Abstract excerpt
Mnemiopsin 2 from Mnemiopsis leidy has three Ca2+-binding motifs and has luminescence properties in the presence of calcium and coelenterazine. It has been reported that the pattern of calcium binding among EF-hand loops of various photoproteins is different. Here, we designed and constructed two variants of mnemiopsin 2 (E50G/D47N and E50G/E53T mutants) with modified EF-hand I in which the negative charge in the...
