Abstract excerpt
Mutants in the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) protein have been created by site-directed mutagenesis and expressed in HeLa cells, using a recombinant vaccinia virus system. Removal of either or both glycosylation sites yielded proteins which retained wild-type inhibitory activity against both human fibroblast-type collagenase (FIB-CL) and Mr 72000 gelatinase (GL). However, the double...
