FIGURE 3.
Maspin directed into the classical secretory pathway is not released into the extracellular milieu. A, comparison of the N terminus of HA/maspin and maspin. Boxed residues comprise the HA signal peptide. B, COS cells were transfected with maspin (upper panel) and HA/maspin (lower panel) DNA. Forty-eight hours after transfection, cells were used in a pulse-chase experiment as described under “Experimental Procedures.” COS cells transfected without DNA (mock) were included as a negative control.
