Abstract excerpt
Seven mutant forms of human phosphomannomutase 2 were produced in Escherichia coli and purified. These mutants had a Vmax of 0.2-50% of the wild enzyme and were unstable. The least active protein (R141H) bears a very frequent mutation, which has never been found in the homozygous state whereas the second least active protein (D188G) corresponds to a mutation associated with a particularly severe phenotype. We...
