2.5.1.9 A43L decrease in affinity for substrate 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine. A43L replacement causes substantial perturbation of the overall binding site topology 687468 2.5.1.9 C48A site-directed mutagenesis, nearly inactive mutant 658346 2.5.1.9 C48M site-directed mutagenesis, nearly inactive mutant 658346 2.5.1.9 C48S mutation in the activity cavity, causes significant 19F NMR chemical shift modulation of trifluoromethyl derivatives of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine in complex with the protein. Replacement of C48 changes the electron density topology in the N-terminal substrate binding site in the vicinity of C-6 and C-7 atoms of bound ligand 687468 2.5.1.9 C48S site-directed mutagenesis, highly decreased activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 658346 2.5.1.9 D143G site-directed mutagenesis, soluble protein, too unstable to be purified 637580 2.5.1.9 D143N site-directed mutagenesis, soluble protein, too unstable to be purified 637580 2.5.1.9 D185L site-directed mutagenesis, low remaining activity 637580 2.5.1.9 DELTA1-180 variant that lacks the C-terminal extension the coiled-coil and C-terminal peptide (AaRS1-180) 759481 2.5.1.9 DELTA1-196 variant that lacks the C-terminal extension (1-196). Substantial decrease in association efficiency with lumazine synthase is observed for the truncated variant 759481
