additional information
-
recombinant HRT2, expressed in Escherichia coli, is significantly activated in the presence of a centrifuged latex fraction, resulting in the formation of polyisoprenes corresponding to natural rubber, but the recombinant HRT2 does not exhibit significant activity independently. HRT1/HRT2 require additional cofactors from the eukaryotic cells to produce distinct cPT activity, which seem to be contained in latex species
