Abstract excerpt
Modification of substrate specificity of an autoprocessing enzyme is accompanied by a risk of significant failure of self-cleavage of the pro-region essential for activation. Therefore, to enhance processing, we engineered the pro-region of mutant subtilisins E of Bacillus subtilis with altered substrate specificity. A high-activity mutant subtilisin E with Ile31Leu replacement (I31L) as well as the wild-type...
