Expression of a lipid transfer protein in Escherichia coli and its phosphorylation by a membrane-bound calcium-dependent protein kinase

Protein Pept Lett. 2007;14(8):793-9. doi: 10.2174/092986607781483697.

Abstract

Ha-AP10 is a basic antifungal peptide from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus antifungal peptide of 10 kDa) belonging to the family of plant lipid transfer proteins. We report here its expression in E. coli [Glutathione S-transferase (GST) system] and its phosphorylation by endogenous membrane-bound calcium-dependent protein kinases.
