additional information |
mutation of His123, His251, Glu154 and Glu255 (conserved zinc binding residues) results in variants that were either poorly expressed, or of much reduced activity. Mutation of Tyr115 and His203, thought to bind the phenol groups in the 1-and 3-positions of the phloroglucinol ring respectively, results in variants of 15-fold reduced activity and an inactive variant |
