3.4.22.53 C105S inactive mutant enzyme 644016 3.4.22.53 C105S inactive mutant enzyme. The mutant enzyme provides a purified calpain, that is stable to autolysis and oxidation, which is likely to facilitate crystallization in both the presence and absence of calcium 644028 3.4.22.53 C105S mutant enzyme of mutant large subunit m-C105S-80K, coexpressed with 30000 Da subunit in Sf-9 cells does not degrade casein nor the artificial substrate succinyl-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide. The mutant enzyme does not show autolytic activity with Ca2+ 644029 3.4.22.53 D346E mutant with decreased enzymatic activity, increased rate of autoproteolytic degradation 696327 3.4.22.53 D362K mutant with decreased enzymatic activity, increased rate of autoproteolytic degradation 696327 3.4.22.53 E504S Ca2+ concentration required for half-maximal activity is 0.129 mM compared to 0.242 mM for the wild-type enzyme. Refined structure of the mutant enzyme in absence of Ca2+ is indistinguishable from wild-type enzyme 644019 3.4.22.53 E504S mutation decreases specific activity to 90% compared to wild-type enzyme 644019 3.4.22.53 G423R mutant with decreased enzymatic activity, increased rate of autoproteolytic degradation 696327 3.4.22.53 H262A inactive mutant enzyme 644016 3.4.22.53 K225S mutation decreases specific activity to 88% compared to wild-type enzyme 644019
