The mutant enzyme is poorly secreted when overexpressed 730718 3.1.1.53 additional information construction of recombinant MHV-A59 derivatives in which the autologous genes for hemagglutinin-esterase and sialidase are replaced by those of MHV-S or MHV-DVIM by targeted RNA recombination. The mutants do not express functional hemagglutinin-esterase, in MHV-A59, the hemagglutinin-esterase gene is interrupted by a nonsense mutation at codon 15 and that consequently MHV-A59 and derivates rMHV-A59-SDVIM and rMHV-A59-SS do not express the hemagglutinin-esterase protein 716066 3.1.1.53 additional information the mutant SsNeuAs truncated from 166 to 233 amino acids at the N-terminal a re active for pNP-Ac and their esterase activities are almost the same as the wild-type, only with one exception of the SsNeuA167-410, while the mutant SsNeuAs terminated at amino acid position of 227, 232, 233, 241, 247, 267, 283, 293, 312, 322, 338, 355 and 377 are inactive in CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase activity, even removal of 33 amino acid residues at C-terminal of the SsNeuA leads to a complete loss of CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase activity 714062 3.1.1.53 Q309P naturally occuring mutation, the mutant shows highly reduced catalytic activity compared with the wild-type enzyme 730718 3.1.1.53 Q335P naturally occuring mutation, the mutant shows highly reduced catalytic activity compared with the wild-type enzyme 730718 3.1.1.53 Q428L naturally occuring mutation 730718 3.1.1.53 Q462R naturally occuring mutation 730718 3.1.1.53 R387W naturally occuring mutation 730718 3.1.1.53 R393C naturally occuring mutation 730718 3.1.1.53 R393H naturally occuring mutation 730718 3.1.1.53 R479C naturally occuring mutation 730718 3.1.1.53 S127A naturally occuring mutation, the enzyme shows below 10% catalytic activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 730718 3.1.1.53 S19A site-directed mutagenesis, inactive mutant 716859 3.1.1.53 S258A site-directed mutagenesis 714062 3.1.1.53 S300A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows reduced activity compared to the wild-type NanS 716859 3.1.1.53 S332A no significant influence on activity 750708 3.1.1.53 S332A the mutation does not influence the activity of the enzyme significantly 750708 3.1.1.53 S40A catalytically inactive, active site residue, retained lectin activity 700987 3.1.1.53 S57T loss of esterase activity 673893 3.1.1.53 T132A complete loss of activity 750708 3.1.1.53 T132A the mutation abolishes the enzymatic activity 750708 3.1.1.53 T294A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows reduced activity compared to the wild-type NanS 716859 3.1.1.53 T294S site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows reduced activity compared to the wild-type NanS 716859 3.1.1.53 V459I naturally occuring mutation 730718 3.1.1.53 Y184A decreased ligand binding affinity 700987
