Exploring the role of alanine in the structure of the Lac repressor tetramerization domain, a ferritin-like Alacoil.

Journal of molecular biology - 5 Apr 2002

Solan Amy, Ratia Kiira, Fairman Robert

Abstract excerpt

We are interested in the determinants that specify the structure of antiparallel coiled coils. Antiparallel coiled coils often contain alanine as an important interfacial packing residue; structures containing alanine at certain well-defined positions in the heptad-repeating unit are referred to as Alacoils. Two types have been identified, containing alanine at either the g position of the heptad repeating unit...
