Abstract excerpt
In silico alanine scanning mutagenesis on the cleavable isoform of mucin 1 revealed isoleucine 67 as one of the key factors contributing to the strain at the autoproteolytic cleavage site. In this study, we demonstrate the structural basis of isoleucine-induced rigidity towards the strain-driven autoproteolysis at G(-1)S(+1) cleavage site of mucin 1. We further evaluated the gain in flexibility upon isoleucine 67...
