A recombinant version of the receptor binding domain of rat alpha 1-macroglobulin (RBDv) consisting of residues 1319-1474 has been expressed in E. coli. Competition experiments with 125I-labelled methylamine treated human alpha 2-macroglobulin reveal that the alpha 1-macroglobulin-RBDv exhibit the same high affinity for the alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor as the entire 40 kDa light chain from rat alpha 1-macroglobulin. It is therefore concluded, that all determinants for receptor interaction reside in the C-terminal approx. 150 residues of the alpha-macroglobulin subunit.
由大鼠α1-巨球蛋白(RBDv)的1319 - 1474位残基组成的受体结合域的重组形式已在大肠杆菌中表达。用125I标记的甲胺处理的人α2-巨球蛋白进行的竞争实验表明,α1-巨球蛋白-RBDv对α2-巨球蛋白受体的亲和力与大鼠α1-巨球蛋白的整个40 kDa轻链相同。因此可以得出结论,受体相互作用的所有决定因素都位于α-巨球蛋白亚基的C末端约150个残基中。
