Abstract excerpt
We have previously proposed that transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta receptor activation occurs via a relative rotation between the receptors. This model suggests that in the absence of the ligand the receptor extracellular domain negatively regulates the activation of the receptor complex. To investigate this proposition, four TGF-beta type I and II receptor extracellular/transmembrane-cytoplasmic and...
