Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to identify amino acid residues essential for the thermostability of the DNA-binding protein HU from the thermophile Bacillus stearothermophilus (BstHU). Two mutants, BstHU-A27S and BstHU-V42I, in which Ala27 and Val42 in BstHU were replaced by the corresponding amino acids Ser27 and Ile42, respectively, in the homologue from a mesophile B. subtilis (BsuHU), were less stable...
