Abstract excerpt
The underlying specificity of the interaction between insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) and mammalian Type 2 insulin-like growth factor/cation-independent mannose 6 phosphate receptor (IGF2R) is not understood. We have mutated residues A54 and L55 of IGF-II in the second A domain helix to arginine (found in the corresponding positions of IGF-I) and measured IGF2R binding. There is a 4- and 3.3-fold...
