Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9612797A1] An isolated recombinant human L-isoaspartyl/D-aspartyl protein methyltransferase is obtained by overexpression of cDNA coding for isozyme II in an E. coli strain, and a cDNA clone of the wheat enzyme and a purified enzyme from wheat are obtained. These enzymes are useful in treatment of medical conditions and diagnosis of disease associated with an increase in L-isoaspartyl/D-aspartyl residues of polypeptides in a tissue.
