overexpressed in Escherichia coli Thermotoga maritima

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
C559A/C561A no detectable zinc is bound to the mutant enzyme and its fluorescence properties are modified, suggesting a change of conformation in the protein lacking zinc. GThe mutant enzyme exhibits an activity similar to that of the wild-type enzyme with the same optimal temperature for activity. Thermostability is not affected by the mutation. Decatenase activity of wild type and C559A/C561A mutant enzymes shows no significant difference. Cleavage positions obtained with the C559A/C561A mutant is similar to those observed with the wild type enzyme. Preference for cytosine at position -4 is retained, and cleavage intensities are comparable Thermotoga maritima
