Site-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...
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 کاملExtensive site-directed mutagenesis reveals interconnected functional units in the alkaline phosphatase active site
Enzymes enable life by accelerating reaction rates to biological timescales. Conventional studies have focused on identifying the residues that have a direct involvement in an enzymatic reaction, but these so-called 'catalytic residues' are embedded in extensive interaction networks. Although fundamental to our understanding of enzyme function, evolution, and engineering, the properties of thes...
متن کاملMolecular modelling and site-directed mutagenesis of the active site of endothelin-converting enzyme.
Mammalian endothelin-converting enzyme is a membrane-bound metalloprotease; its C-terminal domain contains sequence motifs characteristic of zinc metalloproteases. We examined residues expected from molecular modelling to be important for substrate binding using selectively mutated recombinant rat ECE-1alpha expressed in CHO cells. A conserved N-A-Ar-Ar (Ar = aromatic) motif is likely to be imp...
متن کاملHeterologous expression of human prostatic acid phosphatase and site-directed mutagenesis of the enzyme active site.
Earlier covalent modification experiments indicated that histidine, arginine, and carboxylic acid residues were involved in the catalytic mechanism of the acid phosphatase enzyme from human prostate. The present study utilizes site-directed mutagenesis to evaluate the catalytic importance of 7 residues of human prostatic phosphatase, namely His12, His257, Asp258, Arg11, Arg15, Arg54, and Arg79,...
