Abstract excerpt
Fasciclin I is an insect neural cell adhesion molecule consisting of four FAS1 domains, homologs of which are present in many bacterial, plant, and animal proteins. The crystal structure of FAS1 domains 3 and 4 of Drosophila fasciclin I reveals a novel domain fold, consisting of a seven-stranded beta wedge and a number of alpha helices. The two domains are arranged in a linear fashion and interact through a...
