Popis: The cDNA coding for human proapolipoprotein A-I was expressed as a ubiquitin fusion under the control of the polyhedrin promoter in baculovirus-infected Sf9 Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells. The fusion protein was expressed at high level and was quantitatively cleaved in vivo. The cleaved product was purified and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was established. The data showed that authentic proapolipoprotein A-I has been produced, and thus demonstrated the existence in Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells of a specific ubiquitin hydrolase activity.
