Probing the C1q-binding site on human C-reactive protein by site-directed mutagenesis.
1 Jun 1994
Abstract excerpt
We have used oligonucleotide-directed site-specific mutagenesis to investigate structural determinants of the C1q-binding site of C-reactive protein (CRP). Eleven mutant rCRP cDNAs, D112N; D112A; D112K; D112E; K114T; K114A; K114E; K114R; R116L; D112N, K114T; and D112N, R116L were constructed and expressed in COS cells. Wild-type (wt) and all mutant rCRPs bound to phosphocholine-substituted BSA and also to...
