Abstract

FMLP-receptor DNA was expressed in Escherichia coli. The expressed product could specifically bind FMLP. This is the first-reported expression of a functional FMLP receptor in Escherichia coli. We confirm that receptor glycosylation is not essential for ligand binding. A deletion mutant did not bind FMLP, suggesting that the deleted portion plays a role in ligand binding.
