Abstract
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) fibroblast growth factor (BmFGF) is a glycosylated protein that is efficiently secreted into the medium. Here, we constructed mutant NPVs expressing His-tagged wild-type (wt) or mutant BmFGFs and showed that the two residues, asparagine 44 and 171, are the glycosylation sites of BmFGF. Also, removal of N-linked glycans from BmFGF resulted in almost complete inhibition of the secretion into the medium,...
