Abstract excerpt
Glutamic acid 553 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (ETA) was identified earlier as a putative active-site residue by photoaffinity labeling with NAD. Here ETA-E553D, a cloned form of the toxin in which Glu-553 has been replaced by aspartic acid, was purified from Escherichia coli extracts and characterized. Cytotoxicity of the mutant toxin for mouse L-M cells was less than 1/400,000 that of the wild type. The...
