Abstract excerpt
Although baculovirus vectors are powerful tools for the heterologous expression of proteins in insect cell cultures, some insect and plant microsomal P450 proteins are not effectively expressed in this system. Hypothesizing that their expression failures might result from collisions between their N-terminal sequences and adjacent cytosolic sequences, we compared and mutated the N-terminus of Papilio multicaudatus...
