Abstract excerpt
The hydrophobic S1' subsite is one of the major determinants of the substrate specificity of thermolysin and related M4 family proteases. In the thermolysin-like protease (TLP) produced by Bacillus stearothermophilus (TLP-ste), the hydrophobic S1' subsite is mainly formed by Phe130, Phe133, Val139 and Leu202. In the present study, we have examined the effects of replacing Leu202 by smaller (Gly, Ala, Val) and...
