Abstract excerpt
Tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease is a 27-kDa catalytic domain of the polyprotein nuclear inclusion a (NIa) in TEV, which recognizes the specific amino acid sequence ENLYFQG/S and cleaves between Q and G/S. Despite its substrate specificity, its use is limited by its autoinactivation through self-cleavage and poor solubility during purification. It was previously reported that T17S/N68D/I77V mutations improve the...
