The role of conserved Asp-199 in chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) has been investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Substitution of Asp-199 by alanine results in a thermolabile mutant enzyme (Ala-199 CAT) with reduced kcat(13-fold) but similar Km values to wild type CAT. Replacement by asparagine gives rise to a thermostable mutant enzyme (Asn-199 CAT) with much reduced kcat(1500-fold). Furthermore, Asn-199 CAT shows anomalous inactivation kinetics with the affinity reagent 3-(bromo-acetyl)chloramphenicol. These results favor a structural role for Asp-199 rather than a catalytic one, in keeping with crystallographic evidence for involvement of Asp-199 in a tight salt bridge with Arg-18. Replacement of Arg-18 by valine results in a mutant enzyme (Val-18 CAT) with similar properties to Ala-199 CAT. The catalytic imidazole of His-19 appears to be conformationally constrained by hydrogen bonding between N1-H and the carbonyl oxygen of the same residue and by ring stacking with Tyr-25.  相似文献

The singnificance of the zinc hydroxide–Thr-199–Glu-106 hydrogen-bond network in the active site of human carbonic anhydrase II has been examined by X-ray crystallographic analyses of site-specific mutants. Mutants with Ala-199 and Ala-106 or Gln-106 have low catalytic activities, while a mutant with Asp-106 has almost full CO2 hydration activity. The structures of these four mutants, as well as that of the bicarbonate complex of the mutant with Ala-199, have been determined at 1.7 to 2.2 Å resolution. Removal of the γ atoms of residue 199 leads to distorted tetrahedral geometry at the zine ion, and a catalytically important zinc-bound water molecule has moved towards Glu-106. In the bicarbonate complex of the mutant with Ala-199 one oxygen atom from bicarbonate binds to zinc without displacing this water molecule. Tetrahedral coordination geometries are retained in the mutants at position 106. The mutants with Ala-106 and Gln-106 have a zinc-bound sulfate ion, whereas this sulfate site is only partially occupied in the mutant with Asp-106. The hydrogen-bond network seems to be “reversed” in the mutants with Ala-106 and Gln-106. The network is preserved as in native enzyme in the mutant with Asp-106 but the side chain of Asp-106 is more extended than that of Glu-106 in the native enzyme. These results illustrate the importance of Glu-106 and Thr-199 for controlling the precise coordination geometry of the zinc ion and its ligand preferences with results in an optimal orientation of a zine-bound hydroxide ion for an attack on the CO2 substrate. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

α-Glucans produced by glucansucrase enzymes hold strong potential for industrial applications. The exact determinants of the linkage specificity of glucansucrase enzymes have remained largely unknown, even with the recent elucidation of glucansucrase crystal structures. Guided by the crystal structure of glucansucrase GTF180-ΔN from Lactobacillus reuteri 180 in complex with the acceptor substrate maltose, we identified several residues (Asp-1028 and Asn-1029 from domain A, as well as Leu-938, Ala-978, and Leu-981 from domain B) near subsite +1 that may be critical for linkage specificity determination, and we investigated these by random site-directed mutagenesis. First, mutants of Ala-978 (to Leu, Pro, Phe, or Tyr) and Asp-1028 (to Tyr or Trp) with larger side chains showed reduced degrees of branching, likely due to the steric hindrance by these bulky residues. Second, Leu-938 mutants (except L938F) and Asp-1028 mutants showed altered linkage specificity, mostly with increased (α1→6) linkage synthesis. Third, mutation of Leu-981 and Asn-1029 significantly affected the transglycosylation reaction, indicating their essential roles in acceptor substrate binding. In conclusion, glucansucrase product specificity is determined by an interplay of domain A and B residues surrounding the acceptor substrate binding groove. Residues surrounding the +1 subsite thus are critical for activity and specificity of the GTF180 enzyme and play different roles in the enzyme functions. This study provides novel insights into the structure-function relationships of glucansucrase enzymes and clearly shows the potential of enzyme engineering to produce tailor-made α-glucans.  相似文献

The herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 TK) is the major anti-herpes virus pharmacological target, and it is being utilized in combination with the prodrug ganciclovir as a toxin gene therapeutic for cancer. One active-site amino acid, glutamine-125 (Gln-125), has been shown to form hydrogen bonds with bound thymidine, thymidylate, and ganciclovir in multiple X-ray crystal structures. To examine the role of Gln-125 in HSV-1 TK activity, three site-specific mutations of this residue to an aspartic acid, an asparagine, or a glutamic acid were introduced. These three mutants and wild-type HSV-1 TK were expressed in E. coli and partially purified and their enzymatic properties compared. In comparison to the Gln-125 HSV-1 TK, thymidylate kinase activity of all three mutants was decreased by over 90%. For thymidine kinase activity relative to Gln-125 enzyme, the K(m) of thymidine increased from 0.9 microM for the parent Gln-125 enzyme to 3 microM for the Glu-125 mutant, to 6000 microM for the Asp-125 mutant, and to 20 microM for the Asn-125 mutant. In contrast, the K(m) of ganciclovir decreased from 69 microM for the parent Gln-125 enzyme to 50 microM for the Asn-125 mutant and increased to 473 microM for the Glu-125 mutant. The Asp-125 enzyme was able to poorly phosphorylate ganciclovir, but with nonlinear kinetics. Molecular simulations of the wild-type and mutant HSV-1 TK active sites predict that the observed activities are due to loss of hydrogen bonding between thymidine and the mutant amino acids, while the potential for hydrogen bonding remains intact for ganciclovir binding. When expressed in two mammalian cell lines, the Glu-125 mutant led to GCV-mediated killing of one cell line, while the Asn-125 mutant was equally as effective as wild-type HSV-1 TK in metabolizing GCV and causing cell death in both cell lines.  相似文献

N-Methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG) initiates base excision repair in DNA by removing a variety of alkylated purine adducts. Although Asp was identified as the active site residue in various DNA glycosylases based on the crystal structure, Glu-125 in human MPG (Glu-145 in mouse MPG) was recently proposed to be the catalytic residue. Mutational analysis for all Asp residues in a truncated, fully active MPG protein showed that only Asp-152 (Asp-132 in the human protein), which is located near the active site, is essential for catalytic activity. However, the substrate binding was not affected in the inactive Glu-152, Asn-152, and Ala-152 mutants. Furthermore, mutation of Asp-152 did not significantly affect the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of the enzyme and the far UV CD spectra, although a small change in the near UV CD spectra of the mutants suggests localized conformational change in the aromatic residues. We propose that in addition to Glu-145 in mouse MPG, which functions as the activator of a water molecule for nucleophilic attack, Asp-152 plays an essential role either by donating a proton to the substrate base and, thus, facilitating its release or by stabilizing the steric configuration of the active site pocket.  相似文献

Residues Asp-78 and Gln-173 of the tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase of Bacillus stearothermophilus form part of the binding site for tyrosine by making hydrogen bonds with the alpha-ammonium group. Asp-38 is close enough to the group to make an important electrostatic contribution. Unlike other residues in the active site that have been studied by site-directed mutagenesis, Asp-38, Asp-78, and Gln-173 are part of hydrogen-bonded networks. Each of these residues has been mutated to an alanine, and the resultant mutants have been studied by kinetics to construct the difference energy diagrams for the formation of tyrosyl adenylate. In each example, the binding of tyrosine is weakened by about 2.5 kcal mol-1. But, unlike previous mutants, the dissociation of the second substrate, in this case ATP, is also seriously affected, being weakened by some 2 kcal mol-1 for TyrTS(Ala-78) and TyrTS(Ala-173). The energy of the transition state for the formation of tyrosyl adenylate is raised by 7.8 kcal mol-1 for the former and 4.5 kcal mol-1 for the latter mutant. Addition of these mutants to linear free energy plots constructed for the nondisruptive mutants in the accompanying study [Fersht, A. R., Leatherbarrow, R. J., & Wells, T. N. C. (1987) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)] reveals large deviations of the data for TyrTS(Ala-38) and TyrTS(Ala-78) from the regression line. These thus belong to a different class of mutations from previous nondisruptive examples. This observation combined with the structural evidence and difference energy diagrams strongly suggests that the mutations Asp----Ala-38 and Asp----Ala-78 are disruptive in nature.  相似文献

