LITERATURE
a specific cleavage by endogenous proteases at Lys280 of the 40000 Da enzyme. Cleavage results in the formation of two inactive fragments of 33000 Da and 7000 Da. The fragmentation is associated with a significant change of the enzyme from a tetrameric to trimeric form, and alterations in both secondary and native quarternary structures
-
expression of the native neuB gene product enzyme in E. coli results in a product that is prone to proteolysis during purification so the protein is tagged with a hexa-histidine tag at its N-terminus and rapidly purified
-
phosphoenolpyruvate has a major effect on the thermal stability of the wild-type enzyme requiring the C-terminal AFPL domain
