Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin STp is presumed from its DNA sequence to be synthesized in vivo as a 72-amino-acid residue precursor that is cleaved to generate mature STp consisting of the 18 carboxy-terminal amino acid residues. There are two methionine residues in the inferred STp sequence in addition to the methionine residue at position 1. In order to confirm production of the STp 72-amino-acid...
