Biosynthesis and post-translational processing of site-directed endoproteolytic cleavage mutants of Pro-CCK in AtT-20 cells.

Abstract excerpt

Site-directed mutagenesis in which individual cleavage site P1 amino acids were changed to Ala was performed to delineate their importance in the processing of pro-CCK in mouse pituitary tumor AtT-20 cells. Individual substitution of cleavage sites on pro-CCK, viz., CCK 58 cleavage site R/A to A/A, CCK 33 cleavage site R/K to A/K, CCK 22 cleavage site K/N to A/N, and CCK 8 cleavage site R/D to A/D, did not...
