Abstract excerpt
In order to study the effect of phosphorylation on the function of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), 10 putative phosphorylation sites were mutated in the hamster StAR. In pcDNA3.1-StAR transfected COS-1 cells, decreases in basal activity were found for the mutants S55A, S185A and S194A. Substitution of S185 by D or E to mimic phosphorylation resulted in decreased activity for all mutants; we...
