Abstract excerpt
The type I signal peptidase SipS of Bacillus subtilis is of major importance for the processing of secretory precursor proteins. In the present studies, we have investigated possible mechanisms of thermal inactivation of five temperature-sensitive SipS mutants. The results demonstrate that two of these mutants, L74A and Y81A, are structurally stable but strongly impaired in catalytic activity at 48 degrees C,...
