In vitro reconstitution of the extraordinary post-translational processing of Concanavalin A precursor : circular sequence permutation by enzymatic cleavages and protein splicing

The lectin Concanavalin A is processed <i>in planta </i>by a splicing-mediated circular permutation of its initial single-chain precursor, pro-Concanavalin A. Active (carbohydrate-binding) protein conformations can be purified by dextran-affinity chromatography. This thesis demonstrates...
