摘要

Monovalent-cation-activated enzymes are abundantly represented in plants and in the animal world. Most of these enzymes are specifically activated by K~+, whereas a few of them show preferential activation by Na~+. The monovalent cation specificity of these enzymes remains elusive in molecular terms and has not been reengineered by site-directed mutagenesis. Here we demonstrate that thrombin, a Na~+-activated allosteric enzyme involved in vertebrate blood clotting, can be converted into a K~+-specific enzyme by redesigning a loop that shapes the entrance to the cation-binding site. The conversion, however, does not result into a K~+-activated enzyme.
