Identification of key residues in the amino-terminal third of human interleukin-1 alpha.

Abstract excerpt

Two mutational approaches were used to perform a thorough structure-function analysis of the first 53 residues of the 159-residue cytokine human interleukin-1 alpha (hIL-1 alpha). In this study, a total of 26 deletions, 97 multiple amino acid substitutions, and 46 single amino acid substitutions were examined. A synthetic hIL-1 alpha gene with many unique restriction sites was constructed to facilitate the...
