Abstract excerpt
The functional roles of the (His)17 region and an insert region in the eukaryotic nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 4.2.1.84) from Monosiga brevicollis (MbNHase), were examined. Two deletion mutants, MbNHaseΔ238-257 and MbNHaseΔ219-272, were prepared in which the (His)17 sequence and the entire insert region were removed. Each of these MbNHase enzymes provided an α2β2 heterotetramer, identical to that observed for...
