Cloned(Commentary)

EC Number Cloned (Comment) Organism
1.7.1.3 sequence comparisons, recombinant enzyme expression of wild-type and mutant enzymes in Escherichia coli strains TP1000, RK5206, and RK5204 Neurospora crassa

Protein Variants

EC Number Protein Variants Comment Organism
1.7.1.3 G811V site-directed mutagenesis, an FAD-binding mutant Neurospora crassa
1.7.1.3 H654A/H677A site-directed mutagenesis, CD spectroscopy shows no negative effects of the introduced mutations on protein secondary structure in comparison to the wild-type protein, but the mutant contains no heme, while the FAD binding ability is not significantly disturbed Neurospora crassa
1.7.1.3 R778E site-directed mutagenesis, an FAD-binding mutant. The mutant binds essentially the same amount of Moco as does the wild type protein Neurospora crassa
1.7.1.3 Y780A site-directed mutagenesis, an FAD-binding mutant Neurospora crassa

1.7.1.3 additional information NADPH-dependent cytochrome c reducing activity by the holo-enzyme is determined with FAD and NADPH spectroscopically at 550 nm and 340 nm. Apo-nitrate reductase has a marginally lower, about 10% reduced cytochrome c reducing activity, which correlates to its 15% reduced heme content Neurospora crassa ?
