Based on crystal structure analysis of the Serratia nuclease and a sequence alignment of six related nucleases, consented amino acid residues that are located in proximity to the previously identified catalytic site residue His89 were selected for a mutagenesis study. Five out of 12 amino acid residues analyzed turned out to be of particular importance for the catalytic activity of the enzyme: Arg57, Arg87, His89, Asn119 and Glu127. Their replacement by alanine, for example, resulted in mutant proteins of very low activity,
