title: Expression in Escherichia coli, phosphorylation with cAMP-dependent protein kinase and proteolysis by calpain of a 71-kDa domain of human endothelial actin binding protein.
abstract: A middle region of human endothelial actin-binding protein (ABP) was subcloned and expressed in the pT7-7/E. coli BL21 (DE3) system. As predicted by the amino acid sequence this 71 kD truncated protein (residues 1717-2360) contained a calpain cleavage site and two of the three presumptive cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sites. This peptide fragment comprised all the elements needed to confer stability against calpain proteolysis to ABP after PKA phosphorylation.
