A putative glutathione-binding site in T4 glutaredoxin investigated by site-directed mutagenesis.
A glutathione monomer has been docked into the active site cleft of T4 glutaredoxin (previously called T4 thioredoxin) using molecular graphics. The central part of the cleft is formed by the side chain of Tyr-16 on one side and the residues Thr-64, Met-65, and Pro-66 on the other. The entire glutathione molecule fits well into the cleft. A cis-peptide bond between the residues Met-65 and Pro-6...
متن کاملUltrafast solvation dynamics at internal site of staphylococcal nuclease investigated by site-directed mutagenesis
Solvation is essential for protein activities. To study internal solvation of protein, site-directed mutagenesis is applied. Intrinsic fluorescent probe, tryptophan, is inserted into desired position inside protein molecule for ultrafast spectroscopic study. Here we review this unique method for protein dynamics researches. We introduce the frontiers of protein solvation, site-directed mutagene...
متن کاملConstruction of a recombinant vector for site-directed mutagenesis in Salmonella typhimurium
BACKGROUND: Among all common techniques in sitedirectedmutagenesis, λ Red recombinase system has beenwidely used to knock out chromosomal genes in bacteria. In thismethod, there is always the risk of DNA Linear digestion byhost's restriction enzymes that leads to the low frequency ofrecombination. OBJECTIVES:To overcome this, we constructeda recombinant vector to disrupt phoP gene in Salmonella...
متن کاملCharacterization of the thyroxine-binding site of thyroxine-binding globulin by site-directed mutagenesis.
The principal transport protein for T4 in human blood, thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), binds T4 with an exceptionally high affinity (Ka = 10(10) M(-1)). Its homology to the superfamily of the serpins has recently been used in the design of chimeric proteins, providing experimental evidence that an eight-stranded beta-barrel domain encompasses the ligand-binding site. We have now characterized...
متن کاملSite-Directed Mutagenesis Study
Structural elements of the rat 1.t-opioid receptor important in ligand receptor binding and selectivity were examined using a site-directed mutagenesis approach. Five single amino acid mutations were made, three that altered conserved residues in the ~ 8, and K receptors (Asn 15°t Ala, His297 to Ala, and Tyr326 to Phe) and wo de igned to test for ~i/8 selectivity (lie198 to Val and Va1202 to li...
