Drug-resistance mutations increase the soluble expression of AR LBD with antagonists. (a) Chemical structures of DHT, bicalutamide, enzalutamide, apalutamide and pruxelutamide. (b) The L702H/H875Y/F877L/T878A quadruple mutation increases the soluble expression of AR LBD in the presence of pruxelutamide (Prux) in bacteria. The W742L mutation increases the soluble expression in the presence of bicalutamide (Bic) but not pruxelutamide. The LBD is expressed as a SUMO fusion protein. Ins, insoluble fraction of cell lysate. Sol, soluble fraction after nickel affinity chromatography. |
