Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
construction and expression of a functional minigene of CPSII for functional complementation of mutants, overview Toxoplasma gondii

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
C345A site-directed mutagenesis of an essential catalytic triad residue of the GATase domain, the mutation completely abolishes complementation activity and GATase activity Toxoplasma gondii
additional information disruption of Toxoplasma gondii CPSII induces a severe uracil auxotrophy with no detectable parasite replication in vitro and complete attenuation of virulence in mice. A CPSII cDNA minigene efficiently complements the uracil auxotrophy of CPSII-deficient mutants, restoring parasite growth and virulence, engineered mutations within, or proximal to, but the catalytic triad of the N-terminal glutamine amidotransferase domain inactivates the complementation activity of CPSII and demonstrates a critical dependence on the apicomplexan CPSII GATase domain in vivo Toxoplasma gondii
N348A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation reduces complementation activity, GATase activity and the initial growth rate, but the N348A mutant exhibits the high virulence phenotype of the parental RH strain in C57Bl/6 mice Toxoplasma gondii
N348R site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation completely abolishes complementation activity and GATase activity Toxoplasma gondii
