Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of the C-terminal region on the activity and thermostability of orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRTase, EC 2. 4.2.10) from Thermus thermophilus, four C-terminal amino acid-deleted OPRTases (1, 2, 3, and 5 residues deleted) were constructed. The activities of all the mutant OPRTases were lower than that of wild-type OPRTase at all temperatures investigated (50-80 degreesC). V- and...
