a series of deletions from the 3'-end of the CMP-NeuAc synthetase coding region is constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli Escherichia coli

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
DELTA1-227 mutant enzyme shows no CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase activity, mutant enzyme is able to hydrolyze platelet activating factor Escherichia coli
DELTA1-229 mutant enzyme shows no CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase activity, mutant enzyme is not able to hydrolyze platelet activating factor Escherichia coli
DELTA230-418 mutant enzyme shows 43% of the wild-type activity with CTP and N-acylneuraminate as substrates, decrease in stability compared to wild-type enzyme Escherichia coli
DELTA247-418 mutant enzyme shows 15% of the wild-type activity with CTP and N-acylneuraminate as substrates, decrease in stability compared to wild-type enzyme Escherichia coli
DELTA340-418 mutant enzyme shows 65% of the wild-type activity with CTP and N-acylneuraminate as substrates, as stable as wild-type enzyme Escherichia coli
DELTA384-418 mutant enzyme shows 31% of the wild-type activity with CTP and N-acylneuraminate as substrates, as stable as wild-type enzyme Escherichia coli
DELTA396-418 mutant enzyme shows 38% of the wild-type activity with CTP and N-acylneuraminate as substrates, as stable as wild-type enzyme Escherichia coli
additional information a series of deletions from the 3'-end of the CMP-NeuAc synthetase coding region is constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli. As a result, the catalytic domain required for CMP-NeuAc synthetase is found to be in the N-terminal half consisting of amino acids 1–229. The C-terminal half consisting of amino acids 228–418 exhibits platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activity Escherichia coli
