Protease resistant PAH
The Homo sapiens endogenous enzyme is synthesised by the liver. However, as part of the Imperial College iGEM 2009 project, [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London The E.ncapsulator], the enzyme is released in the intestine of the individual. The presence of proteases in the intestine was therefore a serious problem which would jeopardise the viability of the curative enzyme. We therefore performed site directed mutagenesis in order to alter a serine residue (Ser16) to a glutamine as this change has previously been correlated with resistance against intestinal proteases . This will allow safe passage through the stomach and gut in order to carry out function as required by Imperial College's 2009 iGEM project, [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London The E.ncapsulator].
