Abstract excerpt
We have devised a direct screening method to isolate mutations in the KAR2 gene, and have isolated a BiP/KAR2 mutant, kar2-404, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a small halo-forming mutant of secreted mouse alpha-amylase. The mutation site was identified as a point mutation at t1337 to c1337 resulting in the Ile-404Thr mutation of mature Kar2-404p, located at the most NH2-terminal first beta-sheet structure (beta...
