A dysfunctional C1 inhibitor protein with a new reactive center mutation (Arg-444-->Leu)

FEBS Lett. 1992 Apr 13;301(1):34-6. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(92)80204-t.

Abstract

A P1 mutation (Arg-444-->Leu) was identified in a dysfunctional C1 inhibitor from a patient with type 2 hereditary angioneurotic edema. The mutation was defined at the level of the protein (by sequence analysis of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase-derived reactive center peptide), and the mRNA (CGC-->CTC) (by sequence analysis of PCR-amplified DNA).
