Abstract excerpt
Amino acid (aa) residues (Val-67 and Ala-114) have been suggested as being mainly responsible for actin-binding in human and bovine deoxyribonucleases I (DNase I). This study presents evidence of these two aa mutational mechanisms, not only for actin-binding but also for folding of DNase I in mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Human and viper snake (Agkistrodon blomhoffii) enzymes are inhibited by actin, whereas...
