Abstract excerpt
Acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) is transported to the cytosol and the nucleus when added to cells expressing FGF receptors, implying that aFGF must cross cellular membranes. Since protein translocation across membranes commonly requires extensive unfolding of the protein, we were interested in testing whether this is also necessary for membrane translocation of aFGF. We therefore constructed mutant growth...
