The invention relates to AGT mutants showing, when compared to the wild type human AGT, two or more advantageous properties selected from (a) reduced DNA interaction (b) localisation of the expressed protein in eukaryotic cells that is no longer restricted ...
By use of a murine model for Buruli ulcer, Mycobacterium ulcerans was found to be susceptible to rifampin, with the MIC being 0.5 to 1 micro g/ml. Three mutants were isolated after rifampin monotherapy. Two were resistant to rifampin at 8 micro g/ml, and o ...
A new technology for the specific and covalent labelling of fusion proteins with small organic molecules in vivo and in vitro has recently been developed in our laboratory. The method is based on the genetically encoded fusion of a target protein to O6-alk ...
Dissection of complex processes using model organisms such as yeasts relies heavily upon the use of conditional mutants. We have generated a collection of fission yeast mutants sensitive to dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO). Among these we have found a mutant in t ...
Cytochrome c peroxidase (I) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was subjected to directed mol. evolution to generate mutants with increased activity against ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)]. Using a combination of DNA shuffling and s ...
The mammalian Ku70 and Ku86 proteins form a heterodimer that binds to the ends of double-stranded DNA in vitro and is required for repair of radiation-induced strand breaks and V(D)J recombination [1,2]. Deletion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes HDF1 ...
Eph receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) and their ephrin ligands are involved in the transmission of signals which regulate cytoskeletal organisation and cell migration, and are expressed in spatially restricted patterns at discrete phases during embryogenesis ...
The major part of the dUTPase-encoding region of the visna virus genome was deleted. Intracerebral injection of the mutant virus resulted in a somewhat reduced viral load compared to that resulting from injection of the wild type, especially in the lungs, ...
We describe 83 recessive autosomal male-sterile mutations, generated by single P element mutagenesis in Drosophila melanogaster. Each mutation has been localized to a lettered subdivision of the polytene map. Reversion analyses, as well as complementation ...
Cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was subjected to directed mol. evolution to generate mutants with increased activity against the classical peroxidase substrate, guaiacol, thus changing the substrate specificity of CCP from the p ...
