Chemical synthesis and expression of a gene coding for bovine liver phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase

Biochem Int. 1991 Jan;23(2):317-26.

Abstract

A chemically synthesized polynucleotide sequence coding for bovine liver low molecular weight acid phosphatase (which possesses phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase activity) has been cloned in a E. coli expression vector. The recombinant protein retains correct affinity for substrate and inhibitors but shows a reduced specific activity.
