Abstract excerpt
A series of truncation mutants lacking 218, 229, 250, and 269 amino acid residues from the carboxyl terminus of blood coagulation factor XIII A-chains (FXIII A), designated as delta K513, delta A502, delta Y481, and delta K462, respectively, were expressed in Escherichia coli to define the minimum structure required for transglutaminase activity. delta K513 and delta A502 displayed a 3.8-4.7-fold reduction in the...
