Abstract excerpt
Cyclic protein oligomers are common in cells. However, the importance of the residues that line the central tunnel of protein rings for overall architectural integrity is not well understood. To investigate the role of tunnel positions in protein assembly and stability, we prepared variants of the homo-pentameric lumazine synthase (LS) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in which the three residues that line the middle...
