Abstract excerpt
Our previous study on chimeric mutants of alpha-galactosidase suggested that two peptide regions encoded by exons 1-2 and 6 of the enzyme gene contribute to substrate recognition (Ishii, S. et al. (1994) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1204, 265-270). In this study, we constructed five single amino acid substitutions for functional analysis of the amino acid residues around glutamine-279, the mutation site detected in an...