We aimed at understanding molecular events involved in the activation of a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, the thyrotropin receptor. We have focused on the transmembrane region and in particular on a network of polar interactions between highly conserved residues. Using molecular dynamics simulations and site-directed mutagenesis techniques we have identified residue Asn-7.49, of the NPxxY motif of TM 7, as a molecular switch in the mechanism of thyrotropin receptor (TSHr) activation. Asn-7.49 appears to adopt two different conformations in the inactive and active states. These two states are characterized by specific interactions between this Asn and polar residues in the transmembrane domain. The inactive gauche+ conformation is maintained by interactions with residues Thr-6.43 and Asp-6.44. Mutation of these residues into Ala increases the constitutive activity of the receptor by factors of approximately 14 and approximately 10 relative to wild type TSHr, respectively. Upon receptor activation Asn-7.49 adopts the trans conformation to interact with Asp-2.50 and a putatively charged residue that remains to be identified. In addition, the conserved Leu-2.46 of the (N/S)LxxxD motif also plays a significant role in restraining the receptor in the inactive state because the L2.46A mutation increases constitutive activity by a factor of approximately 13 relative to wild type TSHr. As residues Leu-2.46, Asp-2.50, and Asn-7.49 are strongly conserved, this molecular mechanism of TSHr activation can be extended to other members of the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors.  相似文献

The major soluble avian eye lens protein, delta crystallin, is highly homologous to the housekeeping enzyme argininosuccinate lyase (ASL). ASL is part of the urea and arginine-citrulline cycles and catalyzes the reversible breakdown of argininosuccinate to arginine and fumarate. In duck lenses, there are two delta crystallin isoforms that are 94% identical in amino acid sequence. Only the delta2 isoform has maintained ASL activity and has been used to investigate the enzymatic mechanism of ASL. The role of the active site residues Ser-29, Asp-33, Asp-89, Asn-116, Thr-161, His-162, Arg-238, Thr-281, Ser-283, Asn-291, Asp-293, Glu-296, Lys-325, Asp-330, and Lys-331 have been investigated by site-directed mutagenesis, and the structure of the inactive duck delta2 crystallin (ddeltac2) mutant S283A with bound argininosuccinate was determined at 1.96 A resolution. The S283A mutation does not interfere with substrate binding, because the 280's loop (residues 270-290) is in the open conformation and Ala-283 is more than 7 A from the substrate. The substrate is bound in a different conformation to that observed previously indicating a large degree of conformational flexibility in the fumarate moiety when the 280's loop is in the open conformation. The structure of the S283A ddeltac2 mutant and mutagenesis results reveal that a complex network of interactions of both protein residues and water molecules are involved in substrate binding and specificity. Small changes even to residues not involved directly in anchoring the argininosuccinate have a significant effect on catalysis. The results suggest that either His-162 or Thr-161 are responsible for proton abstraction and reinforce the putative role of Ser-283 as the catalytic acid, although we cannot eliminate the possibility that arginine is released in an uncharged form, with the solvent providing the required proton. A detailed enzymatic mechanism of ASL/ddeltac2 is presented.  相似文献

A structure-function study of the protein kinase C (PK-C) pseudosubstrate sequence (R19FARK-GALRQKNV31) has been undertaken. The role of specific residues was investigated using an alanine substitution scan. Arg-22 was the most important determinant in the inhibitor sequence, since substitution of this residue by alanine gave a 600-fold increase in the IC50 value to 81 +/- 9 microM. Substitutions of other basic residue also increased the IC50, 5-, 11- and 24-fold for the Ala-19, Ala-23 and Ala-27 substitutions, respectively. The importance of basic residues in determining the potency of the pseudosubstrate peptide reflects the requirements for these residues in peptide substrate phosphorylation. The residues Gly-24, Leu-26 and Gln-28 were also important for pseudosubstrate inhibitor potency. The large difference in the IC50 value for the [A22]PK-C(19-31) peptide makes it a valuable control in studies employing the pseudosubstrate peptide to explore functional roles of PK-C.  相似文献

