4.2.99.B1 D256A site-directed mutagenesis, C-terminal polymerase domain, completely eliminates dRP lyase activity, proficient in DNA synthesis by the polymerase reaction 694332 4.2.99.B1 D829N/E830Q the polymerase inactive mutant D829N/E830Q retains full 5'-dRP lyase activity. Domain mapping of the 98-kDa enzyme reveals that the 5'-dRP lyase active site resides in a 24-kDa-domain 694467 4.2.99.B1 E71Q retains wild-type enzyme activity 692940 4.2.99.B1 E75A about 75% of wild-type enzyme activity 692940 4.2.99.B1 F25W about 85% of wild-type enzyme activity 692940 4.2.99.B1 H34G about 45% of wild-type enzyme activity 692940 4.2.99.B1 K310A eliminates more than 90% of the wild-type dRP lyase activity, indicating that Lys 310 is the main nucleophile involved in the reaction, forming the Schiff base internediate during beta-elimination 692957 4.2.99.B1 K35A about 50% of wild-type enzyme activity, Lys72 and Lys35 are involved in the dRP lyase reaction catalyzed by the 8-kDa domain and Lys35 is involved in 5'-phosphate recognition. Lys35 may stabilize the leaving group in the dRP lyase reaction through its interaction with the 5'-phosphate of the DNA-terminus 692940 4.2.99.B1 K35A part of the active site, 50% loss of enzyme activity 692010 4.2.99.B1 K35A/K68A part of the active site, similar to wild-type enzyme activity 692010
