Abstract excerpt
The deletion of nine residues from the C-terminus of the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) results in deposition of the mutant protein in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies and loss of chloramphenicol resistance in Escherichia coli. This folding defect is relieved by C-terminal fusion of the polypeptide with as few as two residues. Based on these observations, efficient positive selection for the...
