Abstract excerpt
Alanine mutations of the proposed catalytically essential residues in histoaspartic protease (HAP) (H34A, S37A and D214A) were generated to investigate whether: (a) HAP is a serine protease with a catalytic triad of His34, Ser37 and Asp214 [Andreeva N, Bogdanovich P, Kashparov I, Popov M & Stengach M (2004) Proteins55, 705-710]; or (b) HAP is a novel protease with Asp214 acting as both the acid and the base...
