Abstract excerpt
The Calvin Cycle enzyme phosphoribulokinase is activated in higher plants by the reversible reduction of a disulfide bond, which is located at the active site. To determine the possible contribution of the two regulatory residues (Cys16 and Cys55) to catalysis, site-directed mutagenesis has been used to replace each of them in the spinach enzyme with serine or alanine. The only other cysteinyl residues of the...