To probe the role of the Asp-99 ... His-48 pair in phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalysis, the X-ray structure and kinetic characterization of the mutant Asp-99-->Asn-99 (D99N) of bovine pancreatic PLA2 was undertaken. Crystals of D99N belong to the trigonal space group P3(1)21 and were isomorphous to the wild type (WT) (Noel JP et al., 1991, Biochemistry 30:11801-11811). The 1.9-A X-ray structure of the mutant showed that the carbonyl group of Asn-99 side chain is hydrogen bonded to His-48 in the same way as that of Asp-99 in the WT, thus retaining the tautomeric form of His-48 and the function of the enzyme. The NH2 group of Asn-99 points away from His-48. In contrast, in the D102N mutant of the protease enzyme trypsin, the NH2 group of Asn-102 is hydrogen bonded to His-57 resulting in the inactive tautomeric form and hence the loss of enzymatic activity. Although the geometry of the catalytic triad in the PLA2 mutant remains the same as in the WT, we were surprised that the conserved structural water, linking the catalytic site with the ammonium group of Ala-1 of the interfacial site, was ejected by the proximity of the NH2 group of Asn-99. The NH2 group now forms a direct hydrogen bond with the carbonyl group of Ala-1.  相似文献

A docking model of the alpha(2) I-domain and collagen has been proposed based on their crystal structures (Emsley, J., King, S., Bergelson, J., and Liddington, R. C. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 28512-28517). In this model, several amino acid residues in the I-domain make direct contact with collagen (Asn-154, Asp-219, Leu-220, Glu-256, His-258, Tyr-285, Asn-289, Leu-291, Asn-295, and Lys-298), and the protruding C-helix of alpha(2) (residues 284-288) determines ligand specificity. Because most of the proposed critical residues are not conserved, different I-domains are predicted to bind to collagen differently. We found that deleting the entire C-helix or mutating the predicted critical residues had no effect on collagen binding to whole alpha(2)beta(1), with the exception that mutating Asn-154, Asp-219, and His-258 had a moderate effect. We performed further studies and found that mutating the conserved surface-exposed residues in the metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) (Tyr-157 and Gln-215) significantly blocks collagen binding. We have revised the docking model based on the mutagenesis data. In the revised model, conserved Tyr-157 makes contact with collagen in addition to the previously proposed Asn-154, Asp-219, His-258, and Tyr-285 residues. These results suggest that the collagen-binding I-domains (e.g. alpha(1), alpha(2), and alpha(10)) bind to collagen in a similar fashion.  相似文献

Colicin E1 was altered by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis at the site of three charged residues on the COOH side of the 35-residue hydrophobic segment in the channel-forming domain. Asp-509 is one of five conserved acidic residues in the channel domain of colicins A, B, E1, Ia, and Ib and is the first charged residue following the hydrophobic segment, followed by the basic residues Lys-510 and Lys-512. Asp-509 and Lys-512 were changed to amber and ochre stop codons, respectively, while Lys-510 was mutated to a Met codon. Proteins truncated after residue 508 or 511, and missing the last 14 or 11 residues, were obtained from a nonsuppressing cell strain harboring the mutant plasmid while full-length colicin molecules with single residue changes at Asp-509 to Leu, Ser, and Gln, and Lys-512 to Tyr, were obtained by using appropriate suppressor strains. The truncated colicins displayed (i) a low cytotoxicity, approximately 1% of intact wild-type colicin, (ii) 10-fold less in vitro channel activity with liposomes, and (iii) reduced labeling of the colicin in liposomes by a phospholipid photoaffinity probe, showing that one or more of the residues following Asn-511 is necessary for both in vivo and in vitro activity and insertion into the bilayer. (iv) The truncated mutants also displayed an altered conformation at pH 6 that allowed greater binding and activity with liposomes at this pH relative to wild type. The cytotoxicity of single residue substitutions at Asp-509 showed a range of cytotoxicities, wild type greater than Ser-509 greater than Gln-509 greater than Leu-509, although none of these changes greatly affected the in vitro channel activity or pH dependence.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Choline kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of choline by ATP, the first committed step in the CDP-choline pathway for phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. To begin to elucidate the mechanism of catalysis by this enzyme, choline kinase A-2 from Caenorhabditis elegans was analyzed by systematic mutagenesis of highly conserved residues followed by analysis of kinetic and structural parameters. Specifically, mutants were analyzed with respect to K(m) and k(cat) values for each substrate and Mg(2+), inhibitory constants for Mg(2+) and Ca(2+), secondary structure as monitored by circular dichroism, and sensitivity to unfolding in guanidinium hydrochloride. The most severe impairment of catalysis occurred with the modification of Asp-255 and Asn-260, which are located in the conserved Brenner's phosphotransferase motif, and Asp-301 and Glu-303, in the signature choline kinase motif. For example, mutation of Asp-255 or Asp-301 to Ala eliminated detectable catalytic activity, and mutation of Asn-260 and Glu-303 to Ala decreased k(cat) by 300- and 10-fold, respectively. Additionally, the K(m) for Mg(2+) for mutants N260A and E303A was approximately 30-fold higher than that of wild type. Several other residues (Ser-86, Arg-111, Glu-125, and Trp-387) were identified as being important: Catalytic efficiencies (k(cat)/K(m)) for the enzymes in which these residues were mutated to Ala were reduced to 2-25% of wild type. The high degree of structural similarity among choline kinase A-2, aminoglycoside phosphotransferases, and protein kinases, together with the results from this mutational analysis, indicates it is likely that these conserved residues are located at the catalytic core of choline kinase.  相似文献

