Abstract excerpt
Engineering of secreted protease variants exhibiting altered substrate specificity is a challenging task because effective screening methods for the desired property are not available yet. In this study, we sought to obtain variants of Kex2, a yeast Golgi protease, which exhibit altered P2 specificity. We first randomly mutated three Asp residues (D176, D210, and D211) that constitute the S2 pocket of Kex2 and...
