Transient functional recombinant expression of myc-tagged wild-type and mutant enzymes in LEC29. Lec32 cells which lack a functional CSS, recombinant expression of His-tagged DmCSS in Escherichia coli 761215 2.7.7.43 DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, when expressed in mammalian and insect cells, recombinant AaCSS shows in vivo and in vitro CSS activities. In contrast, when expressed in bacteria, it lacks CSS activity because the N-terminal hydrophobic region appears to induce protein aggregation, when expressed as C-terminally V5-tagged enzyme in Drosophila S2 cells, AaCSS is predominantly localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, but not in the Golgi. Transient functional recombinant expression of wild-type and mutant myc-tagged enzymes in LEC29. Lec32 cells which lack a functional CSS, recombinant expression of His-tagged AaCSS in Escherichia coli 761215 2.7.7.43 DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, when expressed in mammalian and insect cells, recombinant TcCSS shows in vivo and in vitro CSS activities. In contrast, when expressed in bacteria, it lacks CSS activity because the N-terminal hydrophobic region appears to induce protein aggregation, when expressed in Drosophila S2 cells, TcCSS is predominantly localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, but not in the Golgi.
