Objective: A convenient PCR was used for site-directed mutagenesis to modify structure of proteins or peptides, For function-structure studies of proteins or peptides. Method: the one-step PCR site-directed mutagenesis strategy can introduce mutation of gene through 5/-end of primer, which was applied on peptide Erabutoxin B (EB) to produce three mutants of EB, the activity of mutants was detected by LD50 value of mice. Result: S8Y, R33D, K47R three mutants of EB were obtained by one-step PCR, LD50 of mutants indicated that the activity of mutants decreased in different degree, the activity of R33D was nearly deprived. Conclusion: one-step PCR site-directed mutagenesis was convenien and efficient, it can be applied on restructuring the primary structure of proteins or peptides.

Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase catalyzes the fifth step of heme biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Studies utilizing sulfhydryl-specific reagents suggest that the enzyme requires a cysteine residue within the catalytic site This hypothesis was tested directly by site-directed mutagenesis of highly conserved cysteine-52 to serine or alanine. Plasmids containing these mutations were able to complement a hem6 mutant strain. In addition, properties associated with decreased uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity were not detected in the mutant strain transformed with these mutant plasmids. These results suggest that the conserved cysteine-52 by itself is not essential for enzymatic activity.Key words: heme biosynthesis, uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, site-directed mutagenesis.
