EGF-mCherry Fusion Protein Expressed in E. coli Shows Product Heterogeneity but a High Biological Activity.

abstract：:A chromatin acceptor protein for the avian oviduct progesterone receptor (PR), termed receptor binding factor 1 (RBF-1), has recently been shown to (1) be a component of the nuclear binding sites (acceptor sites) for PR and (2) generate high-affinity binding sites (termed the RBF-1 class of sites) on avian genomic DNA...
