Mutagenesis of three residues, isoleucine-60, threonine-61, and aspartic acid-80, implicated in the GTPase activity of Escherichia coli elongation factor Tu.
Aspzincin, a family of metalloendopeptidases with a new zinc-binding motif. Identification of new zinc-binding sites (His(128), His(132), and Asp(164)) and three catalytically crucial residues (Glu(129), Asp(143), and Tyr(106)) of deuterolysin from Aspergillus oryzae by site-directed mutagenesis.