DC-SIGN is a C-type lectin that binds to endogenous adhesion molecules ICAM-2 and ICAM-3 as well as the viral envelope glycoprotein human immunodeficiency virus, type 1, glycoprotein (gp) 120. We wished to determine whether DC-SIGN binds differently to its endogenous ligands ICAM-2 and ICAM-3 versus HIV-1 gp120. We found that recombinant soluble DC-SIGN bound to gp120-Fc more than 100- and 50-fold better than ICAM-2-Fc and ICAM-3-Fc, respectively. This relative difference was maintained using DC-SIGN expressed on three different CD4-negative cell lines. Although the cell surface affinity for gp120 varied by up to 4-fold on the cell lines examined, the affinity for gp120 was not a correlate of the ability of the cell line to transfer virus. Monosaccharides with equatorial 4-OH groups competed as well as D-mannose for gp120 binding to DC-SIGN, regardless of how the other hydroxyl groups were positioned. Disaccharide competitors and glycan chip analysis showed that DC-SIGN has a preference for oligosaccharides linked in an alpha-anomeric configuration. Alanine-scanning mutagenesis of DC-SIGN revealed that highly conserved residues that coordinate calcium (Asp-366) and/or are involved in both calcium and specific carbohydrate interactions (Glu-347, Asn-349, Glu-354, and Asp-355) significantly compromised binding to all three ligands. Mutating non-conserved residues (Asn-311, Arg-345, Val-351, Gly-352, Glu-353, Ser-360, Gly-361, and Asn-362) minimally affected binding except for the Asp-367 mutant, which enhanced gp120 binding but diminished ICAM-2 and ICAM-3 binding. Conversely, mutating the moderately conserved residue (Gly-346) abrogated gp120 binding but enhanced ICAM-2 and ICAM-3 binding. Thus, DC-SIGN appears to bind in a distinct but overlapping manner to gp120 when compared with ICAM-2 and ICAM-3.  相似文献

Transporters of the major excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate play a crucial role in glutamatergic neurotransmission by removing their substrate from the synaptic cleft. The transport mechanism involves co-transport of glutamic acid with three Na(+) ions followed by countertransport of one K(+) ion. Structural work on the archeal homologue Glt(Ph) indicates a role of a conserved asparagine in substrate binding. According to a recent proposal, this residue may also participate in a novel Na(+) binding site. In this study, we characterize mutants of this residue from the neuronal transporter EAAC1, Asn-451. None of the mutants, except for N451S, were able to exhibit transport. However, the K(m) of this mutant for l-aspartate was increased ~30-fold. Remarkably, the increase for d-aspartate and l-glutamate was 250- and 400-fold, respectively. Moreover, the cation specificity of N451S was altered because sodium but not lithium could support transport. A similar change in cation specificity was observed with a mutant of a conserved threonine residue, T370S, also implicated to participate in the novel Na(+) site together with the bound substrate. In further contrast to the wild type transporter, only l-aspartate was able to activate the uncoupled anion conductance by N451S, but with an almost 1000-fold reduction in apparent affinity. Our results not only provide experimental support for the Na(+) site but also suggest a distinct orientation of the substrate in the binding pocket during the activation of the anion conductance.  相似文献

