Translating mussel adhesion

Translating Mussel Adhesion Four Uncertainties about the Interface... [Pg.325]

The polyphenolic adhesive protein of the mussel Mytilus edulis is an unusual protein composed mainly of repetitive decapeptide and hexapeptide sequences. In the mussel, the protein is first produced in a precursor form and is converted to an adhesive by post-translation-al modification. To develop an efficient renewable resource for production of the polyphenolic protein, we have used genetic engineering technology. cDNA sequences encoding portions of the polyphenolic protein were identified and expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [Pg.448]
