Identification of essential amino acids in the Streptococcus mutans glucosyltransferases.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 1997

Tsumori H, Minami T, Kuramitsu H K

Abstract excerpt

A comparison of the amino acid sequences of the glucosyltransferases (GTFs) of mutans streptococci with those from the alpha-amylase family of enzymes revealed a number of conserved amino acid positions which have been implicated as essential in catalysis. Utilizing a site-directed mutagenesis approach with the GTF-I enzyme of Streptococcus mutans GS-5, we identified three of these conserved amino acid positions,...
