Site directed mutagenesis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe glutathione synthetase produces an enzyme with homoglutathione synthetase activity.

Three different His-tagged, mutant forms of the fission yeast glutathione synthetase (GSH2) were derived by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant and wild-type enzymes were expressed in E. coli DH5α and affinity purified in a two-step procedure. Analysis of enzyme activity showed that it was possibl...
