CRM 228 (T. Uchida, A. M. Pappenheimer, and R. Greany, J. Biol. Chem. 248:3838-3844, 1973), a mutant form of diphtheria toxin which completely lacks ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, contains five amino acid substitutions. The two amino acid changes that fall within the A chain of the toxin (G79D and E162K) were separately analyzed by substituting a variety of other amino acids at these sites. The substitution at position 79 (G79D) singularly appears to account for the loss of enzymatic activity found in CRM 228.
CRM 228(内田哲、A.M. 帕彭海默和R. 格里尼,《生物化学杂志》248:3838 - 3844,1973年)是一种完全缺乏ADP - 核糖基转移酶活性的白喉毒素突变形式,含有五个氨基酸取代。毒素A链内的两个氨基酸变化(G79D和E162K)通过在这些位点替换多种其他氨基酸分别进行了分析。79位的取代(G79D)单独看来似乎是CRM 228中发现的酶活性丧失的原因。
