Abstract

When murine interleukin-6 is overexpressed in Escherichia coli, a small population of molecules exhibits a novel C-terminal modification. Peptide mapping, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and automated N- and C-terminal sequencing identified a peptide ("tag" peptide), -Ala-Ala-Asn-Asp-Glu-Asn-Tyr-Ala-Leu-Ala-Ala-COOH, encoded by a small metabolically stable RNA of E. coli (10Sa RNA) attached to truncated C termini of the recombinant protein. A mutant strain of E. coli in which the chromosomal 10Sa RNA gene (ssrA) is disrupted does not produce this C-terminal modification, confirming that the tag peptide originates from the ssrA gene.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
