Abstract excerpt
The role of the degree of oligomerization in the structure and function of human surfactant protein A (SP-A) was investigated using a human SP-A1 mutant (SP-A1(DeltaAVC,C6S)), expressed in mammalian cells, resulting from site-directed substitution of serine for Cys(6) and substitution of a functional signal peptide for the cysteine-containing SP-A signal sequence. This Cys(6) mutant lacked the NH(2)-terminal...
