Abstract excerpt
Edema factor is a calmodulin dependent adenylyl cyclase secreted as one of the primary exotoxins by Bacillus anthracis. A histidine residue at position 351 located in its active site has been implicated in catalysis but direct evidence of its functional role is still lacking. In the present study, we introduced mutations in full-length edema factor (EF) to generate alanine (H351A), asparagine (H351N), and...
