摘要: Abstract Saccharomyces cerevisiae leukotriene A 4 hydrolase (LTA4H) is a bifunctional aminopeptidase/epoxide and member of the M1 family metallopeptidases. In order to obtain more thorough understanding aminopeptidase activity enzyme, two conserved tyrosine residues, Tyr244 Tyr456, were altered phenylalanine mutant proteins characterized by determining K M k cat for various amino acid β-naphthylamide substrates. While mutation Tyr456 exhibited minimal effect on catalysis, caused an overall 25–100-fold reduction in catalytic all substrates tested. Furthermore, LTA4H Y244F 40-fold decrease affinity RB-3014, transition state analog inhibitor, implicating stabilization.
