Abstract
Two expression vectors were constructed to produce a putative mature alpha-pokeweed antiviral protein (alpha-PAP) in Escherichia coli with its NH2- and COOH-terminal extrapeptides excised. One was for its intracellular expression with a methionine at its NH2-terminal. The other was for its secretion using an ompA signal peptide. The former product was purified from the total soluble proteins of the transformant with a yield of 1.74 mg/liter and the latter had a yield of 5.55 mg/liter. Both products exhibited RNA N-glycosidase activity on wheat ribosomes and inhibitory activity to protein synthesis in a rabbit reticulocyte system.Entities:
