Abstract

Amino acid residues of the carboxyl-terminal region of kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase were modified using segment-directed mutagenesis. Six different mutant enzymes with single amino acid replacements were selected out of 59 clones by DNA sequence analyses. The mutant enzymes were purified and it was found that the thermostability of one mutant enzyme was identical to the wild type, whereas the other five were less thermostable at varying degrees. The data suggested that changes in the enzyme thermostability depend not only on the position but also on the species of amino acid residue replaced.
