“…MTD13, MTD57, and MTD108 were derived from signal sequences from NP_639877, CAD0547.1, NP_629842.1, and NP_003842, respectively, as previously described (26, 27). Histidine-tagged fusion proteins containing EGFP or the full-length 46-kDa RUNX3 protein (33) and MTD13, MTD57, MTD85, MTD108, the FGF4 MTS (M m , AAVLLPVL-LAAP), or a random sequence (S, SANVEPLERL) were cloned into pET-28a(+) (Novagen) and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3) cells.…”
