Fig. 4. Expression of Hub does not affect the conversion of proinsulin to insulin.
Cells were infected with adenovirus, sorted and labelled as described in the
legend to Fig. 3. After the 150
minute basal chase, cells were incubated for a further 60 minutes in the
presence of secretagogues. The basal and stimulated chase media and extracts
of cells at the end of the two chase periods were analysed by HPLC as
described in Fig. 2. Proinsulin
conversion (mean±s.e.m., n=4) is presented as labelled
insulin/labelled proinsulin + intermediates + insulin x 100 (corrected
for the difference in the number of leucines in each).
