Abstract excerpt
In this report, methods are described to isolate milligram quantities of a mutant apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) protein for use in structure-function studies. Expression of the L159R apoA-I mutation in humans reduces the concentration of plasma wild-type apoA-I, thus displaying a dominant negative phenotype in vivo. Earlier attempts to express and isolate this mutant protein resulted in extensive degradation and...
