Abstract
Expression in haculovirus-infected insect cells allows sufficient production of G-protein coupled receptor for structural studies. An important drawback of this expression system comes from the presence of unprocessed and biologically inactive receptors that have to be eliminated during receptor purification steps. We show that vire particles released from Sf9 cells infected with a recombinant baculovirus coding for the human β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) cDNA contain glycosylated and biologically active β2AR. In addition, post-translational modifications known to modulate receptor activity were found to occur in these particles.Keywords
