Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of the 21-24 (pepsin numbering) loop in prochymosin, the amino acid residues GTPP at positions 21 through 24 were replaced with GG, the equivalent loop residues from its homologous protein, penicillopepsin, or SG, GS by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutants except GTPP(21-24)GS could be expressed in Escherichia coli. Activation studies indicated that the refolded prochymosin mutants were...
