Abstract excerpt
The cytoplasmic domains of UNC5 are responsible for its netrin-mediated signaling events in axonal migrations, blood vessel patterning, and apoptosis, although the molecular mechanisms governing these processes are unknown. To provide a foundation for the elucidation of the UNC5-mediated signaling mechanism, we determined the crystal structure of the cytoplasmic portion of UNC5b. We found that it contains three...
