Figure 1. Diagram of PHM mutants studied. Rat DProPHM-382s is drawn to scale; the
10 amino acid proregion following the signal sequence was deleted. Rat
PAM-1(53-343) is homologous to rat DbM(208-514); Cys residues conserved between
PHM and DbM are indicated (McMahon et al., 1990; Stoffers et al., 1989).
COOH-terminal truncations and residues altered by site-directed mutagenesis are
indicated. The reactions catalyzed by PHM and DBM are shown.
