Abstract excerpt
Among the active-site-serine penicillin-recognizing proteins, the Streptomyces R61 extracellular DD-peptidase is the only one to have a His-Thr-Gly sequence [instead of Lys-Thr(Ser)-Gly] in 'box' VII. The His residue was replaced by Gln or Lys. Both mutations induced a marked decrease in the rates of both tripeptide substrate hydrolysis and acylation by benzylpenicillin and cephalosporin C. The rate of hydrolysis...
