LamB protein with additional cysteines was incorporated into the outer membrane of Escherichia coli except with a Ser-30→ Cys substitution. Phage Lambda and starch binding was assayed before and after incubation of mutants with six thiol-specific reagents. Four categories of mutation were recognized on the basis of phenotype and modification for each of the Lambda- and starch binding sites. The thiol modification experiments helped to clarify whether the phenotype of a mutation was due to a substitution at the binding site or an indirect perturbation of the structure. This study suggests that the cysteine mutagenesis/thiol modification approach may be usefully applied to the operational mapping of surface-accessible binding sites or epitopes.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
