Cleavage and release of membrane protein ectodomains, a regulated process that affects many cell surface proteins, remains largely uncharacterized. To investigate whether cell surface proteins are cleaved through a shared mechanism or through multiple independent mechanisms, we mutagenized Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and selected clones that were unable to cleave membrane-anchored transforming growth factor...
