Abstract excerpt
Avian glutamine phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase contains an NH2-terminal propetide-like sequence. NH2-terminal sequence analysis of immunoaffinity purified enzyme from chicken liver indicates that the propeptide is processed and the mature enzyme starts with Cys. Propeptide processing was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis using a system for expression in HeLa cells. Glutamine-dependent...
