Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli Homo sapiens

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
C303A inactive Homo sapiens
D152A pro-caspase mutant, like the wild-type, this mutant is efficiently processed between the large and the small subunit, however, it is not further processed to seperate the prodomain from the large subunit Homo sapiens
D316A fusion of the linker to the large subunit, toxic when expressed in yeast Homo sapiens
D316A/D330A abolishes auto-processing and reduces enzymatic activity dramatically, 840fold decrease in activity Homo sapiens
D330A fusion of the linker to the small subunit, slightly greater deleterious effect on enzyme activity than fusion to the large subunit (D316A), toxic when expressed in yeast Homo sapiens
