Abstract excerpt
The assembly and secretion of transforming growth factor beta superfamily ligands is dependent upon non-covalent interactions between their pro- and mature domains. Despite the importance of this interaction, little is known regarding the underlying regulatory mechanisms. In this study, the binding interface between the pro- and mature domains of the inhibin alpha-subunit was characterized using in vitro...
