Abstract excerpt
The substrate specificity of a phospholipase D (PLD) from Streptomyces antibioticus was altered by site-directed saturation mutagenesis, so that it was able to synthesize phosphatidylinositol (PI). Mutations were introduced in the pld gene at the positions corresponding to three amino acid residues that might be involved in substrate recognition, and the mutated genes were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21...
