S434F in NrdE generates the thermosensitive phenotype of corynebacterium ammoniagenes CH31 and enhances thermolability by increasing the surface hydrophobicity of the NrdE(Ts) protein.

Abstract excerpt

The thermosensitive phenotype of strain CH31, a derivative of Corynebacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6872, was allocated by cloning, sequencing, and genetic complementation to a single C-->T exchange in the nrdE (nucleotide reduction) gene at nucleotide 1301. Protein modeling indicates the impaired surface hydrophobicity of NrdE(Ts) due to the S434F transition.
