PKU mutation (D143G) associated with an apparent high residual enzyme activity: expression of a kinetic variant form of phenylalanine hydroxylase in three different systems.

Abstract excerpt

We have used three complementary in vitro systems to express the human phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene at high levels. Recombinant PAH was expressed in Escherichia coli (as a fusion protein), in human kidney cells and in a cell-free in vitro transcription-translation system. These systems were used to characterize a novel kinetic variant form (D143G) of the enzyme. The recombinant D143G mutant enzyme had the...
