The site-directed mutagenesis in the S1'-pocket of Thermoactinomyces vulgaris carboxypeptidase T was performed and two variants containing double D253S,T255D and single T255D mutations were obtained. Precursors of the wild-type carboxypeptidase T and its mutant derivatives were expressed in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies, refolded, activated by subtilisin, purified by gelfiltration on Superdex G-75. The catalytic activity with tripeptide substrates DNPAAR and ZAAL was analysed. The introduction of the aspartic residue in 255 position ( like to mammalian carboxypeptidase B), insigniticantly enzymatic activity of the double mutant towards both substrates, as measured by Km and kcat. An addition of the aspartic residue into S1'-binding pocket did not affect single mutant binding with the basic substrate while the Km value for the hydrophobic substrate increased approximately 40 times as compared with wild-type carboxypeptidase T and attained a level comparable with carboxypeptidase B
