Abstract excerpt
Glycogenin, the self-glucosylating primer for glycogen synthesis, is expressed in wild-type E. coli as a recombinant protein in an already partly glucosylated form, owing to the presence of its substrate, UDP-glucose. By using an E. coli mutant strain lacking in UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity, we have succeeded in expressing carbohydrate-free glycogenin (apo-glycogenin) in good yield. When provided with...
