Site-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 ...
متن کاملIdentification 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 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 کاملRole of lysine 758 of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I as assessed by site-directed mutagenesis.
Lys-758 of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I has been implicated in the process of substrate dNTP binding (Basu, A., and Modak, M. J. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 1704-1709). To confirm and define the role of Lys-758 in the catalytic mechanism, we carried out site-directed mutagenesis of this residue. Catalytic activity of the purified mutant enzymes, K758A and K758R, showed severe reduction in the ...
