Abstract excerpt
No prokaryotic expression of integrin alphavbeta3 has been reported so far. We report here the expression of C-terminally truncated alphavbeta3 receptors in E. coli considering the known features required for dimerization and ligand binding. The expressed protein was insoluble despite of the addition of 'solubilizers' to the culture medium. Osmotic stress conditions combined with added exogenous solutes resulted...
