Identification of active site residues of Escherichia coli fumarate reductase by site-directed mutagenesis.
Menaquinol-fumarate oxidoreductase of Escherichia coli is a four-subunit membrane-bound complex that catalyzes the final step in anaerobic respiration when fumarate is the terminal electron acceptor. The enzyme is structurally and catalytically similar to succinate dehydrogenase (succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) from both procaryotes and eucaryotes. Both enzymes have been proposed to contai...
متن کاملIdentification of the amino acid residues involved in an active site of Escherichia coli ribonuclease H by site-directed mutagenesis.
The amino acid residues essential for the catalytic activity of ribonuclease H (RNase H) from Escherichia coli (E. coli) were identified by site-directed mutagenesis. It has been proposed by computer analysis that E. coli RNase H has homologous amino acid sequence with the RNase H domains of various retroviral reverse transcriptases (RTs) (Johnson, M. S., McClure, M. A., Feng, D. F., Gray, J., ...
متن کاملSite-directed mutagenesis of proposed active-site residues of penicillin-binding protein 5 from Escherichia coli.
Alignment of the amino acid sequence of penicillin-binding protein 5 (PBP5) with the sequences of other members of the family of active-site-serine penicillin-interacting enzymes predicted the residues playing a role in the catalytic mechanism of PBP5. Apart from the active-site (Ser44), Lys47, Ser110-Gly-Asn, Asp175 and Lys213-Thr-Gly were identified as the residues making up the conserved box...
متن کاملSite-Directed Mutagenesis in Human Granulocyte-colony Stimulating Factor, Cloning and Expression in Escherichia coli
Human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) induces proliferation and differentiation of granulocyte progenitor cells. This glycoprotein is currently being used for treatment of neutropenia, in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplantation. So far, different researchers have tried to enhance hG-CSF biological activity and stability. In this study, Polymerase Chain Reaction (P...
متن کاملThe active site of Escherichia coli UDP-N-acetylglucosamine acyltransferase. Chemical modification and site-directed mutagenesis.
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) acyltransferase (LpxA) catalyzes the reversible transfer of an R-3-hydroxyacyl chain from R-3-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein to the glucosamine 3-OH of UDP-GlcNAc in the first step of lipid A biosynthesis. Lipid A is required for the growth and virulence of most Gram-negative bacteria, making its biosynthetic enzymes intriguing targets for the development ...
