Abstract excerpt
A conserved region containing three to five proline residues is present just behind the signal-anchor sequence in the amino terminal portion of most microsomal cytochrome P-450s. We have shown that the proline residues are crucial for correct folding in Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells by using mutants of P-450(M1) in which one to three of the proline residues were changed to alanine. To examine the effects of the...
