL; T: 4-85 °C; and pH: 8.0 (50 mM Tris-HCl buffer). Aldo-keto reductase activity was determined using acetophenone as a substrate and NADPH as a cofactor, by following the consumption of NADPH at 340 nm (extinction coefficient, 6220 M−1 cm−1), as described76. For determination, [total protein]: 5 μg ml−1; [substrate]: 1 mM; [cofactor]: 1 mM; reaction volume: 200 μL; T: 4–85 °C; and pH: 8.0 (50 mM Tris-HCl buffer). We determined EXDO activity using catechol as substrate, by following the increase of absorbance at 375 nm of the ring fission products (extinction coefficient, 36000 M−1 cm−1), as previously described74. For determination, [protein]: 5 μg ml−1; [catechol]: 0.5 mM; reaction volume: 200 μL; T: 4–85 °C; and pH: 8.0 (50 mM Tris-HCl buffer). The hydrolysis of catechol was used to determine, under these standard conditions, the effects of temperature on the purified EXDOs. All measurements were performed in 96-well plates (ref. 655801, Greiner Bio-One GmbH, Kremsmünster, Austria), in biological triplicates over 180 min in a Synergy HT Multi-Mode Microplate Reader (Biotek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA) in continuous mode (measurements every 30 s) and determining the absorbance per minute from the slopes generated and applying the formula (1). All values were corrected for nonenzymatic transformation.$${Rate}left(frac{mu {mol}}{{{min }}{mg},{protein}}right)= frac{frac{triangle {{{{{rm{Abs}}}}}}}{{{min }}}}{{{{{{rm{varepsilon }}}}}},{{{{{rm{M}}}}}}-1{{{{{rm{cm}}}}}}-1}*frac{1}{0.4,{cm}}*frac{{10}^{6},mu M}{1{{{{{rm{M}}}}}}}\ *0.0002,L*frac{1}{{mg},{protein}}$$

Shotgun proteomicsProteomics was performed by using total active proteins (extracted as above), which were then subjected to protein precipitation, protein digestion and Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometric (LC-ESI-MS/MS) analysis, as previously described77. High-quality reference metagenomes corresponding to each sample (BioProject number in Supplementary Table S3) were used for protein calling, with a threshold of only one identified peptide per protein identification because False Discovery Rates (FDR) controlled experiments counter-intuitively suffer from the two-peptide rule. The confidence interval for protein identification was set to ≥95% (p  50 °C for which the second phase transition was chosen to focus on the decomposition of the core. It is important to note that applying CNA to MD simulations at room temperature may lead to an evening out of Tp values for esterases that transition around this temperature, i.e., systems with a Tp at or below room temperature might all be influenced similarly by loosening their bonding network. By contrast, systems with a transition temperature at or above room temperature would still be discriminated against. The data generated in this study for analyzing Tp values have been deposited at researchdata.hhu.de under accession code DOI: 10.25838/d5p-42101 [https://doi.org/10.25838/d5p-42].Relationship of temperature-induced changes in enzymeRelationship between MAT and enzyme response to temperature (i.e., Topt, Td and Tp) were evaluated by performing linear regression in R. In the case of enzymes retrieved from the Tara ocean dataset we calculated first the break point (flexus) using the package segmented in R102 and then we computed separately the linear model describing the two linear regressions before and after the breakpoint. To evaluate the possible relation between enzyme thermal response and other environmental parameters, salinity and pH data were retrieved from Bio-ORACLE52 using GPS coordinates of each location.Environmental characterization and sediment collection from different temperature variability levels in the Red SeaWe recorded the temperatures of surface sediments from March 2015 to September 2016 along the coast of the Red Sea using HOBO data loggers (Onset, USA) in nine stations located at 3, 25, and 50 m depth. Details on the location, depth and temperature fluctuations of the studied sediments are reported in Supplementary Table S4 and Source Data. We first assess the differences in the homogeneity of the temperature variance in the three types of sediments to evaluate the magnitude of thermal variation and then we test the difference among their MATs using a non-parametric ANOVA (Dunnett’s multiple comparisons tests). We identified three different levels of temperature variability (Fig. 3a–c; Supplementary Table S5): high, intermediate, and low thermal variability (HTV, ITV, and LTV, respectively), where sediments experienced temperature variations of 12.8 °C, 8.8 °C, and 6.7 °C, respectively. From each station, we sampled 200 g of surface sediment (0–5 cm depth) in triplicate in August and December 2015 with a Van der Venn grab (1 dm3) equipped with a MicroCat 250 Seabird CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth), which was assembled on board the research vessel R/V Explorer (KAUST). During sampling, we measured the temperature of the sediments and the water layer covering the sediments using a digital thermometer and the CTD, respectively. We conducted all sampling in compliance with the guidelines specified by KAUST and Saudi Arabian authorities.Sediment processing for analysis of bacterial communitiesFrom each sample (in triplicate), we immediately removed subsamples of sediment (n = 54, ~10 g) and stored them at –20 °C for molecular analysis. Separately, sediment 25 ± 1 g was transferred to 50 ml tubes and added 30 ml of filtered (0.2 µm) water from the Red Sea. The tubes were shaken at 500 rpm for one hour and then centrifuged them at 300 g for 15 min to detach the microbial cells in the sediments without affecting their vitality103,104. The supernatant containing the extracted cells was collected in sterile tubes and was immediately used to measure microbial growth rates.Evaluation of bacterial growth in sediments at different temperaturesWe evaluated the microbial growth rate of the heterotrophic community extracted from the sediments under HTV, ITV, and LTV at 10 °C, 20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C and 50 °C, using Marine Broth as the cultivation medium (Zobell Marine Broth 2216) supplemented with 0.1 g/L cycloheximide; a rich-medium was selected to avoid the nutrient limitation effect that can affect bacterial physiology63,105. We inoculated 96-well plates with 200 µl of cultivation medium and 25 µl of the cell suspension extracted from the sediments. We inoculated the three biological replicates from each station and each level of temperature variability in eight wells, giving a total of 72 wells for each plate, with 24 wells used as a negative control inoculated with water. We assembled a total of three plates for each incubation temperature from August and December. Plates were spectrophotometrically measured at 3 h intervals using an optical density of 600 nm (Spectramax® M5) for 72 h. Wells with optical density 90%) for further analysis (Supplementary Tables S9 and S10). We calculated the compositional similarity matrix (Bray-Curtis of the log-transformed OTU table) with Primer 6109. Using the same software, canonical analysis of principal coordinates (CAP)110 was used to compare the temperature variability samples (temperature variability levels: HTV, ITV, and LTV; season levels: August and December) based on the compositional similarity matrix. We applied permutational multivariate analyses of variance to the matrix (PERMANOVA; main and multiple comparison tests). We tested the occurrence of thermal-decay patterns in sediments with different temperature variability levels using linear regression (Prism 9.2 software, La Jolla California USA, www.graphpad.com) between the bacterial community similarities (Bray-Curtis) and the temperature differences among sediments (∆T°C) at the time of sampling. We calculated alphadiversity indices (richness and evenness) using the paleontological statistics (PAST) software, and their correlation with temperature was modelled using linear regression in Prism 9.2. Spearman correlation among temperature and relative abundance of OTUs within each sediment sample was evaluated; OTUs were classified based on their positive (enriched) and negative (depleted) correlation with sediment temperature.Reporting summaryFurther information on research design is available in the Nature Portfolio Reporting Summary linked to this article.
