Production, isolation and characterization of human profilin fromSaccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract
The yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae was used to express human profilin cDNA. The recombinant protein, isolated by affinity chromatography on poly(L-proline)-Sepharose followed by ion exchange chromatography, associates with non-muscle actin and phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate as authentic profilin.
