In the past five years, there have been remarkable advances in the study of β-amyrin synthase. This review outlines the catalytic mechanism and substrate recognition in β-amyrin biosynthesis, which have been attained by the site-directed mutagenesis and substrate analog experiments.

We describe the first human RNase 6 crystal structure in complex with sulfate anions. Kinetic analysis, site-directed mutagenesis and molecular dynamics simulations identified novel substrate recognition and cleavage sites.

ABSTRACTTransposon Tn558integrated in the chromosomalradCgene was detected for the first time inStaphylococus pseudintermedius. It carried a novelfexAvariant (fexAv) that confers only chloramphenicol resistance. The exporter FexAv exhibited two amino acid substitutions, Gly33Ala and Ala37Val, both of which seem to be important for substrate recognition. Site-directed mutagenesis that reverted the mutated base pairs to those present in the originalfexAgene restored the chloramphenicol-plus-florfenicol resistance phenotype.
