Abstract excerpt
The FAD binding site of human liver monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) has been investigated by mutagenesis of the amino acid site of covalent FAD attachment (Cys-406) to an alanyl residue. Expression of the C406A mutant in Saccharomyces cerevisiae results in the formation of an active enzyme, as found previously with the rat liver enzyme. The activity of this mutant enzyme is labile to solubilization, thus requiring...
