The structural gene of pneumolysin was randomly mutagenized. A screen, developed to identify mutants with reduced hemolytic activity, identified substitutions within the cysteine-containing region and also at residues toward the N terminus of the toxin. These are the first reported changes within the N-terminal region of the toxin that affect cytolytic activity.
肺炎溶血素的结构基因被随机诱变。开发了一种筛选方法来鉴定溶血活性降低的突变体,该方法鉴定出含半胱氨酸区域内以及毒素N端残基处的替代。这些是首次报道的毒素N端区域内影响细胞溶解活性的变化。
