Abstract excerpt
Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1, (LRP1) is a large multifunctional receptor that binds more than 25 physiologic ligands. In addition, it functions as the surface receptor for several Rhinoviruses, HIV-tat and Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE). We report that the expression of PE within mammalian cells can serve as a probe of LRP1 maturation and functionality. To avoid cell killing, an enzymatically...
