Conclusions: Mutational Studies
The residues identified from the model of mouse granzyme A [∆ L201, G202, E203, W211] when mutated into the equivalent positions of the human homologue: 1> switch the substrate specificity at the P3 position, 2> increase the preference for small residues [A/G] over branched residues [I/V] at the P4 position and 3> broaden residue selection at the P2 position.
