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 کاملSite-Directed Mutagenesis, Expression and Biological Activity of E. coli 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate 3-Phosphate Synthase Gene
Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) as a powerful technique was used to change two important and conserved amino acids in 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3- phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene of E. coli. The mutations changed glycine 96 to alanine and alanine 183 to threonine. These two amino acids are very important for intraction of the wide spectrum herbicide, glyphosate, to EPSP synthase enzymes. By design...
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 کامل1.68-A crystal structure of endopolygalacturonase II from Aspergillus niger and identification of active site residues by site-directed mutagenesis.
Polygalacturonases specifically hydrolyze polygalacturonate, a major constituent of plant cell wall pectin. To understand the catalytic mechanism and substrate and product specificity of these enzymes, we have solved the x-ray structure of endopolygalacturonase II of Aspergillus niger and we have carried out site-directed mutagenesis studies. The enzyme folds into a right-handed parallel beta-h...
متن کاملIdentification of active site residues by site-directed mutagenesis of delta 5-3-ketosteroid isomerase from Pseudomonas putida biotype B.
In order to assess the roles of specific amino acid residues in the delta 5-3-ketosteroid isomerase from Pseudomonas putida biotype B during catalysis, we replaced aspartic acid 40 with asparagine (D40N) and tyrosine 16 with phenylalanine (Y16F) in the enzyme by site-directed mutagenesis. Both purified mutant enzymes resulted in profound decreases in catalytic activities, 10(3.3)-fold in the Y1...
