Abstract
When membranes from Escherichia coli MRE 600 are added to an in vitro translation system, they are able to cleave correctly prehuman placental lactogen to yield the mature hormone. The protein was identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and by determining its amino acid sequence. These studies were aided by the development of a new method for the separation of human placental lactogen from its precursor.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
