Abstract excerpt
Mutations in fibrillin-1 lead to Marfan syndrome and some related genetic disorders. Many of the more than 600 mutations currently known in fibrillin-1 eliminate or introduce cysteine residues in epidermal growth factor-like modules. Here we report structural and functional consequences of three selected cysteine mutations (R627C, C750G, and C926R) in fibrillin-1. The mutations have been analyzed by means of...
