Abstract excerpt
The copper-containing yeast methylamine oxidase E406N mutant has an altered consensus sequence surrounding the topaquinone cofactor (residue 405). The mutation has no effect on the final yield of the active-site topaquinone cofactor during biogenesis but causes the enzyme to be inactivated by substrate methylamine [Cai, D., and Klinman, J. P. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 7674-7653]. In this study we show that the...