Alanine at residue 73 (Ala-73) and aspartate at residue 9 (Asp-9) are characteristic to both Cw6 and Cw7 alleles of HLA-C gene and have been suggested as possible markers for psoriasis vulgaris (PsV). However, the results from various ethnic groups/populations are contradictory and inconclusive. In this study, an attempt has been made to examine the association between HLA-C (Ala-73 and Asp-9) and susceptibility to PsV among Saudi patients. Genomic DNA was extracted from 25 Saudi PsV patients and 75 control subjects. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to amplify HLA-C sequences using earlier reported primers, C133P and C243PR. Sequence-specific primers were used to specifically detect nucleotide coding for Ala-73 and Asp-9 in all the subjects. The results showed significantly higher frequency of Asp-9 (84.0 % versus 61.3 %) in PsV patients as compared to controls (p < 0.05, 2-tailed Fisher's exact test). The frequencies of Ala-73 among PsV patients (92 %) and controls (88 %) did not differ significantly.  相似文献

The precursor predicted by the nucleotide sequence of the MF alpha 2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains one copy of the tridecapeptide alpha-factor previously characterized (H2N-Trp-His-Trp-Leu-Gln-Leu-Lys-Pro-Gly-Gln-Pro-Met-Tyr-COOH) and one copy of a peptide that contains two conservative amino acid substitutions (H2N-Trp-His-Trp-Leu-Asn-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-Gln-Pro-Met-Tyr-COOH). To determine whether the novel molecule possesses biological activity, the Asn-5,Arg-7 tridecapeptide was prepared chemically by solid-phase peptide synthesis. Growth arrest and morphogenesis assays gave identical activity profiles for the Asn-5,Arg-7 peptide and the other gene product, the Gln-5,Lys-7 peptide. The activities of the two peptides were additive and indistinguishable for S. cerevisiae X2180-1A. When present in fourfold molar excess, the biologically inactive desTrp-1,Ala-3 dodecapeptide reversed activity of the Asn-5,Arg-7 and Gln-5,Lys-7 tridecapeptides. Furthermore, neither peptide caused growth arrest of a MATa ste2(Ts) mutant when assayed at the restrictive temperature. These studies suggest that both pheromones interact with the alpha-factor receptor in a similar manner.  相似文献

The mitochondrial citrate transport protein (CTP) has been investigated by replacing 22 consecutive residues within transmembrane domain IV, one at a time, with cysteine. A cysteine-less CTP retaining wild-type functional properties served as the starting template. The single Cys CTP variants were overexpressed in Escherichia coli, isolated, and functionally reconstituted in a liposomal system. The accessibility of each single Cys mutant to three methanethiosulfonate reagents was evaluated by determining the pseudo first order rate constants for inhibition of CTP function. These rate constants varied by seven orders of magnitude. With three independent data sets we observed peaks and troughs in the rate constant data at identical amino acid positions and a periodicity of four was observed from residues 177-193. Based on the pattern of accessibility we conclude that residues 177-193 exist as an alpha-helix. Furthermore, a water-accessible face of the helix has been defined consisting of Pro-177, Val-178, Arg-181, Gln-182, Asn-185, Gln-186, Arg-189, Leu-190, and Tyr-193, and a water-inaccessible face has been delineated consisting of Ser-179, Met-180, Ala-183, Ala-184, Ala-187, Val-188, Gly-191, and Ser-192. We infer that the water-accessible face comprises a portion of the substrate translocation pathway through the CTP, whereas the water-inaccessible surface faces the lipid bilayer.  相似文献

A full-length cDNA clone encoding bovine pancreatic preprocarboxypeptidase A was isolated and sequenced. The 1405-base pair insert contains a 26-nucleotide 5'-noncoding region, a 1260-nucleotide open reading frame and a 76-nucleotide 3'-noncoding fragment plus a poly(A) tail of at least 43 nucleotides. The open reading frame encodes a protein of 419 amino acids, including the 16 amino acid signal peptide. The mature enzyme (309 residues) has two additional C-terminal amino acids, as compared with the amino acid sequence of the protein which was reported more than 20 years ago. In addition, four residues deduced from the nucleotide sequence differed from those identified in the reported amino acid sequence from their net charge: Asp-89, Asp-114, Gln-122, and Asp-185 instead of Asn-89, Asn-114, Glu-122, and Asn-185, respectively. A high degree of identity exists between the nucleotide sequences (81.3%), on the one hand, and the amino acid sequences (78.3%), on the other hand, of bovine preprocarboxypeptidase A and rat preprocarboxypeptidase A1.  相似文献
