Abstract excerpt
Combined factor deficiency (F5F8D) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the LMAN1 or MCFD2 genes. It has been proposed that this pathogenic process occurs via a multi-step pathway involving metal loss, EF-hand-Ca21 dissociation and assembly of misfolded MCFD2-LMAN1 complex. Here, we have investigated the solution conformations of the MCFD2((D81H,V100D)) protein mutant through extensive...
