Abstract excerpt
From the comparison of the three-dimensional structure of mesophilic pyroglutamyl peptidase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and the thermophilic enzyme from Thermococcus litoralis, the intersubunit disulfide bond was estimated to be one of the factors for thermal stability. Since Ser185 was corresponded to Cys190 of the thermophilic enzyme by sequence alignment, the Ser185 residue was replaced with cysteine by...
