Abstract excerpt
To introduce a free sulfhydryl into Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (ETA), methionine 161 in domain I of the toxin was changed to cysteine by site-directed mutagenesis. The free sulfhydryl provides a convenient site for covalent attachment of ETA to other proteins in the production of chimeric toxins. The mutation was then introduced into a variant of ETA that is impaired in receptor binding, termed ETA-60EF61,...
