摘要
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was tested as a recipient for functional expression of a mammalian lysosomal enzyme. The β chain of human β-hexosaminidase formed active dimeric enzyme, HexB, in transformants. HexB activity was localized to the vacuole, the yeast counterpart to the lysosome. A simple in situ enzyme assay was developed, which could be useful in expressing other lysosomal cDNAs. © 1990.
