Identification of unusual replacement of methionine by norleucine in recombinant interleukin-2 produced by E. coli

Moderate amounts of norleucine incorporation into recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) produced in E. coli have been detected. Incorporation of norleucine occurs both at the amino terminal and internal methionines as confirmed by the isolation of norleucine-containing tryptic peptides which eluted later...
