Abstract excerpt
The neurotoxic activity of ammodytoxin A (AtxA), a phospholipase A(2) from Vipera ammodytes ammodytes venom, has been investigated by protein engineering. With the aim of obtaining AtxA as a non-fused protein in the bacterial cytoplasm and avoiding problems with incomplete cleavage in vivo of the initial Met preceding the first residue (Ser1), a double mutant (S1A/E4Q) was prepared and expressed in Escherichia...
