Y. Inui et al., EFFECTS OF GLYCOSYLATION OF THE RESIDUE AT POSITION-14 IN-OVINE ANGIOTENSINOGEN ON THE HUMAN RENIN REACTION, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 62(8), 1998, pp. 1612-1614
A mutant angiotensinogen, S14N, in which Ser(14) of ovine angiotensino
gen was replaced by Asn to form a N-glycosylation site, was produced i
n CHO cells. The molecular weight was about 3,000 larger than that of
wild-type ovine angiotensinogen, indicating that S14N angiotensinogen
was glycosylated at Asn(14). In the reaction with human renin, the K-m
of mutant angiotensinogen was 3 times increased, but the V-max was no
t affected by the mutation.
