The Evolutionarily Conserved Trimeric Structure of CutA1 Proteins Suggests a Role in Signal Transduction
1 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
CutA1 are a protein family present in bacteria, plants, and animals, including humans. Escherichia coli CutA1 is involved in copper tolerance, whereas mammalian proteins are implicated in the anchoring of acetylcholinesterase in neuronal cell membranes. The x-ray structures of CutA1 from E. coli and rat were determined. Both proteins are trimeric in the crystals and in solution through an inter-subunit beta-sheet...
