Significance The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves as a platform for the packaging of most secretory proteins into conserved coat protein complex II (COPII)-coated transport carriers destined ER–Golgi intermediate compartments (ERGIC) in animal cells. In this work, we demonstrate that Trk-fused gene (TFG), implicated multiple neurodegenerative diseases and oncogenesis, functions pathway by interacting directly with COPII Sec23. Specifically, show TFG outcompetes interactions between inner...
Abstract ( R )-stereospecific amine transaminases -ATAs) are important biocatalysts for the production of )-amine compounds in a strict stereospecific manner. An improved -ATA, ATA-117-Rd11, was successfully engineered manufacture sitagliptin, widely used therapeutic agent type-2 diabetes.
