Abstract excerpt
The Sulfolobus solfataricus, strain MT4, beta-glycosidase (Ss beta-gly) is a thermophilic member of glycohydrolase family 1. To identify active-site residues, glutamic acids 206 and 387 have been changed to isosteric glutamine by site-directed mutagenesis. Mutant proteins have been purified to homogeneity using the Schistosoma japonicum glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion system. The proteolytic cleavage of...
