Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information chimeric proteins that contain the aspartate-rich sequences of the pea enzyme or the enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in place of the naturally occuring cysteine-rich sequence of the human enzyme. The chimeric enzymes are substantially activated by both magnesium and potassium, but not by zinc. The specific activities of the chimeras are significantly lower than the specific activity of the wild-type enzyme Homo sapiens
R221K mutation in wild-type or chimeric enzymes reduces activity Homo sapiens

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Mg2+ chimeric proteins are constructed that contain the aspartate-rich sequences of the pea enzyme or the enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in place of the naturally occuring cysteine-rich sequence of the human enzyme. The chimeric enzymes are substantially activated by both magnesium and potassium, but not by zinc Homo sapiens
Zn2+ the cysteines of the metal switch sequence of the wild-type enzyme bind a catalytic zinc. Chimeric proteins are constructed that contain the aspartate-rich sequences of the pea enzyme or the enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in place of the naturally occuring cysteine-rich sequence of the human enzyme. The chimeric enzymes are substantially activated by both magnesium and potassium, but not by zinc. Homo sapiens
