Abstract excerpt
To study further the regulation of the heme-regulated eIF-2 alpha kinase (HRI), we have produced functional wild type HRI using the baculovirus expression system. The amount of recombinant HRI protein expressed in insect cells is approximately 10 times higher than levels in reticulocytes. Baculovirus-expressed HRI (BV-HRI) is indistinguishable from HRI purified from rabbit reticulocytes. It is active both as an...
