abstractText | Glutathione reductase (GR) is a chemotherapeutic target. Murine GRcDNA, which contains 85% GC in the 38 codons following the start codon, was assembled from the PCR-amplified exon 1 and a downstream cDNA prior to expression in Escherichia coli as a His(6)-tagged protein. Recombinant GR, an FAD-containing homodimer, corresponds in its enzymic and spectral properties to GR isolated from murine Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. Another cDNA, representing GR with a mitochondrial targeting sequence, yielded two distinct enzymically active expression products. |
