Active site complementation in engineered heterodimers of Escherichia coli glutathione reductase created in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

By directed mutagenesis of the cloned Escherichia coli gor gene encoding the dimeric flavoprotein glutathione reductase, Cys-47 (a cysteine residue forming an essential charge-transfer complex with enzyme-bound FAD) was converted to serine (C47S) and His-439 (required to facilitate protonation of the reduced glutathione) was converted to glutamine (H439Q). Both mutant genes were placed in the same plasmid, pHD,...
