Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) binds to two different types of serine/threonine kinase receptors termed type II (TbetaR-II) and type I (TbetaR-I). TGF-beta is unable to bind to TbetaR-I in the absence of TbetaR-II, and initiates receptor assembly by binding with high affinity to TbetaR-II. Previous structural analysis of the TGF-beta3-TbetaR-II complex has suggested that two charged amino acid...
